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

Christian TwisteLeave a comment

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

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

Christian TwisteLeave a comment

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

Trump’s victory has completely shifted the political and cultural landscape, making him more popular than ever

Christian TwisteLeave a comment

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

Everyone knows Vice President Kamala Harris is awful, just like President Joe Biden before her

Christian TwisteLeave a comment

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

This new “politics of joy” is extremely weird

Christian Twiste3 Comments

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

The Democrats and the media are still scared shitless of Trump

Christian Twiste2 Comments

The media wants you to think of the current race as something akin to a prime 2008 Barack Obama battling a beleaguered 2016 Donald Trump.  The one is the candidate of all our hopes, dreams, and aspirations.  The other is completely unhinged, bitter, angry, and unfit. Both are serious cases of projection... “The lady doth… Continue reading The Democrats and the media are still scared shitless of Trump

Democrats are officially the party of chaos and contempt for democracy

Christian TwisteLeave a comment

It’s common for political prognosticators, pundits, and amateurs like myself to rely on historical analogs to explain current events and provide some insight into how the future might unfold, but here, after a sitting President has withdrawn himself as candidate a full month after the primary process has been completed, we have none, because nothing… Continue reading Democrats are officially the party of chaos and contempt for democracy

Can Biden beat the count and make it to the convention?

Christian Twiste2 Comments

While calls for him to exit continue, the Democrat National Convention is barely a month away, beginning on August 19 in Chicago, IL.  To me at least, it is inconceivable that anyone would attempt to swap candidates after this seminal event.  Last Thursday – two short days before the assassination attempt on former President Donald… Continue reading Can Biden beat the count and make it to the convention?

This Fourth of July, the sound you hear might be progressive heads exploding instead of fireworks

Christian TwisteLeave a comment

Yes, it’s been a good week for conservatives, one of the best I can remember since Trump was elected in 2016, and we have much to celebrate tomorrow.  We should not, however, gloat too much or get too cocky.  Teddy Roosevelt’s political kaleidoscope changes fast, in ways we cannot possibly predict.  At the risk of… Continue reading This Fourth of July, the sound you hear might be progressive heads exploding instead of fireworks

Are the Democrats and the mainstream liars or just plain stupid?

Christian TwisteLeave a comment

Ultimately, it doesn’t really matter if they are liars or frauds.  The end result is the same.  The defenders of Democracy are anything but, simply power mad fools who will do anything to get what they want, and almost 50 million people saw for themselves exactly what that looked like last Thursday night. Following President… Continue reading Are the Democrats and the mainstream liars or just plain stupid?
