A President’s son is charged, a President himself continues to lie, the media remains half asleep, and where it ends, no one knows

Three years ago The New York Times, CNN, and others pretended there was nothing out of the ordinary with Hunter receiving millions of dollars without providing any work product or paying any taxes. Now, he faces serious jail time. Whether or not this reaches the President himself remains to be seen. Last week, the President’s… Continue reading A President’s son is charged, a President himself continues to lie, the media remains half asleep, and where it ends, no one knows

Is Trump mounting the most triumphant political comeback of all time, or at least since 1892?

According to conventional wisdom in much of the media and other Democrat-heavy groups, President Trump shouldn’t even be allowed to run again, and yet the makings of one of the most – if not the most – triumphant political comeback of all time are in place.  To date, Grover Cleveland is the only President in… Continue reading Is Trump mounting the most triumphant political comeback of all time, or at least since 1892?

Nikki Haley is everything that’s wrong with the establishment

On the surface, it may seem like a petty dispute over the use of TikTok, but the spat between the former Governor and Vivek Ramaswamy is actually one of the fundamental battles of our time, and Haley is not on our side. In politics, sometimes small, seemingly inconsequential moments illuminate larger issues, crystallizing the true… Continue reading Nikki Haley is everything that’s wrong with the establishment

Off year elections: The current political stalemate amid massive polarization is a matter of trust

Ohio’s recent trust in Republicans doesn’t extend to the abortion issue.  Virginia might like and trust Governor Youngkin himself, but they have no faith in an empowered Republican Party.  Kentucky, meanwhile, placed its trust in Republicans, only to watch them completely botch critical tax policy.  The Republican Party didn’t have the best night last Tuesday,… Continue reading Off year elections: The current political stalemate amid massive polarization is a matter of trust

Mitch McConnell has officially lost it, slamming his own party while repeating Democrat talking points

The Senator from Kentucky recently endorsed the idea that war is actually stimulus, bomb someone half a world away to make more bombs here at home, perhaps the most cynical and reprehensible framing in decades. In doing so, he’s opposing the newly minted Speaker of the House and taking other unwarranted shots at his fellow… Continue reading Mitch McConnell has officially lost it, slamming his own party while repeating Democrat talking points

Free speech dies in federal court when an out of control judge takes aim at former President Trump and every American citizen

There is little more fundamental a right than the ability of voters to listen to completely unfettered Presidential candidates before making their own personal choice.  In a sense, Judge Chutkan has abridged the rights of every American to decide – for themselves and in and of themselves – who to vote for and why. “Mr.… Continue reading Free speech dies in federal court when an out of control judge takes aim at former President Trump and every American citizen

Hillary Clinton can deprogram this

Rarely, does a single interview capture so much of what is wrong with our politics today, highlighting both the deep denialism of supposedly mainstream Democrats and further cementing that party as one completely adrift from anything resembling traditional American principles of government.  Last week, two time presidential loser and perennial election denier Hillary Clinton re-entered… Continue reading Hillary Clinton can deprogram this

Biden’s third war in three years makes this the worst foreign policy ever

At every turn, President Biden has chosen a path that prioritizes talk over action, believing that countries saying they are for something is the same as actually achieving that something, and has failed to deliver actual progress while the world continues to burn. This weekend, President Joseph R. Biden, Jr. completed a tragic trifecta the… Continue reading Biden’s third war in three years makes this the worst foreign policy ever

Matt Gaetz can’t count and other Republican absurdities while ousting a Speaker heading into an election year

If there is one rule in politics, it might be summarized:  Never be seen to be losing, do not pick fights you cannot win, instead focus on changing the political kaleidoscope until you can win.  Republicans, or rather a handful of extreme Republicans, have somehow managed to pick two such fights in barely a month.… Continue reading Matt Gaetz can’t count and other Republican absurdities while ousting a Speaker heading into an election year

TikTok, Republicans, and their inability to understand the nature of political power

Today’s establishment minded Republicans are fond of placing what they perceive to be important principles over common sense, transforming their positions into a classic suicide pact. History provides a better guide to a be a successful GOP President. There’s no doubt the second Republican debate was a disorganized mess, marred by poor moderation, worse questions,… Continue reading TikTok, Republicans, and their inability to understand the nature of political power
