Debate Recap: Harris Played the Tune and Trump Danced To It
Vice President Kamala Harris and Donald Trump took to the stage last night for their first and possibly only debate. It wasn’t pretty.

The Party of the Middle
Vice President Kamala Harris’s shift to the political middle is a de facto admission that the American electorate is not progressive.
Russian Interference Is Back
If I was still a part of the Republican media complex, I’d be feeling pretty uneasy in the wake of the Tenet indictments.
A Cautionary Tale
It’s a fair question with an easy answer: Republicans don’t want to ban abortion. It would be political suicide.
Kamala’s Taxing Policies
While I don’t like either candidate’s tax policy, one option is clearly worse for most Americans and more likely to take effect.
The Swing State Shift
As I’ve pointed out in the past, your vote for president doesn’t really matter unless you live in a swing state. The Electoral College system means that if your state is reliably blue or...
The DNC Republicans
A large share of the people who worked alongside Donald Trump have either said he is unfit or are refusing to endorse his campaign.
Conservatives for Kamala
I think David French is at least partly wrong here. I don’t think voting for Harris will move the GOP back in a conservative direction.
Clues To A New Election Scheme?
The new rule in Georgia, passed less than 90 days before the election, does not give them much time to learn either.
Signs of the Times?
Harris’s crowds are real, but I’d caution Democrats the same way I responded to Trump supporters: Rallies are not an indication of votes.
Walz-ing Towards Election Day
Radical socialist? Responsible for riots? Stolen Valor? Transgender issues? Here are some of the criticisms that I am hearing about Tim Walz
The Swooning Stock Market and the Election
If the economy slows as we move toward Election Day, the question will be whether voters fear a recession more than they dislike Donald Trump.
The Race Is On, And It’s Getting Weird
Although a lot of normal Americans support Donald Trump, “weird” really is a good descriptor for a large segment of MAGA, beginning with their leader.
Be Excellent To Each Other
While I don’t want to write about the Olympic opening brouhaha, I think that there is something that needs to be said on the topic.
Kamala’s Veepstakes
The vice presidential pick likely isn’t a dealbreaker for Democratic progressives or Never Trumpers, but could affect fence sitters
The Next Candidate To Be Dumped?
Trump and the GOP may not be thrilled with JD Vance, but they are stuck with him. And if Trump loses again, Vance will be a convenient scapegoat.
Living in Interesting Times
I think the move to nudge Biden aside is a good one and interesting from a historical perspective. It will probably be a trivia question
Tipping Over
I don’t fully understand why I should be expected to tip for services that have never received tips before.
What is Project 2025? And Should We Be Worried About It?
It can be difficult to wade through the technocratic jargon, but there is enough disturbing content that Project 2025 should be scrutinized even more closely.
It’s Time For Biden To Be A Statesman
The Biden White House’s decision to conceal the president’s condition played a significant role in putting him in this awkward position.
