Mike Bloomberg is cool, correct and effective, and all the more worrisome for it. If November were to come down to a Trump-Bloomberg race — despite the former New York City mayor’s woeful debating skills — Americans would get the choice of swapping one president with an a-constitutional view of the office, for another. The […]

Back during the scandal over his sexual exploitation of a young intern, Bill Clinton was pilloried in this space for his moral defects. To which many liberals responded with derision. Morality? What did that matter? The economy was good, we were at peace and Clinton was hardly the first man to fool around and lie […]

Recently, Dr. Laura Blaisdell told Mainers during a radio interview that her ‘No on 1’ coalition includes a group of trusted, local physicians. These are the same people who stroll around the state capitol donning their lab coats. Their subliminal message of superiority is not missed on the discerning.

Both involved thuggery wherein nasty Sanders followers harassed other candidates and their backers with misogynist and racist delight. Worse than these outbursts are Sanders’ two-faced responses to them. He verbally […]

Can the republic survive Attorney General William Barr? That’s the question that has seized the media and center left, which have worked themselves into a full-blown panic over an attorney general who is, inarguably, a serious legal figure and one of the adults in the room late in President Donald Trump’s first term. Some 2,000 […]
