Republican candidates are clueless about how to take down Trump, but they might not have to

The Republican race takes shape as candidates emerge and take aim at the former President, albeit not very effectively in my opinion.  The government, however, also has its sights set on Trump with fresh indictments at the Federal level that might upend the Presidency entirely. The big news today is former President Trump’s second round… Continue reading Republican candidates are clueless about how to take down Trump, but they might not have to

Woke will get worse before it gets better

A college student receives a failing grade for using the word “biological women,” a high school student is banned from graduation and loses his job for saying “guys are guys,” and yet it’s the LBGT community that claims they’re in a “state of emergency.” While conservatives have been busy celebrating the success of boycotts against… Continue reading Woke will get worse before it gets better

Biden’s big fall makes a mockery of us all

President Biden takes a tumble, the media claims he “appeared” to trip and acted like he sprung up faster than a prime Jean-Claude Van Damme, while The New York Times informs us his age is “complicated.” Conservatives had a good laugh last week when President Joe Biden took a tumble at the Air Force Academy… Continue reading Biden’s big fall makes a mockery of us all

Debt ceiling winners, losers, and random thoughts on our fiscal future

No one should be under the illusion the debt ceiling deal does anything except increase spending.  Even if Congress follows the terms of the bill, spending will continue to grow every year and total debt will continue to increase with no viable prospect to achieve anything near a balanced budget.  Last week, the Great Debt… Continue reading Debt ceiling winners, losers, and random thoughts on our fiscal future

Springsteen’s “The River” and the ghost of redemption

The past is memory, memory is a ghost and also a dream, the dream is a lie, and yet we still cannot stop ourselves from trying.  “The River” isn’t a happy song, but that doesn’t preclude the possibility of redemption in some unforeseen future. Bruce Springsteen’s “The River” isn’t a happy song.  The music, complete… Continue reading Springsteen’s “The River” and the ghost of redemption

Unpopular opinion: Beauty standards are supposed to be unrealistic, that’s the point

There is value instead in being grounded – knowing who you are, what you are capable of, your strengths and weaknesses and the like. The Bulimia Project recently asked three Artificial Intelligence Image Generators to create their vision of… Continue reading Unpopular opinion: Beauty standards are supposed to be unrealistic, that’s the point

Corporate America seems intent on committing suicide by woke

Adidas chooses men to model women’s swimwear, Target has Satanists designing Pride apparel and another company pushing children’s swimsuits with different crotches for potential trans kids, and the LA Dodgers invite an anti-Christian drag show to perform before a game.  What are us “normals” missing?

Did Ron DeSantis just make a huge mistake? A couple of lessons from Teddy Roosevelt in that regard…

The Florida Governor officially enters a Republican field completely dominated by President Donald Trump, putting himself in the spotlight while remaining at the mercy of events, left to hope some outside force fells the former President because there is nothing he can say or do to change the dynamic. I was wrong:  I always figured… Continue reading Did Ron DeSantis just make a huge mistake? A couple of lessons from Teddy Roosevelt in that regard…

Springsteen in Paris, a Fiat 500 Hybrid in the Alps, and an America that no longer works

Sometimes, you can learn a lot about yourself, your country, and the world at large on vacation in what might as well be half a world away, but the lessons aren’t always positive.  Paris in particular and France in general has never been high on my list of countries to visit.  This is not based… Continue reading Springsteen in Paris, a Fiat 500 Hybrid in the Alps, and an America that no longer works

Trump-haters beware, the revolution will eat its own

From the highs of a jury finding the former President guilty of sexual assault without any evidence to the lows of a Justice Department report that found no evidence and a lot of bias in the Russian collusion investigation, Trump-haters operate under the assumption that the man deserves it no matter what.  What will happen… Continue reading Trump-haters beware, the revolution will eat its own
