Trump, the affordability scam, and the truth that we buy too much junk

Progressives ignored high prices for years, mocked those who worried about inflation, and for decades have waged a war on consumerism, but suddenly, we’re supposed to believe the American Dream is measured in cheap plastic dolls. Over the past several weeks, President Donald Trump has been heavily criticized from the left and some on the… Continue reading Trump, the affordability scam, and the truth that we buy too much junk

Reminder: Progressives hate Sydney Sweeney simply because she appeared in a clothing ad and all they have is hate for any disagreement, real or even perceived

While Ms. Sweeney might be an unlikely avatar for our increasingly illiberal and insane times, an avatar of the left’s hate and endless outrage, she certainly is.  Indeed, the absurdity of the whole situation only helps illustrate the point. Last week, Sydney Sweeney made news once again when detractors objected to her choice of clothing… Continue reading Reminder: Progressives hate Sydney Sweeney simply because she appeared in a clothing ad and all they have is hate for any disagreement, real or even perceived

The ChatGPT Resistance is a danger to the country, from the cartel boat strikes to Venezuela, outrage isn’t enough

A functioning republic requires real opposition, asking real questions and demanding real answers.  Outrage on its own, recycled forever, in the same form as if it was spat out of a computer, is a threat to the future. At this point, we know the cycle better than we’d like.  In what we can only call… Continue reading The ChatGPT Resistance is a danger to the country, from the cartel boat strikes to Venezuela, outrage isn’t enough

Trey Anastasio is the greatest musician of his generation and it’s not even close

While the Phish guitarist, singer, and songwriter is far from a household name, he certainly should be.  Over the course of three shows in barely six months with three completely different configurations, he belted out fifty eight songs or more than six full albums of material.  I’ve been fortunate enough to see Trey Anastasio three… Continue reading Trey Anastasio is the greatest musician of his generation and it’s not even close

Celebrating 1,000 posts with a few near incoherent thoughts on the past, present, and future

Benjamin Franklin famously or infamously said that the country was a Republic, if you can keep it.  To liken great things to small, this is a blog if I can keep it up, but isn’t that true of everything in life?  When I started this blog in November 2020, it wasn’t clear to me how… Continue reading Celebrating 1,000 posts with a few near incoherent thoughts on the past, present, and future

The Orange Man Bad Theory of Everything

As a general rule, at least some policies are going to have a neutral impact if only because they are ineffective, not everything is going to be illegal or unconstitutional, and the worst possible political and other outcome isn’t going to happen in every situation.  While it’s traditional for the opposition party to oppose, I… Continue reading The Orange Man Bad Theory of Everything

Democrats can’t handle the truth on illegal orders

“If you look at popular culture, like, you watch, you know, A Few Good Men, like we have plenty of examples since World War II, in Vietnam, where people were told to follow illegal orders, and they did it, and they were prosecuted for it,” Senator Elissa Slotkin thinks she’s Tom Cruise confronting Jack Nicholson.… Continue reading Democrats can’t handle the truth on illegal orders

I am a Thanksgiving turkey and I live to die for your holiday meal

Chickens?  Pigs?  Cows?  They get slaughtered all year for any old meal, but not me.  I’m special and I serve a higher purpose, so forget the various controversies surrounding the holiday over the centuries and belly up to the table. I am a Thanksgiving turkey.  You might find me roasted, smoked, or fried at the… Continue reading I am a Thanksgiving turkey and I live to die for your holiday meal

Disgusting: The media is happy to undermine US foreign policy if they believe it hurts Trump

Rather than ask a substantiative question about the future of the Middle East and the world, the media preferred to focus on an eight year old murder and invoke 9-11 to embarrass the President and the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia in person. Last week, President Donald Trump welcomed Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman… Continue reading Disgusting: The media is happy to undermine US foreign policy if they believe it hurts Trump

Is there any peak to Democrat delusions or can the insanity increase forever?

The real Epstein question is whether these increasingly extreme delusions – and, yes, anyone who thinks an already well covered “scandal” regarding a person that’s been dead for almost six years will take down a sitting President is deluded – will ever end.  Sadly, there is no evidence that’s the case.  In the world of… Continue reading Is there any peak to Democrat delusions or can the insanity increase forever?
