The world’s only one man media empire
Before the inauguration speech was even over, President Trump declared it was a new Golden Age in America, promised to take back the Panama Canal and reinvigorated the much maligned phrase, Manifest Destiny, this time applying it to our quest to conquer the stars, and he was just getting warmed up. Love him or hate… Continue reading The Full Trump from Day One
Whether you love him or hate him, President Trump is far more than a politician, having become a cultural figure that represents perhaps better than anyone else the key issues of our time, and his retaking the Presidency marks a clear before and after. When President Joe Biden was set to take office in 2021,… Continue reading Washington will never be the same…
Between Trump’s sentencing, Biden claiming he could win the election, and the release of the Special Counsel report, it’s like we’re stuck in a time loop, repeating the same thing and expecting a difficult result, or progressives are hoping for a time machine to go back and replay events to generate a different result. As… Continue reading If only Democrats had a time machine, they could go back and defeat President-elect Donald Trump or could they?
We should condemn those who would make sport of anyone’s suffering for any reason, but in a world where everything is political, there is nothing wrong with stating your opinion on what led to the destruction and what could have done better once it was unleashed. The fires in Los Angeles have prompted a range… Continue reading The LA fires and the reality that not all politics is bad, though not all arguments are equal
It appears the Facebook mega-billionaire has learned the lessons of John D. Rockefeller’s belligerent reaction to Teddy Roosevelt’s antitrust suit that ultimately dissolved Standard Oil. Teddy Roosevelt is generally considered the first American President to take on and reign in big business in America. At the time, large corporations were organized into byzantine trusts, essentially… Continue reading Of course, Mark Zuckerberg caved to President Donald Trump, exactly as he should have
Believe it or not, the Constitution appears to demand that even a convicted murderer elected President must have their charges dismissed, otherwise the fate of the free world is in the hands of a single judge and twelve members of a jury that are necessarily subservient to the supreme law of the land. The American… Continue reading Trump’s sentencing and a lesson in how American democracy is supposed to work
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…
It is the supreme irony of our age that we live in a period of more peace, prosperity, and health than the world has ever known, one where new wonders arise practically weekly, but cannot bring ourselves to acknowledge how truly lucky we are. There are years that are objectively bad. No one, or at… Continue reading When did every New Year become the winter of our discontent?
I was reminded of my grandmother over the past week, when an internecine debate bordering on a brawl broke out among supporters of President Donald Trump, despite being an essentially a minor issue concerning some 85,000 visas issued annually, where multiple things can be true simultaneously. My grandmother used to say that there are… Continue reading The H-1B visa debate and the three sides to every story principle
Lying about the mental state of the President and failing to discharge duties related to that mental state are both conspiracies against the United States, punishable by law, but accountability beyond jettisoning the perpetrators into political oblivion will be hard to come by. Conservatives have long been convinced that President Joe Biden’s cognitive decline… Continue reading Don’t look now, but the year is ending with the biggest political scandal in the history and no one seems to care
