December 31, 2020 Ryan Christopher Jones / The New York Times / Redux Those hoping for a quick snapback to sanity for the Republican Party once Donald Trump is no longer president should temper those hopes.   The latest piece of evidence to suggest the enduring power of Trumpian unreality is yesterday’s announcement b...

Patrick J. Buchanan Denouncing the $900 billion COVID-19 relief bill as a parsimonious “disgrace” and hinting at an Alamo-style finish on Jan. 6, when Congress votes to declare Joe Biden the next president, Donald Trump is not going to go quietly. The anti-Trumpers and “Never Trumpers” celebrating at Christmas 2020, in this “dark winter” of Joe Biden’s depiction, are assuring each other that Trumpism and Trump are dead and gone for good in four weeks.

By Patrick J. Buchanan — Barack Obama, as chief law enforcement officer of the United States, is going to have to stop acting like a conscientious objector in this war on cops. On August 2, another officer, in Fox Lake, Illinois, Lt. Charles “GI Joe” Gliniewicz, was gunned down. On August 28, Darren Goforth, a Houston deputy sheriff, was shot 15 times by an alleged black racist.

By Patrick J. Buchanan Accused of being a serial harasser in 2019, Joe Biden did what comes naturally. He apologized for perceived past misbehavior, and, to appease his accusers, pledged to choose a woman for a Biden ticket. Reacting to the racial rage that erupted after the death of George Floyd under the knee of a white Minneapolis cop, Biden reacted again.

Patrick J. Buchanan If America were a company and not a country, we would have long ago dissolved the corporation, split the blanket, and gone our separate ways. What still holds this disputatious and divided people together? Consider. In announcing the $900 billion stimulus bill to deal with the pandemic, Speaker Nancy Pelosi did not mention that the gifts for her distressed countrymen and women at Christmas would have been twice as large had she taken President Trump’s offer of $1.8 trill...

By Patrick J. Buchanan Since the death of George Floyd beneath the knee of a cop in Minneapolis on Memorial Day, the nation has been instructed by its cultural elites that this is the daily reality that a racist America has too long ignored. Our nation, it was shouted in our faces, is a place where white cops harass, brutalize, assault and kill black Americans regularly and with impunity. “Defund the police!” the Black Lives Matter demand went out, to be echoed and re-echoed by BLM’s amen...
