Palestine, Hamas, Israel, and antisemitism: Good faith is hard to find

Remember when the Tea Party movement that formed under President Barack Obama was maligned as a racist haven for white supremacy by many of the same people who are now studiously avoiding a discussion of the rampant antisemitism in their midst? In principle, it is possible to be a supporter of Palestine without being an… Continue reading Palestine, Hamas, Israel, and antisemitism: Good faith is hard to find

No, Elon Musk is not an antisemite and other misinformation the media pretends is true

Most Jewish people are Democrats and the Democrat Party is closely aligned with the critical race theory, anti-racist agenda that openly seeks to redistribute resources to groups they perceive as disadvantaged, meaning from supposedly privileged whites, many of whom are Jewish, to people of color, most of whom are not.  The world’s second richest man… Continue reading No, Elon Musk is not an antisemite and other misinformation the media pretends is true

Is Trump mounting the most triumphant political comeback of all time, or at least since 1892?

According to conventional wisdom in much of the media and other Democrat-heavy groups, President Trump shouldn’t even be allowed to run again, and yet the makings of one of the most – if not the most – triumphant political comeback of all time are in place.  To date, Grover Cleveland is the only President in… Continue reading Is Trump mounting the most triumphant political comeback of all time, or at least since 1892?

Biden cannot continue to be at war with himself over Israel and Hamas, or Russia and Ukraine

Clarity of purpose in war is essential.  The enemy must understand and believe you will do whatever it takes to achieve your objective.  How is a war supposed to end when your enemy doesn’t even know what you want in the first place? Last week, President Joe Biden said what most needed saying about the… Continue reading Biden cannot continue to be at war with himself over Israel and Hamas, or Russia and Ukraine

The media applies the impossible Biden standard of evidence to Israel

Underground tunnels beneath a hospital? Hostages taken through a hospital? Weapons caches inside a hospital? Where have we seen this impossible standard of evidence before?  When no evidence of any kind is ever enough? The big news over the past few days as been the humanitarian pause or cease-fire if you prefer in exchange for… Continue reading The media applies the impossible Biden standard of evidence to Israel

Nikki Haley is everything that’s wrong with the establishment

On the surface, it may seem like a petty dispute over the use of TikTok, but the spat between the former Governor and Vivek Ramaswamy is actually one of the fundamental battles of our time, and Haley is not on our side. In politics, sometimes small, seemingly inconsequential moments illuminate larger issues, crystallizing the true… Continue reading Nikki Haley is everything that’s wrong with the establishment

A few honest questions for supporters of Palestine

My view is simple:  October 7 changed everything, Hamas needs to be destroyed, and an invasion, which will necessarily be brutal and bloody, is the only means to do that.  Someone, somewhere might have a superior plan that would achieve the same objective with less loss of life.  It would be helpful, however, if they… Continue reading A few honest questions for supporters of Palestine

Off year elections: The current political stalemate amid massive polarization is a matter of trust

Ohio’s recent trust in Republicans doesn’t extend to the abortion issue.  Virginia might like and trust Governor Youngkin himself, but they have no faith in an empowered Republican Party.  Kentucky, meanwhile, placed its trust in Republicans, only to watch them completely botch critical tax policy.  The Republican Party didn’t have the best night last Tuesday,… Continue reading Off year elections: The current political stalemate amid massive polarization is a matter of trust

Israel: The Biden Administration appears to understand the dynamics and the stakes, but somehow refuses to accept what that actually means in the real world

The Secretary of State admitted that Hamas uses their own people as human shields and doesn’t care about their well being, but fails to explain how Israel can minimize civilian casualties when their enemy wants to maximize them, much less how a “humanitarian pause” would do anything except help Hamas itself. “Hamas doesn’t care one… Continue reading Israel: The Biden Administration appears to understand the dynamics and the stakes, but somehow refuses to accept what that actually means in the real world

Mitch McConnell has officially lost it, slamming his own party while repeating Democrat talking points

The Senator from Kentucky recently endorsed the idea that war is actually stimulus, bomb someone half a world away to make more bombs here at home, perhaps the most cynical and reprehensible framing in decades. In doing so, he’s opposing the newly minted Speaker of the House and taking other unwarranted shots at his fellow… Continue reading Mitch McConnell has officially lost it, slamming his own party while repeating Democrat talking points
