The world’s only one man media empire
For years, the media has assumed that demography is destiny, that a more diversified country would lead to an ascendant Democrat Party while reducing Republicans to an ineffectual rump. President Trump has proven them completely, catastrophically wrong, doing what they would have said was impossible. After President Donald Trump’s stunning victory last year, I described… Continue reading Trump’s electoral triumph is even more astounding than previously thought, or so says the New York Times
“In recent years, far too many American presidents have been afflicted with the notion that it’s our job to look into the souls of foreign leaders and use US policy to dispense justice for their sins…I believe it is God’s job to sit in judgment; my job, to defend America and to promote the fundamental… Continue reading Trump triumphs in the Middle East, completely upending decades of failed foreign policy and securing billions in new deals
The great majority of what Democrats claim today, the issues they suddenly consider of the utmost importance, were either ignored or outright lied about throughout recent history beginning with the mental capabilities of President Biden himself, what we might consider the original sin from which all loss of credibility flows. While the opposition party opposes… Continue reading Why Democrats and progressives can’t be taken seriously under any circumstances
Those who are convinced we cannot make things in America anymore have conveniently forgotten the recent history of the pandemic, where we invented a new vaccine, produced hundreds of millions of doses along with hundreds of thousands of ventilators and millions of other medical devices in a few months. There are plenty of reasons… Continue reading Tariffs, our selective amnesia, and the total failure of American imagination
While you wouldn’t know it from the collective outrage visited upon us daily, between 2011 and 2013, total federal spending fell from $3.6 trillion to $3.45 trillion, but then as now, many predicted disasters that simply didn’t happen. As is so often the case in our increasingly absurdist times, the conventional wisdom holds that all… Continue reading Reminder: President Obama cut spending over 4% in 2012 and 2013, but the world didn’t end, despite claims we were heading over the cliff without brakes
No piece of paper can fully commit a country to war on behalf of another. Rather than lecturing President Trump, President Zelensky should have read his George Washington, accepting that strong commercial relations are the foundation for mutual defense, not words on a page. Whether you love President Donald Trump or hate him, the simple,… Continue reading Trump, Zelensky, the reality that there are no guarantees in life, and other lessons from a disastrous meeting in the Oval Office that shouldn’t have been
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
President Trump has an opportunity to deliver on his promises that he didn’t have in 2016. The world is watching and more people than ever, from average Americans to world leaders and business tycoons, are rooting for him. If you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em. The old expression appears to capture a willingness to embrace… Continue reading Trump’s victory has completely shifted the political and cultural landscape, making him more popular than ever
The silly season ended yesterday, but the only way she can win is to hope it continues through the election. Those hailing her meteoric ascension should do well to remember that meteors don’t rise. They fall to Earth, either disappearing in a flash in the atmosphere or causing havoc down below. Perhaps the most stunning… Continue reading Everyone knows Vice President Kamala Harris is awful, just like President Joe Biden before her
Why would any rational human being planning a political campaign believe people outside the Democrat bubble are feeling anything resembling joy? This is joy as some kind of mass delusion or projection, a mind virus rather than a serious political movement. Previously, I have opined that describing political matters as joyous or infused with joy… Continue reading This new “politics of joy” is extremely weird
