The world’s only one man media empire
For a man who prided himself on principle, communicating our Founding ethos those better than anyone else, Jefferson had a habit of discarding them when convenient. Was he a liar, a hypocrite, a fraud, or simply a political genius? Thomas Jefferson has long been acknowledged as one of the most eloquent communicators of our Founding… Continue reading Thomas Jefferson and why power trumps principle in politics
“The notion that rights don’t come from laws and don’t come from the government, but come from the Creator — that’s what the Iranian government believes. It’s a theocratic regime that bases its rule on Sharia law,” said Democrat Senator Tim Kaine at recent Senate hearing, revealing how progressives truly feel about the Founding. For… Continue reading No, the Founders had nothing in common with the Ayatollah of Iran or Sharia law
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
Before the inauguration speech was even over, President Trump declared it was a new Golden Age in America, promised to take back the Panama Canal and reinvigorated the much maligned phrase, Manifest Destiny, this time applying it to our quest to conquer the stars, and he was just getting warmed up. Love him or hate… Continue reading The Full Trump from Day One
How the wisdom of George Washington, the indispensable man, and Ferris Bueller, the lovable rogue who valued experiencing the moment, can unite to guide us through these troubled times. “-Ism’s in my opinion are not good. A person should not believe in an -ism, he should believe in himself. I quote John Lennon, ‘I don’t… Continue reading George Washington, Ferris Bueller, and those “-isms” that aren’t good
A failed impeachment vote, a failed aid to Israel vote, and the even more spectacular failure of a supposedly bipartisan border security bill in less than 72 hours caps a week that will live in infamy. Last year, I opined that the Republicans can’t count following the disastrous ousting of Speaker of the House Kevin… Continue reading Republicans can’t count part two, and other recent obscenities in Congress
The President of the United States recklessly and dangerously unleashed F22 Raptors on three amateur balloons in as many days with no explanation. The Founders would’ve considered this an impeachable offense and a subordinate would likely face criminal charges under the Uniform Code of Military Justice. The Biden Administration and the media have rapidly moved… Continue reading Provocative opinion: Balloon-gate is an impeachable offense
Justice Stephen Breyer’s announcement wasn’t even official, but the battle was already engaged with some claiming a secret plot was afoot to install either Mitt Romney or Hillary Clinton as Vice President. Others took issue with the race of the potential nominee and Vice President Harris. Still others took aim at the rule of law… Continue reading A Supreme Court confirmation battle begins with a combination of the absurd, the crude, and the insane
Democrats, the mainstream media, and even some Republicans remain obsessed with the January 6 riots, even as their fevered fantasies of a coordinated, armed insurrection have been revealed as completely false. They’re now resorting to doctoring text messages and lying about it to keep the story alive, desperate to go after Trump one more time… Continue reading Yes, conservatives almost universally condemned the January 6th riots, despite lies to the contrary
From the Compromise of 1790 onward, the American system is built around establishing broad consensus for major issues, passing bipartisan legislation where both parties get something they want. The result is increased ownership of government programs and less acrimony. Isn’t that what everyone claims to want for America? Earlier this month, a bipartisan group of… Continue reading The bipartisan infrastructure push: This is the way things are supposed to work
