Some of the outgoing President’s supporters have already taken to calling the various Covid vaccines the “Trump Vaccine”, so happy are they to associate his name with success. In fact, here’s White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany calling it that, just yesterday: "It's the Trump vaccine" pic.twitter.com/MTFff7sQfk — Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) December 2, 2020 Regardless […]
There was no accountability in media circles when Libya was destroyed by the Obama-Biden-Clinton axis, so we can’t expect they’ll suddenly bring that inconvenient reality to our attention during the current fanfare.
Nothing congeals in Ireland quite so quickly as conventional wisdom, and in the days since Joe Biden was declared President Elect by the US media, the conventional wisdom in Ireland has hardened like concrete: He’s going to shaft the British on Brexit and plant his flag firmly in the old sod of Ballina – take […]
Joe Biden has overtaken President Donald Trump in Pennsylvania and Georgia today, coming ever closer to securing his route to winning the electoral college.
Last night, President Trump took to the podium at the White House to claim that the US Election was being stolen from him by voter fraud in several key states. Online, several theories have been floating around as to how this theft might be happening. It is worth, therefore, looking at the evidence for each […]
After four long years in office, each day of which brought some new dramatic declaration of a crisis from the self-styled resistance, Donald Trump went before the American people on Tuesday night and won – at the time of writing – four million more votes than he had in 2016.

Joe Biden announced his candidacy for President on April 25th, 2019. Tonight, voters will render a judgement both on him, and on the incumbent President, Donald […]
Living in Ireland is unusual when following US politics. Our national broadcaster and every national publication is sympathetic towards the Democratic Party and it’s rare if ever you hear a flattering opinion of the Republican Party and especially not of the current President of the United States, Donald Trump. I’m not going to come at […]
Give a lot of credit to the University of Southern California: It’s not often you see a major public polling outfit release a lengthy analysis of why its opinion polls might be wrong, but they’ve just done exactly that. For background, USC has been doing a daily tracking poll of the American Presidential Election. So […]
One of the derailing issues for Hillary Clinton in the 2016 presidential campaign was the diplomatically sensitive correspondence she sent from her personal account while Secretary of State. But there were also other emails brought to light allegedly by Russian hackers. This became an attack point for Democrats against Trump and drew the media’s focus […]
I’ve seen some strange things during elections but this American Presidential contest surely trumps all, pardon the terrible pun. At 1am Irish time, a joint news conference was held by the Director of National intelligence, John Ratcliffe and FBI Director Chris Wray. A few hours later as people here slumbered and Americans on the east coast prepared […]
