[ad_1] Network shows have finally returned and with them comes a new narrative. As seen in Chicago P.D., NBC seems ready to give into the anti-cop crowd that protested its police dramas this past summer. Up next on the chopping block is one of its longest running shows, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit. The
[ad_1] The last few years have heard a steadily louder drumbeat that Republicans should become a “worker’s party.” I think there’s a lot to like in that idea — although I’d prefer for Republicans to be a “parent’s party” first — and have looked on with interest as policy thinkers have tried to work out
[ad_1] Former Texas legislator and failed U.S. Senate candidate Beto O’Rourke blamed “powerful memes” and the incompetence of the national Democratic party when assessing the “incredible performance” of Republicans in his state.

[ad_1] Food Network star Alton Brown is a long-time Republican voter. Brown admitted he is a Republican voter and many of his fans on social media reacted the way you would expect – they went nuts. Then, as the vitriol swirled around the internet, Brown went further. He made a strange reference to the Holocaust
[ad_1] Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D., N.Y.) in Queens, N.Y., February 22, 2020 (Andrew Kelly/Reuters) Since last week, when we first learned of election results that were surprisingly close at the presidential level and unexpectedly bad for Democrats at the congressional level (and elsewhere), there has been a low-level civil war brewing within the Democratic Party.
[ad_1] It shouldn’t be admirable for government officials to publicly defend the integrity of their own work, especially on a matter as basic as election security. But after spending five years watching so many rodents in the GOP’s leadership class cower before Trump for fear of losing their jobs, having DHS and its partner agencies
[ad_1] Tuesday I wrote about NY Times’ polling guru Nate Cohn’s take on the 2020 polling. He suggested it may, when all is said and done, turn out to be a worse miss than 2016. Today the Times published another piece by reporter Daivd Leonhardt which doesn’t quite go that far but nevertheless concludes the
[ad_1] Why, pray tell, is Georgia doing a hand recount rather than re-running the machine count? That’s a good question from ABC News’ Brad Mielke in this short clip of his interview with Brad Raffensperger, who never quite answers the why question. Instead, the Georgia secretary of state explains why people can have confidence in the results
[ad_1] A great nation has nearly come to blows over two geriatrics with bad hair. Let’s devolve power down. It’s time for a new electoral map, one that colors the states according to what Donald Trump thinks should happen to the votes there.

[ad_1] President Donald Trump arrives to board the Air Force One as he departs Miami, Fla., November 2, 2020. (Carlos Barria/Reuters) Time magazine’s headline declares, “As Donald Trump Refuses to Concede, America Is Caught Between Crisis and Confusion.” Are we? I’m not saying this current moment is great. The president is suggesting a vast conspiracy
[ad_1] I mean, it’d be nice if *someone* were getting a presidential intelligence briefing. According to Trump’s public schedule, the last one he had was on October 2. Other Senate Republicans have called today for letting Biden be briefed, as Ed noted earlier, but Graham’s a special case because he’s the first real Trump crony
[ad_1] The slowest states in the country to count votes for uncalled House seats have been California and New York. Of the two, New York seems to be doing the worst. There are currently 15 uncalled races nationwide and 9 of those are in New York. But as of a short time ago, one of
[ad_1] Michael Moore wrote an open letter to Joe Biden, where he outlined actions he wants to see the former Democratic vice president execute if he enters the White House, including embracing socialism and eliminating the Electoral College.

[ad_1] On Monday, Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) put the final nail in the coffin of far-left hopes that Democrats could pack the Supreme Court and abolish the Senate filibuster in 2021. Manchin doubled down on his pledge, and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) was none too pleased. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) voiced skepticism, however.
[ad_1] Is this what the media mean by post-election “unity?” CBS This Morning on Thursday previewed a new CBSN (their online platform) documentary on gun control and the threat of “self-identified militias.” As expected, the hack, anti-Second Amendment reporting compares “gun safety laws” with militia gun nuts. Co-host Anthony Mason previewed, “Adam Yamaguchi embedded with militia

[ad_1] Yesterday I said we were still in the “respectable” phase one of Trump’s attempt to overturn the election, where he pursues traditional remedies like demanding recounts and bringing voter-fraud claims to court. That’s what any candidate would do when they think they’ve been cheated — or rather, in his case, when they want fans
[ad_1] Fred Funk at the Players Championship in Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla., March 28, 2005 (Rick Fowler / Reuters) Impromptus today is mainly a post-election column — about the GOP, the Electoral College, and other such subjects.

[ad_1] Left-wing Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot is getting her share of ridicule for a Twitter video she posted Thursday.

[ad_1] Any move to accelerate withdrawals would set up a clash with the nation’s top generals and other civilians, who have argued publicly against leaving Afghanistan too quickly while the security situation remains volatile.

[ad_1] Sources have been whispering to reporters for more than a week about Trump wanting to build a competitor to Fox after leaving office. This story ran on the morning of Election Day, *before* Fox committed the Ultimate Betrayal by calling Arizona for Joe Biden that evening. My guess is that the chatter about a
[ad_1] I know what most of you are thinking after reading this headline. That can’t be right. I was repeatedly assured by the people at CNN that this never happens and it’s all fake news generated by Trump supporters. Well, if it is, they’re doing a really good job of getting law enforcement officials in
[ad_1] In July of 2019, conservatives gathered in Washington, D.C. for the National Conservatism Conference, the coming out party for the new Edmund Burke Foundation and a three-day discussion about the future of conservatism in the Age of Trump.
