While we’re focusing on the American election, interesting things are happening in Germany—and they reflect deep dissatisfaction with the current government’s immigration policies (open borders for Islam) and its green policies (the destruction of Germany’s once-thriving manufacturing sector). What’s especially fascinating is one of the biggest political changes is coming from the left, in the form of the Sahra Wagenknecht Party. I’m not particularly current on Germany’s political scene and I’ve always found its parliamentary system confusing. There’s also the problem of European nomenclature regarding the terms “left” and “right,” so let’s start with those.

A new movie opened this past weekend: Reagan , starring Dennis Quaid, Penelope Ann Miller, and Jon Voight. The movie puts a positive spin on Ronald Reagan, so it shouldn't come as a surprise that professional critics have been trashing it. What may surprise the leftists, though, is that, if Rotten Tomatoes is any guide, ordinary Americans love the movie.

Democrats are trying to make a big deal out of the fact that John McCain's son, Jimmy, is now a registered Democrat who endorsed Kamala. This is not a big deal. John McCain loathed Trump and, to hurt Trump, he refused to release Americans from the scourge of Obamacare. McCain's widow took an ambassadorship under Biden. McCain's daughter is an ostensibly conservative commentator whose ideas usually align with the Democrats. Why, then, would it surprise anyone to know that Jimmy hates Trump, too?

This coming weekend, a movie called Nightbitch , starring the popular Amy Adams, opens.

The one thing about bubbles is that they pop. In the weeks since Kamala was anointed, the media enveloped her in bubbles, frothy, joyous bubbles, all of which served to obscure the fact that Kamala is a hardcore leftist, inarticulate without a prompter, tied tightly to one of the least popular presidents ever, and herself the least popular vice president ever. However, it's beginning to look as if these bubbles have peaked and are now popping, with Kamala's numbers returning to reality.

Yesterday, I posited that John McCain's son, Jimmy, had violated the military directive against partisan conduct when he gave an interview to CNN attacking Trump's appearance at Arlington and endorsing Kamala Harris. Today, I feel more strongly that he's violated the military directive. Adding to that, he's also run headlong into the problem of his own father engaging in the same conduct over which he attacks Donald Trump.

When all my conservative friends suddenly start sending me texts and emails telling me that I must watch a video, I take that seriously. That was the case with a video that Tulsi Gabbard published yesterday on X detailing how the Harris-Biden adminis...

As a modern tyrant attains power, he won't just push back against opposing ideas; he'll say they shouldn't be voiced at all. Once he holds some power, he'll work with friends in the government, the media, and corporations to silence opposing ideas. Finally, once he gains complete power, as his ideas invariably fail when put into practice, he must use the government's police power to silence those who challenge him lest he be toppled. That trajectory is why it's noteworthy (in a scary way) that, once in 2019 and again today, Kamala has stated explicitly that she believes that if she controls the government, she has the right to use its vast power to silence critics.

Beginning in 2007, to get Obama into office, the media abandoned objectivity , even while still claiming to be objective.

A new movie about Ronald Reagan—called, simply, Reagan —opened last weekend. The professional critics savaged it, while ordinary Americans loved it . I saw the movie myself, and I'm glad I did.
