Happy 80th birthday, Dementia Joe Biden. It’s been said – not often, but sometimes – that 80 is the new 60. But for the nation’s oldest (by far) president, 80 is the new 150. Biden is 80 going on… take away the car keys and lock him up in the memory-wing of the local assisted living facility. Let’s consider Biden’s recent comments. As always, all dialogue guaranteed verbatim. One of Dementia Joe’s perennial targets is big business, or as he put it, the “55 largest, of the 55, 55 of the largest corporations.” And what exactly did they do, Brandon?...

Do you have the right stuff to become Boston’s next police commissioner? Step one: Pick up the phone and dial area code 202. That’s Washington, of course. But then you weren’t seriously expecting that anyone from area code 617 was going to be involved in anything … Boston, now were you? Mayor Michelle Wu, originally from the 312 area code (Chicago), has farmed out the nationwide search for a new PC police commissioner to what appears to be a Washington think tank. According to the city (of Boston, not Washington or Chicago or San Francisco, where the mayor’s new chief...

Putin’s price hikes! Putin’s price hikes! Putin’s price hikes! No matter how many times Dementia Joe Biden and his caregivers at the White House try to blame out-of-control inflation on the bogeyman du jour, not even low-info Democrat voters seem to be buying into this week’s Big Lie from Deep State media. It’s all on Brandon, these “extraordinarily elevated” increases in the consumer price index, as Jen Psaki, his fork-tongued flack with the gasoline-colored hair, put it on Monday. Tuesday’s headline: “Inflation surges 8.5% in March, hitting a new 40-year high.” Let’s go Brandon! I have a weekly segment on...

I got an email this week from a former bow-tied bum kisser at the Globe about a book he’s writing on Fat Boy — the late Sen. Ted Kennedy. “My editors have asked me, in this Me Too era, to make sure that I have done a thorough search for incidents in which Sen. Kennedy’s behavior caused injury or harm to women.” Wow. Talk about an open-ended order. The hagiographer, er biographer, mentioned that the usual incidents — Chappaquiddick, Palm Beach, La Brasserie — will “of course” rate chapters in his tome. Of course they will. “I am writing to...

Jailhouse letters from the late Boston gangster highlight his will to live despite deteriorating health including eight heart attacks. The letters provided to The Boston Globe by a California woman he corresponded with appear to contradict federal officials who have said Bulger’s health had dramatically improved, making him eligible for a transfer to a West Virginia prison where he was killed. Bulger was 89 when he was fatally beaten last October ... This is a story about Whitey Bulger and the FBI that you’ve never heard, and it would be even more humorous if it didn’t illustrate yet again how...

When Sidney Powell spoke to conservative radio host Howie Carr on Nov. 20, she included Serbia among four countries she accused of interfering with the Nov. 3 Presidential election. Four days earlier, a former member of Serbia's parliament published stunning evidence to support Powell's assertion. Srjdan Nogo not only showed how Serbia manipulated vote totals. He exposed the connections between the highest officials in the Serbian government, Serbian leaders in technology and telecommunications, George Soros, former Vice President Joe Biden, the CIA and other government agencies in the United States. Among the figures Nogo mentions in his articles for the...

As much as they hate to admit it now, national Democrats were against illegal immigration before they were for it. All quotes guaranteed verbatim: Barack Obama, 2005: “We simply cannot allow people to pour into the U.S. undocumented, undetected, unchecked, circumventing the people who are waiting patiently, diligently, lawfully to become immigrants in this country.” Hillary Clinton, 2014: “I voted numerous times when I was a senator to spend money to build a barrier to try to prevent illegal immigrants from coming in and I do think you have to control your borders.” Sen. Chuck Schumer, 2009: “People who enter...

Meet the new Mittens, same as the old Mittens. He’s either at your feet or at your throat, as Clemenceau once said of Germany. Always willing to stab another Republican in the back, even more eager to genuflect in front of whatever loathsome hack Democrat will be only too ready to double-cross Willard when the moment arrives, as it invariably does. Willard Mitt Romney — The Washington Post’s latest anti-Trump bloviator shares the same first name as the most famous rat in Hollywood history. Coincidence? At age 71, about to be sworn in today as the junior senator from his...

Try to restrain your excitement — Hillary Clinton, John Kerry and John Kasich are all writing books. Think how many trees are going to die for … what? And then there’s the carbon footprint. All those trucks taking all those thousands of books to warehouses and stores, then picking them up after they don’t sell and taking them to some place to be pulped — at which point maybe they can at least be recycled into something more useful, like toilet paper. Let’s start with Kerry’s proposed book. It’s going to be his “first memoir,” which you could take as...

US Senator Kelly Ayotte conceded to her Democratic challenger on Wednesday, making her the third Republican to lose a Senate race in a battleground state after refusing to endorse Donald Trump. Ayotte's defeat to Governor Maggie Hassan in New Hampshire means another pick-up for the Democrats in the battle for control of the Senate.

Who would have ever dreamed that the pope would win a primary for Donald Trump — in South Carolina, of all places, the buckle of the Bible Belt. Sure, Trump was probably going to prevail tomorrow anyway. But it’s over now, thanks to Pope Francis and his sanctimonious, tone-deaf statement that “a person who thinks only about building walls, wherever they may be, and not building bridges, is not Christian.” Related Articles Pope Francis flap could boost Donald Trump in South Donald Trump blames Mexican gov’t for Pope Francis’ remarks Bernie Sanders goes on the defense while Hillary Clinton goes...

Savor the moment, Ted Cruz and Hillary Clinton, because this morning the presidential campaign doesn’t just enter a new time zone, it enters a whole new world. Welcome to New Hampshire. Enjoy your victories in last nights caucuses, because its going to be a little different a week from tonight. Bernie Sanders wins for sure, and as for Donald Trump, how did he describe New Hampshire last night? I think were going to be proclaiming victory,” he said, sounding subdued for once. I hope.

Sunday, March 15, 2015 By: Howie Carr John Ellis Bush, go home. Take your 
$100 million campaign kitty and slink back 
to your country clubs, your yachts, your gated communities, your Chambers of Commerce and your polo matches. You are not going to be elected president. You are not even going to win the Republican nomination. And you are most certainly not going to win the New Hampshire Republican primary. John Ellis Bush — I refuse to call him “Jeb” because that’s a good old boy’s name, and John Ellis Bush is the furthest thing in the world from a...

Maine Governor Paul LePage called Howie to celebrate his re-election to the corner office and what was in store for Maine.

Massachusetts Republican gubernatorial candidate called FOX 25 political ace Sharman Sacchetti a “sweetheart” and all hell has broken loose. President Obama has made the same gaffe twice and yet he was not accused of waging a war on women. Howie asked was it really that big a deal.

You’re Johnny Pockets Tierney, and the good news is you’ll never have to set foot in Lynn again. Finally, we have an answer to the age-old question: Just how corrupt does a politician have to be for the voters to throw him out of office in Massachusetts? You’re John Tierney, and the Democratic voters kicked you down the stairs like you were Peter Torkildsen, or Nicky Pockets Mavroules, or Mike Harrington, who was a rogue before it was vogue. Come to think of it, this is the way congressmen from the 6th District always go out, with a toe tag...

ABC's Michele McPhee was with us to talk about the two fireman killed in a conflagration caused by two illegal alien workers illegaly welding in Back Bay. Have charges been brought against them you might ask? Not at present time because they have disappeared... (SNIP)

Despite presenting a cozy public image, Republicans Scott Brown and Sen. Kelly Ayotte (R-N.H.) are once again at odds over key issues, as Brown campaigns to unseat Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.). Ayotte, who officiated at the wedding of Brown's daughter on Sunday, got to know Brown when he served as a Massachusetts senator before losing his seat to Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.). He has since relocated to New Hampshire to challenge Shaheen. Ayotte endorsed Brown, but by attacking Shaheen's positions on immigration and veterans' affairs he is effectively disparaging Ayotte's record as well.

Like most of the rest of the United States, Massachusetts is fast becoming a banana republic — minus the bananas. Tomorrow, we’ll find out just how far gone the state is, when Judge David Ricciardone in Worcester hands down his sentence on an illegal alien drunken driver from Ecuador charged with murder in the death of a taxpaying American citizen in Milford in 2011. The fact that it took almost three years to get this illegal — I mean, undocumented Democrat — to trial just goes to show the double standard of “justice” in the People’s Republic.
