Trump said a number of things tonight that mortified me – and I vehemently disagree with him on a lot of issues. But I also vigorously oppose the media’s campaign to coronate Hillary and to portray her as Joan of Arc. Below – my running commentary on tonight’s debate – – Were those outraged by […]

Bombing Libya vs. the Beefy Beauty Queen
The media is far more upset about Trump’s comments about a 1996 beefy beauty contestant than about Hillary Clinton’s carnage in Libya, Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Afghanistan, and other places.

MP3: Thumping Nitwit Protectionist Politicians on KMOX
KMOX host Mark Reardon and I had fun today discussing my USA Today article on Trump, Oreos, and our insane protectionist sugar regime. I appreciated the opportunity to flog Congress on the air in St. Louis. Mark has some of the best bumper music I’ve heard in a long time with nitwit sound bites from both […]
