Confessions of a Conservative Atheist
The world’s only one man media empire
Do you want secure borders, less crime, less government, more manufacturing, more energy, more money in your pocket, and more economic growth over all to continue even if gas prices are higher than you would like, or do you want to go back to the malaise that prevailed before he retook office? Contrary to the… Continue reading It’s time for Republicans to get off their ass and make the freaking case for the midterms
It seems we have a choice: We can either let the most successful politician of the last hundred years or more do his thing or we can listen to those who have produced nothing except hot air their entire lives. Last week, President Donald Trump prompted something of a complete and total meltdown among so… Continue reading The President’s $5,000 proposal, his success in four charts, and how so-called conservative influencers are getting worse than Democrats these days
While this speech, nor any speech, is likely to be remembered in an age of short attention spans, the President did two things that could matter by tying his policies to individual people and positioning the Democrats as anti-American rather than merely anti-Trump. On Tuesday night, President Donald Trump delivered an effective if not truly… Continue reading Trump’s State of the Union and the two things that might matter in the days ahead
One narrative holds that Vice President Kamala Harris has created the most joyous, transcendent election campaign since President Barack Obama in less than three weeks. Another is that she has done absolutely nothing except garner larger crowds, read someone else’s scripts, and pose for the cameras. Like magic, the media has settled on a new… Continue reading Let them eat joy
Much has been made of President Biden’s poor performance, but much less of President Trump’s strong one. Trump’s refusal to give any ground whatsoever on any issue whatsoever set the stage of the meltdown we all witnessed. Let me start by saying two things. First, Presidential debates are not scored by Harvard rules. There is… Continue reading Dissecting Trump’s highly underrated debate performance

Last week, two time presidential loser and perennial election denier Hillary Clinton re-entered… Continue reading Hillary Clinton can deprogram this
The root causes of crime have been debated for centuries. A classic example phenomena comes from renowned author and thinker, Fyodor Dostoyevsky, whose words written over 150 years ago ring as true today as perhaps ever before. “Crime is an abstract term that means nothing in a lot of ways,” explained a young progressive named… Continue reading Socialism, crime, Dostoyevsky, and the more things change
The new year begins with the feeling that little was resolved last year. The topics that dominated the conversation from political polarization to the war in Ukraine continue apace without resolution. 2023 should finally begin to provide some answers domestically, internationally, and politically. Future historians might look back on 2022 and identify it as a… Continue reading 2023: A year of continued questions and some possible answers
The President has chosen to mount a self-interested defense of democracy as his closing message for the midterm elections rather than defend his own record. It’s one of the most cynical strategies in modern memory for furthering dividing Americans in the obvious pursuit of power. It’s also dumb and hopeless because voters know the deal.… Continue reading Biden: Cynical, dumb, hopeless, or all three at the same time?
The jury’s failure to recommend the death penalty is only the last in an unbelievably long line of failures to make the tough decisions required for a functioning society. Everyone knew Mr. Cruz was a danger, but no one was willing to do anything about it despite dozens of chances.
