One idea now being floated is Liz Cheney for House Speaker. That might work. She is a Republican. She is a conservative. The Democrats trust her. She has experience in the House. There are probably four or Republicans who would vote, or at least be absent from voting, to put her over the top.

An Exception to My "Defining Issue" Assertion In a development that will warm the hearts of combative conservatives nationwide, hard-line conservative Jeff Landry trounced a field of more than a dozen Republican, Democratic and independent opponents, some with big names, to win the race for...

I don't see those two posts as garbage or promoting hatred. This is an incredibly complex situation with many aspects and high, high tension. The two posts highlight a couple of those aspects.

Israeli Support for Netanyahu is Dropping I thought this might happen. Netanyahu branded himself as Mr. Security for years. But now, the massive security failure on his watch has Israeli voters upset. Keep your eye on this. Leadership changes may develop. "Leaders often receive a boost in...

Court to Rudy: #FAFO Former Trump Attorney and once a star DA Giuliani now sits at the defendant's table and the judge is not happy with his behavior. Rudy knows the law and the courts. He knows better than to earn the consequences he just earned. Yet he took that path. What is so important to...
