Following the Harris/Bash interview, I looked at the Facebook home page of two women writers, each well-educated and bitchy. (I mean that in a good way.) The reaction of Lady A: “I’m bored.” Lady B: “She did great.” Now — neither of them was lying. They said what they

I’ve been a professional journalist for more than 60 years, I’ve covered all kinds of stories and interviewed all kinds of people. There is no subject I am afraid to tackle, but if I were Dana Bash, I’d be feeling a butterfly belly, and a puckered sphincter

The Democrats’ theme for Monday’s Night One was “For the People,” which is Kamala Harris’ tagline, reflecting how she introduced herself in court when she was a prosecutor. I call it Losers Elders Night, with the two biggest names being losing Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, and nudged-into-retirement President Joe

So now we know, Kamala Harris has turned left and rolled the dice by selecting leftist, two-term Minnesota governor Tim Walz. Harris is already being portrayed by Republicans as the “most liberal U.S. senator,” one of the coastal elites. Harris is to the left of Joe Biden, and has

Kamala Harris is being too clever by half with how she plans to handle the now-aborted second Presidential debate scheduled for Sept. 10. Many in the media are saying Donald J. Trump “backed out.” Team Kamala says he is “afraid” to debate her. Say what you will about Trump, he

Here’s how the narrative goes: If Joe Biden dropped out of the race because of health reasons, then he should resign because he is unfit to serve. In his earlier notice of dropping out of the race, Biden did not cite health reasons, or any other reason. But, if

If you call Kamala Harris crazy or stupid you are making a serious mistake. That’s not me talking, it’s Dawn Stensland. Dawn is a workhorse on local right-wing radio, heard on WPHT/1210-AM from 6-10 a.m. on the Nick Kayal show, then from 10 a.m.-noon

It’s official! 2024 has just passed 1968 as the most fucked exciting election in American history. In 1968, President Lyndon Baines Johnson bowed out in March, leaving lots of time for Democrats to pick another candidate. They chose the vice president, Hubert H. Humphrey. And they lost. No, I

Joe Biden decides this is the right time to float the idea of Supreme Court “Reform”? As recently as last year, he opposed trying to reform the court, including by expanding the court’s membership. Now, he’s contemplating establishing term limits, an enforceable ethics code, plus some other changes,

Thoughts while waiting for Day 2 of the Republican National Convention to begin: Donald J. Trump must be feeling lucky. On Saturday, he wins the staying alive lottery by surviving an assassination attempt by maybe an inch, and then on Monday, a friendly judge dismisses the charges of mishandling classified

The plan was to watch the first night of the Republican National Convention, analyze it, condense it, and explain it. As Mike Tyson said, “Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth.” The first punch came Saturday, with the attempted assassination of former President Donald J. Trump.

As always, President Joe Biden’s “Big Boy” (that’s how press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre described it) news conference started late. Thursday’s presser was scheduled for 5:30, but — whoops, sometime Thursday it was pushed back to 6:30. It actually began at 7:27 This White House has
