Donald Trump, Teddy Roosevelt, a President on trial, and the American obsession with sick bastards

Roosevelt has little in common with Trump on the surface, save for being born wealthy in New York City and having significant careers outside of politics, but both men inspired over the top passion and both spent a lot of time in court after their Presidencies.  On New Year’s Day 2016, I joined my wife… Continue reading Donald Trump, Teddy Roosevelt, a President on trial, and the American obsession with sick bastards

About that “stubbornly high” inflation

The experts shouldn’t be surprised that inflation doesn’t fall in a straight line in a relatively short period as they’ve been claiming. The historical record over the past 800 years is clear: Inflation can take decades, as in tens of years, to revert to the norm. Wall Street was stunned last week because inflation remains… Continue reading About that “stubbornly high” inflation

NPR, the corrupt media, and why Trump needs to win

A senior editor at NPR reveals how the media outlet intentionally distorted or outright spiked three major stories in recent years, and how the newsroom has been transformed into a progressive advocacy group, aligned against Donald Trump, and willing to lie to get what they want. Earlier this week, National Public Radio’s senior business editor… Continue reading NPR, the corrupt media, and why Trump needs to win

Republicans are stuck on abortion stupid and need some combination of Donald Trump and common sense to save them

They have no plan except to continue showcasing their anti-abortion bonafides and continue handing the Democrats a potent political issue that is already said to have limited their success in 2022 and might well doom them again in 2024. Republicans spent almost fifty years attempting to overturn the Supreme Court’s Roe v. Wade decision that… Continue reading Republicans are stuck on abortion stupid and need some combination of Donald Trump and common sense to save them

Pro-Palestinian protestors are the real story of “Genocide Joe’s” Presidential Campaign so far

What are the odds that a man who regularly slurs his words and whose ability to stand trial was questioned by his own Justice Department doesn’t lash out and create a potential viral spectacle after being repeatedly confronted by members of his own party in outright rebellion? Last week, President Biden held a glitzy fundraiser… Continue reading Pro-Palestinian protestors are the real story of “Genocide Joe’s” Presidential Campaign so far

Surprise, you don’t own your home or business in New York at least

A homeowner can’t sell their house because a squatter has moved in and is renting the place out on his own. Another couple purchases a house for $2 million, but can’t move in because a caretaker claims to have an agreement with a dead man. Meanwhile, the state plans to seize President Trump’s properties simply… Continue reading Surprise, you don’t own your home or business in New York at least

Bill Clinton and who the radicals really are

President Clinton isn’t quite a Republican by today’s standards, but he’s much closer to one than the current Democrat Party, and if Democrats still held his positions, or anything like them, there would be broad bipartisan support for any number of major reforms that would benefit the entire country. In yet another common refrain, the… Continue reading Bill Clinton and who the radicals really are

The Oscars are an embarrassment for an industry that prides itself on creativity and showmanship

It doesn’t take a genius to figure out that a show about movies should offer what you haven’t seen before, leaving you with a little of the magic in your own home, rather than scratching your head wondering what they pay these people so much more money for in the first place. Hollywood is supposed… Continue reading The Oscars are an embarrassment for an industry that prides itself on creativity and showmanship

Biden’s best political move is to preemptively pardon Trump

The average voter understands that democracy requires the ability to support a candidate of their choosing and using “lawfare” as a means to bankrupt or jail a candidate is fundamentally undemocratic. There is, however, a way to square this political circle. It’ll never happen for more reasons than I count, but President Joe Biden’s best… Continue reading Biden’s best political move is to preemptively pardon Trump

Now that it’s almost official, is Trump versus Biden round two really the race that no one wants?

The truth is that every Presidential candidate short of George Washington has their strengths and weaknesses, and in this particular election both of the candidates are older than most would like, but otherwise, the differences between these two disparate men end there. It’s an often repeated refrain:  A rematch between current President Joe Biden and… Continue reading Now that it’s almost official, is Trump versus Biden round two really the race that no one wants?
