Trump’s brilliantly subversive Cabinet picks and the scandal that should be currently engulfing FEMA

The insistence that President Trump’s primary goal is to take some kind of vengeance on his enemies is only possible if you ignore a mounting body of evidence that all isn’t well with the government, particularly at the leadership level. Shortly before the election, Republicans accused the Biden-Harris administration of political discrimination after two devastating… Continue reading Trump’s brilliantly subversive Cabinet picks and the scandal that should be currently engulfing FEMA

Donald Trump, a transgender controversy, and the mad derangement of the age

The recent controversy over a Democrat questioning transgender athletes in women’s sports illustrates one of the most interesting and most interestingly annoying aspects of Trump Era: The sight of supposedly intelligent people whose mind has been reduced to one output for every possible input whenever he is involved.  After last week’s brutal election loss, Democrat… Continue reading Donald Trump, a transgender controversy, and the mad derangement of the age

Donald Trump and the greatest, most improbable political story ever told

The Butterfly Effect encapsulates how small changes in variables lead to big changes in outcome.  History is the Butterfly Effect written into human affairs, but it is even harder to untangle than math or physics. Who’d have believed a once and future President making an announcement after coming down a golden escalator would lead to… Continue reading Donald Trump and the greatest, most improbable political story ever told

Why Trump’s massive victory gives me hope for the future and renewed pride in the American experiment

The people have spoken and they have shouted:  We will not be told what to do, what to think, what to believe, how to act, how to live, and how to vote in record numbers.  At the risk of sounding like Michelle Obama, I have never been more proud of my country than last Tuesday… Continue reading Why Trump’s massive victory gives me hope for the future and renewed pride in the American experiment

Trump stands alone in a historic victory unlike any other, an unstoppable force emerging more powerful than ever

For all the talk of having a front row to history, this is what it really looks like in action.  I used to believe there was no crazier son of a bitch to occupy the Oval Office than Teddy Roosevelt, no greater unstoppable force, but the Bull Moose might have just been taken down a… Continue reading Trump stands alone in a historic victory unlike any other, an unstoppable force emerging more powerful than ever

Win or lose, Trump did it his way and that was enough to be the defining political figure of our age

No one in American history, perhaps even the history of the world, has ever confronted this level of opposition, both from his self-proclaimed detractors and the broader establishment, and not changed their attitude, style, or approach in the slightest.  Passionately adored by his supporters and just as passionately hated by his detractors, the only thing… Continue reading Win or lose, Trump did it his way and that was enough to be the defining political figure of our age

The Washington Post’s endorsement “scandal” says a lot more about progressives than anything else

Inherent in the outrage is the idea that media outlets exist to advance their progressive view of the world, prioritizing their beliefs and preferences above all others.  Progressives have whipped themselves into a frenzy over The Washington Post’s decision not to endorse a candidate for president this year or, assuming they stick to it, any… Continue reading The Washington Post’s endorsement “scandal” says a lot more about progressives than anything else

The crazy contradictions of a Trump victory

Back in 2017, the establishment was able to convince themselves President Trump was a one-of-a-kind defect in American politics that they could correct somehow, but that illusion will be shattered should he win again. If former President Donald Trump prevails next week, his victory will result in a political contradiction of the highest possible order. … Continue reading The crazy contradictions of a Trump victory

Harris has nothing on Trump and everyone knows it

While former President Donald Trump might not prevail next week, we can say with surety that the hope, the joy, the vibes, the brat, and everything else that was supposed to propel Vice President Kamala Harris to victory has faded, to be replaced by what can best be summarized as Orange Man Bad. Rather incredibly… Continue reading Harris has nothing on Trump and everyone knows it

Is Trump really only in it for himself?

The events of this summer make it clear President Trump is risking his very life to run, coming within less than an inch of having his head blown off on national television.  What selfish, self-interested person would voluntarily lay their lives on the line any time they appear in public?  With two weeks to go… Continue reading Is Trump really only in it for himself?
