Democrats demand people get shot to protect child labor on pot farms

“At town halls in their districts and in one-on-one meetings with constituents and activists,” Axios reported after speaking to more than two dozen Democrats in the House of Representatives, “Democratic members of Congress are facing a growing thrum of demands to break the rules, fight dirty — and not be afraid to get hurt.” Last… Continue reading Democrats demand people get shot to protect child labor on pot farms

Superman and how much Hollywood truly hates us

While many of us are wondering when Superman became an immigrant, given that he’s a fictional alien from another planet with almost godlike powers and is not usually associated with either border policy or migrant workers, Hollywood once again reveals that they have nothing but contempt for half the country or more. Once upon a… Continue reading Superman and how much Hollywood truly hates us

A Big, Beautiful Peace Deal in the Middle East?

While it remains to be seen if a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, Syria joining the Abraham Accords, and even a group of sheikhs in the West Bank, will come to fruition, clearly something has changed radically in the region over the past six months and just as clearly, that something is President Trump.  Shortly… Continue reading A Big, Beautiful Peace Deal in the Middle East?

Unpopular opinion: Democrats will regret not supporting any part of the Big Beautiful Bill

Whatever becomes of Medicaid, every restaurant and service worker, every cop, every firefighter, every cashier, almost every union member, everyone who has recently had a child and will have one for the next three years, the great majority of seniors, and even upper middle class people in high tax states, will receive some benefit from… Continue reading Unpopular opinion: Democrats will regret not supporting any part of the Big Beautiful Bill

This Fourth of July, progressives have officially lost their minds

“In this authoritarian and suffocating climate where being an American feels like a curse,” she began, “where just breathing here feels like complicity with genocide, psychotic imperialism, misogyny and endless racism, it is hard to move, let alone imagine what one can do to transform this horror to good.” If we should give credit where… Continue reading This Fourth of July, progressives have officially lost their minds

How stupid do Democrats and their enablers in the mainstream media think we are?

Last week, CNN claimed that Iran was essentially closer to building a bomb than they were before the strikes. Last month, they told us store shelves would be empty by now. Clearly, they do not believe we are capable of remembering what was said less than a week ago or considering the veracity of their… Continue reading How stupid do Democrats and their enablers in the mainstream media think we are?

Trump, Teddy Roosevelt, and the importance of seeing what the experts don’t

When President Teddy Roosevelt brokered the peace deal between Russia and Japan that formally ended the Russo-Japanese War in September 1905, he didn’t publicly claim that neither side knew what the fuck they were doing, but he might well have thought that in private.  When President Teddy Roosevelt brokered the peace deal between Russia and… Continue reading Trump, Teddy Roosevelt, and the importance of seeing what the experts don’t

The strike on Iran, the importance of historical context, and the use of overwhelming force

We have reason to be concerned about the risks of unintended consequences, but we shouldn’t ignore the historical context either, pretending like most Democrats and much of the mainstream media that this conflict somehow sprung into existence with Israel’s air campaign barely ten days ago.  There is no doubt that President Donald Trump’s decision to… Continue reading The strike on Iran, the importance of historical context, and the use of overwhelming force

Can someone, anyone explain why President Trump would go to war with Iran at this point?

Somehow, he has achieved what would make the greatest foreign policy practitioner in Presidential history, Teddy Roosevelt blush:  He’s taking credit for a war complete with making demands of the currently losing side without directly prosecuting it.  As inevitable as the sun coming up in the morning, war hysteria appears to be gripping Washington in… Continue reading Can someone, anyone explain why President Trump would go to war with Iran at this point?

Democrats can’t have it both ways on President Trump, simultaneously smearing him and demanding he treat them with something less than the contempt they themselves reek

Why they seem to believe they can simultaneously slander him and expect him to treat them as partners in government remains a mystery that flies in the face of political history and human nature.  Earlier this week, Democrats were outraged at President Donald Trump for two reasons, one completely inconsequential, the other quite consequential, nicely… Continue reading Democrats can’t have it both ways on President Trump, simultaneously smearing him and demanding he treat them with something less than the contempt they themselves reek
