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.

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

Republican candidates are clueless about how to take down Trump, but they might not have to
The Republican race takes shape as candidates emerge and take aim at the former President, albeit not very effectively in my opinion. The government, however, also has its sights set on Trump with fresh indictments at the Federal level that might upend the Presidency entirely. The big news today is former President Trump’s second round… Continue reading Republican candidates are clueless about how to take down Trump, but they might not have to
Biden’s big fall makes a mockery of us all
President Biden takes a tumble, the media claims he “appeared” to trip and acted like he sprung up faster than a prime Jean-Claude Van Damme, while The New York Times informs us his age is “complicated.” Conservatives had a good laugh last week when President Joe Biden took a tumble at the Air Force Academy… Continue reading Biden’s big fall makes a mockery of us all
Did Ron DeSantis just make a huge mistake? A couple of lessons from Teddy Roosevelt in that regard…
The Florida Governor officially enters a Republican field completely dominated by President Donald Trump, putting himself in the spotlight while remaining at the mercy of events, left to hope some outside force fells the former President because there is nothing he can say or do to change the dynamic. I was wrong: I always figured… Continue reading Did Ron DeSantis just make a huge mistake? A couple of lessons from Teddy Roosevelt in that regard…
Trump-haters beware, the revolution will eat its own
From the highs of a jury finding the former President guilty of sexual assault without any evidence to the lows of a Justice Department report that found no evidence and a lot of bias in the Russian collusion investigation, Trump-haters operate under the assumption that the man deserves it no matter what. What will happen… Continue reading Trump-haters beware, the revolution will eat its own
