KNAPP: America doesn’t have presidential debates, but it should

On August 6, the Commission on Presidential Debates denied US President Donald Trump’s request to increase the number of debates between himself and Democratic nominee Joe Biden from three to four. Trump’s case: The expansion of voting by mail means that many ballots will have been cast before the first scheduled fake debate on September 29. The CPD’s response: “[T]he debate schedule has been and will be highly publicized. Any voter who wishes to watch one or more debates before […]

KNAPP: The “election interference” fearmongers think you’re stupid

Xi Jinping and Ali Khamenei prefer Joe Biden to Donald Trump. Vladimir Putin prefers Donald Trump to Joe Biden. That’s according to William Evanina, director of the US National Counterintelligence and Security Center. “Many foreign actors,” he says, “have a preference for who wins the election, which they express through a range of overt and private statements; covert influence efforts are rarer.” I don’t have the words to express how un-surprised I am to learn that foreign governments take an […]

KNAPP: Biden vs. Trump is an echo chamber, not a choice

“Democracy,” H.L. Mencken wrote, “is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard.” Mencken’s assessment is philosophically dismissive of democracy as a theory of government. It’s snobbishly contemptuous of Joe Six-Pack’s qualifications for self-government of the democratic type. And it’s as accurate a summary as I’ve come across of how the political establishment — especially “major party” presidential candidates and their campaign minders — view the American electorate. It’s fair to […]

Appeals court rejects Stormy Daniels’ libel suit against Trump

SAN FRANCISCO (UPI) -- A federal appeals court has rejected adult film star Stormy Daniels defamation suit against President Donald Trump. The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed Friday the lower court's decision from October 2018 to dismiss the case. U.S. District Judge S. James Otero had ruled that Trump's tweet at the center of the case was "rhetorical hyperbole" protected by the First Amendment instead of the defamation alleged. Daniels, born Stephanie Clifford, alleged that she was threatened […]

KNAPP: Executive orders – this is the brain of Trump on drugs

On July 24, US President Donald Trump signed four executive orders with an eye toward altering the way prescription drugs are priced and purchased in the United States. Three of the four orders embody good ideas that accord with the goals of think tanks supposedly supporting “free-market policy solutions” to America’s healthcare problems. Sally Pipes, president of one such think tank (the Pacific Research Institute), writes in opposition to those three orders, and in support of the fourth, anti-free-market order, […]
