Debt ceiling winners, losers, and random thoughts on our fiscal future

No one should be under the illusion the debt ceiling deal does anything except increase spending.  Even if Congress follows the terms of the bill, spending will continue to grow every year and total debt will continue to increase with no viable prospect to achieve anything near a balanced budget.  Last week, the Great Debt… Continue reading Debt ceiling winners, losers, and random thoughts on our fiscal future

Corporate America seems intent on committing suicide by woke

Adidas chooses men to model women’s swimwear, Target has Satanists designing Pride apparel and another company pushing children’s swimsuits with different crotches for potential trans kids, and the LA Dodgers invite an anti-Christian drag show to perform before a game.  What are us “normals” missing? These days almost every day brings with it a new… Continue reading Corporate America seems intent on committing suicide by woke

Is there an epidemic of doorbell and driveway shootings we aren’t aware of?

How the media transformed three isolated accidental shootings into a commentary on race and the radical irresponsibility of gun owners in America, creating an entirely new category of ringing doorbells while black and promoting what can only be seen as the confiscation of firearms. The mainstream media, at least exemplified by CNN, is in a… Continue reading Is there an epidemic of doorbell and driveway shootings we aren’t aware of?

The government and the media want a license to lie with impunity

Classified documents reveal the reality of the war in Ukraine to be far different from how it’s described by the administration and the media.  New reporting suggests Ukrainian officials are stealing hundreds of millions of dollars and purchasing fuel from their enemy.  The government and the media ignore all this, however, and focus exclusively on… Continue reading The government and the media want a license to lie with impunity

No, pollution isn’t racist and it’s hard to believe one even needs to say it

Progressives have convinced themselves that the specter of racism and white supremacy is critical to achieving their longstanding goal of increased government power, and therefore they need to find racism everywhere, even in the air itself. Sometimes, it never ceases to amaze how rapid and coordinated the progressive push to proclaim everything is racist, or… Continue reading No, pollution isn’t racist and it’s hard to believe one even needs to say it

The State of Trump and the Republican Race

The former President remains the top choice of Republican voters, especially among voters of color, despite threats of indictments and something of an establishment conservative rally around Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, complete with a rewriting of coronavirus history.  The race will come down to these two men and where it ends nobody knows… After Republicans… Continue reading The State of Trump and the Republican Race

In Ukraine and elsewhere, our enemies perceive only failure and the lessons of Teddy Roosevelt’s big stick diplomacy

President Biden and the mainstream media can trumpet the supposed success of our intense diplomacy all they like, but Russia remains in Ukraine and has no plans to end the war anytime soon.  Teddy Roosevelt forged a different, far more successful path in his first showdown with a foreign power, preferring secret talks to public… Continue reading In Ukraine and elsewhere, our enemies perceive only failure and the lessons of Teddy Roosevelt’s big stick diplomacy

Lies, lies, and more lies are not the foundation for a functioning democracy

From January 6th to the pandemic with Senator John Fetterman in between, the narratives promoted by the government, political, and media establishments are devolving into lies and falsehoods.  Anyone who claims to care about democracy should care about this… Earlier this week, Fox News’ Tucker Carlson began releasing video footage from inside the Capitol Building… Continue reading Lies, lies, and more lies are not the foundation for a functioning democracy

Dilbert is done, but let’s not pretend Scott Adams wasn’t reacting to a disturbing development

The media would rather shoot the messenger, however inartful or incendiary, than acknowledge the troubling reality that race relations in the United States have gotten far worse since Critical Race Theory, intersectionality, and the woke mentality went mainstream ten years ago. Last week the creator of Dilbert, a popular comic strip skewering life in the… Continue reading Dilbert is done, but let’s not pretend Scott Adams wasn’t reacting to a disturbing development

Bursting Biden’s Balloon

The Great Balloon Panic of 2023 has mysteriously ended with no explanation for our actions, no details from the administration, and no curiosity from the media whatsoever about why the United States military might have fired a missile at a $12 amateur balloon. It’s been over a week since the US military shot down an… Continue reading Bursting Biden’s Balloon
