Politicians are often far better at campaigning than governing. This is especially true for big-city politicians. Kept in office by loyal constituencies, big-city politicians turn to corruption and nepotism just because they can.

It's still over a week before Donald Trump's inauguration, but Richard Cohen at the Washington Post already has a plan to get rid of him. The Post writer clearly believes that Trump — right now — fits the definition found in the 25th Amendment of the Constitution of someone who is "unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office," and could therefore be summarily removed without the effort involved in impeaching and convicting him.

In the aftermath of Donald Trump’s election victory, the left is eating itself.
To be fair, this had already begun before Trump’s election: old-school liberals – Jonathan Chait types who believe in free speech, for example – have been excoriated for their lack of commitment to social justice, while social justice warrior leftists have pioneered new forms of political and social pressure to be applied to all dissenters. But now that process has accelerated.

Clint Eastwood tends to walk on the more conservative/libertarian side of the political road, and famously gave a 2012 RNC speech in which he mocked President Obama as little more than an “empty chair.” Many now believe it is Eastwood’s political inclinations that had one of his (and Meryl Streep’s) most critically-acclaimed films omitted from …

A Chinese professor has been sacked after he criticised Chairman Mao Zedong on his 123rd birthday in an commentary he posted online that enraged leftists. Mao, who died on Sept. 9, 1976, is still officially venerated by the ruling Communist Party as the founder of modern China and his face appears on

All this liberal talk about the press heroically holding presidents accountable is easily undermined by Sunday's edition of The Washington Post Magazine. The Post can't help but declare that they are available for rental (or full ownership) by the Obama White House with a 12-page spread of nostalgic Obama photos....taken by White House staff photographer Pete Souza. The headline was "The Obama Years: during his two terms, the sources of a president's strength were always on display." True. One source of Obama's strength was basically owning The Washington Post. In the very same issue as the 12-page sticky valentine/photo alum from the Obama Fan Club, the Post Magazine ran a 12-page spread by their Trump-investigating reporter David Fahrenthold.

The late-aughts were disastrous for the movie industry, a disaster Hollywood was just starting to recover from when a shrill Meryl Streep came along Sunday night to lie about Donald Trump, and did so in front of the whole world at the Golden Globe Awards. Streep is now the Face of Hollywood, and many of those peer-pressured into applauding and defending her, did so with a sick feeling in their gut: Oh, no, not another decade of this crap.

It’s no secret that many Americans will not be happy on Inauguration Day 2017. On Jan. 21, the day after President-elect Donald Trump is sworn into office, tens of thousands of women plan to descend on Washington to “send a bold message” that (in the words of Hillary Clinton) “women’s rights are human rights.”

During the first day of confirmation hearings Tuesday for Sen. Jeff Session (R-Ala.) as U.S. attorney general, Sessions said he would “respect” and “follow” Roe v. Wade, the U.S. Supreme Court decision legalizing abortion, although he still thinks it’s “one of the worst colossally erroneous Supreme Court decisions of all time.”
