I remember reading the columns and editorials of several conservative and Republican pundits who were hoping that Trump would lose in 2020.

In An Effort to Be “Diverse” the President Keeps Nominating Monsters to the Federal Bench
Joe Biden’s knack for picking judicial nominees seems to be less about their qualifications and more about ticking diversity checkboxes – even if it means overlooking glaring issues. Democrat nominees to the bench give a pass to perpetrators of child sexual abuse. Take Judge Julia Lipez, for instance. According to PJ Media, Lipez, recently nominated…

Tolerance Is a Polite Way of Saying, ‘I’m Ok That People Will Spend Eternity in Hell’
As a minister, I am “duty-bound” to accurately present the content of the Bible. A true call from God will result in a desire to help people understand Scripture and apply it to their lives.

https://www.city-journal.org/article/anti-semitism-and-the-french-elections When President Emmanuel Macron called for a new election in the National Assembly—a first round June 30 and a second and final round July 7—no one thought that anti-Semitism would become a central subject of political debate.

Heather Mac Donald Poetic Justice Ancient philosophers and tragedians would have understood the human folly—from the media, the president, and his party—that led to last week’s debate debacle.
https://www.city-journal.org/article/the-trump-biden-debate-disaster A day before Thursday’s presidential debate, the New York Times ran a front-page story in its print edition railing against the posting of unflattering videos of Joe Biden.

A robust SCOTUS decision on presidential immunity Where does President Trump’s behavior fit on the schema laid out by the Court? That’s for the DC district court to consider Roger Kimball
https://thespectator.com/topic/scotus-robust-decision-presidential-immunity/ All is unfolding as I have foreseen. Yesterday, reviewing last week’s Supreme Court decisions and indulging in a little well-earned Schadenfreude over Thursday’s scenes from the geriatric dementia ward, I noted that what SCOTUS would probably issue its final opinion of the season, on the question of presidential immunity. So it turned out to be. This morning, “Trump…
