Despite the Democrat’s big win and the hyperbolic claims every election cycle that this is the most important in history, not much will change over the next two years if recent history is any indication. Whether you call it a “thumping” like President George W. Bush in 2006 or a “shellacking” like Barack Obama in… Continue reading The most inconsequential midterm election since 2010, and the pending return of the pen and the phone

Flying cars and failing trains, life lessons in the government versus the private sector
The irony of progressives sneering at Mr. Musk for doing what has never been done before while the governments they control and on whose behalf they advocate for cannot get the job done on time or budget should be obvious. Last month, Elon Musk stunned the world with the Tesla Roadster, a sleek, two seater… Continue reading Flying cars and failing trains, life lessons in the government versus the private sector
Defining radicalism downward and the schizophrenia of the modern left
What are we to make of the socialist hero of New York City, Mayor Zohran Mamdani, suddenly becoming a moderate in the eyes of at least one progressive analyst? Once upon a time, Mayor Zohran Mamdani was a socialist hero, whose upstart campaign showed how New York City and potentially the entire nation was hungry… Continue reading Defining radicalism downward and the schizophrenia of the modern left
Elections aren’t referendums
You can vote to punish the President if you want, but be careful you don’t end up punishing yourself as well. For obvious reasons, Democrats and their enablers in the mainstream media are desperate to frame the midterm elections, just two weeks from today, as a referendum on President Donald Trump’s time in office to… Continue reading Elections aren’t referendums
Bitching about gas prices shouldn’t be enough to earn a single vote
Complaining about prices and blaming President Trump is one thing, but actually doing something is quite another, and in this regard, Democrats simply aren’t saying and the media is rather bizarrely uninterested in the plan. As everyone knows by now, gas prices are high and for far too many people, the elevated costs are putting… Continue reading Bitching about gas prices shouldn’t be enough to earn a single vote
It’s time for Republicans to get off their ass and make the freaking case for the midterms
Do you want secure borders, less crime, less government, more manufacturing, more energy, more money in your pocket, and more economic growth over all to continue even if gas prices are higher than you would like, or do you want to go back to the malaise that prevailed before he retook office? Contrary to the… Continue reading It’s time for Republicans to get off their ass and make the freaking case for the midterms
The President’s $5,000 proposal, his success in four charts, and how so-called conservative influencers are getting worse than Democrats these days
It seems we have a choice: We can either let the most successful politician of the last hundred years or more do his thing or we can listen to those who have produced nothing except hot air their entire lives. Last week, President Donald Trump prompted something of a complete and total meltdown among so… Continue reading The President’s $5,000 proposal, his success in four charts, and how so-called conservative influencers are getting worse than Democrats these days
Springsteen, Einstein, Isaac Newton and the ironic limits of genius
While Bruce Springsteen isn’t a scientist or a mathematician and is not likely to develop any grand theories of space or time, he appears to have developed a similar flaw in his thinking late in his career. Sir Isaac Newton was both one of the world’s most brilliant physicists and a devout Christian. When he… Continue reading Springsteen, Einstein, Isaac Newton and the ironic limits of genius
Springsteen isn’t a “critical patriot,” he’s a partisan hack, but I love him anyway
For a man who claims to be driven by principle, he has an odd habit, one dating back to the 1980s, of only entering the fray when a Republican is in office, either sleeping through Democrat Presidencies or somehow believing all our problems are solved when we elect a Democrat. “I believe in critical patriotism,”… Continue reading Springsteen isn’t a “critical patriot,” he’s a partisan hack, but I love him anyway
America at 250, why does progressive politics define the lives of so many of our fellow citizens, making them almost completely miserable?
As even Vox.com was honest enough to note, America in 1976 was in a far worse place than today, and yet Americans felt better about the country and the future. Before the results of the 2024 election were known on the evening of November 5, I encouraged everyone to remember their Billy Joel. At the… Continue reading America at 250, why does progressive politics define the lives of so many of our fellow citizens, making them almost completely miserable?
