Vice President Kamala Harris is finishing up a fairy-tale campaign. Unfortunately for her, the story is "The Emperor's New Clothes."

You're likely familiar with Hans Christian Andersen's classic tale. A king is obsessed with his clothes. Two con men convince him that they can weave an outfit with a special property: The garments are invisible...Read more

LATROBE, Pennsylvania -- "If we win Pennsylvania, we win the whole damn thing."

It seems that as more and more time goes by, my appreciation for the ingeniousness of our Founding Fathers elevates.

I write this before knowing the outcome of the election. I sit behind a "veil of ignorance," with no advance knowledge of who will win the popular vote and who will win in the Electoral College.

We have a growing movement to ...Read more

Opinions are like an appendix: everyone has one, it serves no particular purpose, most of the time it’s completely ignored and you only notice it when it’s removed.

This is exactly what occurred to me when I observed the manufactured controversy involving Jeff Bezos and The Washington Post editorial board. The Amazon wunderkind’s ...Read more

WASHINGTON -- Over the many years when I wrote a column for the San Francisco Chronicle, political insiders had their eye on one local official who, they figured, could be president someday. That person was Gavin Newsom.

It was not Kamala Harris.

Because Newsom, San Francisco's former mayor, had his eye on the governor's mansion, Harris ...Read more

The presidential race is essentially tied, so if there's a small polling error here or there, the media could easily emerge victorious.

The press has been such an active participant in the Trump-Harris race that it will be a significant defeat for it if Trump prevails and a marked victory if he comes up short.

"It's The Sun Wot Won It" was ...Read more

Every four years, we hear a refrain that the presidential election before us is the "most important election of our lifetimes." This line is reflexively repeated by pundits, talkers and thinkers on both sides of the American political divide, and that repetition always engenders a great deal of backlash. We are reliably informed that our ...Read more

If Robert F. Kennedy Jr. had been born with a different name, he'd probably be peddling miracle mushroom cancer cures on YouTube right now.

Instead, our french fry-slinging presidential hopeful Donald Trump has, according to RFK, "promised" to give him "control" of all Washington public health agencies, "which is, you know, key to making ...Read more

On Sunday, a comedian opening the Trump rally at Madison Square Garden made a joke about Puerto Rico being a garbage island. On Monday, that was all the American press corps could talk about. On Tuesday, President Joe Biden declared former President Donald Trump's supporters were garbage, and all the media could talk about on Wednesday was ...Read more

The Left has a tendency to grade the media's performance based on results. It doesn't matter if you favor the Democrats aggressively if they don't win -- or if the polls seem tied.

Recently, Washington Post columnist Eugene Robinson was celebrated on "Morning Joe" for writing a column that complained the media was rougher on Vice President ...Read more

"The only garbage I see out there is his supporters," said President Joe Biden on Tuesday evening, referencing a comedian's comment at former President Donald Trump's Madison Square Garden rally, as Vice President Kamala Harris delivered on the Ellipse, visible from the White House windows, what her campaign has described as her "closing ...Read more

SAN DIEGO -- You know how they say that teachers make the worst students?

A similar contradiction is at work with newspaper editorial boards.

I'm quite familiar with the species. Over the course of a decade, I worked as an editorial writer and columnist for newspapers in two states -- one blue, one red. In all, I wrote more than 1500 ...Read more

My family and friends are angry with me because I won't tell them for whom I plan to vote for president.

I have not voted for the Republican or Democrat for president since 1984, when I happily voted for Ronald Reagan. Since those days, the Democrats have gravitated to principles of big government that would make FDR blush, and the Republicans ...Read more

What is most important about Nov. 5?
