The world’s only one man media empire
There doesn’t seem to be a single element of the status quo the President finds acceptable and whenever he happens to determine something is unacceptable, he has not hesitated to put his entire Presidency and its ultimately legacy on the line. In some other universe, Donald Trump retook office on January 20, 2025 and proceeded… Continue reading The ridiculous audacity of Donald Trump
If you don’t want more and aren’t worried about losing what you have, either you have nothing and aren’t aware there is anything, you have everything and there’s nothing left to achieve, or you’re dead. Midway upon the journey of our life I found myself within a forest dark, For the straightforward pathway had been lost.” So… Continue reading Reflections on turning 50, when you’re not exactly Dante from the Inferno in a dark wood
Pride in America has fallen to staggeringly low levels among Democrats, who lash out at everything including the gold-winning USA hockey team because politics has become their one and only obsession. For me at least, there has to be another way. On Sunday, the US men’s hockey team won the Olympic gold medal for the… Continue reading The Olympics, the progressive obsession with politics above all else, and my own obsession with Bruce Springsteen
At least according to CNN, the answer is yes after they glowingly described the efforts of a sixteen and a seventeen year old from Chicago willing to take any risk for the anti-ICE cause. According to Democrats and their progressive allies, Minneapolis is a war zone, the site of a classic struggle between good and… Continue reading Is “The Battle of Minneapolis” really the right place for children?
This isn’t the first time Springsteen has turned to music in the wake of an American killed by law enforcement or the first time he’s sung about immigration issues. Sadly, he has done so with far better results than his current effort. Let me start by saying that I practically worship Bruce Springsteen. I’ve seen… Continue reading Springsteen’s “Streets of Minneapolis” is a case study in Trump Derangement Syndrome
America has already had this argument and it has already been soundly rejected, legally and at the bloody point of a gun during the Civil War. In fact, three decades before the war itself, President Andrew Jackson confronted this very same thinking during the first nullification crisis. To hear Democrats and their progressive allies tell… Continue reading Reminder: Progressives do not get to decide what’s right and wrong, and other lessons from Jackson’s handling of the first nullification crisis
It’s hard to believe we are less than six months from the targeted assassination of Charlie Kirk. Back then, turning down the rhetoric was all the rage, but now everyone loves the smell of napalm in the morning. “I love the smell of napalm in the morning,” exclaims Lieutenant Bill Kilgore in Apocalypse Now as… Continue reading Progressives go full Apocalypse Now
While politics ain’t beanbag as they say, if you are going to go so hardcore that you demand blood and insist people get shot for the cause, you better be sure it’s going to work. Earlier this week, I opined that the Democrat’s political strategy was to foment violence and it was the only leverage… Continue reading Violence is rarely a good strategy, but it’s even worse when facing President Trump
To the young, all is new. They’re on the ride for the first time, making it near impossible to understand what it will feel like for the fiftieth. To the old, the belief that we’ve seen it all before settles in along with the feeling that nothing can surprise us anymore. It’s a bizarre irony… Continue reading The more the holidays change, the more they stay the same even in a world where change is the only constant
A functioning republic requires real opposition, asking real questions and demanding real answers. Outrage on its own, recycled forever, in the same form as if it was spat out of a computer, is a threat to the future. At this point, we know the cycle better than we’d like. In what we can only call… Continue reading The ChatGPT Resistance is a danger to the country, from the cartel boat strikes to Venezuela, outrage isn’t enough
