“I am extremely disappointed that a candidate like Corey Stewart could win the Republican nomination for U.S. Senate. This is clearly not the Republican Party I once knew, loved and proudly served. Every time I think things can’t get worse they do, and there is no end in sight,” sigh tweeted former Virginia Lt. Gov….

Shorter Donald Trump: What’s the deal with evil? It ain’t so bad! Hell, sometimes, I feel a little evil myself!
Yes, the lion lay down with the lamb in Singapore, with the meeting of El Donaldo and Kim Jong-un. The only problem was, no one could tell which caudillo was which. Okay, I’m being unkind to El Presidente, as is more or less my wont. He rips children from the arms of their parents, but…
Nothing to see here, folks. Move along, move along.
Ramesh Ponnuru, perhaps to fulfill a quota of some sort, has dashed off what I like to think of as a semi, hemi, demi never Trumper, “Three Clichés About Trump That Have to Die”,1 soundly thumping those lazy, self-righteous liberals who say all sorts of mean things about the Donald which just are not true!…
Rich Lowry, last seen grabbing his ankles like a man
You know what is like rape? Rape is like rape: when it’s inevitable, you might as well bend over and enjoy it. Such is the gist and giblets of Rich Lowry’s recent post over at the National Review, “The Never Trump Delusion”, informing his principled peers that anal rape is the better part of valor—though…
Donald Trump: Even when he’s (kind of) right, he’s awful
What is one to make of El Supremo’s sweaty, long-running mancrush on stunning Slavic muscleboy Vladimir Putin,1 aka (in Donnie’s dreams) Vlad the Impaler? Is it just a thuggish admiration society, the way Hitler had it in for Mussolini? Secret investments in a polar pipeline? Or maybe the whole golden shower thing? Well, who knows,…
The Wrath of Eli
Yo, Donald Trump! Eli Lake has so had it with you! Listen up! Condemn Putin, goddamnit! Condemn him and all his works! No more of your tricks! No more “tough action and words from the underlings, and baffling nonsense or sinister silence from the president.” Stop being so sinister! Eli is putting you on notice:…
Stormy Update: Memo to Karen: Get it in writing, honey!
Earlier this week, I remarked on the lack of attention being paid to Karen McDougal, 1998 Playmate of the Year, and sometime playmate for Donald Trump, according to the New Yorker, thanks to the now standard avalanche of new scandals and disasters that now fill what we must call “Trump Time”. Why not at least…
You know who I feel sorry for? Karen McDougal, that’s who I feel sorry for.
Remember Karen McDougal? She used to be big. Well, biggish. Well, on the road to biggish, definitely, when it was “revealed” a couple of weeks ago in America’s bible of titillation, the New Yorker, that the 1998 Playmate of the Year had an affair with a married Donald Trump back in the day and had…
The Snake at the Table
A month ago, thoughtful conservative Ross Douthat wrote a column, “The Necessity of Stephen Miller”, in which he argued that if liberals want a deal on immigration, they’re going to have to allow White House dude Stephen Miller a place at the table. Yes, Ross acknowledges, El Stevo has views on immigration that are at…
Ramesh Ponnuru, suffering a failure of nerve
I often visit the website of the National Review, to find out what “responsible conservatives” are thinking, one of the most responsible (usually) being Ramesh Ponnuru, though Ramesh, I’m sad to report, while once a fairly stout Never-Trumper, has been sliding slowly into the slough of hemi-demi-semi Never-Trumpism, where, like misery, he enjoys company. NR…
