More Testing, which is a good thing (we have the most in the world), equals more Cases, which is Fake News Gold. They use Cases to demean the incredible job being done by the great men & women of the U.S. fighting the China Plague!

Here is Kurt Schlichter's latest column.

After reading Michael Cohen’s column “It was all a lie” (Ideas, Aug. 2), about the recent book of the same name authored by former Republican political consultant Stuart Stevens, I am reminded of the saying, “I was a Republican until they lost their minds.” For me that was a long time ago. To quote the party’s 1968 campaign slogan, “Nixon’s the one!”

Growing up in mid-century New England, I revered such Republican senators as Leverett Saltonstall, Margaret Chase Smith, and my Vermont’s own George Aiken. But a few years later, as a college student who had come to question, and then oppose, the Vietnam War, I found myself increasingly demonized and driven away from the party—a process that only accelerated a couple of years later after I came out as gay.

In short, the Republicans under Trump have completed their years-long transfor­mation into a party of Ayn Randian ideologues, racists, and tin-pot moralists who fail to practice what they preach.

Today’s Republican Party is irredeemable damaged goods. If this country is to have a conservative party, someone will have to start one under a new name. The scarlet letter “R” is radioactive.

Note from KBJ: You were never a Republican, John, so stop saying you were. You've always been a country-club liberal.

We have narrowed the Presidential Nomination Acceptance Speech, to be delivered on the final night of the Convention (Thursday), to two locations – The Great Battlefield of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, and the White House, Washington, D.C. We will announce the decision soon!
