I understand from the coverage that Minnesota Governor Tim Walz has moved up on the inside rail of Kamala Harris’s veepstakes. He appears to be among the top two, closing in on Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro. Senator Mark Kelly is lagging. Contrary to my impression, it was not a done deal for Shapiro. I would still keep my money on Shapiro — along with the bettors here at PredictIt, who

Readers of Plato’s Republic will remember Socrates’ allegory of the cave in Book VII, but followers of Leo Strauss like to talk sometimes about “the cave beneath the cave,” and then things get really weird. (I know—big surprise.) But I think this cave-in-a-cave analogy may help explain the Democrats’ dilemma and hesitation right now. On further consideration, I think there is one major factor holding back DC Democrats from forcing

New York Post columnist Miranda Devine recalls in her June 12 New York Post column: The last time Joe Biden met Donald Trump on a debate stage, he lied that his son Hunter’s laptop was Russian disinformation, “a Russian plant” and “a bunch of garbage.” Taking account of the evidence introduced in the Hunter Biden gun case, Devine itemizes the ways in which Biden’s laptop has been authenticated. Not a

The terrorist attack in Moscow that killed more than 130 apparently was the work of ISIS-K, one of several ISIS franchises. That is what our intelligence agencies say, and I have no reason to doubt it. The fact that ISIS was able to upload video footage apparently recorded by the terrorists would appear to confirm that ISIS was responsible. The London Times reports: A Russian disinformation campaign is attempting to

Tony Bobulinski testified under oath before the House Oversight Committee yesterday. The Democrats of course sought to turn his appearance into a circus. Tox News captures a few of the highlights/lowlights here. Josh Christenson picks up a strand of Bobulinski’s testimony in the Biden family business newspaper of record here. This is classic. The lady reclaims her time. Heated exchange between Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and Tony Bobulinski. .@RepAOC: "Did

This week’s episode covers more ground more quickly than a Josh Allen or Patrick Mahomes passing attack. Which the Philadephia Eagles won’t get to experience because they flopped in the first round of the playoffs last weekend, falsifying one of John Yoo’s predictions for 2024 that the Eagles would make the Super Bowl. We’re hoping his brief to the Supreme Court in the case of Trump’s place on the Colorado

We were all appalled to hear in June that Hunter Biden had received a sweetheart plea deal from U.S. Attorney David Weiss. Under that agreement, Hunter would plead guilty to two misdemeanor charges of tax evasion and enter into a pretrial diversion agreement on a felony charge of possession of a firearm by a user of illegal drugs. As we know, the deal fell apart in spectacular fashion at the

Greg Pulles was the long-time general counsel and secretary of TCF Financial Corporation (now merged into Huntington Bank). I worked for Greg in the TCF legal department for 12 years and quickly came to respect his knowledge, foresight, and integrity. The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (the OCC) is the principal regulator of national banks such as TCF. In 1999 Greg took me along with him to meet

Ron DeSantis struck a moderate note in his recent comments on the war in Ukraine, drawing criticism from many Republicans. The Wall Street Journal headlines: “Pence and Other Potential GOP 2024 Rivals Pounce on DeSantis Over Ukraine Aid.” Former Vice President Mike Pence, without mentioning Ron DeSantis by name, rebuked the Florida governor Saturday for his isolationist approach to the war in Ukraine. Isolationist approach? Seriously? A sharp divide inside
