Trump is simply an another level than other politicians, love him or hate him, for better or worse

Last week he launched TrumpRx.com. If you were to ask me to trade his accomplishments – many like revitalizing the Monroe Doctrine or being instrumental in overturning Roe Vs. Wade that I had only previously dreamed of – for less boorish and at times offensive behavior, I’d take the accomplishments every single time. Whether you… Continue reading Trump is simply an another level than other politicians, love him or hate him, for better or worse

The Washington Post and the reality that the media thinks they are better than you

Last week, journalists in particular and progressives in general let out a cry of anguish straight out of Star Wars, but in any other industry hundreds of millions in losses, declining readership, and a staff in open rebellion would have resulted in changes long ago. Last week, journalists in particular and progressives in general let… Continue reading The Washington Post and the reality that the media thinks they are better than you

Don’t look now, but Democrats are picking yet another funding battle they will lose

Funding Battle

Last year, Democrats put the country through the longest shutdown in history and have precisely nothing to show for it. The situation is even worse for them right now, but Trump Derangement and the constant belief that this time things will be different, is a sad yet powerful thing. Though the ink is barely dry… Continue reading Don’t look now, but Democrats are picking yet another funding battle they will lose

Springsteen’s “Streets of Minneapolis” is a case study in Trump Derangement Syndrome

Bruce Springsteen

This isn’t the first time Springsteen has turned to music in the wake of an American killed by law enforcement or the first time he’s sung about immigration issues. Sadly, he has done so with far better results than his current effort. Let me start by saying that I practically worship Bruce Springsteen.  I’ve seen… Continue reading Springsteen’s “Streets of Minneapolis” is a case study in Trump Derangement Syndrome

Reminder: Progressives do not get to decide what’s right and wrong, and other lessons from Jackson’s handling of the first nullification crisis

Andrew Jackson

America has already had this argument and it has already been soundly rejected, legally and at the bloody point of a gun during the Civil War.  In fact, three decades before the war itself, President Andrew Jackson confronted this very same thinking during the first nullification crisis. To hear Democrats and their progressive allies tell… Continue reading Reminder: Progressives do not get to decide what’s right and wrong, and other lessons from Jackson’s handling of the first nullification crisis

A modest proposal: Is it time to bring back the Darwin Awards?

Darwin Awards

If you set aside the politics, picking up a flashbang grenade in attempt to throw it at law enforcement officers, begging them to shoot you, driving cars into them, and putting your hands on them while packing heat are decidedly not smart things to do. Let me start by saying in no uncertain terms that… Continue reading A modest proposal: Is it time to bring back the Darwin Awards?

Either progressives truly think this is a war or they have officially lost their minds

Are we witnessing “The Battle for Minneapolis” as The New Yorker claimed or “Our Gettysburg Moment” as The Bulwark had it, or are progressives simply so far gone they see no danger in taunting men they described as poorly trained thugs with guns? To hear Democrats and their progressive allies tell it, President Donald Trump’s… Continue reading Either progressives truly think this is a war or they have officially lost their minds

Democrats in Minnesota and elsewhere desperately need a lesson in the nature of power

Presidential Power

Contrary to the conventional wisdom, President Trump cannot simply allow his political adversaries to dictate his actions.  No President has ever done so, and none ever will.  Full disclosure:  I wrote most of this post before the second ICE shooting left a man dead in Minneapolis less than a month after the first on Saturday… Continue reading Democrats in Minnesota and elsewhere desperately need a lesson in the nature of power

Greenland’s strategic importance has been beyond dispute for decades, the only question is how to secure its future

Greenland

At this point, if anyone truly believes either Denmark or the broader European Union can be trusted to safeguard Greenland against Russia and China, there’s an old expression about a bridge for sale.  In season two of Netflix’ of The Diplomat, the potential for Russia to launch a sneak attack against the United States by… Continue reading Greenland’s strategic importance has been beyond dispute for decades, the only question is how to secure its future

Democrats against democracy

By almost any definition, democracies are based on the government implementing the will of the people as expressed in elections, but the people have spoken and suddenly, that will must be denied by any means necessary.  In the history of American politics, few things were more clear than President Donald Trump’s pledge to conduct mass… Continue reading Democrats against democracy
