Unlike a prior generation of Dems, today's Democrats are fighting from the lopsidedly losing side of some very basic and straightforward issues.

Cracker Barrel just got a lesson that the Democratic Party also needs to learn.

If Barack Obama or Joe Biden had accomplished what Donald Trump just accomplished, the partisan hacks that populate the legacy media newsrooms would be in full swoon.

Elites in government, almost all Democrats, have committed outrageous acts against the American people and have done so secure in their belief that they would never be punished.

Donald Trump was alone among Republicans with whom official Washington could not abide.

"Russiagate" isn't really about Trump. It's about the fact that with respect to deciding who should be president, a tiny cabal of political elites in very powerful positions arrogated to themselves the presumptive right and power to substitute their judgement ahead of the expressed will of the American people.

The "Art of the Deal" may be more than just a book title.

Cities like Chicago, Portland, Seattle, Baltimore, St. Louis, Detroit, San Francisco, Los Angeles and Philadelphia have been under the total control of Democrats for decades.

It's easy for the chattering classes and agenda-driven politicos to say they have it figured out.
