Trump Has Earned a Friend

He is alive! Norman Podhoretz is alive, and he agreed to an interview with The Wall Street Journal's very perceptive Barton Swaim this weekend. He says that many of his peers are now deceased but not him, and he certainly did not sound deceased. Bill Buckley and Irving Kristol have given up the ghost, and American political commentary is the poorer for their passing, but Norman is…

Four Times the Nets BURIED Crazed Leftists Bullying Manchin or Sinema

Joe Manchin on Sunday likely doomed Joe Biden’s massive $2 trillion spending plan and the media reaction was predictably hyperbolic. There were audible gasps on ABC when the news that he would vote no broke. The New York Times on Monday’s front page accused him of “deserting” the President.

On Morning Joe, Scarborough expresses understanding of the Democrats' anger at Manchin, but warns them that they are pushing him into the arms of the GOP.
