The world’s only one man media empire
The debt ceiling debate takes a strange turn after President Biden demands something of a duel among budgets without realizing that his own $6.9 trillion monstrosity, which would more than double the entire budget of just six years ago, is why the debt ceiling exists in the first place. Earlier this week, the Republican Speaker… Continue reading Biden’s budget is why the debt ceiling exists in the first place
The former President earned the ire of both progressives and moderate conservatives for stating the obvious that his indictment on seven-year old charges would cause “potential death & destruction,” but pointing out the truth should never be out of bounds, nor has it ever been in our history. Last week, former President Donald Trump earned… Continue reading Donald Trump and the ever present specter of political violence
Progressives have convinced themselves that the specter of racism and white supremacy is critical to achieving their longstanding goal of increased government power, and therefore they need to find racism everywhere, even in the air itself. Sometimes, it never ceases to amaze how rapid and coordinated the progressive push to proclaim everything is racist, or… Continue reading No, pollution isn’t racist and it’s hard to believe one even needs to say it
In the eyes of radical transgender activists, women can no longer declare themselves women, and everyone needs to accept that men who say they are women are women, but it’s hard to imagine anyone truly believes this, anymore than the demonstrators in 1984 believed Big Brother had increased their chocolate rations. “It appeared that there… Continue reading Transgender and chocolate rations
The former President remains the top choice of Republican voters, especially among voters of color, despite threats of indictments and something of an establishment conservative rally around Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, complete with a rewriting of coronavirus history. The race will come down to these two men and where it ends nobody knows… After Republicans… Continue reading The State of Trump and the Republican Race
The Iraq War was by any definition a failure at all its stated goals, costing far more in blood, treasure, and time than expected, empowering our enemies, and failing to build a stable democracy and long term ally in a worn torn region, but there are some who still insist we should do it all… Continue reading Iraq: Anyone who doesn’t regret supporting the war is delusional, stupid, or lying
Once upon a time, the language of climate science – emissions, greenhouse gasses, melting ice caps, carbon taxes, cap and trade, and more – was all politically neutral, if occasionally sensational, but suddenly it’s downright socialist, dominated by the progressive cliches of the day from climate equity to climate justice. I’ll admit it up front: … Continue reading We are running out of time to save the planet, but climate scientists have somehow found the time to go woke
Being a fictionalized account of a future where nothing grows for over twenty years and humanity, or at least the less than five percent that survived, subsists on manufactured foods in a secure colony at an undisclosed location. It was mid-May, but nothing grew. The grass outside Otto’s kitchen window was as dreary, desiccated, and… Continue reading A world without spring
Continually escalating encounters with the United States military while the war in Ukraine rages on is not the strategy of a country on the verge of accepting defeat, but even a cursory understanding of history should not make that surprising. A successful foreign policy requires a recognition of reality sorely lacking on all sides of… Continue reading Russia isn’t intimidated by either President Biden or the broader free world
President Biden and the mainstream media can trumpet the supposed success of our intense diplomacy all they like, but Russia remains in Ukraine and has no plans to end the war anytime soon. Teddy Roosevelt forged a different, far more successful path in his first showdown with a foreign power, preferring secret talks to public… Continue reading In Ukraine and elsewhere, our enemies perceive only failure and the lessons of Teddy Roosevelt’s big stick diplomacy
