Did Trump Over-perform, Under-perform In SC? I lean towards under-perform, sorta like Josh Marshall. But the MSM is peddling a different story: I’m not going to speculate what it means for the general election. But this is a lot of persistent opposition for a candidate who has always been running as a de facto incumbent. […]

Why Did It Take Them More Than Three Years To Do This?: The United States on Friday restored its longstanding policy that settlements are inconsistent with international law, reversing a stance implemented by the former administration, hours after Israel announced a plan to advance the construction of thousands of new settlement homes in response to […]

More Proof Rethugs ‘Caught The Car’ On Reproductive Rights. Virtually nobody is opposed to in-vitro fertilization. Including, among others, America’s Most Pious Politician, Mike Pence. And yet…: Kellyanne Conway, a former top aide to Mr. Trump, in December circulated polling conducted by her firm to lawmakers for a conservative women’s organization that showed vast majorities […]

Take a deep breath. Lotsa stuff to catch up on. 1. AG Jennings has NOT endorsed Bethany Hall-Long. I’m authorized to write that by someone in a position to grant such an authorization. I disagree with said someone that, because politicians often appear in pictures together, there’s no harm/no foul with BHL’s mailer. I say […]

READ THIS! IN ITS ENTIRETY! Were I omnipotent, I would make you read it. I know you’re not all TPM members (you should be), so I’ll excerpt what I can: First came the news that prosecutors in special counsel David Weiss’s office had decided that the confidential FBI informant who had been one of Biden’s […]
Et Tu, Kathy?
More precisely: Et Tu, Kathy? When the chief law enforcement officer of the State poses with the, at best, ethically-challenged Lieutenant Governor, we can be pretty certain that there will be no justice when it comes to BHL’s serial flouting of campaign finance laws. Disgusting and disappointing: When women lead, the job gets done… Whether […]

Trump’s Latest Scam(s). There is no end to his Barnumesque hucksterism: Trump was met with loud boos as well as cheers at the Philadelphia Convention Center as he introduced what he called the first official Trump footwear. The shoes, shiny gold high tops with an American flag detail on the back, are being sold as […]

Trump Vs. ‘Uppity Black Women’. That context seems to have been absent from reporting on the the brow-beating of Fani Willis by his Georgia attorneys. But, to me, that’s pretty much what it’s all about. Looks like Letitia James will have the $450 mill last laugh: Justice. Speaking of Uppity Black Women or an […]
BREAKING: Trump Ordered To Pay $354 Million Plus…
…give up running any business in New York for three years. From The NY Times: A New York judge on Friday handed Donald J. Trump a crushing defeat in his civil fraud case, finding the former president liable for conspiring to manipulate his net worth and ordering him to pay a penalty of more than […]

Aleksei Navalny Dies In Russian Prison. Not as important as Fani Willis’ love life, and will be treated accordingly by the media. I mean, Tucker Carlson didn’t even ask Putin about him: Aleksei A. Navalny, the most outspoken domestic critic of President Vladimir V. Putin, has died in prison, Russia’s Federal Penitentiary Service said on […]

Only six days this week b/c of my delayed report last week. But we have more news and speculation/innuendo this week than last week. 1. Matt Meyer Lands Political Heavyweight As Campaign Manager. Generally I am loathe (to borrow a word from the supercilious Greg Lavelle) to attribute much weight to someone’s campaign manager. We’re […]

RNC Set To Pay Trump’s Legal Fees? Looks like that’s what’s behind Trump’s choices for RNC leaders: Several senior Republican officials are concerned that Donald Trump’s expected takeover of the RNC will ultimately pave the way for the committee to once again cover his legal bills. Those fears come in the aftermath of Trump endorsing […]
BREAKING: McGuiness Conviction Upheld
From the News-Journal: The Delaware Supreme Court has affirmed the misdemeanor conflict of interest conviction of former state Auditor Kathy McGuiness while overturning her other misdemeanor conviction, remanding that charge for a potential second trial. “Notwithstanding the defendant’s inflamed rhetoric, the record amply demonstrates that she received a fair trial,” wrote Justice Abigail M. LeGrow […]
