Let them eat joy

One narrative holds that Vice President Kamala Harris has created the most joyous, transcendent election campaign since President Barack Obama in less than three weeks.  Another is that she has done absolutely nothing except garner larger crowds, read someone else’s scripts, and pose for the cameras.  Like magic, the media has settled on a new… Continue reading Let them eat joy

Reminder: America still needs a real President for the next five months

President Joe Biden waiting on the tarmac for three Americans to arrive from Russia as part of the largest prisoner exchange since the Cold War, flanked by his completely incoherent Vice President, now newly crowned Democrat Presidential Candidate, serves as a timely metaphor, but the truth is far worse and likely to be far more… Continue reading Reminder: America still needs a real President for the next five months

Trump, the black vote, and what can only be described as balls of steel

If you believe our obsession with racial identity is a threat to the future, a poison in our discourse, and a majority of Americans are increasingly tired of being labeled purely by ethnicity, you need to confront the issue head on, especially when your opponent is exploiting the accidents of her race for political gain.… Continue reading Trump, the black vote, and what can only be described as balls of steel

JD Vance, Cat Ladies, and an Anatomy of a Fake Scandal

Everyone had a “cat lady” on their block as a child.  The house you crept past for fear of getting yelled at for no reason, the one you’d dread should a stray ball land on her lawn, the door you ran from should it open.  No one, and I mean no one wanted that person… Continue reading JD Vance, Cat Ladies, and an Anatomy of a Fake Scandal

Only Hollywood could make Napoleon a boring, lovesick mope rather than one of the most dynamic and engaging personalities in world history

Rather than the fearless, master horseman who led charges, the film depicts a far more reserved and fearful man.  Rather than the dynamic, workaholic it shows us a moribund, borderline depressive.  Rather than anything resembling the whirlwind of actions and contradictions the real man must’ve been, we are left with only with a poor, bittersweet… Continue reading Only Hollywood could make Napoleon a boring, lovesick mope rather than one of the most dynamic and engaging personalities in world history

Trump is the first presidential candidate in history to beat his opponent months before the vote

President Biden acted on his own and displayed a unique selflessness, serving the nation rather than his personal interests, or at least that’s the approved narrative, but a narrative is simply a story we lay over underlying facts to make sense of disparate events. As the “official” narrative would have it, President Joe Biden selflessly… Continue reading Trump is the first presidential candidate in history to beat his opponent months before the vote

Kamala Harris, Dave Matthews, and the truth about our binary choice in Gaza

Rather than believing this is an existential conflict that requires a clear winner on either side, she claimed it is not, in fact, a “binary” issue.  The thousands of protesters in DC a day earlier, including musician Dave Matthews, would beg to disagree. Last week, Vice President Kamala Harris addressed the ongoing war in Gaza… Continue reading Kamala Harris, Dave Matthews, and the truth about our binary choice in Gaza

The batshit crazy coronation of Kamala Harris is history repeating itself as farce

Everyone knows Vice President Harris is awful.  It’s why talk about whether President Biden should withdraw from the race included an aside about what to do with her.  Is it possible she could be passed over somehow?  Instead, she had to be completely remade, downright deified, the same way Biden was before her.  As I… Continue reading The batshit crazy coronation of Kamala Harris is history repeating itself as farce

Trump and the convention speech only he could give

Like a kaleidoscope that is constantly shifting, you see everything if you are a fan and nothing if you are a foe.  To say he did it his way, is an underestimate for the ages.  It’s better to say, he did it the only way he knows how, and perhaps the way no one else… Continue reading Trump and the convention speech only he could give

When did so many progressives become trained seals clapping for their masters?

Doublethink is to be expected for those in positions of power, but to the average person, who had been supporting President Biden this entire time and who’d believed what they’d been told, it should have been a shocking revelation that they had been mislead, especially as they watched it collapse in real time.  To me… Continue reading When did so many progressives become trained seals clapping for their masters?
