MSNBC’s Jen Psaki gushed over the Democratic National Convention on Sunday and argued that the United States was much more “aligned” with the Democratic Party and that the Republican National Convention only represented a “narrow sliver” of the country. “Well, that was one hell of a Democratic convention.

Less than 24 hours after President Joe Biden announced his decision to drop out of the upcoming presidential election, Vice President and now-Democratic nominee, Kamala Harris, couldn’t wait to talk about abortion. Using euphemisms like “reproductive freedom” and touting the same old “bodily autonomy” rhetoric, Harris’ message is nothing new. It’s one she’s been sending...
One day, airports will figure out a civilized method for catching an Uber after your flight, but that day was not last Sunday at O’Hare as a maelstrom of confused travelers stared into an endless stream of gray Toyota Camrys.

Vice President Kamala Harris and the Democrats had a successful convention this week in Chicago. At every juncture, they sought to rebut the attacks from their opponents. The Harris-Walz team argued over and over, and particularly effectively, I thought, in the vice president’s Thursday night speech, that they were for national unity, against ideology, for...
