President Biden’s signature progressive legislation fails to attract the 50 votes required for passage in the Senate after months of negotiations. Progressives are furious, but they should’ve seen this coming all along when the bill was built on gimmicks and cheap accounting tricks with no central message or purpose.

It’s official: Some progressives don’t think we should actually work for a living, fortunately they’re counterbalanced by others who still believe in the dignity of a day’s pay
Vox calls for a “break” from capitalism to focus on mental health issues along with a complete restructuring of work in general, presuming we’d all be better off sitting at home complaining about our plight.

Yes, conservatives almost universally condemned the January 6th riots, despite lies to the contrary
Democrats, the mainstream media, and even some Republicans remain obsessed with the January 6 riots, even as their fevered fantasies of a coordinated, armed insurrection have been revealed as completely false.

Elon Musk: Time’s Person of the Year has become a relentless advocate for freedom, placing himself in the middle of our raging culture wars
It’s an irony of our times that a former South African, a creature of deep-blue, progressive Silicon Valley, and now the richest man in the world should become a divisive, cultural touchstone for the enduring importance of freedom. Fighting lockdowns and vaccine mandates, Mr. Musk has earned the respect of conservatives and the ire of… Continue reading Elon Musk: Time’s Person of the Year has become a relentless advocate for freedom, placing himself in the middle of our raging culture wars

The Russia problem is really a China problem, and there is no easy fix after decades of failure
As Russian troops mass on the Ukrainian border in advance of an expected invasion next year, President Biden believes economic sanctions alone can deter the threat, but Europe is so heavily dependent on Russian oil it’s difficult to see how that would be effective. In the meantime, China is threatening Taiwan and strengthening ties to… Continue reading The Russia problem is really a China problem, and there is no easy fix after decades of failure
Jussie Smollett and the corrupt nexus between race and money
As Jussie Smollett’s trial finally comes to a close, we shouldn’t forget that he did it for the money, using racial resentment for his own fame and fortune. He understood that stoking racial flames is big business in America today.
