Since when do progressives give the slightest shit about high oil prices?

Despite calling for higher prices for years, we’re supposed to believe that progressives had a recent epiphany or at least that’s what they would like you to think if you happen to have the memory of a gold fish.  In one of those ironies that so frequently seem to define the modern world, Yahoo Finance… Continue reading Since when do progressives give the slightest shit about high oil prices?

Democrats are doubling down on illegal immigration to their own detriment because they are terrified of their own voters

Illegal Immigration

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

Is “The Battle of Minneapolis” really the right place for children?

battle of minneapolis

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?

Reminder: Progressives do not get to decide what’s right and wrong, and other lessons from Jackson’s handling of the first nullification crisis

Andrew Jackson

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

A modest proposal: Is it time to bring back the Darwin Awards?

Darwin Awards

If you set aside the politics, picking up a flashbang grenade in attempt to throw it at law enforcement officers, begging them to shoot you, driving cars into them, and putting your hands on them while packing heat are decidedly not smart things to do. Let me start by saying in no uncertain terms that… Continue reading A modest proposal: Is it time to bring back the Darwin Awards?

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

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

Reminder: Progressives hate Sydney Sweeney simply because she appeared in a clothing ad and all they have is hate for any disagreement, real or even perceived

While Ms. Sweeney might be an unlikely avatar for our increasingly illiberal and insane times, an avatar of the left’s hate and endless outrage, she certainly is.  Indeed, the absurdity of the whole situation only helps illustrate the point. Last week, Sydney Sweeney made news once again when detractors objected to her choice of clothing… Continue reading Reminder: Progressives hate Sydney Sweeney simply because she appeared in a clothing ad and all they have is hate for any disagreement, real or even perceived
