The world’s only one man media empire
In his second term alone, there have been panicked freakouts about his plans to trim the size of government, tariffs, other taxes, military strikes, and more. While this time might be different, I wouldn’t bet against the President. While I have no special ability to foresee the future and am well aware that past results… Continue reading Reminder: The media and the experts always predict disaster when Trump is involved
For a savvy politician, the disconnect between what voters want on illegal immigration and how the President is addressing that want is an opportunity to agree with the principle while bemoaning the practice, but Democrats cannot bring themselves to take advantage. To a rational adult, two things can be true simultaneously. It is possible to… Continue reading Democrats are doubling down on illegal immigration to their own detriment because they are terrified of their own voters
While this speech, nor any speech, is likely to be remembered in an age of short attention spans, the President did two things that could matter by tying his policies to individual people and positioning the Democrats as anti-American rather than merely anti-Trump. On Tuesday night, President Donald Trump delivered an effective if not truly… Continue reading Trump’s State of the Union and the two things that might matter in the days ahead
Last week he launched TrumpRx.com. If you were to ask me to trade his accomplishments – many like revitalizing the Monroe Doctrine or being instrumental in overturning Roe Vs. Wade that I had only previously dreamed of – for less boorish and at times offensive behavior, I’d take the accomplishments every single time. Whether you… Continue reading Trump is simply an another level than other politicians, love him or hate him, for better or worse
Last summer, Democrats called for blood and began training “warriors” to resist ICE. Last week, there was yet another tragic instance of actual blood, blood that was immediately seized upon as leverage to enact their preferred policy of ending deportations. In our system of government, the minority party generally seeks leverage to influence events. Lacking… Continue reading Violence is the Democrat strategy and their only hope for leverage
Progressives are betting entirely on hatred of the President and a disaster of any kind, but what if that disaster never occurs? While it is normal for the opposition party to oppose, I don’t think many would argue that opposition to President Trump is on an entirely different level than anything we have seen… Continue reading Democrats are all in against President Trump, but they might find themselves boxed in later this year
The border is secure, the government has been slashed, tariffs are in place, Most Favored Nation status has been achieved with major brands, and the Big Beautiful Bill is law. That leaves only two questions that matter: Will this work and will Americans feel the positive impacts in time for the midterms? Last week, President… Continue reading The clock is ticking on the economy, but there are certainly positive signs as the new year rolls in
Progressives ignored high prices for years, mocked those who worried about inflation, and for decades have waged a war on consumerism, but suddenly, we’re supposed to believe the American Dream is measured in cheap plastic dolls. Over the past several weeks, President Donald Trump has been heavily criticized from the left and some on the… Continue reading Trump, the affordability scam, and the truth that we buy too much junk
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
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?
