Presidential debates have often been compared to professional wrestling matches, but the ABC News debate between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris more closely resembled a handicap match, with Trump taking on three opponents at once: Harris and both moderators.

As a New Yorker, I wish Democratic state Attorney General Letitia James and Manhattan Judge Arthur Engoron would treat shoplifters, graffiti vandals, and armed robbers with just a puff of the volcanic rage with which they “get Trump.” Former President Donald Trump’s civil fraud indictment, trial, and $354.9 million penalty are an abortion of justice. That massive sum likely violates the U.S. Constitution’s Eighth Amendment requirement…

There are consequences to virtually every mainstream media, office-holding Democrat, and left-wing academic labeling former President Donald Trump a Nazi, a fascist, a white supremacist, and a mortal threat to American democracy. One consequence is that more than a few people will want Trump dead—killed, if necessary; who would not want such an individual dead? Here is…
