I guess it’s no surprise that Cleveland needs to spend some money on crowd control for the July 18-21, 2016 Republican National Convention. Cleveland is seeking to buy 2,000 sets of riot gear, including riot-control suits and collapsible batons, as…

Robert Kagan Comes Out for Hillary
Somewhere in my archives, I say that the neoconservatives will come back to the Democratic Party they left in the early seventies if Rand Paul wins the Republican nomination. Turns out, that’s true about Donald Trump, too.
