The reason even Special Counsel Jack Smith acknowledged at least some of the former President’s actions were official is because elections are essentially political and it has been a democratic norm since the dawn of the Republic that political actions are not criminal. The Supreme Court, fortunately, seems to realize this and is likely to… Continue reading The media is shocked to discover that the Supreme Court cares about more than Donald Trump

Everyone knows the economy sucks except Joe Biden and the media, part two
Last week’s dismal GDP growth number occurs as President Biden ends the use of the term “Bidenomics,” not because his policies don’t work, but because you are too dumb to understand them. Last week’s dismal GDP growth number will prove to be the last gasp of “Bidenomics,” a word that will live in political infamy… Continue reading Everyone knows the economy sucks except Joe Biden and the media, part two
Occupied Academia: Today’s wanna-be activists have a lot to learn about the 1960s and should have a lot more respect for their fellow students
It is no exaggeration to say that if one of these wanna-be protesters was transported back in time, they would run screaming for the present in less than five minutes, seeking whatever safe space they could find because there were none back then. As anti-Israel if not outright antisemitic protests sweep major college campuses, the… Continue reading Occupied Academia: Today’s wanna-be activists have a lot to learn about the 1960s and should have a lot more respect for their fellow students
Donald Trump, Teddy Roosevelt, a President on trial, and the American obsession with sick bastards
Roosevelt has little in common with Trump on the surface, save for being born wealthy in New York City and having significant careers outside of politics, but both men inspired over the top passion and both spent a lot of time in court after their Presidencies. On New Year’s Day 2016, I joined my wife… Continue reading Donald Trump, Teddy Roosevelt, a President on trial, and the American obsession with sick bastards
Springsteen in Albany and “The Promised Land”
Surrounded by tens of thousands of fans, many of whom know the lyrics by heart, the promised land is then and there. As Springsteen belts out the lyrics - even as he approaches the fifteen hundredth time – the moment we are seeking is right now. “The Promised Land” has never been one of Bruce… Continue reading Springsteen in Albany and “The Promised Land”
Biden’s foreign policy, just when you thought it couldn’t get any worse
Iran and Israel have crossed two previous red lines in less than seven days by launching direct attacks at each other for the first time, even after President Biden issued his infamous “don’t.” Somehow, this is being positioned as a victory for diplomacy. Decades from now, assuming humanity survives that long, there is little doubt… Continue reading Biden’s foreign policy, just when you thought it couldn’t get any worse
Shakespeare’s most underrated character and speech, perhaps
Jaques, As You Like It’s “melancholy fellow,” is not likely to appear on any list of Shakespeare’s greatest characters, nor is his speech on the nature of his melancholy, but we see in him a sort of proto-Hamlet without the need to wound, opinion unrestrained, as he fancies himself said, claims it is better to… Continue reading Shakespeare’s most underrated character and speech, perhaps
About that “stubbornly high” inflation
The experts shouldn’t be surprised that inflation doesn’t fall in a straight line in a relatively short period as they’ve been claiming. The historical record over the past 800 years is clear: Inflation can take decades, as in tens of years, to revert to the norm. Wall Street was stunned last week because inflation remains… Continue reading About that “stubbornly high” inflation
NPR, the corrupt media, and why Trump needs to win
A senior editor at NPR reveals how the media outlet intentionally distorted or outright spiked three major stories in recent years, and how the newsroom has been transformed into a progressive advocacy group, aligned against Donald Trump, and willing to lie to get what they want. Earlier this week, National Public Radio’s senior business editor… Continue reading NPR, the corrupt media, and why Trump needs to win
Republicans are stuck on abortion stupid and need some combination of Donald Trump and common sense to save them
They have no plan except to continue showcasing their anti-abortion bonafides and continue handing the Democrats a potent political issue that is already said to have limited their success in 2022 and might well doom them again in 2024. Republicans spent almost fifty years attempting to overturn the Supreme Court’s Roe v. Wade decision that… Continue reading Republicans are stuck on abortion stupid and need some combination of Donald Trump and common sense to save them
