Trump and the impossible abortion question

The former President isn’t abandoning his position or expecting his supporters to move left on the controversial topic. He’s expecting them to accept reality and trusting in their ability to act rationally, leading rather than hiding behind a pro-life slogan that has no chance of actually becoming law.  On Sunday, former President Donald Trump angered… Continue reading Trump and the impossible abortion question

Trump and the inherent complexities of the trans question

The former President gave a rambling answer that some conservatives saw as less than optimal, but the real question is what can the government and the free citizens of a Republic do about a complex, controversial topic that cannot simply be wished away with simple statements?  Last week, former President Donald Trump appeared to give… Continue reading Trump and the inherent complexities of the trans question

Impeachment: The political bombshell that wasn’t

Once upon a time, this would have been huge news, especially one backed by multiple pieces of evidence and the clear knowledge the President did, in fact, lie many times, but in today’s highly polarized age, no one, and I mean no one, seems to care.  During the second impeachment of former President Donald Trump,… Continue reading Impeachment: The political bombshell that wasn’t

Trump, the mugshot seen around the world, and progressive blather about the rule of law

We cannot say for sure if he is enraged, defiant, determined, or some combination of all three and more, but we can say that this is not a man who is going to walk quietly into obscurity, either in prison or otherwise, and likely with good reason given the underlying issues at play.

Biden’s vaccine mandate “conspiracy” to defraud the government and the American people

The President mandated vaccines based on false statements, faulty science, outright lies, and flawed legal reasoning only to be rejected by the Supreme Court after untold people lost their jobs, American rights were trampled, and the country thrown into chaos. These days, this should be an indictable offense. On November 4, 2021, President Joe Biden… Continue reading Biden’s vaccine mandate “conspiracy” to defraud the government and the American people

Trump and the historic embrace of novel legal theories

Whatever your opinion on the man himself, there is a fundamental question of fairness when you consider that he is facing hundreds of years in prison, based mostly on novel interpretations of statutes that even his opponents admit have never been used in this way before.  Give credit where credit is due: The various prosecutors… Continue reading Trump and the historic embrace of novel legal theories

President Biden and the triumphant return of “whataboutism”

Once upon a time, the practice of comparing yourself to your opponents and defending yourself based on the actions of others was frowned upon as Russian misinformation tactic, until, of course, it became useful to defend President Joe Biden. In the Trump Era, as in less than three years ago, we were told that whataboutism,… Continue reading President Biden and the triumphant return of “whataboutism”

Does anyone truly believe that Trump doesn’t truly believe the election was stolen in 2020?

According to the indictment, the former President does not have to be right on the facts or the law.  The underlying issue is not what actually happened and what could be done about it.  He simply has to believe what he said was true and the entire case goes away. Last week, Special Counsel Jack… Continue reading Does anyone truly believe that Trump doesn’t truly believe the election was stolen in 2020?

Republicans need to start exercising their power to get real answers, and real coverage of the two biggest scandals the media isn’t telling you about

The GOP may lack power over government to get their will via legislation, but they do have power over Congress to exert their will via blocking it.

Democrats are completely failing the Trump Test and losing all credibility as a result

Anyone protecting President Joe Biden from the revelations detailed in FD-1023 and the first hand allegations of a massive bribery scheme by a Confidential Human Source in Ukraine cannot be taken seriously as an arbiter of right and wrong. Early in Joe Biden’s Presidency, I urged Democrats to take the “Trump Test,” that is to… Continue reading Democrats are completely failing the Trump Test and losing all credibility as a result
