Rewriting 250 years of history.

Menendez: At the same time, they try to banish the memory of January 6th from our collective memory, refusing to put up a plaque to honor law enforcement officers who defended them from actual domestic terrorists in this very building.

Happy 2026. The nation’s 250th birthday… Time to kick those who’ve abandoned the American experiment to the curb….

I am shocked —shocked!

Kim Jong Trump strikes again.

A slightly revised cover (which I love) and a new endorsement for my next book. “Conspirator in Chief is a fascinating deep dive into the history of conspiracy theories promulgated by US presidents. Knott shows how they have been weaponized by presidents going back to Andrew Jackson, and along the

Narcissist-in-Chief

A truly disturbed individual.

It’s Gore-Tex.

Of course. A cheerleading, whitewashed version of American history is central to Trumpism and to the Claremont/Hillsdale cultists.

Kristi Noem: "Sir, you made it through hurricane season without a hurricane. You kept the hurricanes away. We appreciate that."

Juvenile and pathetic doesn’t even begin to sum up this walking national embarrassment.

A terrific book that furthers the ongoing reevaluation of U.S. Grant’s presidency. Devotees of "The Lost Cause" will find this painful reading, as the sadism of the Confederate soldiers who joined the Klan by the thousands was off the charts...

Spoke yesterday to an American Presidency class at Millikin University on 'The Lost Soul of the American Presidency.' With thanks to Prof. Dan Monroe and a great group of students.

In the woods behind my house…. Never seen such vivid red color.

Every day brings a new assault on the conscience.

The Oval Office in all its craptacular beauty.

Only someone completely unschooled in the fundamentals of republican government would view this as a legitimate question.

Two leaders contemptuous of the principles animating this document soiling it by their very presence.

Terrific endorsement from @radiofreetom.bsky.social Coming next Spring. "Steve Knott has both a magisterial knowledge of the U.S. presidency and a deep loyalty to truly American ideals. Both of these virtues shine from every page of this book,

Some thoughts of mine on a founding father who warned repeatedly of the dangers presented by demagogues who appeal to the worst in human nature. Trump's rise to power and the authoritarian character of his presidency would come as no surprise to Hamilton. constitutioncenter.org/news-debate/...

I had the privilege of being interviewed by Jeffrey Rosen, President and CEO of the National Constitution Center. Our discussion focused on Alexander Hamilton -- this is a portion of the interview. youtube.com/shorts/RO6Ed...

Yes, you too can date a member of a cult that worships an utterly repugnant human being. Irresistible. www.washingtonpost.com/style/power/...

Dereliction of duty on the part of the White House Historical Association. Taking photos and grabbing relics as the East Wing is destroyed — instead of speaking up when it mattered.

This comes as a surprise because he’s always shown such an appreciation for history.
