Ranking presidential “greatness” and the intellectual bankruptcy of the academic establishment

Academics would have us believe that Joe Biden – who was recently deemed mentally incompetent by his own Justice Department – has made a better president than the likes of Ronald Reagan, Ulysses S. Grant, and James Monroe, not to mention Andrew freaking Jackson?  Late last year, the “2024 Presidential Greatness Project Expert Survey” was… Continue reading Ranking presidential “greatness” and the intellectual bankruptcy of the academic establishment

How Trump’s New York verdict upends the entire free market and inserts the government in private transactions

Whatever your opinion on the former President in particular or the Trump Organization in general, the ruling and the fine rest on a fundamentally backwards reading of how the free market works and the rights of parties entering freely into a business arrangement. Last week, former President Donald Trump was ordered to pay $355 million… Continue reading How Trump’s New York verdict upends the entire free market and inserts the government in private transactions

Trump and the truth about NATO that the establishment refuses to admit

For reasons that remain unexplained, but likely have to do with money and a penchant for talk over action, the conventional wisdom will simply not admit that President Trump is in good company with his skepticism, none other than George Washington himself. Last weekend, former President Donald Trump provoked somewhat bipartisan outrage in establishment circles… Continue reading Trump and the truth about NATO that the establishment refuses to admit

The entire Biden Presidency is an outrage encapsulated in one Special Counsel report

President Biden is only in office because of endless lies and double standards, an outrage that occurred because of corruption and deceit at the highest levels of American life and continues because no accounting of any kind has occurred.  Last Thursday, Special Counsel Robert Hur, who had been charged with investigating President Joe Biden’s possession… Continue reading The entire Biden Presidency is an outrage encapsulated in one Special Counsel report

Biden’s increasingly bizarre approach to the Middle East is caused by a lack of vision behind his actions

We’re de-escalating the situation by escalating it, and we’re launching acts of war to avoid a war, both strategies no one can really make sense of and no one would should be surprised are not producing any measurable result.  Over the weekend, the Biden Administration responded to the recent killing of three American servicemen by… Continue reading Biden’s increasingly bizarre approach to the Middle East is caused by a lack of vision behind his actions

Biden’s border bullshit

The plan is to pretend the President didn’t campaign on opening up the border to everyone, didn’t proceed to roll back every successful policy as soon as he got into office, and didn’t watch millions upon millions stream in for three years. Shortly after President Joe Biden took office, I opined that he was committing… Continue reading Biden’s border bullshit

Where in the world is Georgia Governor Brian Kemp after an anti-Trump prosecutor funneled hundreds of thousands to her illicit lover?

A Republican Governor refuses to get involved in a huge scandal that could derail a Trump prosecution, preferring to leave it to an advisory council that doesn’t actually exist. Perhaps they can defer to the Krypton Council that banished Zod at the beginning of Superman. You wouldn’t know it from the mainstream media, but the… Continue reading Where in the world is Georgia Governor Brian Kemp after an anti-Trump prosecutor funneled hundreds of thousands to her illicit lover?

Nikki Haley needs a history lesson and a lesson for all politicians from Donald Trump

The former Governor and now Presidential candidate moved swiftly from refusing to clearly state that slavery was the primary cause of the Civil War to inexplicably claiming America was “never” a racist country. She likely knows better, but her advisors probably don’t. Former Governor and Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley has about the same… Continue reading Nikki Haley needs a history lesson and a lesson for all politicians from Donald Trump

Springsteen’s “Badlands” and the moment that just don’t come

The search for something better defines us, and will always do so.  The only way to cope is to tell the world itself to fuck off. We can rise above our fates only if we spit fate itself in the face and live in the moment. “Badlands” isn’t my favorite Bruce Springsteen song.  A perennial at… Continue reading Springsteen’s “Badlands” and the moment that just don’t come

Trump’s immunity to the laws of political gravity and legal exposure, potentially

Time is the only tell whether Trump can continue defying the odds, but by now, no one should bet against him and love him or hate him, all of us have the proverbial front row seat to history in the making. Earlier this week, former President Donald Trump won the Iowa Caucuses so convincingly that… Continue reading Trump’s immunity to the laws of political gravity and legal exposure, potentially
