From the “pot calling kettle black” files

Mark Levin, former rational human and Reaganite, has used his X account to promote a post claiming that “Nick Shirley says he has proof” that Marjorie Taylor Greene was “bribed” to turn against Donald Trump. I don’t know who Nick Shirley is, and I don’t know why Marjorie Taylor Greene really turned against Trump. But I do know that Mark Levin, who used...

Two Sad Jokes

Headline I just read, from Real Clear Politics: Mark Levin: Bannon, Tucker Carlson, and Megyn Kelly have contributed nothing to conservatism or the country. Of course I will not read, and do not recommend, the accompanying article, apparently a transcript from an episode of the money- and audience-grubbing Levin’s Trump sycophant jamboree hilariously called “Liberty’s Voice.” But I will merely point out, for...

What Took Them So Long?

A few random thoughts (not all of them mine) regarding the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision to strike down Donald Trump’s global reign of economic terror by means of his “signature policy initiative,” namely his tariffs-by-mood-ring-and-mean-girl-whim fanaticism. First, from former Republican congressman Justin Amash on X: I’m not sure there’s ever been a president more distant from the ideals of the Founders of the...

Random Reflections In Vertigo

Sleep tight.– All this, so that seventy million frightened children may dream unto their graves, and finally unto their own private parcel of hell, in the warm cocoon of the most shameful mass delusion in world history. If their idol dies first, what will they do? I almost typed “frightened American children,” but decided not to sully the memory of a great country...

Proving My Point, Sadly

Very early in 2016, when I stepped into the midst of the rapidly evolving Trump cult at American Thinker (where I had been a successful and popular contributor for several years) to deliver my first few missives on the folly and danger of supporting an ignorant vainglorious self-promoting sociopath in the Republican presidential primaries — I know, when you state it directly this...

Principles and Their Consequences, Political Entertainment Edition

Whatever it might once have been, or may someday be, at this moment Fox News — that media entity as a whole, as may be judged, with total fairness, by its most popular and unfettered content — is essentially a fount of quasi-Soviet propaganda served with neo-Nazi overtones. It is an apologist for genocidal terrorism, a willing mouthpiece for messaging framed by the...

Public Advocacy and Hypocrisy

I saw a headline from Fox News (where else?) declaring that Mark Levin — former “conservative radio firebrand,” now Republican establishment populist for cash — has said that Joe Biden is the closest thing to a dictator that America has ever had. That’s rich, coming from a man who, just five years ago, publicly sold his soul and his former Tea Party audience...

Mark Levin

Has ever a man built a more solid reputation as a principled non-conformist within an environment dominated by opportunistic conformism, only to demolish that reputation in order to sell himself as spare parts, in a shorter span of time? Has ever a man been more rhetorically effective at publicly attacking false declarations of “conservatism,” only to turn around and become the biggest abuser...

Hot Takes on Senate Impeachment Vote: Part 1

Mitt Romney has voted to remove Donald Trump from office, which is consistent with his earlier vote to call more witnesses. This shows that the earlier vote was not just a butt-covering show-vote, but that he sincerely disapproved of the GOP establishment’s circling of the wagons for Trump. Here is radio host and complete and utter sell-out Mark Levin — establishment bootlicker extraordinaire...

Oh my G-D!

Perhaps I should say, “Oy vey!” Mark Levin, who, as I have sadly chronicled, has transformed himself from the most prominent media critic of Donald Trump (and of the GOP establishment, including its media flagship, Fox News) into the most embarrassingly eager shoeshine boy for Trump (and defender of the GOP status quo, and star host on its media flagship, Fox News), has...
