The New ‘McCarthy Committee’. This new MAGAT playground has the potential to be every bit as destructive as the House Un-American Activities Committee and the anti-Communist witch hunt by Sen. Joseph McCarthy: Both the McCarthy hearings in the 1950s and investigations by the House Un-American Activities Committee in the 1930s and 1940s have come to […]

Could We See Vince McMahon Strutting Down King Street? There’s always a Delaware Connection, and we should be thankful for that.

I don’t think […]

It will never happen.
Also today – Southwest ads insult to injury.

Will Donald Trump be brought to justice in 2023? If so, on which grounds? Would it be for his treasonous role in the Jan. 6 failed coup? His many apparent tax crimes? Michael Smerconish, the reasonable-conservative pundit, says indictment is most likely in the stolen-documents case because special counsel Jack Smith is a bulldog whose […]
