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

Christian TwisteLeave a comment

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

Mitch McConnell has officially lost it, slamming his own party while repeating Democrat talking points

Christian TwisteLeave a comment

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

Biden’s third war in three years makes this the worst foreign policy ever

Christian Twiste2 Comments

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

Where there’s the smoke of scandal, there’s the fire of corruption except for President Biden

Christian TwisteLeave a comment

Under normal circumstances, a politician repeatedly lying about something, forget abruptly changing policies on his own, would suggest – at a minimum – they have something to hide, but somehow, for some unstated reason, none of that is supposed to apply to President Biden. President Joe Biden’s supporters have adopted a curiously obtuse perspective, one… Continue reading Where there’s the smoke of scandal, there’s the fire of corruption except for President Biden

Democrats are completely failing the Trump Test and losing all credibility as a result

Christian TwisteLeave a comment

Anyone protecting President Joe Biden from the revelations detailed in FD-1023 and the first hand allegations of a massive bribery scheme by a Confidential Human Source in Ukraine cannot be taken seriously as an arbiter of right and wrong. Early in Joe Biden’s Presidency, I urged Democrats to take the “Trump Test,” that is to… Continue reading Democrats are completely failing the Trump Test and losing all credibility as a result

Former President Barack Obama is profoundly political and completely wrong

Christian Twiste1 Comment

The former President enters the book banning debate not by highlighting the troubling trend of retroactively editing classics for progressive political reasons, the presence of borderline pornography in schools, his party’s censorship crusade, or even defending a single book that was unfairly targeted by conservatives in his opinion. Last week, former President Barack Obama wrote… Continue reading Former President Barack Obama is profoundly political and completely wrong

No, the government cannot compel speech for any reason

Christian Twiste2 Comments

Does anyone really want to live in a world where you can be forced to create something against your conscience for any reason?  Last week, progressives were appalled when the Supreme Court ruled that a Colorado law could not force a Christian website designer to develop a site that promotes gay marriage.   The decision… Continue reading No, the government cannot compel speech for any reason

Iraq: Anyone who doesn’t regret supporting the war is delusional, stupid, or lying

Christian TwisteLeave a comment

The Iraq War was by any definition a failure at all its stated goals, costing far more in blood, treasure, and time than expected, empowering our enemies, and failing to build a stable democracy and long term ally in a worn torn region, but there are some who still insist we should do it all… Continue reading Iraq: Anyone who doesn’t regret supporting the war is delusional, stupid, or lying

Trump take three and why millions still support him

Christian TwisteLeave a comment

As the polarizing former President announces his third consecutive bid for the White House, it’s worth considering the difference between political theory and practice.  In theory, we shouldn’t be talking about Trump at all.  In practice, he continues to dominate the political stage like no other. Donald Trump is the political difference between theory and… Continue reading Trump take three and why millions still support him

The bloodbath that wasn’t and the baffling return of regional politics

Christian TwisteLeave a comment

Votes remain to be counted, but it’s clear the Republicans had a disappointing night, failing to capitalize on voter discontent and underperforming in key states like Pennsylvania and New Hampshire.  At the same time, they were in the baffling positioning of over performing in other key states including Florida and Ohio.  The question is why.… Continue reading The bloodbath that wasn’t and the baffling return of regional politics
