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

Israel: Ceasefires, humanitarian pauses, and related absurdities including when President Biden will be asked to condemn his own party

Christian TwisteLeave a comment

The New York Times effectively calls for Hamas to apologize on national TV, world governmental bodies have no interest in justice and no means to deal with Hamas, the Biden Administration wants to pause the fighting to resupply the enemy, and no one in the mainstream media wants to talk about the antisemitism rampant in… Continue reading Israel: Ceasefires, humanitarian pauses, and related absurdities including when President Biden will be asked to condemn his own party

Biden’s Trickle Down 2.0

Christian TwisteLeave a comment

The President touted an economic record at the State of the Union address that largely consists of subsidies and contracts paid directly to many of the same large companies he frequently rails against.  These companies will make huge profits and pay executives big money, making it a new incarnation of the much maligned “trickle down”… Continue reading Biden’s Trickle Down 2.0

The curious case of Senator Kyrsten Sinema

Christian TwisteLeave a comment

The Arizona Senator declares her independence from the Democrat Party, claiming partisanship in Washington, DC has run amuck, and yet she expects nothing to change after her announcement.  Progressives may have other plans after this curiously inconsequential development. Last week, Arizona Senator Kyrsten Sinema rocked the political world by announcing she was leaving the Democrat… Continue reading The curious case of Senator Kyrsten Sinema

Coronavirus and abortion: Why can’t we be more like Europe?

Christian TwisteLeave a comment

European countries used to be a beacon for progressives eager to expand social programs and promote “democratic socialism,” but the comparison has fallen out of favor during the pandemic because it’s no longer politically useful.  Europe has taken a more reasonable approach to vaccines, including analyzing their real risks, and abortion than American progressives will… Continue reading Coronavirus and abortion: Why can’t we be more like Europe?

As the midterms are underway, even CNN knows Joe Biden is full of malarkey and always has been

Christian Twiste4 Comments

The midterms were always going to be a referendum on President Biden, and no one should be surprised to learn that the country isn’t enthused with a chronically incompetent, serial liar in the White House.  This is who Joe Biden has always been.  It’s the reason no one wanted him in the first place, and… Continue reading As the midterms are underway, even CNN knows Joe Biden is full of malarkey and always has been

Joe Manchin: Slayer of planets and Democrat dreams all over again

Christian TwisteLeave a comment

Some shows are better in reruns, so it was last week when Senator Joe Manchin stood alone against his own party once again, stopping the insanity of increasing taxes and regulations in a period of rampant inflation and slowing economic growth.  Both are the precise opposite of what economics demands, but Democrats are increasingly unmoored… Continue reading Joe Manchin: Slayer of planets and Democrat dreams all over again

Build Back Better bites the dust, for now at least

Christian Twiste1 Comment

President Biden’s signature progressive legislation fails to attract the 50 votes required for passage in the Senate after months of negotiations.  Progressives are furious, but they should’ve seen this coming all along when the bill was built on gimmicks and cheap accounting tricks with no central message or purpose.  Incredibly, it seems they are only… Continue reading Build Back Better bites the dust, for now at least

Democrats are at war with themselves as progressives push a ridiculous amount of spending against a moderate brick wall

Christian Twiste4 Comments

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi can’t get the votes to pass the bipartisan infrastructure bill, still held hostage to the partisan $3.5 trillion spending spree.  In an embarrassing week, the vote has been delayed twice, Bernie Sanders called to defeat it entirely, and Biden’s entire agenda is on the brink of the abyss.  Isn’t… Continue reading Democrats are at war with themselves as progressives push a ridiculous amount of spending against a moderate brick wall

The megarich refuse to pay their fair share of taxes, sometimes these progressive frauds don’t pay anything at all

Christian TwisteLeave a comment

A new report from ProPublica reveals the outrageous rates of the 25 wealthiest people in the United States. The irony is irresistible: The very same people that demand the wealthy pay more in taxes and promote progressive policies are, in fact, paying barely any taxes. Two questions: Why should we listen to them and what can we… Continue reading The megarich refuse to pay their fair share of taxes, sometimes these progressive frauds don’t pay anything at all
