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… Continue reading Is “The Battle of Minneapolis” really the right place for children?

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… Continue reading Reminder: Progressives do not get to decide what’s right and wrong, and other lessons from Jackson’s handling of the first nullification crisis
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… Continue reading Progressives go full Apocalypse Now
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… Continue reading A modest proposal: Is it time to bring back the Darwin Awards?
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… Continue reading Either progressives truly think this is a war or they have officially lost their minds
Democrats in Minnesota and elsewhere desperately need a lesson in the nature of power
Contrary to the conventional wisdom, President Trump cannot simply allow his political adversaries to dictate his actions. No President has ever done so, and none ever will. Full disclosure: I wrote most of this post before the second ICE shooting left a man dead in Minneapolis less than a month after the first on Saturday… Continue reading Democrats in Minnesota and elsewhere desperately need a lesson in the nature of power
Greenland’s strategic importance has been beyond dispute for decades, the only question is how to secure its future
At this point, if anyone truly believes either Denmark or the broader European Union can be trusted to safeguard Greenland against Russia and China, there’s an old expression about a bridge for sale. In season two of Netflix’ of The Diplomat, the potential for Russia to launch a sneak attack against the United States by… Continue reading Greenland’s strategic importance has been beyond dispute for decades, the only question is how to secure its future
Democrats against democracy
By almost any definition, democracies are based on the government implementing the will of the people as expressed in elections, but the people have spoken and suddenly, that will must be denied by any means necessary. In the history of American politics, few things were more clear than President Donald Trump’s pledge to conduct mass… Continue reading Democrats against democracy
Violence is rarely a good strategy, but it’s even worse when facing President Trump
While politics ain’t beanbag as they say, if you are going to go so hardcore that you demand blood and insist people get shot for the cause, you better be sure it’s going to work. Earlier this week, I opined that the Democrat’s political strategy was to foment violence and it was the only leverage… Continue reading Violence is rarely a good strategy, but it’s even worse when facing President Trump
Violence is the Democrat strategy and their only hope for leverage
Last summer, Democrats called for blood and began training “warriors” to resist ICE. Last week, there was yet another tragic instance of actual blood, blood that was immediately seized upon as leverage to enact their preferred policy of ending deportations. In our system of government, the minority party generally seeks leverage to influence events. Lacking… Continue reading Violence is the Democrat strategy and their only hope for leverage
