Confessions of a Conservative Atheist
The world’s only one man media empire
If you compare coverage of Mr. Talarico’s disappearance for almost two weeks to President Trump going an entire 48 hours without a public event last summer, the difference can only be said to be instructive. In normal circumstances, a major candidate for the Senate, the person who many believe will turn Texas red for the… Continue reading The incredible disappearance of James Talarico and our rapidly shrinking media
Complaining about prices and blaming President Trump is one thing, but actually doing something is quite another, and in this regard, Democrats simply aren’t saying and the media is rather bizarrely uninterested in the plan. As everyone knows by now, gas prices are high and for far too many people, the elevated costs are putting… Continue reading Bitching about gas prices shouldn’t be enough to earn a single vote
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
Almost 125 years ago, critics of President Teddy Roosevelt described another world-changing deal in Latin America as an un-American imperialist adventure despite having no solution of their own beyond the fantasy that countries will magically become modern democracies thanks to the power of words alone. In 1903, President Teddy Roosevelt secured a deal with the… Continue reading The Venezuelan oil deal, the Panama Canal, and our American values
They used to say country over party. Perhaps, we should put the future over politics, and rather than behaving like craven fools politicians should lead. If you’ve been looking for an issue that finally unites Republicans and Democrats, liberals and conservatives alike, opposition to so-called AI datacenters might be it. As the Associated Press characterized… Continue reading The datacenter delusion
After both of our previous attempts failed largely because Iran has proven completely unable to stop firing missiles for no seemingly sane reason, it appears to be a good time to reconsider our options. Before we begin, I should come clean: Throughout the conflict with Iran I have consistently advocated to make an even less… Continue reading Iran: Do we need or want a deal at this point?
The Atlantic makes the bizarre argument that conservatives are responsible for 60,000 people storming a peaceful beach in a Spanish territory in North Africa while completely ignoring the obvious role of lax immigration policies around the world. Last week, much of America and the rest of the world was shocked by videos from Ceuta, a… Continue reading No, the real problem with Ceuta being invaded by 60,000 migrants isn’t Republicans or other right wing politicians, it’s the invasion itself
If mainstream party members fail to act, Democrat Senate candidates and eventually the 2028 Presidential nominee will be in the bizarre position of being asked whether they support abolishing their own positions in the government. As far as political platforms go, the Democratic Socialists of America’s “Workers Deserve More” is radical almost beyond description to… Continue reading The Democratic Socialists of America want to abolish the Senate, the Supreme Court, and the Presidency, but where are the Democrat Champions of Democracy?
For a man who claims to be driven by principle, he has an odd habit, one dating back to the 1980s, of only entering the fray when a Republican is in office, either sleeping through Democrat Presidencies or somehow believing all our problems are solved when we elect a Democrat. “I believe in critical patriotism,”… Continue reading Springsteen isn’t a “critical patriot,” he’s a partisan hack, but I love him anyway
