Senator Cory Booker truly is Spartacus for our diminished times, not that he appears to know who Spartacus actually was

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

Why moving fast and breaking things is the ideal governing philosophy for our era

The real questions confronting anyone who wants to reform the government and reduce the deficit are:  Is there some better approach that could be carried out with less “chaos” and are we taking on unnecessary risk by using this philosophy? There are many who support President Trump’s goal of streamlining the federal government to make… Continue reading Why moving fast and breaking things is the ideal governing philosophy for our era

Democrats are caught between the rock that is President Trump and the hard place of their supporters who loathe him

To be successful, politicians need to at least seem like they’re driving the conversation, directly engaged on the issues that matter, either contributing to successes and pointing out failures, but progressives hate the President so much, they will not permit anything except resistance. On Tuesday evening, Democrats faced the age-old dilemma of the party out… Continue reading Democrats are caught between the rock that is President Trump and the hard place of their supporters who loathe him

The email heard around the world

What began as an obvious stunt, turned into a trap when it was revealed intelligence officials have the time to discuss castration on government systems and, apparently, the entire government can be thrown into chaos by a simple request. In the annals of American history, perhaps few things are more emblematic of the absurdity of… Continue reading The email heard around the world

Why I’m all out of compassion for government workers in the wake of the pandemic

Less than four years ago, the unvaccinated were the enemy, killing their fellow citizens, and their rights, their jobs, their families, their homes, their entire lives didn’t matter.  There was no compassion to be found.  No sympathy.  No helping hand.  In many cases, not even unemployment when they were forced from their jobs for no… Continue reading Why I’m all out of compassion for government workers in the wake of the pandemic

The Butterfly Effect Theory of Government Workers

Can firing a bureaucrat in DC cause a plane to crash in Toronto? According to wild new theory being promulgated by progressives and the media, it certainly can. In science, the Butterfly Effect describes how small changes in input can have large changes in output.  As the classic thought experiment goes, a butterfly flapping its… Continue reading The Butterfly Effect Theory of Government Workers

We can’t wait: Trump’s executive power is the same Democrats have been clamoring for and using themselves for decades

Whatever your personal opinion on these matters, progressives have argued for the need to place more and more power in the hands of government agencies, agencies which report to the executive branch and ultimately the President.  Time and again, they told us Congress and the Courts couldn’t do it, but the President had to, except… Continue reading We can’t wait: Trump’s executive power is the same Democrats have been clamoring for and using themselves for decades

The boldest foreign policy vision in a hundred years or more, bar none

If nine out of ten people in the Gaza Strip have lost their homes, and some of those homes might not be rebuilt for more than a decade, even forgetting the rest of the infrastructure required to support a community, where are these people supposed to live in the interim?  In tents?  In the rubble?… Continue reading The boldest foreign policy vision in a hundred years or more, bar none

Advise and consent or rave and rant?  There was no decency or sanity to be had at the Senate’s confirmation hearings

Previously, Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanagh’s hearings in September 2018 were a high, or perhaps, I should say, low water mark in this regard, but we have to give the good Senators credit for outdoing themselves at least. Over the past several decades, Senate confirmation hearings have transformed from staid, boring, if-not-banal formalities into a… Continue reading Advise and consent or rave and rant?  There was no decency or sanity to be had at the Senate’s confirmation hearings

Stuck on Nazi stupid

Democrats and their media allies have decided that President Trump is, at least for now, untouchable, having already survived the onslaught and prospered, but for some reason they believe the same overheated rhetoric, rhetoric that clearly devalues the Holocaust as they claim others are doing, will take down Elon Musk.  If you needed any more… Continue reading Stuck on Nazi stupid
