The world’s only one man media empire
Less than four years ago, the unvaccinated were the enemy, killing their fellow citizens, and their rights, their jobs, their families, their homes, their entire lives didn’t matter. There was no compassion to be found. No sympathy. No helping hand. In many cases, not even unemployment when they were forced from their jobs for no… Continue reading Why I’m all out of compassion for government workers in the wake of the pandemic
Can firing a bureaucrat in DC cause a plane to crash in Toronto? According to wild new theory being promulgated by progressives and the media, it certainly can. In science, the Butterfly Effect describes how small changes in input can have large changes in output. As the classic thought experiment goes, a butterfly flapping its… Continue reading The Butterfly Effect Theory of Government Workers
Generally speaking, it’s true not to make concessions prior to a negotiation, but it’s also true that you are unlikely to begin negotiations in the first place if your position is perceived as unacceptable. When you are negotiating a fair price for a new car, you don’t begin by offering half of the list price.… Continue reading Trump, the Russo-Japanese War, and the truth about negotiating with Russia
We have two alternatives. The first is to assume the President has some power and discretion when it comes to disbursing government funds. The second is to adopt the new theory that the President must spend every dollar or be in violation of the law and the Constitution itself. As of January 20, 2025, coincidentally… Continue reading The Drunken Sailor Theory of Congressional Appropriations
For the sake of consistency, one would think those concerned about Mr. Musk’s electoral status would also be concerned that any of close to 700 judges in the district courts, none of whom were elected and none of whom enjoy powers enumerated in the Constitution itself, can arbitrarily block the will of a duly elected… Continue reading Isn’t it ironic that the progressive answer to the supposedly unelected Elon Musk is equally unelected judges?
Whatever your personal opinion on these matters, progressives have argued for the need to place more and more power in the hands of government agencies, agencies which report to the executive branch and ultimately the President. Time and again, they told us Congress and the Courts couldn’t do it, but the President had to, except… Continue reading We can’t wait: Trump’s executive power is the same Democrats have been clamoring for and using themselves for decades
If nine out of ten people in the Gaza Strip have lost their homes, and some of those homes might not be rebuilt for more than a decade, even forgetting the rest of the infrastructure required to support a community, where are these people supposed to live in the interim? In tents? In the rubble?… Continue reading The boldest foreign policy vision in a hundred years or more, bar none
Previously, Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanagh’s hearings in September 2018 were a high, or perhaps, I should say, low water mark in this regard, but we have to give the good Senators credit for outdoing themselves at least. Over the past several decades, Senate confirmation hearings have transformed from staid, boring, if-not-banal formalities into a… Continue reading Advise and consent or rave and rant? There was no decency or sanity to be had at the Senate’s confirmation hearings
They also revealed the reality that not a penny of spending is wasted in their eyes, no cuts are possible, and any cut will be deemed a catastrophe. Earlier this week, President Donald Trump issued an executive order temporarily pausing federal grants to third parties including non-governmental organizations, as part of what I have been… Continue reading Democrats and the media are spreading more fear and confusion than anyone else
Democrats and their media allies have decided that President Trump is, at least for now, untouchable, having already survived the onslaught and prospered, but for some reason they believe the same overheated rhetoric, rhetoric that clearly devalues the Holocaust as they claim others are doing, will take down Elon Musk. If you needed any more… Continue reading Stuck on Nazi stupid
