Likening Trump, Other Republicans to Hitler: The First and Last Refuge of Democratic Scoundrels
Top Democrats and Trumpophobes scream that former President Donald Trump is Adolf Hitler’s fascist twin. English translation: Trump is a Republican. John Kelly, Trump’s disgruntled former chief of staff, said last week that Trump matches “the general definition of fascist” and “certainly prefers the dictator approach to government.” Relying, as usual, on anonymous sources, The Atlantic’s fabulist-in-chief, Jeffrey Goldberg, “reported” that Trump said… -

What Does It Mean to Be ‘Woke’?
“Woke.” You keep using that word, but I don’t think it means what you think it means.

We Need a Congress That Will Stop Borrowing Money
With the Nov. 5 election approaching, much attention is focused on the presidential contest—but at least as significant are the contests that will determine who controls Congress.
