Some assassins are more equal than others, at least according to far too many progressives

When Luigi Mangione gunned down a health insurance CEO six months ago, he was hailed as a hunky folk hero fighting for the oppressed, but somehow violence directed at Democrats is beyond the pale. I have a pretty simple rule:  Political violence including political assassinations is bad, beyond the pale, something that should never happen… Continue reading Some assassins are more equal than others, at least according to far too many progressives

Only one thing is certain, the media and the experts will keep lying to you repeatedly about the state of the economy and everything else

While I’m the first to admit the tariff strategy might backfire and unintended consequences could abound, good economic news outside the stock market is almost everywhere, contrary to the predictions of the experts. Last week, the price of eggs made headlines once again when a report found they broke another record in March, contrary to… Continue reading Only one thing is certain, the media and the experts will keep lying to you repeatedly about the state of the economy and everything else

The fine line between protests and terrorism in the era of safety and security

For better or worse, one of the most significant cultural shifts since the counterculture revolution has been our collective tolerance of risk, and we should not tolerate any activity that violates the current societal norms around safety and public behavior. At the risk of stating the obvious typing away at a keyboard in front of… Continue reading The fine line between protests and terrorism in the era of safety and security

The email heard around the world

What began as an obvious stunt, turned into a trap when it was revealed intelligence officials have the time to discuss castration on government systems and, apparently, the entire government can be thrown into chaos by a simple request. In the annals of American history, perhaps few things are more emblematic of the absurdity of… Continue reading The email heard around the world

The Butterfly Effect Theory of Government Workers

Can firing a bureaucrat in DC cause a plane to crash in Toronto? According to wild new theory being promulgated by progressives and the media, it certainly can. In science, the Butterfly Effect describes how small changes in input can have large changes in output.  As the classic thought experiment goes, a butterfly flapping its… Continue reading The Butterfly Effect Theory of Government Workers

We can’t wait: Trump’s executive power is the same Democrats have been clamoring for and using themselves for decades

Whatever your personal opinion on these matters, progressives have argued for the need to place more and more power in the hands of government agencies, agencies which report to the executive branch and ultimately the President.  Time and again, they told us Congress and the Courts couldn’t do it, but the President had to, except… Continue reading We can’t wait: Trump’s executive power is the same Democrats have been clamoring for and using themselves for decades

Democrats and the media are spreading more fear and confusion than anyone else

They also revealed the reality that not a penny of spending is wasted in their eyes, no cuts are possible, and any cut will be deemed a catastrophe.  Earlier this week, President Donald Trump issued an executive order temporarily pausing federal grants to third parties including non-governmental organizations, as part of what I have been… Continue reading Democrats and the media are spreading more fear and confusion than anyone else

The Full Trump from Day One

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

Why Trump’s massive victory gives me hope for the future and renewed pride in the American experiment

The people have spoken and they have shouted:  We will not be told what to do, what to think, what to believe, how to act, how to live, and how to vote in record numbers.  At the risk of sounding like Michelle Obama, I have never been more proud of my country than last Tuesday… Continue reading Why Trump’s massive victory gives me hope for the future and renewed pride in the American experiment

Biden and Harris demand peace in the Middle East despite a string of victories that might actually secure it, while seeking total victory in Ukraine even as Russia continues to flaunt their growing power

Previously, I had opined that just when you thought the Biden-Harris foreign policy couldn’t get any worse it does.  I followed that up by claiming that we’re an impotent bystander in world affairs, but somehow they have managed to continue to reach depths previously thought unreachable. Earlier this week, Secretary of State Antony Blinken made… Continue reading Biden and Harris demand peace in the Middle East despite a string of victories that might actually secure it, while seeking total victory in Ukraine even as Russia continues to flaunt their growing power
