Progressives should’ve listened to Chuck Schumer because they are the ones now reaping the whirlwind

While some say this more aggressive use of power will come back to haunt us as Democrats regain these same powers and use them in turn, conservatives have already been silenced and punished.  There is little more that they can do, and a little retribution is more than well deserved. “You have unleashed the whirlwind… Continue reading Progressives should’ve listened to Chuck Schumer because they are the ones now reaping the whirlwind

Dissecting Trump’s highly underrated debate performance

Much has been made of President Biden’s poor performance, but much less of President Trump’s strong one. Trump’s refusal to give any ground whatsoever on any issue whatsoever set the stage of the meltdown we all witnessed.  Let me start by saying two things.  First, Presidential debates are not scored by Harvard rules.  There is… Continue reading Dissecting Trump’s highly underrated debate performance

Wait, I thought the Supreme Court was just a bunch of partisan hacks in black robes

Despite the naysayers, the Supreme Court continues to demonstrate a rare independence of thought in our polarized age, issuing several decisions just this month that featured shifting coalitions of conservative and liberal Justices, completely defying any simple categorization as partisan.  Progressives, along with some conservatives, have taken up trashing the Supreme Court and recommending all… Continue reading Wait, I thought the Supreme Court was just a bunch of partisan hacks in black robes

NPR, the corrupt media, and why Trump needs to win

A senior editor at NPR reveals how the media outlet intentionally distorted or outright spiked three major stories in recent years, and how the newsroom has been transformed into a progressive advocacy group, aligned against Donald Trump, and willing to lie to get what they want. Earlier this week, National Public Radio’s senior business editor… Continue reading NPR, the corrupt media, and why Trump needs to win

Republicans are stuck on abortion stupid and need some combination of Donald Trump and common sense to save them

They have no plan except to continue showcasing their anti-abortion bonafides and continue handing the Democrats a potent political issue that is already said to have limited their success in 2022 and might well doom them again in 2024. Republicans spent almost fifty years attempting to overturn the Supreme Court’s Roe v. Wade decision that… Continue reading Republicans are stuck on abortion stupid and need some combination of Donald Trump and common sense to save them

Bill Clinton and who the radicals really are

President Clinton isn’t quite a Republican by today’s standards, but he’s much closer to one than the current Democrat Party, and if Democrats still held his positions, or anything like them, there would be broad bipartisan support for any number of major reforms that would benefit the entire country. In yet another common refrain, the… Continue reading Bill Clinton and who the radicals really are

Nikki Haley needs a history lesson and a lesson for all politicians from Donald Trump

The former Governor and now Presidential candidate moved swiftly from refusing to clearly state that slavery was the primary cause of the Civil War to inexplicably claiming America was “never” a racist country. She likely knows better, but her advisors probably don’t. Former Governor and Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley has about the same… Continue reading Nikki Haley needs a history lesson and a lesson for all politicians from Donald Trump

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

Trump and the impossible abortion question

The former President isn’t abandoning his position or expecting his supporters to move left on the controversial topic. He’s expecting them to accept reality and trusting in their ability to act rationally, leading rather than hiding behind a pro-life slogan that has no chance of actually becoming law.  On Sunday, former President Donald Trump angered… Continue reading Trump and the impossible abortion question

Coronavirus and abortion: Why can’t we be more like Europe?

European countries used to be a beacon for progressives eager to expand social programs and promote “democratic socialism,” but the comparison has fallen out of favor during the pandemic because it’s no longer politically useful.  Europe has taken a more reasonable approach to vaccines, including analyzing their real risks, and abortion than American progressives will… Continue reading Coronavirus and abortion: Why can’t we be more like Europe?
