Bill Whittle Now analyzes the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats offered by the Democratic presidential candidates now locked in a 3-way tie for second place (first in the hearts of their Democratic countrymen). Senators Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, and former Vice President Joe Biden, each come to the challenge of winning the Democratic presidential nomination with different advantages and handicaps.
President Trump comes under fire for saying, “In my opinion, you vote for a Democrat, you’re being very disloyal to Jewish people, and you’re being very disloyal to Israel.” Did Trump’s effort to attack Rep. Rashida Tlaib and Rep. Ilhan Omar conjure an anti-Semitic trope and poison his efforts to win Jews to the Republican Party? How have Republicans failed to attract a group of voters who should love the party’s view of Israel?
The NY Times’ accurate headline about a President Trump speech angers readers — some of whom cancel subscriptions — and sparks an emergency meeting where the executive editor calls the headline “an f-ing mess.” What fueled this outrage and chaos?
A manifesto posted by the El Paso shooter echoes “invasion” rhetoric used by conservative media figures like Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh, Tucker Carlson, Pat Buchanan, Laura Ingraham and other FoxNews commentators — as well as by President Trump — to refer to illegal immigration.
Profusely sweating, pacing, pointing, bragging and shouting to reporters over the motors of Marine One, Donald Trump presents a vision of a president unlike any in recent memory. In an age of video, President Trump’s appearance and approach convey messages beyond words. Bill Whittle analyzes the showmanship and stagecraft of this unique president.
About 300 backers of President Trump rally in West Baltimore to clean up a neighborhood in Rep. Elijah Cummings’ “disgusting, rat and rodent-infested mess” of a district, as Trump called it recently. Does this random act of kindness provide a template for civic action by conservatives everywhere?
In the wake of mass shootings in El Paso, TX, and Dayton, OH, President Trump’s remarks focus on racism, hatred, video games, and red flag laws — but he didn’t push new gun control laws. Are there any actions government can take in any area to reduce the frequency of these horrific slaughters? Bill Whittle talks about how we can stop this apparent epidemic.
Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren on the far, far left, against the rest of the field on the merely far left: How can the Democratic Party ever pull together to defeat President Trump when they can’t even agree on their ideology? Can Betsy Warren’s attacks on multinational corporations endear her to the Trump base who oppose globalism?
While drunkblogging the Democratic presidential debates this week, Stephen Green suffered a haunting flash-forward: “What if one of these jokers wins?” Not content to replay this endlessly inside his own private Hell, Steve puts the question to Bill Whittle and Scott Ott…and you! How much of the Constitution will survive inside the Democrat presidential blast radius? Does America need to elect a hard socialist to innoculate itself against the disease forever?
The Trump administration’s new regulations, separating abortion from women’s health services, has triggered at least two major abortion providers to reject federal funds rather than comply. Is Trump’s legal-procedural approach — rather than moralistic preaching — succeeded where previous conservative efforts have failed? Will individual Progressive Americans step up to fill the funding gap so the abortion clinics can keep on carving?
President Trump effectively ends asylum for migrants traveling through Mexico to get to the U.S.. These pass-though migrants must, instead, now seek asylum in the first safe country they enter. In effect, Trump builds a wall made of Mexico. Have we given up on the idea of the U.S. as refuge for the world’s beleaguered masses?
The Jeffrey Epstein sex trafficking case claims a Trump team scalp as Labor chief Alex Acosta resigns. He still defends his actions a decade ago in a secret deal that many view as a slap on the wrist for Epstein. Should Trump have fought for him or fired him?
Jeffrey Epstein has evaded justice with a relative slap on the wrist for a decade, until his recent arrest. Will his victims finally get justice now that his power to a make a deal with prosecutors is gone.
Bill Whittle can’t understand the Constitutional problem with asking a citizenship question on the decennial census, since the entire purpose of the census is to determine Congressional apportionment, and only citizens can vote…so far. Progressives and Democrats say that legal immigrants will avoid answering the census if it might jeopardize the ability of their illegal friends and family to stay in the United States.
