I’m in the camp that believes that the presidential election is Donald Trump’s to win or lose. It’s a simple calculus: The undemocratically nominated Kamala Harris (how many Democrats voted for her and how many primary elections did she win?)...

A Leander bridal shop recently closed because of missing rent payments.

At least four people were arrested near the Israeli consulate, across town from where Democrats were hearing from the former President and first lady.

At long last, we get some quality Pure Evil time. The Bandits take a ride on a giant’s island hat, straight over to PE’s “Fortress of Darkness.” The big fellow is a friendly sort and “[likes] to help people." Once on land, the gang makes their way through rocks and lava only to be met with a seemingly impregnable rock wall. Impenetrable, that is, until a cave appears and one of the demons emerges. “Oh no.

CHICAGO— Second gentleman Doug Emhoff pulled back the curtain on his blended family with Vice President Kamala Harris in a Tuesday speech to the Democratic National Convention, praising his wife to chants of “Doug, Doug” from the United Center crowd. “She finds joy in pursuing justice, she stands up to bullies just like my parents...

People on the far left tend to overstate the extent to which all of the world’s problems are caused by nefarious US policies. On the other hand, I suspect that average Americans have no idea as to the extent to which the US bullies smaller nations.
