There is, however, a way to square this political circle. It’ll never happen for more reasons than I count, but President Joe Biden’s best… Continue reading Biden’s best political move is to preemptively pardon Trump
The President bizarrely declared that “freedom” is on the ballot after his own party robbed hundreds of millions of Americans of their freedom less than four years ago, among other unprecedented assaults on our democracy. Last week, President Joe Biden opened the general election campaign by donning the mantle of George Washington, positioning himself and… Continue reading President Biden and the Democrats wouldn’t know democracy if it bit them in the ass
Courts believe they can bar a candidate not convicted of any crime, much less charged with the actual crime in question, from a ballot. Judges believe they can decide whether someone is guilty before stripping them of their property without any kind of jury of their peers.

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 House of Representatives is in the process of making the sort of history one doesn’t really want to make as the selection of Speaker moves to at least the 12th ballot, suggesting that the Republican party is fractured, which should not be much of a surprise after the midterm elections. This week, the political… Continue reading Who’s afraid of a little actual voting in Congress?
The Republicans managed to win the national popular vote for the first time since 2014, but a poor performance in competitive states prevented a red wave.
