While we might like to believe there are rules to the great game, there are none except doing everything possible to advance your own and your party’s power. Earlier this week, President Donald Trump posted an AI-generated image of himself as a religious figure healing the sick. He was dressed in robes with glowing hands,… Continue reading Trump, Swalwell, and shamelessness as a political super power

The MAGA split over Iran is real for now, but not necessarily forever
Some might insist the media has been wrong time and time again, there’s no risk of a permanent break happening now. To me at least, that is a misguided perspective. Because something hasn’t happened, does not mean it will not happen. While some prefer to cling to nonsensical polls insisting 100% of President Donald Trump’s… Continue reading The MAGA split over Iran is real for now, but not necessarily forever
Reminder: The media and the experts always predict disaster when Trump is involved
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
Democrats are doubling down on illegal immigration to their own detriment because they are terrified of their own voters
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
Trump’s State of the Union and the two things that might matter in the days ahead
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
Trump is simply an another level than other politicians, love him or hate him, for better or worse
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
Violence is the Democrat strategy and their only hope for leverage
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
Democrats are all in against President Trump, but they might find themselves boxed in later this year
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 clock is ticking on the economy, but there are certainly positive signs as the new year rolls in
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
Trump, the affordability scam, and the truth that we buy too much junk
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
