The world’s only one man media empire
We have two choices when the Democrats and the media assert President Donald Trump’s actions are unprecedented in anything other than the pace, volume, and effectiveness. Either they truly believe the world began on January 20, 2025, or they think you are stupid enough to believe so yourself. To hear Democrats, progressives, and their allies… Continue reading No, the world didn’t begin on January 20 when President Trump retook office
Over the past week, following the Senate’s passage of the first rescission bill and the Supreme Court’s tacit approval of President Trump’s proposed reorganization of several federal agencies, we finally have some real data about the extent of these cuts and they are meaningful. Before the Big Beautiful Bill was signed into law on the… Continue reading Yes, President Trump’s cuts to the government are real and they are just the beginning
There has never been a partnership like the world’s most powerful and world’s richest man seemingly attached at the hip, neither of whom can be intimidated by anyone, under any circumstances, and whom the establishment has absolutely no power or control over. I’ll admit: The sight of the world’s most powerful and world’s richest… Continue reading The Elon Musk Factor shouldn’t be underestimated in Trump’s second term

All that’s missing is the will to do it the Coolidge way, cutting everywhere you can and… Continue reading Taming the budget the Calvin Coolidge way
There is no doubt that the size and scope of government has changed since the Founding, but a more expansive government requires even more transparency, oversight, and accountability in order to function properly. A return to regular order is just the beginning of reforms to ensure the elusive good governance. Last week, much ink was… Continue reading Defining good governance in the modern era beyond spending money
Apparently, the bipartisan effort is hostage to a secondary, entirely partisan effort, and changes to the partisan effort, even by the party pushing that same partisan effort, undermine the bipartisan one. Are you following? If you care about democratic norms, this is your moment... It was finally infrastructure week in Washington, DC when 19 clueless… Continue reading The Infrastructure Scam: Clueless Republicans and increasingly radical Democrats make for a toxic mix
Not surprising, when he plans to spend enough per household to buy every family in the country a new BMW every year, and accrue enough debt for a new Ferrari after 10 years. What’s not to like about doubling the size of the government from just before the pandemic? It’s historic and just what the… Continue reading Biden hopes his bloated budget passes without notice
