As in life, in politics you should be careful what you ask for.

Tom Coburn was the last honest man in Washington.

Whatever you think about President Trump and his response to this global pandemic that sparked from a Chinese “wet market” selling wildlife, you cannot exactly be heartened to behold the response offered by Democrats.

Every pandemic has a silver lining. In this one, we have finally determined without any doubt that regular White House press briefings no longer serve any useful purpose and should never be resumed.

To paraphrase a former White House chief of staff, “Never let a pandemic go to waste.”

The Democrats’ nomination horror flick “Weekend at Bernie’s” has turned into an even dumber horror movie: “Grumpy Old Men.”

“Hot takes” in politics are a little like armpit noises. Anybody can make them and nobody wants to hear somebody else’s.

Presidential candidates won the past three elections by promising to end the longest war in American history. Only President Trump has taken concrete efforts to make good on that promise.

As the circus turns for South Carolina, every last adult in the Democrat Party has apparently left the parade.

In the land of political toadstools, former New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg is a giant. Even without a box to stand on behind the debate podium.

NEW YORK CITY — Is it possible that President Trump has already beaten Sen. Bernard Sanders?

BEDFORD, New Hampshire — Democratic pols and media gasbags — not to repeat myself — have finally found somebody they hate nearly as much as they hate President Trump: Bernie Sanders.

MANCHESTER, N.H. — The most basic rule of bear hunting is: “If you are going to shoot a bear, don’t miss.” Or, as Ralph Waldo Emerson put it, “When you strike at a king, you must kill him.”

John Bolton. Joe Biden. Lev Parnas. Rudy Giuliani. The Ukrainians. President Trump. Vladimir Putin. Adam Schiff. The Whistleblower

The world on edge. A pandemic threatens from across the globe. The stock market nosedives and wipes out the year’s gains in one day.

Well, there goes Spartacus. Slain by a fellow warrior supposedly fighting for the same side.

President Trump did not get elected to spark a war with Iran.

BOCA GRANDE, Florida — Every generation has them: the snake-oil charlatans who stir their witches’ brew of lies and cats’ tales and shuffle their decks of grimy tarot cards portending your doom — your certain doom! — if you don’t pay them a handsome price for the antidote to cure you.

It’s official. Black Lives really don’t Matter. At least not inside the Democratic Party.

Amid all the impeachment hysteria and sleight of hand, here is your guide to what actually happened in Congress this week.

At some point, you start to wonder if just maybe the system isn’t rigged against us.

“Facts really do matter.”

— Former FBI Director James B. Comey, April 26, 2018

When President Trump first blew the whistle — in a now-famous 2017 tweet that misspelled the word “tapp” — on the previous administration’s spying operation against his presidential campaign at the height of the election, Swamp creatures laughed. They ridiculed. They mocked.

Never in the history of public schooling has a regiment of substitute teachers been so disappointed in their rowdy new pupils as the impeachment professors were Wednesday.

Who said Joe Biden can’t woo the youth vote?
There he is, standing behind a little girl, rubbing her shoulders. A little too long.

Another straight-forward liar is Sen. Elizabeth Warren, whose smug fake populism and screechy white privilege make her a perfect candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination.

Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, thank you for your service. Now, please remove your Army Service Uniform.

Washington, this is why America hates you.

Michael Bloomberg? Seriously? For President?

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.
