Yes, Virginia, there is a political realignment going on. But it is not the one you think it is. Or the one the stupid media keeps telling you it is.

It is worth noting that previously there have been three (3) votes by the full House on impeaching President Trump. Each failed miserably, losing lopsided and bipartisan votes.

Is there anything these people won’t shamelessly exploit in pursuit of political power? Literally nothing.

The Washington Nationals are in the World Series for the first time, setting up a historic opportunity to heal our senselessly divided political system in the nation’s capital

As the Caribbean saying goes, “I chucked a rock in the pen and a pig squealed.”

The biggest cover-ups are usually the ones right in front of us — as they say, “hiding in plain sight.”

Message to the Swamp: American voters still are supposed to be in charge.

Why is it always foreigners who manage to unite all the politicians from both parties in Washington?
Illegal aliens — I mean “Dreamers.” Haitian boat people. Olde Europeans. Sudanese. And now the Kurds. It is never support for regular Americans that brings politicians from both parties together.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has valiantly fought the war on crazy long enough. She tried her best to be the sane, adult centrist in her party — no easy task for a lifelong politician from San Francisco.

To crash the gates of Washington, Donald Trump had to radically upend the way the game of politics is played. He had to start by changing the language.

For three years now, Democrats have threatened to impeach President Trump for not taking seriously enough the efforts by foreign governments to meddle in our 2016 elections.

The swamp is bottomless. Truly undrainable.

Confirmed Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh has become a sex symbol.

The story is as old as politics and sports.

President Trump defeated establishment Republicans and destroyed the Democrats. He has slain swamp kings along the banks of the Potomac. He stood up to Chinese President Xi Jinping, stiffed the mullahs of Iran and walked away from North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un. And he utterly humiliated the Great Political Pundits of 2016.

It really takes uncommon depravity for someone to use a tragedy such as a shooting to score political points. It is a level of disregard for human life that the vast majority of decent people in America cannot comprehend.

Former Vice President Joseph R. Biden is hopping around Iowa these days on one foot — the other being permanently lodged in his mouth. Poor guy can’t get through a speech without slandering someone, slurring a people or simply saying something incredibly stupid.

It is true. President Trump really is the least racist person in the world. Just ask him. “I am the least racist person there is anywhere in the world,” he said this week.

Robert Mueller is a very impressive man. Until he opens his mouth. Sure, it was a rough day for Mr. Mueller. But lucky for him, he was only up against members of Congress.

He wasn’t on Twitter. Wes Pruden was the last of a now-dead breed. His devotion was entirely to the unvarnished truth. Unvarnished by gauzy praise. Especially unvarnished by the political speech codes that have strangled this country to a croaking whisper.

IN FLIGHT OVER THE PACIFIC — Say whatever else you want about President Trump’s relentless tornado diplomacy aimed at North Korea; it is at least original. 

OSAKA, Japan — America was stumped.

KABUL — In a secret visit to Afghanistan Tuesday, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo underscored the administration’s commitment to peace and rebuked Iran for it’s “destabilizing” influence here and around the world.

JEDDAH, Saudi Arabia — Just when you were wondering whether Washington, D.C., is still the dumbest place on earth, along comes Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer.

President Trump’s ability to capture the attention of his enemies remains as powerful as ever.

SOUTH OF THE BORDER, S.C.

Democrats running for president have taken a shockingly sensible position on the most deeply divisive issue in American politics for the past half-century.

These sure are boom times for the psychiatry industry.

SEOUL — Here in this ancient city, political leaders must grapple with a lot of sobering matters.

SEOUL — It is always funny what passes as principled “purity” in Washington.
