Trump throws Biden a lifeline on the age problem
What is President Joe Biden's biggest liability as he runs for reelection? Republicans could give you a lot of answers, but the most important is the president's age. He's 80 now and would be 82 upon beginning a second term and 86 at the end of it. He looks and sounds every minute of his age....

'A riot is the language of the unheard'
On Feb. 7, 2022, Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR), a member of the Judiciary Committee, wrote a letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland. It was about the case of Montez Lee, a Rochester, Minnesota, man sentenced to 10 years in prison for setting a fire that killed a man during the Black Lives Matter…

Trump's enemies come up with new scheme to take him out
Let's say you hate Donald Trump and really, really, really don't want him to become president of the United States again. How do you prevent that? Well, most would agree the best way would be to defeat him electorally, either in the Republican primaries or in the 2024 general election.

As first debate approaches, is GOP race already over?

Alarm goes out: Trump could win

What Hunter Biden made

Politicize defense? Never!

The 2024 election year will be a year of trials

The stuff Hunter Biden didn't get indicted for
There's no doubt Hunter Biden had some serious tax problems.

There was also...

Mike Pence's ill-starred presidential run

Professional golf's political meltdown
