And ignore the 400 guest columnists from AEI you have on the payroll for some reason, who appear to try to one-up each other on which one can be more wrong about everything.

I always found this analysis silly.

I'll ask myself these questions.

"What is the Texas GOP thinking by pushing this black woman in Texas to run in Texas, as a black woman, for Senate, in Texas, while being a black woman?"

I'm going to need some time to knock these rocks around in my head.

Well, when I'm committing crimes and need to get away in a car quickly, what exactly am I supposed to do? Scooter away?

Since we are announcing who subscribes, I subscribe, read the article during breakfast, and thought it was fine.

Unless I missed something, this was about the contrast in style and well-liked Democratic candidates.

It's far from a hit piece.

It's been a revelation on how little garbage we actually use. Most of what I carry out of my house is recycling and compost.

It's like "this is how it's supposed to work."

Oh the "Vatican has a wall" argument.

This sounds like a guy who takes brides that match his salary.

College rifle hasn't been the same since dominant power Xavier dropped it long ago.

I saw four cars on the walk home in the afternoon that still had their rear windows covered in snow. It was wild. From GTown to Foggy Bottom.

How difficult is it for one of these interviewers to ask him to point out where this is happening.

Just present a dozen Democrats on a board and say "Point to the person who is pushing pronouns and bathrooms."

I'd like a guy to speak about dignity and empathy and not be a pussy about it.

"Charles in Charge."

Then be all like "What happen Scott Baio?"

The Root of Jesse The Maundy Monday Newsletter - This Week in History February 23 - March 1.

I remember Jesse Jackson and a religion class lesson that describes him perfectly.

The week in history is out. open.substack.com/pub/okayhist...

You're right. Zel Miller spoke at the 2004 Republican convention and backed GW Bush. I can never trust any southern democrat!

It's wild to read something like this less than a week since Jesse Jackson passed away.

Reed Hundt would strongly disagree with this position. If you want to be challenged, grab his book "A Crisis Wasted" and the view of Obama changes significantly.

I was just going to mention that you can go to St. Martin, stay on the French side, and treat yourself to some fantastic French cuisine.

I'm going to miss not going this year.

The Enforcer The vice president is now a goon in the political bar brawl.

When you have nothing to do, might as well be a goon for the president. Can't hurt. open.substack.com/pub/okayhist...

You know what's really funny - you can spend some time and look up all the articles from the Atlantic in 2024, when Biden/Harris was telling everyone that democracy was on the line - and two years later all we can say now it they were pussies.

The WH would have more success among its base if it pushed to stop having games where they don't speak American.

My goodness, the good people of France have to experience my terrible Cleveland Browns as their first NFL game.

This is my favorite insight about the 2024 election. that somehow just a few different words would have made the difference, when the entire country knew who Trump was.

The lack of accountability of the electorate is baffling.

This is how the Bari sisters β€œset the tone” of a party.

I think I may begin my parties with punching attendees in the face as an β€œice breaker” and asking them if it hurt.

Cause, hey, why not?

Raymond is the worst kind of grifter - he thinks he holds the membership rolls of the Catholic Church and that there is a way to kick someone out due to party alignment.

Also, both of these guys are dumb.

Isn't it funny how much we complain when it comes to predicting the weather? This week in history is now up.

Well, I guess the best way to fight crime is to work in the same building where it festers.

I like how Steve Tisch wants everyone to know that Epstein was setting him up with hookers. Sure, they were college girls, and he was in his 50s, and sure, some of them never met him, but he didn't go to the island and regrets everything.

I'm shocked, SHOCKED about this.

Opinion | The left is badly misreading the politics of illegal immigration There’s a reason sanctuary cities are the epicenter of clashes. It’s not the one Democrats think.

You have to hand it Marc Thiessen at AEI who has the Washington Post as his side hustle platform.

Here is another example of Marc A. spinning his tires like a stuck car, stubborn in his efforts of not understanding how all of this works.
