Go Eastman, young John. But that's not my advice even if I wrote it in two memos.

Ted Cruz makes light of his winter Cancun trip. Twitter reminds him that he's the joke

Yeah, I’m Pro-Life. Quote Me.
Repost: Fordham Political Review. No one issue in politics today causes greater polarization than the issue of abortion. I remember sitting down with my mother in high school, nerves fluttering in my stomach as I […]

Those committed to truth and facts must fight five times harder than the Republicans and their lies.
It depresses me to acknowledge this, but the Republicans’ commitment to blatant and serial lying, and Orwellian “make believe” governing, pose a real threat by overwhelming the public debate and individual’s efforts to stay grounded. While a bit well-worn […]

BWAHAHAHAHA … a wide open GOP in 2024 and Chris Christie is serious about… running
If the previous guy doesn’t run, the 2024 POTUS field seems “wide-open” with dark horses, stalking horses, mudders, and nags. With a seven figure advance, the Pence memoir is going to need a lot of […]

Was the previous guy's presidency the most successful Russian intelligence operation in history
So much still unresolved from the Trump era installed in 2016, and continued through 2020, a Russian intelligence operation. Hard to tell whether it ranks with Robert Hanssen, Aldrich Ames, or even Operation Pandora, the […]

'Does he have Stockholm syndrome?' Ex-Pence aide slams former boss's 'election integrity' op-ed
