The world’s only one man media empire
The Kremlin is richer than ever after two years of crippling sanctions, Ukraine is losing on the battlefield despite spending well upwards of a $100 billion, and Putin just assassinated his topic critic after the United States threatened devastating consequences. If this is winning as President Biden and the mainstream media keep telling us, what… Continue reading Biden’s Russia policy is a complete failure, Russia is richer than ever and Putin kills with impunity
Academics would have us believe that Joe Biden – who was recently deemed mentally incompetent by his own Justice Department – has made a better president than the likes of Ronald Reagan, Ulysses S. Grant, and James Monroe, not to mention Andrew freaking Jackson? Late last year, the “2024 Presidential Greatness Project Expert Survey” was… Continue reading Ranking presidential “greatness” and the intellectual bankruptcy of the academic establishment
One of the most ironic things about getting older is that, mentally at least, you rarely feel your own age. Your body might be well past your middle years, but in your head you’re still a teenager. This fiction is far easier to keep when your parents are still alive because no matter how old… Continue reading Bruce Springsteen, the passing of his mother, his impromptu 63rd birthday party in 2012, and becoming the elder generation
Like Bidenomics before it, the vibecession rests on two false assumptions, first that the economy is either the best ever or the worst ever, and second that declining inflation means declining prices. Besides, if the economy is so good, why is everyone saying the American dream is dead? Following the failure of “Bidenomics” to change people’s… Continue reading The “vibecession,” the truth about the economy, and the resilience of the American dream
Remember when the Tea Party movement that formed under President Barack Obama was maligned as a racist haven for white supremacy by many of the same people who are now studiously avoiding a discussion of the rampant antisemitism in their midst? In principle, it is possible to be a supporter of Palestine without being an… Continue reading Palestine, Hamas, Israel, and antisemitism: Good faith is hard to find
My view is simple: October 7 changed everything, Hamas needs to be destroyed, and an invasion, which will necessarily be brutal and bloody, is the only means to do that. Someone, somewhere might have a superior plan that would achieve the same objective with less loss of life. It would be helpful, however, if they… Continue reading A few honest questions for supporters of Palestine
Ohio’s recent trust in Republicans doesn’t extend to the abortion issue. Virginia might like and trust Governor Youngkin himself, but they have no faith in an empowered Republican Party. Kentucky, meanwhile, placed its trust in Republicans, only to watch them completely botch critical tax policy. The Republican Party didn’t have the best night last Tuesday,… Continue reading Off year elections: The current political stalemate amid massive polarization is a matter of trust
The Secretary of State admitted that Hamas uses their own people as human shields and doesn’t care about their well being, but fails to explain how Israel can minimize civilian casualties when their enemy wants to maximize them, much less how a “humanitarian pause” would do anything except help Hamas itself. “Hamas doesn’t care one… Continue reading Israel: The Biden Administration appears to understand the dynamics and the stakes, but somehow refuses to accept what that actually means in the real world
The Senator from Kentucky recently endorsed the idea that war is actually stimulus, bomb someone half a world away to make more bombs here at home, perhaps the most cynical and reprehensible framing in decades. In doing so, he’s opposing the newly minted Speaker of the House and taking other unwarranted shots at his fellow… Continue reading Mitch McConnell has officially lost it, slamming his own party while repeating Democrat talking points
At every turn, President Biden has chosen a path that prioritizes talk over action, believing that countries saying they are for something is the same as actually achieving that something, and has failed to deliver actual progress while the world continues to burn. This weekend, President Joseph R. Biden, Jr. completed a tragic trifecta the… Continue reading Biden’s third war in three years makes this the worst foreign policy ever
