Like millions of other Americans, I tuned in to round one of the Presidential Debates moderated by Fox’s Chris Wallace. It was unlike any other presidential debate I have ever seen—and I have watched every presidential debate since the JFK vs. Nixon debate in 1960 when I was just a …
For the past three and a half years I, along with millions of other Americans, have watched the mainstream news media essentially self-destruct in their obsession to remove Donald Trump from the White House. I saw glimmers of this kind of mania when George W. Bush was president from 2000 …
Today, I am reprinting a column by J. B. Shurk who raises the question of whether or not Joe Biden will survive his first debate with Donald Trump. It’s a valid inquiry, given Biden’s bumbling, stumbling, grumbling answers to the pre-approved whiffle-ball questions a compliant press has lobbed at him …
I saw the exchange Newt Gingrich refers to in his commentary below. It was a stunning display of censorship. Gingrich, the former House Speaker, joined a group of panelists on Harris Faulkner’s show Outnumbered last week and was asked his opinion on violence and unrest afflicting major American cities. He …
The other day I was thinking about some of the most interesting people I met and worked with during a 27-year-career as a reporter and foreign correspondent with the Chicago Tribune. One of the first names that popped into my head was Anne Keegan, a one-of-a-kind reporter, and columnist for …
I was going to comment on this issue and then I saw Victor Davis Hanson’s commentary on Rip McIntosh’s blog and decided he said it all splendidly. This is a commentary rife with logic, which of course, is exactly what the BLM and Antifa thugs have no grasp of as …
I really enjoyed this perceptive piece on “gaslighting,” by Rip McIntosh and I wanted to share it with ForeignCorrespondent followers. Rip refers to the 1930 play, Gas Light, as the source of the term “gaslighting.” But my introduction to gaslighting came from the 1944 film “Gaslight” starring Charles Boyer, Ingrid …
A few weeks ago President Trump ordered the removal of about 12,000 American troops from Germany, leaving about 24,000 still on the ground there. About half of the troops being withdrawn will return to the U.S. The rest will be redeployed to other NATO member nations such as Belgium, Italy, …
I posted the following commentary in 2018 when the Chicago Tribune moved out of Tribune Tower and into the One Prudential Plaza building a few blocks south of the Chicago River. I wasn’t there for the move, but it was nevertheless dispiriting and disheartening for me because in that building …
Today, I am reposting a commentary from my cousin, Steve Baldwin, a former California state assemblyman and former executive director of the Council for National Policy and Young Americans for Freedom. His commentary is a powerful indictment of the Biden-Harris presidential ticket. Please read on. You won’t be disappointed. By Steve …
