Thoroughbred conservatives — a dying breed

100 percent pure bred economic, moral, social and constitutional conservatives are almost extinct in the public arena. If you have read some of my work in the past, you may recall, I first got involved in public policy going door to door for Ronald Reagan in 1980. All I knew, he was pro-life, the rest … Continued

With last minute move, Sessions cements his awful legacy

Here come the rewrites of Jeff Sessions’ pathetic history. Already, the apologists and conservatives have begun to mold Sessions’ as a rule-of-law stalwart, a steadying force, a letter-of-the-law stickler for truth and justice. He stood up to Trump.

The anti-American American president

The American president has refused to defend America. That is, as far as I can tell, an unprecedented development in American history.
