Trump and the sad truth about the deficit and the debt
It was Ronald Reagan who once quipped that the deficit was big enough to take care of itself. We can rightly criticize Trump for spending too much, we can encourage and cajole him into cutting more, but we cannot hold him accountable for a problem for which there is no politically viable fix. Last week,…
Trump is simply an another level than other politicians, love him or hate him, for better or worse
Last week he launched TrumpRx.com. If you were to ask me to trade his accomplishments – many like revitalizing the Monroe Doctrine or being instrumental in overturning Roe Vs. Wade that I had only previously dreamed of – for less boorish and at times offensive behavior, I’d take the accomplishments every single time. Whether you…
The Washington Post and the reality that the media thinks they are better than you
Last week, journalists in particular and progressives in general let out a cry of anguish straight out of Star Wars, but in any other industry hundreds of millions in losses, declining readership, and a staff in open rebellion would have resulted in changes long ago. Last week, journalists in particular and progressives in general let…
Don’t look now, but Democrats are picking yet another funding battle they will lose
Last year, Democrats put the country through the longest shutdown in history and have precisely nothing to show for it. The situation is even worse for them right now, but Trump Derangement and the constant belief that this time things will be different, is a sad yet powerful thing. Though the ink is barely dry…
Is “The Battle of Minneapolis” really the right place for children?
At least according to CNN, the answer is yes after they glowingly described the efforts of a sixteen and a seventeen year old from Chicago willing to take any risk for the anti-ICE cause. According to Democrats and their progressive allies, Minneapolis is a war zone, the site of a classic struggle between good and…
Springsteen’s “Streets of Minneapolis” is a case study in Trump Derangement Syndrome
This isn’t the first time Springsteen has turned to music in the wake of an American killed by law enforcement or the first time he’s sung about immigration issues. Sadly, he has done so with far better results than his current effort. Let me start by saying that I practically worship Bruce Springsteen. I’ve seen…
Reminder: Progressives do not get to decide what’s right and wrong, and other lessons from Jackson’s handling of the first nullification crisis
America has already had this argument and it has already been soundly rejected, legally and at the bloody point of a gun during the Civil War. In fact, three decades before the war itself, President Andrew Jackson confronted this very same thinking during the first nullification crisis. To hear Democrats and their progressive allies tell…
Progressives go full Apocalypse Now
It’s hard to believe we are less than six months from the targeted assassination of Charlie Kirk. Back then, turning down the rhetoric was all the rage, but now everyone loves the smell of napalm in the morning. “I love the smell of napalm in the morning,” exclaims Lieutenant Bill Kilgore in Apocalypse Now as…
A modest proposal: Is it time to bring back the Darwin Awards?
If you set aside the politics, picking up a flashbang grenade in attempt to throw it at law enforcement officers, begging them to shoot you, driving cars into them, and putting your hands on them while packing heat are decidedly not smart things to do. Let me start by saying in no uncertain terms that…
Either progressives truly think this is a war or they have officially lost their minds
Are we witnessing “The Battle for Minneapolis” as The New Yorker claimed or “Our Gettysburg Moment” as The Bulwark had it, or are progressives simply so far gone they see no danger in taunting men they described as poorly trained thugs with guns? To hear Democrats and their progressive allies tell it, President Donald Trump’s…
