The world’s only one man media empire
If the government were to subsidize Ferraris for a year, that doesn’t mean the cost of a Ferrari will go up when the subsidies expire. It means the amount of money given to you to purchase a Ferrari went down. If there is a healthcare deal to be had, it cannot simply be to expand… Continue reading No, endless subsidies do not make healthcare or anything else more affordable
In today’s fast pace, media saturated, meme driven world, old school messaging and advertising will not be enough, especially in the face of historical trends. The public, most of the time, craves something different, a fearlessness and a boldness that the old guard is unwilling to deliver, and if Republicans cannot deliver it, they will… Continue reading The post-Trump world isn’t pretty for Republicans, but there’s a lesson from proud socialist and now NYC Mayor Elect Zohran Mamdani
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?
If you aren’t willing to make adjustments, and you aren’t continually grinding it out, day in and day out, week in and week out, month in and year in, you are unlikely to achieve anything except blather. “We have a deal,” President Donald Trump declared after meeting with his Chinese counterpart, President Xi Jinping in… Continue reading Trump’s Asia triumph and the enduring, under appreciated art of constant dealmaking

Partisans can and will spin any argument they want, but the question is which ones the people in the middle actually respond to and the Republicans currently lead Democrats on the vast majority of issues. While it has long been said conservatives and progressives live in two different worlds, the real question is which reality… Continue reading Progressives’ delusions are increasingly at odds with voters’ reality
While some say this more aggressive use of power will come back to haunt us as Democrats regain these same powers and use them in turn, conservatives have already been silenced and punished.

Somehow, progressives didn’t realize losing the Presidency would mean losing their influence over events, or for some even stranger reason, they were under the impression that the man they impeached twice, tried to jail and bankrupt, and called every evil name under the sun would be inclined to take their advice on important matters of… Continue reading Senator Cory Booker truly is Spartacus for our diminished times, not that he appears to know who Spartacus actually was
They also revealed the reality that not a penny of spending is wasted in their eyes, no cuts are possible, and any cut will be deemed a catastrophe.

While calls for him to exit continue, the Democrat National Convention is barely a month away, beginning on August 19 in Chicago, IL.
