Living in the Emirates is easy, if you follow the rules, you can enjoy all the benefits a thriving country has to offer. These rules are relatively simple, but justice is swift and the consequences are severe. Can an American cut it? As an American, I have always been proud of my country’s historic role… Continue reading My recent trip to Dubai and a few thoughts on fundamental rights

The self-proclaimed defenders of democracy aren’t defending anything close to what most people consider American democracy
Surely, any pretension of protecting democracy was fatally undermined by a call to rewrite the entire Constitution and related musings on why the military leadership hasn’t done more to undermine the Commander in Chief. Anyone who thinks irony is dead should consider the current progressive positions on the nature of democracy. On one hand, they… Continue reading The self-proclaimed defenders of democracy aren’t defending anything close to what most people consider American democracy
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
2024 could’ve been a hell of a lot worse, but don’t tell the media that…
When you consider the literal and figurative bullets the world dodged on the way to December 31, things could have been much, much worse, almost unimaginably so, but don’t tell our so-called betters that. They are mired in misery and think you should be too. Even in conservative circles, 2024 is getting a bad wrap,… Continue reading 2024 could’ve been a hell of a lot worse, but don’t tell the media that…
The crazy contradictions of a Trump victory
Back in 2017, the establishment was able to convince themselves President Trump was a one-of-a-kind defect in American politics that they could correct somehow, but that illusion will be shattered should he win again. If former President Donald Trump prevails next week, his victory will result in a political contradiction of the highest possible order. … Continue reading The crazy contradictions of a Trump victory
Democrats are officially the party of chaos and contempt for democracy
It’s common for political prognosticators, pundits, and amateurs like myself to rely on historical analogs to explain current events and provide some insight into how the future might unfold, but here, after a sitting President has withdrawn himself as candidate a full month after the primary process has been completed, we have none, because nothing… Continue reading Democrats are officially the party of chaos and contempt for democracy
JD Vance and the Republicans’ ideological revolution
The new Republican Party seeks to shift the balance of our interests shifts from abstract American ideals to the practical impact on every day Americans, America as a country like any other, with her own interests, rather than as some easily manipulated metaphor for democracy or human progress. The same way we can rarely tell… Continue reading JD Vance and the Republicans’ ideological revolution
Democrats and the mainstream media are revealing their true contempt for democracy in real time
Never in history have we seen a party and a media apparatus seem to believe the average person will wake up one morning to find the Biden campaign and perhaps the presidency is no more, and think absolutely nothing of it, ask no questions, have no concerns, simply vote for whoever they tell them to… Continue reading Democrats and the mainstream media are revealing their true contempt for democracy in real time
Biden’s awful interview with Time Magazine and the media’s desperate attempt to resuscitate a dying Presidency
The media will try, but you cannot reconcile a “man who has lived history,” “one of advancing age and broad experience” who can only converse in a “sometimes scattershot way.” A President with a “stiff gait, muffled voice, and fitful syntax” that holds “fast to a vision that has reigned since World War II, in… Continue reading Biden’s awful interview with Time Magazine and the media’s desperate attempt to resuscitate a dying Presidency
Pro-Palestinian protestors are the real story of “Genocide Joe’s” Presidential Campaign so far
What are the odds that a man who regularly slurs his words and whose ability to stand trial was questioned by his own Justice Department doesn’t lash out and create a potential viral spectacle after being repeatedly confronted by members of his own party in outright rebellion? Last week, President Biden held a glitzy fundraiser… Continue reading Pro-Palestinian protestors are the real story of “Genocide Joe’s” Presidential Campaign so far
