Former AG Barr: There will be no FBI accountability after Russiagate debacle Nov 03, 2022

Show notes

Former Attorney General Bill Barr does not mince words about FBI misconduct in its pursuit of candidate, and then president, Donald Trump. "I think the behavior of the leadership of the FBI during 2016 and the first part of 2017 has been catastrophic," Barr told me in a recent interview. "It harmed the country, it was completely unfair to the president, and it has completely undercut the FBI."

Democratic reaction to Scalise shooting is model for GOP today Nov 02, 2022

Show notes

Many Democrats and their allies in the media are blaming Republicans for a deranged man's attack on Paul Pelosi, husband of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA). There's no question suspect David DePape is deranged, or what the British would call barking mad. Consider this, from the Washington Post: "In [a] blog post on October 24, four days before the attack on Pelosi, DePape shared images of a wooden birdhouse he said he had purchased for an invisible fairy he communicated with that had begun interfering with his life. 'He appears in a form that makes sense in my reality because I can't see fairies. He'll do things to let me know it's him and he often appears as a bird,' DePape wrote."

Midterms, Biden's agenda, and the filibuster Nov 01, 2022

Show notes

On March 2, 2021, when he had been president less than two months, Joe Biden met with a group of liberal historians in the White House East Room. The subject was Biden's "determination to be one of the most consequential presidents" in U.S. history, according to an account in Axios. The group talked a lot about Franklin Delano Roosevelt and the New Deal — Biden's model for the "think-big, go-big mentality" that characterized the first months of his presidency. The president has "giant plans teed up that could make Biden's New Deal the biggest change to governance in our lifetimes," Axios wrote.

The Republican Senate formula Oct 27, 2022

Show notes

Tuesday's newsletter covered the fact that GOP strategists believe the race for control of the House is over. "The midterm results, as far as the House of Representatives is concerned, are pretty much set in stone," it said. "Republicans are going to win. Democrats are going to lose." That's the House. Now, what about the Senate?

What's next after the Fetterman disaster? Oct 26, 2022

Show notes

Early voting is well underway in Pennsylvania. Indeed, one reason Democratic Senate candidate John Fetterman, recovering from a serious stroke, wanted to delay his debate with Republican Mehmet Oz was to bank as many early votes as possible before debate night. Given Fetterman's disastrous performance in the debate, it was a good idea. And it worked. According to the Election Project, which compiles early voting figures from around the country, 685,289 Pennsylvanians cast their ballots before the debate. Of those, 499,396 were registered Democrats. The Fetterman campaign wanted to get its team to the polls before what was likely to be a discouraging debate.

House midterms: Past the point of no return Oct 25, 2022

Show notes

The midterm elections are now two weeks away. Some political commentators have an interest in portraying them as one big, suspenseful, down-to-the-wire contest. Maybe some of those commentators are partisan. Maybe some just think it's good for business. But the fact is, at this point, the midterm results, as far as the House of Representatives is concerned, are pretty much set in stone. Republicans are going to win. Democrats are going to lose. The Senate is moving in that direction, too. It might already be there.

Exposing Biden's 'Jim Crow 2.0' slander Oct 24, 2022

Show notes

Early voting began in Georgia six days ago. There is, of course, intense interest in both the state's Senate race, with University of Georgia football legend Herschel Walker challenging Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock, and the governor's race, between Gov. Brian Kemp and Democratic challenger Stacey Abrams. Kemp is going to win, but the Senate contest is essentially tied. Its outcome might well determine which party controls the Senate.

The Democrats' oil folly Oct 19, 2022

Show notes

President Joe Biden has just announced his plan to release even more oil, 15 million barrels, from the nation's Strategic Petroleum Reserve. That is the last portion of the 180 million barrels he authorized for release in March, which was the biggest withdrawal ever from the reserve that is supposed to ensure a supply of oil in case of a national emergency.

Who's more in lockstep — Republicans with Trump, or Democrats with Biden? Oct 18, 2022

Show notes

WHO'S MORE IN LOCKSTEP — REPUBLICANS WITH TRUMP, OR DEMOCRATS WITH BIDEN? There was an extraordinary Senate debate Monday night in Orem, Utah, between Sen. Mike Lee and challenger Evan McMullin. It was extraordinary in part because McMullin, who is running as an independent and says that, if elected, he will not caucus with either Democrats or Republicans, agreed with Lee in many policy areas, such as federal spending and regulatory overreach. "I think our difference is in approach," McMullin said at one point.
