The world’s only one man media empire
It’s almost impossible to know where to begin with the sheer multitude of increasingly hysterical claims regarding both the day to day performance of our campaign and the broader economic and geopolitical repercussions, many of which were ridiculous from the start. As the conflict in Iran enters the third week of a shaky ceasefire with… Continue reading Iran: The experts have been wrong about almost everything
While we remain at war, why do the markets seem optimistic about the future when they should be pessimistic in the face of these concerns, and is this an optimism that can last or simply a calm in the storm? Though last weekend’s peace talks in Islamabad, Pakistan failed to produce a deal between the… Continue reading Iran: Is it all over but the crying?
The ceasefire is shaky, but we know this: After what everyone said wouldn’t happen, magically happened, they still concluded that what happened was bad, all without missing a beat. It’s impossible to capture the insanity that President Donald Trump’s detractors attempted to pass off as wisdom over the past five weeks in a single post,… Continue reading Trump, Iran, and the art of the impossible deal
In an ideal world, I would prefer a media that was honest and objective, an opposition that was principled and reasonable, and detractors who could criticize without outright fantasizing. Last Friday, the situation for two US airmen in Iran was dire after their F-15E fighter jet was shot down deep in enemy territory, setting off… Continue reading The Orange Man is so bad, progressives can’t even celebrate the daring rescue of a soldier behind enemy lines
In his second term alone, there have been panicked freakouts about his plans to trim the size of government, tariffs, other taxes, military strikes, and more. While this time might be different, I wouldn’t bet against the President. While I have no special ability to foresee the future and am well aware that past results… Continue reading Reminder: The media and the experts always predict disaster when Trump is involved
Last week, they claimed killing any enemy’s leadership only prolongs a war. On Monday, they claimed the President lied about engaging in talks with Iran. On Tuesday, they insisted we should not have talks at all, pretending Iran is the same now as it was before the war. On Monday, President Donald Trump announced that… Continue reading Iran: As Trump switches into deal making mode, did everyone forget that we’ve been at war for more than three weeks?
The legendary General George S. Patton once quipped, “No dumb bastard ever won a war by going out and dying for his country. He won it by making some other dumb bastard die for his country,” but the experts have suddenly decided otherwise based on at least two false assumptions. On Tuesday, Israel reported that… Continue reading No, killing your enemy’s leadership isn’t a sure fire way to lose a war whatever the experts claim
President George W. Bush galvanized the country by throwing out the first pitch at the World Series in 2001. Contrary to the stunning lack of curiosity among the experts and the mainstream media, the visibility of a country’s leaders matter, especially in a time of war. On October 30, 2001, President George W. Bush galvanized… Continue reading Whether Iran’s new Supreme Leader is dead or alive, injured or healthy, in Iran or Russia, is perhaps the most important unanswered question of the war so far
From the Revolutionary War to World War II, setbacks have been a reality, but perhaps never before has the United States dominated so objectively compared to the naysaying of detractors who are content to repeat Iranian propaganda and prefer to praise the Iranian regime. George Washington has the dubious distinction of having lost more battles… Continue reading Iran: One thing is clear, we better hope we’re never in a war with a real global power because half the country would surrender in a week
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?
