From Jonathan Turley. For many liberal groups, Ketanji Brown Jackson is a supreme “deliverable” by President Biden. Activist groups have pushed her nomination to the Supreme Court while opposing the consideration of fellow short-lister District Judge J. Michelle Childs. These groups clearly did not like Childs and her more moderate take on legal issues. Yet the interesting question…

One way to view the war in the Ukraine is through the lens of time. Vladimir Putin may no longer be president after 2024. While Putin has previously played all sorts of convoluted shenanigans that allowed him to run things in whichever office he held, this time around it may be for real. Or as…

When America was attacked on September 11th, Saturday Night Live responded by having Rudy Giuliani come out, give a little talk and then on with the show. And that was an act of war against our own country which killed thousands of our own people. Since then Saturday Night Live has moved on from comedy…

“He’s a brave man, he’s hanging in,” Trump said of Zelensky in remarks at the annual Conservative Political Action Conference, even as he declined to back away from complimenting Putin as “smart.” “The problem is not that Putin is smart, which, of course, he’s smart,” Trump said. “The problem is that our leaders are dumb……

Can you save the soul of a nation when you have no soul of your own? But give Biden some credit, he’s recognized that he can’t possibly run on the economy or on pandemic management, oh that’s left is empty virtue signaling about souls honor and decency from a man with no soul no honor…

Russia’s military is numerically powerful and historically weak. The Russians have lost far more wars than they’ve won including against opponents like the Japanese in the Russo-Japanese war where they should have been able to easily triumph in terms of sheer technological prowess alone. World War II, the war that most people think of Russia…

The Supreme Court nomination gave Biden a pretty clear choice, he could reward Rep. Jim Clyburn, the politician who mobilized the black voters that won him the nomination, and therefore help put him in the White House, or he could reward the Left. Clyburn lobbied for Judge Michelle Childs. Manchin and a few Republicans got…
