Biden’s foreign policy is so bad, even CNN can barely spin it anymore

The President appeared before the UN General Assembly to brag about himself and lie about a peace plan for the Middle East that his own Administration has scrapped. Even worse, the Administration admits that despite months of effort, there is no Plan B and no way forward from here to end the bloodshed. It’s official: … Continue reading Biden’s foreign policy is so bad, even CNN can barely spin it anymore

JD Vance and the Republicans’ ideological revolution

The new Republican Party seeks to shift the balance of our interests shifts from abstract American ideals to the practical impact on every day Americans, America as a country like any other, with her own interests, rather than as some easily manipulated metaphor for democracy or human progress.  The same way we can rarely tell… Continue reading JD Vance and the Republicans’ ideological revolution

No, Biden cannot drop out of the race and remain President

The very idea of changing candidates at this late date displays either an amazing amount of wishful thinking or a bizarre denial of reality, perhaps some combination of the two, but whatever they may think, the inevitable will occur and the topic will quickly change to how he can remain in office under these circumstances,… Continue reading No, Biden cannot drop out of the race and remain President

Biden’s awful interview with Time Magazine and the media’s desperate attempt to resuscitate a dying Presidency

The media will try, but you cannot reconcile a “man who has lived history,” “one of advancing age and broad experience” who can only converse in a “sometimes scattershot way.”  A President with a “stiff gait, muffled voice, and fitful syntax” that holds “fast to a vision that has reigned since World War II, in… Continue reading Biden’s awful interview with Time Magazine and the media’s desperate attempt to resuscitate a dying Presidency

Israel: The stain of abstaining at the UN pleases no one

If the President thinks this is a genocide, say it and demand a change in course.  If he thinks it’s a just war, but he has a better idea how to fight it, say it. Voting present simply isn’t an option anymore. Earlier this week, the United Nations Security Council passed a resolution calling for… Continue reading Israel: The stain of abstaining at the UN pleases no one

2024 might make 2020 seem like an ordinary year

2024 will be defined by a confluence of events most of which remain completely unpredictable, far more so than most years in modern memory.  Call it the quantum mechanics or Schrödinger’s cat of years, where we will not know what happens until the waveforms collapse into history. 2020 was considered an extraordinary dumpster fire of… Continue reading 2024 might make 2020 seem like an ordinary year

Academia is irredeemably racist, hopelessly ignorant, and must be defunded immediately

Boston University’s Ibram X. Kendi, Harvard’s Claudine Gay, and others reveal their inherent racism and ignorance with almost every single nonsensical statement they make. Would you rather be a Jewish white person in Palestine or a Muslim brown person in my majority white, decidedly middle class hometown of Hazlet, NJ?  “Whiteness prevents white people from… Continue reading Academia is irredeemably racist, hopelessly ignorant, and must be defunded immediately

TikTok, Republicans, and their inability to understand the nature of political power

Today’s establishment minded Republicans are fond of placing what they perceive to be important principles over common sense, transforming their positions into a classic suicide pact. History provides a better guide to a be a successful GOP President. There’s no doubt the second Republican debate was a disorganized mess, marred by poor moderation, worse questions,… Continue reading TikTok, Republicans, and their inability to understand the nature of political power

The magic of India, the world’s largest country and democracy, home of some of the world’s oldest languages

There are few places on Earth where you can arrive in the wrong city in the middle of the night and still find a nice hotel room and a hot meal in less than twenty minutes.  India is one of them and much, much more. After well over 20 hours of travel, I arrived in India… Continue reading The magic of India, the world’s largest country and democracy, home of some of the world’s oldest languages
