The world’s only one man media empire
As a general rule, at least some policies are going to have a neutral impact if only because they are ineffective, not everything is going to be illegal or unconstitutional, and the worst possible political and other outcome isn’t going to happen in every situation. While it’s traditional for the opposition party to oppose, I… Continue reading The Orange Man Bad Theory of Everything
“If you look at popular culture, like, you watch, you know, A Few Good Men, like we have plenty of examples since World War II, in Vietnam, where people were told to follow illegal orders, and they did it, and they were prosecuted for it,” Senator Elissa Slotkin thinks she’s Tom Cruise confronting Jack Nicholson.… Continue reading Democrats can’t handle the truth on illegal orders
Should a minority party be able to shutter the government and by their own admission, cause widespread suffering because of a tool some have claimed is a relic of slavery, especially when the nature of that tool has changed dramatically? Generally speaking, I am a fan of the filibuster. While the mainstream media and President… Continue reading Is it time to nuke the filibuster from orbit and let partisan politics sort it out?
Rather than acting like adults who have encountered a disagreement and making adjustments, a progressive columnists accuses his own side of lashing out like children, blaming them for their beliefs, claiming they are “irrational” and “unacceptable.” It’s become something of a catechism in progressive circles: The Republican Party, particularly under President Donald Trump, has moved… Continue reading Did a progressive finally admit Democrats have moved too far left for their own good?
The media and social media is in an uproar about the government shutdown, handicapping which party will prevail while the parties themselves play the usual blame game even as it is unclear the average person has noticed a thing so far. As the Associated Press characterized it on Friday morning, “Hopes for a quick end… Continue reading If a government shuts down in the forest over healthcare and illegal aliens…
“I don’t care if it’s a dollar or a billion-dollar stake,” Republican Senator Thom Tillis protested. “That starts feeling like a semi state-owned enterprise à la CCCP,” he added, referring to the old acronym for the USSR. “I don’t believe the U.S. government should be picking winners and losers.” President Donald Trump’s almost unprecedented decision… Continue reading Trump’s stake in Intel and the free market fantasy
While we might forgive politicians for a little politicking, it’s more than a little ironic for Democrats to abandon a core tenet of their philosophy and pretend higher taxes haven’t been a long term goal. On December 1, 2010, Alan Simpson and Erskine Bowles concluded President Barack Obama’s National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform… Continue reading Reminder: Democrats should love tariffs because they have wanted to raise taxes for years
Beyond relying on entirely recycled rhetoric, all that’s missing from Governor Gavin Newsom and the musical chairs contenders to the throne is an actual means to stop President Trump from doing anything. For all the bold talk, every single one of these individuals is entirely powerless. After immigration enforcement protests in Los Angeles rapidly descended… Continue reading A new week means a new leader of The Resistance, but resistance remains futile
What’s the point of prefacing what’s supposed to a celebration of rock and roll, perhaps Mr. Springsteen’s final run considering he will turn 76 later this year, with a political diatribe of largely recycled talking points? Last week, legendary singer, songwriter, and all-around-rocker, Bruce Springsteen chose to open his European “Land of Hope and Dreams”… Continue reading Bruce Springsteen and the now purely performative Resistance
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
