The world’s only one man media empire
Last week, they claimed killing any enemy’s leadership only prolongs a war. On Monday, they claimed the President lied about engaging in talks with Iran. On Tuesday, they insisted we should not have talks at all, pretending Iran is the same now as it was before the war. On Monday, President Donald Trump announced that… Continue reading Iran: As Trump switches into deal making mode, did everyone forget that we’ve been at war for more than three weeks?
While the media reacted with shock and dismay at Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard’s claim that only the President can decide what is an imminent threat, the truth is so clear, even PolitiFact got this one right. Last week, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard told Congress that the President was ultimately in charge… Continue reading Yes, the President decides what constitutes a threat, there can be no other way under our system of government
During the Cold War, the theory held that one country falling to communism led to another, but today Trump is toppling states allied with China and Russia in an inverted incarnation. In the aftermath of World War II, the world was roughly divided into two spheres of influence. Countries either lived under the protective umbrella… Continue reading Trump is running the “Domino Theory” in reverse
Despite calling for higher prices for years, we’re supposed to believe that progressives had a recent epiphany or at least that’s what they would like you to think if you happen to have the memory of a gold fish. In one of those ironies that so frequently seem to define the modern world, Yahoo Finance… Continue reading Since when do progressives give the slightest shit about high oil prices?
For a savvy politician, the disconnect between what voters want on illegal immigration and how the President is addressing that want is an opportunity to agree with the principle while bemoaning the practice, but Democrats cannot bring themselves to take advantage. To a rational adult, two things can be true simultaneously. It is possible to… Continue reading Democrats are doubling down on illegal immigration to their own detriment because they are terrified of their own voters
Democrats plan to counter Trump’s State of the Union by claiming these aren’t normal times. Me? I’ve got a few questions about the past three decades the American people have been forced to suffer through and I would like their opinion on whether any of it was normal. Tomorrow evening, some leading Democrats are planning… Continue reading When, exactly, was politics normal like the Democrats claim?
Slate.com finally admitted, “The base appears to be demonstrably more bloodthirsty than it ever was during Trump’s first term, almost like they’ve finally been granted an opportunity to satiate a long-unquenched rage, absent any platitudinal hedging,” but where have they been for the past several decades? If you live outside the left’s intellectual bubble, it’s… Continue reading The rise of “Dark Woke” and ripping the mask off progressive piety
It was Ronald Reagan who once quipped that the deficit was big enough to take care of itself. We can rightly criticize Trump for spending too much, we can encourage and cajole him into cutting more, but we cannot hold him accountable for a problem for which there is no politically viable fix. Last week,… Continue reading Trump and the sad truth about the deficit and the debt
This isn’t the first time Springsteen has turned to music in the wake of an American killed by law enforcement or the first time he’s sung about immigration issues. Sadly, he has done so with far better results than his current effort. Let me start by saying that I practically worship Bruce Springsteen. I’ve seen… Continue reading Springsteen’s “Streets of Minneapolis” is a case study in Trump Derangement Syndrome
By almost any definition, democracies are based on the government implementing the will of the people as expressed in elections, but the people have spoken and suddenly, that will must be denied by any means necessary. In the history of American politics, few things were more clear than President Donald Trump’s pledge to conduct mass… Continue reading Democrats against democracy
