    Some of Trump’s candidates are struggling in primaries

    25 Mar 2022

    Running for governor as a disciple of Donald Trump, Janice McGeachin has done almost everything short of surgically attach herself to the former president. It’s not just that Trump is omnipresent in her advertising, or that McGeachin mimics his

    How Trump ignored advisers, spread election lies

    21 Dec 2022

    The executive summary of the House Jan. 6 committee’s report documents how former President Donald Trump was repeatedly warned by those closest to him — Cabinet members, campaign officials and even family members — that claims he had lost his reelection due to fraud were false. But Trump spread those lies anyway.

    Biden is fulfilling his own campaign promises

    18 Dec 2022

    Donald Trump pledged to fix US infrastructure as president. He vowed to take on China and bulk up American manufacturing. He said he would reduce the budget deficit and make the wealthy pay their fair share of taxes. Yet after two years as president, it’s Joe Biden who is acting on those promises. He jokes that he’s created an “infrastructure

    My big prediction about US politics came true

    11 Dec 2022

    Senator Raphael Warnock’s victory in Georgia officially bookended perhaps the most topsy-turvy midterm election cycle of my lifetime. The day afterward, I did a little obligatory gloating, tweeting about how I predicted the final results of his race against Herschel Walker to an accuracy of less than a point.

    The US Chamber of Commerce, the largest and most influential business lobby in Washington, can’t even get a meeting with the Republican expected to be the next speaker of the House.

    Georgia runoff to settle last Senate seat

    06 Dec 2022

    Georgia voters on Tuesday are set to decide the final Senate contest in the country, choosing between Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock and Republican football legend Herschel Walker after a four-week runoff blitz that has drawn a flood of outside spending to an increasingly personal fight.

    Is Joe Biden contesting again? He is acting like it

    06 Dec 2022

    Whether Joe Biden will seek a second term is the biggest secret in Washington. Only the man himself increasingly doesn’t seem to be hiding the answer. A long distance day trip Tuesday to Arizona is only the latest indication that at 80, Biden is seriously laying the ground to stay in power for another term — until he’s 86. He’

    Another Trump term would be too much to bear

    25 Dec 2022

    2022 has been an “annus horribilis” for the world. The phrase, meaning a horrible year,” gained currency 30 years ago when Britain’s Queen Elizabeth II employed the term to describe her year of constant family ructions culminating in the fire at historic Winsor Castle. In 2022 the planet has continued to suffer from man-made

    Trump’s hold on Republicans has weakened

    25 Dec 2022

    The January 6 House of Representatives Committee led by the Democrats which investigated the mob in Washington that attacked the Capitol, which housed the House of Representatives and the Senate, to pressurise then Vice President Mike Spence not to sign the certification that showed Joe Biden as the winner came to the predictable

    Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger put patriotism over politics

    23 Dec 2022

    “Thank you for your service.” Most Americans use the phrase when they see a member of the military at the airport or in the supermarket.
