Welcome to Heartland Diary USA, the new website of Montana author Frank Miele, the former editor of The Daily Inter Lake. Frank’s weekly column on national politics is now published on Mondays at realclearpolitics.com and will also be linked here. “After 14 years of writing my Editor’s 2 Cents column for the Daily Inter Lake
Another day, another story at Real Clear Investigations popping holes in the sad, pathetic, gossamer-thin Mueller Report. Today, Eric Felten exposes the straws of supposition that are the flimsy foundation on which Mueller and his team of Democrats built their house of cards. It’s never been any secret that most of Mueller’s evidence of “obstruction”
I found a story this morning at Real Clear Investigations that appeared to be the smoking gun that proved James Comey was at the center of conspiracy (coup?) against President Trump. Because I had to go to my part-time job, I wasn’t able to write about Paul Sperry’s brilliant piece of reporting until now. In
We are just a week away from the next Democrat debates — this time in Detroit. Is there any chance that CNN won’t pander to the black audience there by asking a question about slavery reparations? Of course, the candidates won’t need any help pandering. My column at Real Clear Politics this week explains just
Fox News used to brand itself as “fair and balanced.” Nowadays that is as laughable as CNN calling itself “the most trusted name in news.” President Trump called out the weekend anchors on Fox a few weeks ago for their blatantly anti-conservative schtick, which is virtually indistinguishable from the Fake News bias on CNN and
After watching the first of the Sunday morning shows, I have to hand it to President Trump. With his denunciation of the Four Congresswomen of the Democratic Apocalypse, the President has somehow managed to turn the entire Democrat Party into the seven little anti-American dwarves. Like the 16 Republicans he vanquished in 2015-1016, they still
In most things, I have no use for the New York Times, but on Election Night 2016, the Times was the only place I could go for hope. While the TV pundits were gleefully predicting a Hillary Clinton victory, the Times was cautiously ticking its prediction needle surprisingly close to an even race. The exit
Say what you will about Twitter’s faults, which are many (Where is @realJamesWoods?), but one of the great things about the platform is that you can be reaffirmed instantly that you are not alone if you love America! This is especially important for conservatives, who are told by mainstream media 24/7 that they are racist,
The era of the kinder, gentler Planned Parenthood is over. If you blinked, you missed it. On Tuesday, we found out that Leana Wen was forced out as president of the “abortion rights” lobbying giant just eight months after taking over. It seems that she had been determined to de-emphasize lobbying and re-emphasize what the
Two columns from opposite ends of the political spectrum today show that President Trump is close to accomplishing the greatest one-man war of liberation in history since Simon Bolivar threw off the chains in South America. From the right, we get Conrad Black’s essay at the National Review titled “The Trump Steamroller.” From the left
Leave it to a John Nolte at Breitbart to come up with the perfect way to frame President Trump’s feud with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and her fellow radical Democrats. In his column today, he wrote “Trump’s bold truth-telling about ‘The Squad” makes free speech great again.” You know the back story. President Trump tweeted that the
