Defining radicalism downward and the schizophrenia of the modern left

Balance scale contrasting declining city markets with rising investment and a glowing coin

What are we to make of the socialist hero of New York City, Mayor Zohran Mamdani, suddenly becoming a moderate in the eyes of at least one progressive analyst? Once upon a time, Mayor Zohran Mamdani was a socialist hero, whose upstart campaign showed how New York City and potentially the entire nation was hungry… Continue reading Defining radicalism downward and the schizophrenia of the modern left

Elections aren’t referendums

Damaged ballot boxes labeled VOTE surrounded by scattered voting papers

You can vote to punish the President if you want, but be careful you don’t end up punishing yourself as well. For obvious reasons, Democrats and their enablers in the mainstream media are desperate to frame the midterm elections, just two weeks from today, as a referendum on President Donald Trump’s time in office to… Continue reading Elections aren’t referendums

The incredible disappearance of James Talarico and our rapidly shrinking media

Empty news desk and chairs in a broadcast studio surrounded by video screens

If you compare coverage of Mr. Talarico’s disappearance for almost two weeks to President Trump going an entire 48 hours without a public event last summer, the difference can only be said to be instructive. In normal circumstances, a major candidate for the Senate, the person who many believe will turn Texas red for the… Continue reading The incredible disappearance of James Talarico and our rapidly shrinking media

Government raids: No one likes when the shoe is on the other foot

Courtroom scales balance papers against a glowing orb labeled TRUTH

While the reaction to the raid on Representative Ilhan Omar’s home is not surprising, what combination of short memories, a belief their audiences have even shorter ones, and self righteousness powers the phenomenon, where something is good when it happens to someone they don’t like, but bad, very bad otherwise? On August 10, 2022, a… Continue reading Government raids: No one likes when the shoe is on the other foot

Bitching about gas prices shouldn’t be enough to earn a single vote

Gas station at dusk with signs reading 9.99 9/10, Price/Gal 214.78, Gallon 16.920, Total Sale 169.20, OPEN, and pump 4

Complaining about prices and blaming President Trump is one thing, but actually doing something is quite another, and in this regard, Democrats simply aren’t saying and the media is rather bizarrely uninterested in the plan. As everyone knows by now, gas prices are high and for far too many people, the elevated costs are putting… Continue reading Bitching about gas prices shouldn’t be enough to earn a single vote

If this were any other President, the media would be running nonstop profiles of political courage and leadership

Split war and AI debate scene with Trump

Whether you support the Iran war or are a proponent of AI, once upon a time these would be considered politically courageous positions and pundits would have declared this is what leadership looks like. In 2001, President Gerald Ford provided one of the best definitions of political courage in recent memory.  While accepting the John… Continue reading If this were any other President, the media would be running nonstop profiles of political courage and leadership

It’s time for Republicans to get off their ass and make the freaking case for the midterms

Replace conservation symbolism with growth jobs and safety

Do you want secure borders, less crime, less government, more manufacturing, more energy, more money in your pocket, and more economic growth over all to continue even if gas prices are higher than you would like, or do you want to go back to the malaise that prevailed before he retook office? Contrary to the… Continue reading It’s time for Republicans to get off their ass and make the freaking case for the midterms

Progressives are willing to sacrifice their own kids for the cause

Empty meeting room with microphones, documents, chairs, and flags

The saga of Nikole Hannah-Jones and her husband sacrificing their own daughter’s education for the common good would be a sad parody taken in isolation, but unfortunately for us all, this is the progressive ideology writ large. Last week, journalist Nikole Hannah-Jones, the primary creator of the controversial and completely inaccurate 1619 Project, shocked the… Continue reading Progressives are willing to sacrifice their own kids for the cause

No, you can’t stop the future of AI or anything else, however hard you try

Glowing share icon surrounded by connected people, servers, and network lines

An unknown researcher, a viral post, and demands for regulations won’t stop the race for Artificial Intelligence anymore than nuclear non-proliferation treaties prevented the spread of the atom bomb. Last week, a social media post from a purported AI researcher who recently resigned from Anthropic went viral under suspicious circumstances when he predicted the end… Continue reading No, you can’t stop the future of AI or anything else, however hard you try
