Trump’s brilliantly subversive Cabinet picks and the scandal that should be currently engulfing FEMA

The insistence that President Trump’s primary goal is to take some kind of vengeance on his enemies is only possible if you ignore a mounting body of evidence that all isn’t well with the government, particularly at the leadership level. Shortly before the election, Republicans accused the Biden-Harris administration of political discrimination after two devastating… Continue reading Trump’s brilliantly subversive Cabinet picks and the scandal that should be currently engulfing FEMA

Donald Trump and the greatest, most improbable political story ever told

The Butterfly Effect encapsulates how small changes in variables lead to big changes in outcome.  History is the Butterfly Effect written into human affairs, but it is even harder to untangle than math or physics. Who’d have believed a once and future President making an announcement after coming down a golden escalator would lead to… Continue reading Donald Trump and the greatest, most improbable political story ever told

Trump stands alone in a historic victory unlike any other, an unstoppable force emerging more powerful than ever

For all the talk of having a front row to history, this is what it really looks like in action.  I used to believe there was no crazier son of a bitch to occupy the Oval Office than Teddy Roosevelt, no greater unstoppable force, but the Bull Moose might have just been taken down a… Continue reading Trump stands alone in a historic victory unlike any other, an unstoppable force emerging more powerful than ever

Harris has nothing on Trump and everyone knows it

While former President Donald Trump might not prevail next week, we can say with surety that the hope, the joy, the vibes, the brat, and everything else that was supposed to propel Vice President Kamala Harris to victory has faded, to be replaced by what can best be summarized as Orange Man Bad. Rather incredibly… Continue reading Harris has nothing on Trump and everyone knows it

A Ferrari in every driveway and a Rolex on every wrist

In the real world, everyone instinctively knows this is impossible, that you cannot subsidize your way to rich, all while embracing the Toyota and Timex equivalent.  Why?  To the extent Vice President Kamala Harris has an economic policy, it can perhaps best be summarized as a continuation of President Joe Biden’s subsidize everything approach, where… Continue reading A Ferrari in every driveway and a Rolex on every wrist

A civil debate, but not for the reasons many think

In a wise strategic decision for both campaigns, Governor Walz focused almost exclusively on former President Trump’s unfitness for office and Senator Vance presented a calm, compelling, and rational case for President Trump without the usual bombast. Much has been made of the fact that Tuesday’s Vice Presidential debate between Senator JD Vance and Governor… Continue reading A civil debate, but not for the reasons many think

Biden and Harris have turned the United States into an incompetent bystander in world affairs 

Much of the recent focus has been on Israel for obvious reasons, but no one listens to us anymore. From Iran to Russia to China to even potentially close allies like India, we watch as the world burns and global power realigns. Last week, Israel shocked the world by executing a massive aerial bombardment on… Continue reading Biden and Harris have turned the United States into an incompetent bystander in world affairs 

Biden’s foreign policy is so bad, even CNN can barely spin it anymore

The President appeared before the UN General Assembly to brag about himself and lie about a peace plan for the Middle East that his own Administration has scrapped. Even worse, the Administration admits that despite months of effort, there is no Plan B and no way forward from here to end the bloodshed. It’s official: … Continue reading Biden’s foreign policy is so bad, even CNN can barely spin it anymore

Donald Trump and the law of diminishing returns

As pundits ponder the resiliency of a former President they despise, they’d do well to consider that people become dulled to controversies, real and imagined,  and the accompanying rhetoric, causing both to lose their potency.  There are few politicians, especially in recent memory, who have been denigrated as aggressively and hyperbolically as President Trump.  Lately,… Continue reading Donald Trump and the law of diminishing returns

A debate in the eye of the beholder

Fortunately for former President Donald Trump and his supporters, Presidential Debates are not won on points, indeed they aren’t really won or lost at all given the only score that matters is the final tally on election day itself. If Presidential Debates were scored by collegiate rules, Vice President Harris won Tuesday’s contest against Donald… Continue reading A debate in the eye of the beholder
