Arthur Schaper The reports are trickling onto the blogosphere. We should expect “full Trump” in 2018. Great to hear it. I have contended with left-leaning elements in Southern California who have routinely taunted me about one or two slip-ups throughout the year. “You guys are losing! You guys are losing.” Really? Republicans have 26 trifectas,

Daniel Greenfield, It’s not the end of free speech, it’s just the end of speech that is free. We spent the second half of the last century in a long war with a bunch of leftists who wore funny clothes and shouted a jargon of incomprehensible slogans. These days you can only find them in
John Moody, Ever tried dealing with a playground bully? What shuts him (or her, for our politically correct readers) up fastest? A bloody nose. Bullies operate on the assumption that they are safe from retribution. When they find out that’s not true, they curdle like spoiled milk. Until then, their conduct can only spiral further
