The world’s only one man media empire
To be successful, politicians need to at least seem like they’re driving the conversation, directly engaged on the issues that matter, either contributing to successes and pointing out failures, but progressives hate the President so much, they will not permit anything except resistance. On Tuesday evening, Democrats faced the age-old dilemma of the party out… Continue reading Democrats are caught between the rock that is President Trump and the hard place of their supporters who loathe him
Though it’s traditional that an incoming President has six months if not a full year before the economy can be considered their responsibility, Trump was barely provided a week and even worse, some claim he should be held accountable for what hasn’t happened yet and might never happen. The criticisms of President Donald Trump are… Continue reading Trump’s critics are livin’ in the future on tariffs and everything else, imagining calamities that haven’t happened yet and might never
No piece of paper can fully commit a country to war on behalf of another. Rather than lecturing President Trump, President Zelensky should have read his George Washington, accepting that strong commercial relations are the foundation for mutual defense, not words on a page. Whether you love President Donald Trump or hate him, the simple,… Continue reading Trump, Zelensky, the reality that there are no guarantees in life, and other lessons from a disastrous meeting in the Oval Office that shouldn’t have been
What began as an obvious stunt, turned into a trap when it was revealed intelligence officials have the time to discuss castration on government systems and, apparently, the entire government can be thrown into chaos by a simple request. In the annals of American history, perhaps few things are more emblematic of the absurdity of… Continue reading The email heard around the world
Less than four years ago, the unvaccinated were the enemy, killing their fellow citizens, and their rights, their jobs, their families, their homes, their entire lives didn’t matter. There was no compassion to be found. No sympathy. No helping hand. In many cases, not even unemployment when they were forced from their jobs for no… Continue reading Why I’m all out of compassion for government workers in the wake of the pandemic
Generally speaking, it’s true not to make concessions prior to a negotiation, but it’s also true that you are unlikely to begin negotiations in the first place if your position is perceived as unacceptable. When you are negotiating a fair price for a new car, you don’t begin by offering half of the list price.… Continue reading Trump, the Russo-Japanese War, and the truth about negotiating with Russia
We have two alternatives. The first is to assume the President has some power and discretion when it comes to disbursing government funds. The second is to adopt the new theory that the President must spend every dollar or be in violation of the law and the Constitution itself. As of January 20, 2025, coincidentally… Continue reading The Drunken Sailor Theory of Congressional Appropriations
For the sake of consistency, one would think those concerned about Mr. Musk’s electoral status would also be concerned that any of close to 700 judges in the district courts, none of whom were elected and none of whom enjoy powers enumerated in the Constitution itself, can arbitrarily block the will of a duly elected… Continue reading Isn’t it ironic that the progressive answer to the supposedly unelected Elon Musk is equally unelected judges?
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
If nine out of ten people in the Gaza Strip have lost their homes, and some of those homes might not be rebuilt for more than a decade, even forgetting the rest of the infrastructure required to support a community, where are these people supposed to live in the interim? In tents? In the rubble?… Continue reading The boldest foreign policy vision in a hundred years or more, bar none
