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

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. Last week,… Continue reading Trump, the mugshot seen around the world, and progressive blather about the rule of law
