The progressive war on fun and those who are having it

From endless protests and outrage to personal crying and venting on social media, progressives aren’t having any fun in this political climate, as in so long as President Trump remains in office, and they don’t want you to do so either. It’s no secret that progressives are miserable, veering from outrage to depression with a… Continue reading The progressive war on fun and those who are having it

No, I don’t need some scold’s permission to love boobs and other recent misadventures in thought control, media, and advertising

When was the last time you saw an ad for an automobile featuring a dirty, dinged up car parked in some equally trash strewn and crowded garage, even though that’s what happens to the great majority of cars in the real world? Last week, I noted that the recent controversy over Sydney Sweeney’s appearance in… Continue reading No, I don’t need some scold’s permission to love boobs and other recent misadventures in thought control, media, and advertising

Trump, tariffs, and my conservative principles

As President Trump proceeds with his tariff policy and an appeals court prepares a ruling on whether that policy is lawful in the first place, some are claiming that tariffs fundamentally violate various conservative economic and Constitutional principles. As President Donald Trump proceeds with phase two of his tariff policy and an appeals court prepares… Continue reading Trump, tariffs, and my conservative principles

Yes, President Trump’s cuts to the government are real and they are just the beginning

Over the past week, following the Senate’s passage of the first rescission bill and the Supreme Court’s tacit approval of President Trump’s proposed reorganization of several federal agencies, we finally have some real data about the extent of these cuts and they are meaningful. Before the Big Beautiful Bill was signed into law on the… Continue reading Yes, President Trump’s cuts to the government are real and they are just the beginning

Unpopular opinion: Democrats will regret not supporting any part of the Big Beautiful Bill

Whatever becomes of Medicaid, every restaurant and service worker, every cop, every firefighter, every cashier, almost every union member, everyone who has recently had a child and will have one for the next three years, the great majority of seniors, and even upper middle class people in high tax states, will receive some benefit from… Continue reading Unpopular opinion: Democrats will regret not supporting any part of the Big Beautiful Bill

How stupid do Democrats and their enablers in the mainstream media think we are?

Last week, CNN claimed that Iran was essentially closer to building a bomb than they were before the strikes. Last month, they told us store shelves would be empty by now. Clearly, they do not believe we are capable of remembering what was said less than a week ago or considering the veracity of their… Continue reading How stupid do Democrats and their enablers in the mainstream media think we are?

The strike on Iran, the importance of historical context, and the use of overwhelming force

We have reason to be concerned about the risks of unintended consequences, but we shouldn’t ignore the historical context either, pretending like most Democrats and much of the mainstream media that this conflict somehow sprung into existence with Israel’s air campaign barely ten days ago.  There is no doubt that President Donald Trump’s decision to… Continue reading The strike on Iran, the importance of historical context, and the use of overwhelming force

Can someone, anyone explain why President Trump would go to war with Iran at this point?

Somehow, he has achieved what would make the greatest foreign policy practitioner in Presidential history, Teddy Roosevelt blush:  He’s taking credit for a war complete with making demands of the currently losing side without directly prosecuting it.  As inevitable as the sun coming up in the morning, war hysteria appears to be gripping Washington in… Continue reading Can someone, anyone explain why President Trump would go to war with Iran at this point?

The Iranian Gamble

Military conflict is never without risk, but if the media was championing our ability to prevent Iran from striking last year, why are they not doing so now and why are mainstream outlets seemingly silent on the role other Arab nations are playing and how it seems the overall tide in the region is rapidly… Continue reading The Iranian Gamble

A new week means a new leader of The Resistance, but resistance remains futile

Beyond relying on entirely recycled rhetoric, all that’s missing from Governor Gavin Newsom and the musical chairs contenders to the throne is an actual means to stop President Trump from doing anything.  For all the bold talk, every single one of these individuals is entirely powerless. After immigration enforcement protests in Los Angeles rapidly descended… Continue reading A new week means a new leader of The Resistance, but resistance remains futile
