Donald may not be old enough to be president

ALAN KEYES — In my column for the Daily Caller this week, I write about the significance of the lewd remarks Donald Trump made boasting about how his "star power" lets him have his way with women, invasively groping their private parts without their consent. Quick to apprehend the politically costly impression this particular brand of sexual prowess might have on Trump's candidacy, his defenders conjure up a change of venue. They push the line that his remarks were just "locker room talk."... (more)

SLATE — There seems to be little question that Hillary Clinton is on top, but two new polls out Sunday have very different numbers about how big her advantage is in the final weeks of the presidential campaign.

Petraeus, titled "America's Awesome Military," the authors continue to promote political correctness and the Obama administration's propaganda that "the United States has the best military in the world today, and have few, if any weaknesses." They go on to argue that "no radical changes or major buildups are needed."... (more)

ANDREW C. MCCARTHY — With due respect, the estimable Charles Krauthammer is way off base in his weekly column, addressing Donald Trump's "threat, if elected, to put Hillary Clinton in jail."
