The world’s only one man media empire
Taxes have been considered a form of regulation since the Founding. Concluding one doesn’t come with the other amounts to believing Congress delegated the use of economic nuclear weapons, but only nuclear weapons, even when a scalpel might better serve the same purpose. In principle, I agree with the notion that our constitutional order does… Continue reading The Supreme Court’s unsatisfying decision to cut the IEEPA baby in half on tariffs
Democrats plan to counter Trump’s State of the Union by claiming these aren’t normal times. Me? I’ve got a few questions about the past three decades the American people have been forced to suffer through and I would like their opinion on whether any of it was normal. Tomorrow evening, some leading Democrats are planning… Continue reading When, exactly, was politics normal like the Democrats claim?
The left cheered for a performance in Spanish, whether or not they understood a single word, then they cheered for a performance in English, whether or not the performer said a single thing. Last weekend, progressive firebrand Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez went global, attending the Munich Security Conference in what many believe is an effort to… Continue reading AOC, Bad Bunny, and the sad reality that it doesn’t matter what progressives say anymore as long as they’re progressives
Slate.com finally admitted, “The base appears to be demonstrably more bloodthirsty than it ever was during Trump’s first term, almost like they’ve finally been granted an opportunity to satiate a long-unquenched rage, absent any platitudinal hedging,” but where have they been for the past several decades? If you live outside the left’s intellectual bubble, it’s… Continue reading The rise of “Dark Woke” and ripping the mask off progressive piety
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,… Continue reading Trump and the sad truth about the deficit and the debt
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… Continue reading Trump is simply an another level than other politicians, love him or hate him, for better or worse
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… Continue reading The Washington Post and the reality that the media thinks they are better than you
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… Continue reading Don’t look now, but Democrats are picking yet another funding battle they will lose
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?
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
