It is painful to take issue with my blessed friend Peggy Noonan, and also painful to read both that she has effectively joined the disreputable impeachers of Donald Trump and has invoked a disingenuous argument in support of that position. Writing in the Wall Street Journal on November 2, she asserted that it is clear President Trump used his office to ask the president of Ukraine to destroy Joe Biden politically and that he used U.S. financial assistance to Ukraine as an incentive, and the withholding of it as a threat to incite such activity. And she wrote that the only remaining argument is

Just ask your friends and relatives: "Do you want your tax dollars given to a country that uses it to kick back bribes to U.S. politicians, instead of using it for their defense?"

Well, she's not a friend of mine, and I can say that Ms. Noonan has been gunning for Pres Trump, quite obviously, all along. Her toney NY friends, and the DC cabal as well, have been issuing her their opinions over drinks for at least 3 years now. I can't abide her smug, pious, semi-literate raves. Mr Black overestimates her influence now. Peggy is a back bencher, and that is a source of bitterness and spite for her. It shows.

If Black is so close to Noonan maybe he should give her a call and ask her to embrace rational truth. Give her a chance to air out her thinking aloud to a blessed freind. Like Barr did w Muellhead.

This article is much ado over one person's opinion and Black gives Noonan way too much credibility. She took the easy way out by siding with her liberal friends but if one steps back and uses common sense (a tall order, I know) Donald Trump didn't have to lift a finger to wreck Joe Biden's campaign because Old Gropey Joe was swinging that big steel ball all by himself. Adam Schiff had his impeachment circus all staged up and ready to go and he let it loose on the first event that might qualify as a discrepancy. He chose wrong and now the democrats are biting and scratching at the cage that they have put themselves into. Fear not, Conrad, Noonan will emerge from this error just as she has many others because she will be forever lost in a sea of mediocrity.

Conrad, what you have to look for is the leverage. It doesn't have to be money. It can be loved, but incautious family members. Just as Flynn originally pled guilty to save his son and newborn grandson, so, too might people like Noonan and Napolitano and others might be coerced into spouting propaganda for the Democrats. We already know the FBI and CIA are rufe with their tools, which they used to attack Flynn and can use to attack just about anyone they want, with impunity. You have to be Lily-white and very lucky, or they will track down someone to hold you hostage. Look around Noonan, and other recent reversals of opinion and you may find far more than you bargained for.

Peggy, take the Kelly Ann Conway test and circle your copy of the transcript and show me the bribe, threat, quid quo pro. Biden bragged about sacking a prosecutor and gave Ukraine a 6 hour deadline or else mandate. We have the video. Failing to investigate that would be neglecting his duty. If Trump did as you and so many others say, it was the worst quid pro quo in world history because the other party didn't happen to notice. Stop the gaslighting, I have a somewhat functioning brain, I know when I'm being manipulated.

If Trump had been actually guilty of pressuring the Ukranians to undermine Joe Biden's push for the nomination then it would have been Trump who initiated the publicity regarding his call to the Ukrainian President and any suspicion about the Bidens' fraud and misuse of position. But in fact all of the publicity was started by Dem operatives/media. Trump opened up only afterwards by disclosing the details of the phone call.

I can appreciate that Mr. Black is disappointed with his friend but he needn’t worry. No one cares what Peggy Noonan thinks. She’s made a whole career out of her glory days of being a Reagan speech writer and gets herself invited to the correct cocktail parties. She does not influence voters.

Sounds like my "ignore, always" notation beside Peggy Noonan's name is still valid. TDS is a serious mental disorder which also interferes with hearing and reading comprehension, apparently.

Bloomberg throwing his money-stuffed hat is into the ring could portend his party’s long term demise. Turn up the swamp-draining banjo music to eleven. Had the 2016 primary dominoes fallen differently, and had opaque-eyed James Comey’s FBI not given Hillary Clinton a pass for her crimes, we would have a 2016 Trump blow out of Crazy Bernie already far behind us in the rear view mirror, along with a repudiation of his arterially clogged ideas.

This column about the latest slam-Trump-fest-funeral was written 10.29.2019. I have waited until now to post it, out of semi-respect for the dead. Rev. Hillary went all lapsed-Methodist on us about Elijah Cummings. She eulogized the civil rights hero thus: “Like the prophet, our Elijah could call down fire from heaven…and like that Old Testament prophet, he stood against the corrupt leadership of King Ahab and Queen Jezebel.” The assembled mourners understood her not-so-subtle insult to President and Mrs. Trump and erupted with cheers and applause. Everyone, that is,       Please split wide headlines.

As we reported two days ago, Joe Biden completely made no sense when he was trying to explain the Wuhan coronavirus relief bill. It was really bad and it explains why they’re afraid to have him deliver an address to Congress or do any kind of a real solo press conference, because at this point they have to be afraid this is all going to fall apart if he does anything live and this all becomes too obvious to the American people. But there’s only so long that they can hold this off. And it’s getting worse, as video today revealed. Biden was holding an event to announce the nomination

Democrat Senator Joe Manchin (WV) appears to have started to shift his views on the filibuster with remarks that he made on two news shows on Sunday morning.The shift from Manchin comes after he has repeatedly stated that he would not vote to end the filibuster, despite pressure from the far-Left. During the interviews on Sunday, Manchin repeatedly claimed that he was not open to ending the filibuster because he did not want to strip the minority party of their power in the Senate, but signaled that he was open to changing it.Fox News host Chris Wallace asked Manchin if he would consider “reforming the filibuster” if “Republicans

If you had any doubts that Meghan Markle is a manipulative piece of work, her bombshell Oprah interview Sunday night dumping on the British monarchy would set you straight. Prince Harry’s American wife accused his family of hateful racism against her baby, claimed they refused to protect her and drove her to the point of suicide.She made the incendiary and implausible charge that when she was pregnant with Archie, the royal family decreed that her unborn son would be denied the title of “prince” because her mixed race meant he might have dark skin.

Nancy Pelosi’s top priority is to turn America into a one-party nation ruled by Democrats. Her bill HR 1 trashes the U.S. Constitution in an attempt to rig the system and make it virtually impossible to elect a Republican president or Congress again. It’s a power grab. The bill eviscerates state voting laws and forces all the states to conform to a set of rules that includes automatic voter registration. Anyone who goes to a DMV or applies for food stamps, Medicaid or other social services, or attends a public college will be automatically enrolled to vote. Noncitizens are obligated to identify themselves and opt out,

President Biden on Monday seemed to forget Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin’s name at a White House event—calling the Pentagon chief “the guy who runs that outfit over there.” Biden was announcing the nomination of two female generals to lead US military combatant commands. “And I want to thank the sec—the, the, ah former general. I keep calling him general, but my, my—the guy who runs that outfit over there,” Biden said.(Snip) Earlier at the event, Biden mentioned the Defense Department leader by his name, “Secretary Austin,” while appearing to read from a teleprompter.

The Royal Family was left reeling this morning after Meghan Markle tearfully revealed that the stress of royal life made her suicidal when she was five months pregnant, claimed Archie was denied the title of prince because he is mixed-race and said Kate Middleton made her cry before she married Harry in a bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey.The couple also chose to reveal that they are having a baby girl to the tens of millions of people watching the CBS show broadcast in the US before accusing the Royal Family of racism and revealing the deep rift 'Megxit' has caused with Prince Charles and Prince William.

I’m probably second to none in my dislike for Meghan Markle. There’s something unattractive about a mature woman marrying into the British Royal family with one of the world’s most expensive weddings, hanging out with the Queen, living in insane luxury…and then whining non-stop about the horror of her life. There’s something even less appealing when that woman accuses the Royal family of race hatred. And the problem is that, when it comes to that left-wing diva, Meghan Markle, it’s hard to believe most of what she says. After weeks of hype, CBS finally televised Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s interview with Oprah.

Without question, the vast majority of Americans who support former President Donald Trump were angry and frustrated throughout 2020 passed with barely a mention of then-U.S. Attorney John Durham’s criminal investigation into the FBI’s fraudulent “Russiagate” counterterrorism operation directed at his 2016 campaign.In the weeks before the November election, word got out that then-Attorney General William Barr wasn’t going to announce any indictments or even a report on Durham’s investigation because he did not want to influence the outcome.So far, in fact, the only indictment to come out of the Durham probe is that of former FBI lawyer Kevin Clinesmith, who essentially got a slap on the wrist

Rep. Steve Cohen vowed to renew the push to remove former FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover’s name from the bureau’s downtown Washington headquarters, according to an interview released Monday. Appearing on Yahoo! News’ Skullduggery podcast, the Tennessee Democrat said the effort is getting a fresh look after the release of a new movie highlighting the FBI’s secret program to discredit civil rights activists. The Washington Times in 2019 first reported Democrats’ bid to strip the longtime FBI director’s name from the bureau’s headquarters. Mr. Cohen said the impetus to revive the bid is the new movie, “Judas and the Black Messiah.” The movie details

But somehow we missed it.” Tom Stoppard The millions of Americans who were paying attention throughout the 2020 election campaign all became painfully aware of the fact that Joe Biden’s cognitive abilities were slipping and slipping fast. His wife, as the person closest to him, should have been the one to call the campaign quits in order to reduce stress on the man. Instead, apparently so anxious to become the First Lady by any means necessary, Mrs. Biden continued to push her failing husband’s campaign forward as if he were mentally qualified.
