NATIONAL HARBOR, Maryland Watching Vice President J.D. Vance being interviewed on the CPAC stage by Mercedes Mercedes Schlapp yesterday morning, I couldn’t help but be impressed and encouraged. Vance is very, very good as a communicator, in a way that Donald Trump never has been. Certainly, many voters have been drawn into the GOP column […]
CPAC: Too Early to Think About 2026? 20 Feb 5:56 AM (yesterday, 5:56 am)
NATIONAL HARBOR, Maryland So I get on the hotel elevator with a couple, and the guy’s wearing a red shirt emblazoned, “RON ELLER FOR CONGRESS.” Curiosity being a journalistic habit, I ask the guy, “Who’s Ron Eller?” “I’m Ron Eller,” he says, and then proceeds to tell me that he ran for Congress last year […]

Rebecca Francoeur-Breeden is an attorney with the public defender’s office in Allegany County, Maryland, who probably never expected she’d be representing three members of a nationally notorious Radical Vegan Transgender Death Cult, but who can predict such things? So we’re all sitting there in District Court in Cumberland — me and about a half-dozen other […]
