Trump, the Bolton raid, and my conservative principles

The real question is whether justice has indeed been blind to the point where these and potentially other actions are fundamentally altering its nature, or has justice been transformed into the raw exercise of power rather than the pursuit of truth and fairness. Last week, critics of President Trump and his supporters on both the… Continue reading Trump, the Bolton raid, and my conservative principles

Don’t look now, but Democrats suddenly have a white savior complex, lavishing love on a dude for being traditionally Caucasian and imitating Donald Trump

The combination of the artificiality and their sudden desire to champion beautiful, rich white people like Governor Gavin Newsom at least partially for being beautiful, rich, and white seems at odds with their decades long obsession with people of color and fear of the white savior complex There’s no doubt that California Governor Gavin Newsom… Continue reading Don’t look now, but Democrats suddenly have a white savior complex, lavishing love on a dude for being traditionally Caucasian and imitating Donald Trump

The self-proclaimed defenders of democracy aren’t defending anything close to what most people consider American democracy

Surely, any pretension of protecting democracy was fatally undermined by a call to rewrite the entire Constitution and related musings on why the military leadership hasn’t done more to undermine the Commander in Chief. Anyone who thinks irony is dead should consider the current progressive positions on the nature of democracy.  On one hand, they… Continue reading The self-proclaimed defenders of democracy aren’t defending anything close to what most people consider American democracy

Epstein, redistricting, and what connects two issues voters don’t really care about

They call the summer the silly season for a reason, but perhaps this particular summer is sillier than others as politicians, the media, and political junkies on social media obsess over two very different issues while the American people enjoy their barbecues and vacations. Over the past month, a man who died in 2019 has… Continue reading Epstein, redistricting, and what connects two issues voters don’t really care about

The political beatdowns will continue until one side or the other begs for mercy

While self-awareness and an appreciation for irony might be at historical lows, did Democrats think Trump was going to play nice after they impeached him twice, tried to ban him from the ballot, bankrupt his businesses, and put him in jail for several lifetimes? Though much virtual ink has been shed on the extremity of… Continue reading The political beatdowns will continue until one side or the other begs for mercy

Reminder: Democrats should love tariffs because they have wanted to raise taxes for years

While we might forgive politicians for a little politicking, it’s more than a little ironic for Democrats to abandon a core tenet of their philosophy and pretend higher taxes haven’t been a long term goal. On December 1, 2010, Alan Simpson and Erskine Bowles concluded President Barack Obama’s National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform… Continue reading Reminder: Democrats should love tariffs because they have wanted to raise taxes for years

The progressive war on fun and those who are having it

From endless protests and outrage to personal crying and venting on social media, progressives aren’t having any fun in this political climate, as in so long as President Trump remains in office, and they don’t want you to do so either. It’s no secret that progressives are miserable, veering from outrage to depression with a… Continue reading The progressive war on fun and those who are having it

Trump, tariffs, and my conservative principles

As President Trump proceeds with his tariff policy and an appeals court prepares a ruling on whether that policy is lawful in the first place, some are claiming that tariffs fundamentally violate various conservative economic and Constitutional principles. As President Donald Trump proceeds with phase two of his tariff policy and an appeals court prepares… Continue reading Trump, tariffs, and my conservative principles

Russian collusion: A fake conspiracy about a fake conspiracy?

The purveyors of the fake Russian collusion conspiracy theory now find themselves claiming they in fact are the victims of a fake conspiracy theory perpetrated by Donald Trump himself.  In one of the richest ironies in recent memory, the purveyors of the fake Russian collusion conspiracy theory, those that spent years and millions upon millions… Continue reading Russian collusion: A fake conspiracy about a fake conspiracy?

Trump, Epstein, The Wall Street Journal, and the media’s ongoing suicide

If the Journal’s reporting on a supposed birthday letter President Trump sent to Jeffrey Epstein 22 years ago is any indication, the media has chosen to continue the unsustainable practices that have made them among the least trusted institutions in American life. Under normal circumstances, an industry driven by trust would do everything possible to… Continue reading Trump, Epstein, The Wall Street Journal, and the media’s ongoing suicide
