Republicans have pounced on Joe Biden for mishandling government documents as a private citizen following the release of special counsel Robert Hur’s report.

However, it added, the transgressions didn’t warrant prosecution, which would be difficult given his appearance as a […]
Politics is full of indignities and embarrassments, many of them self-inflicted. Remember Michael Dukakis in the tank? Dan Quayle’s “potato incident?” George H.W. Bush’s run-in with a checkout scanner? John Kerry’s long running water sport issues? The list of gaffes, bugles, and flubs is nearly endless. But there can be upsides to slip-ups. Everyone makes […]

Kevin Stitt’s desk, but I’d love to see it happen if only for the meltdown it would cause among gun control activists and the state’s biggest teacher’s union. SB 1699 is short and succinct.

One of my favorite YouTube video series is ReasonTV’s Great Moments in Unintended Consequences. It looks at past and more modern efforts by governments and other large organizations to solve problems, only to create new problems or even make the original problem worse. And these efforts are always taken on “with the best of intentions” without anyone paying heed to warnings […]
The least plausible candidate for the Democratic nomination has decided to withdraw from the race for the White House. Marianne Williamson, a self-help guru, expressed her gratitude to her supporters before announcing her decision to suspend her campaign for president in a video message. Williamson cited her disappointing results in the primaries as the reason […]
THURSDAY PDB – If you must have the Trump trial in the nation’s Capital, take it out of the heart of DC. Instead of fencing off and fortifying the D.C. courthouse, the author argues, it makes more sense (and is less expensive) to move the trial to a more secure location, such as a military base.
