Taming the budget the Calvin Coolidge way

The budget is an out of control beast, but this isn’t the first time elevated spending combined with massive inflation to threaten the economy. The Constitution gives the President the tools today as it did in the 1920s. All that’s missing is the will to do it the Coolidge way, cutting everywhere you can and… Continue reading Taming the budget the Calvin Coolidge way

Impeachment: The political bombshell that wasn’t

Once upon a time, this would have been huge news, especially one backed by multiple pieces of evidence and the clear knowledge the President did, in fact, lie many times, but in today’s highly polarized age, no one, and I mean no one, seems to care.  During the second impeachment of former President Donald Trump,… Continue reading Impeachment: The political bombshell that wasn’t

Does a politician deserve to be carjacked and beaten because she pushed policies that would self-evidently result in higher crime rates?

Sadly, this is no longer a hypothetical question after the Vice Chair of the Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party, an affiliate of the broader Democrat Party and an advocate for defund the police, was carjacked outside her house and savagely beaten in front of her children. First, let me begin by stating that one of my core… Continue reading Does a politician deserve to be carjacked and beaten because she pushed policies that would self-evidently result in higher crime rates?

Mitch McConnell and the media’s utter shamelessness

For years now, they have collectively ignored the continued stumbles of the most powerful man in the world, only to pounce on a Republican after two similar instances. Let me start by being clear:  Personally, I think Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell is long past his sell-by date at a ripe 81 years old and… Continue reading Mitch McConnell and the media’s utter shamelessness

Where there’s the smoke of scandal, there’s the fire of corruption except for President Biden

Under normal circumstances, a politician repeatedly lying about something, forget abruptly changing policies on his own, would suggest – at a minimum – they have something to hide, but somehow, for some unstated reason, none of that is supposed to apply to President Biden. President Joe Biden’s supporters have adopted a curiously obtuse perspective, one… Continue reading Where there’s the smoke of scandal, there’s the fire of corruption except for President Biden

Trump, the mugshot seen around the world, and progressive blather about the rule of law

We cannot say for sure if he is enraged, defiant, determined, or some combination of all three and more, but we can say that this is not a man who is going to walk quietly into obscurity, either in prison or otherwise, and likely with good reason given the underlying issues at play. Last week,… Continue reading Trump, the mugshot seen around the world, and progressive blather about the rule of law

Hawaii, Biden’s “heck of a job,” competence, compassion, and empathy this certainly isn’t

The President is lucky in one regard:  He’s not George W. Bush or any other Republican, and so despite showing about as much empathy as Freddy Kreuger does while stalking a victim in a nightmare, he can count on the mainstream media to either ignore his failings entirely or spin them into some kind of… Continue reading Hawaii, Biden’s “heck of a job,” competence, compassion, and empathy this certainly isn’t

Biden’s vaccine mandate “conspiracy” to defraud the government and the American people

The President mandated vaccines based on false statements, faulty science, outright lies, and flawed legal reasoning only to be rejected by the Supreme Court after untold people lost their jobs, American rights were trampled, and the country thrown into chaos. These days, this should be an indictable offense. On November 4, 2021, President Joe Biden… Continue reading Biden’s vaccine mandate “conspiracy” to defraud the government and the American people

Trump and the historic embrace of novel legal theories

Whatever your opinion on the man himself, there is a fundamental question of fairness when you consider that he is facing hundreds of years in prison, based mostly on novel interpretations of statutes that even his opponents admit have never been used in this way before.  Give credit where credit is due: The various prosecutors… Continue reading Trump and the historic embrace of novel legal theories

To impeach or not to impeach, that is the question

Impeachment is rapidly becoming the talk of the town among Congressional Republicans, who believe an inquiry alone will provide answers to pressing questions, but there are many reasons to believe the plan could backfire, big time. Late last week, a Republican Congressman from Florida, Greg Steube, filed articles of impeachment against President Joe Biden over… Continue reading To impeach or not to impeach, that is the question
