Confessions of a Conservative Atheist
The world’s only one man media empire
Elon Musk’s takeover of Twitter has prompted a range of extreme, borderline hysterical reactions. According to progressives, the gates of hell have been opened and people are going to die because Mr. Musk believes free speech is important on social media platforms and someone might encounter an objectionable tweet as a result. What are they… Continue reading Twitter, free speech, and the gates of hell
The New York Post recently proclaimed him “DeFuture.” The Florida governor has a lot to recommend himself for the Republican nomination. A resounding re-election, a strong resume, a coronavirus response rooted in freedom, and a willingness to fight for conservative causes. At least, that’s the theory. The practice, as ever, is a lot more complicated… Continue reading Ron DeSantis: Is the Florida governor the Republicans’ only hope?
As the polarizing former President announces his third consecutive bid for the White House, it’s worth considering the difference between political theory and practice. In theory, we shouldn’t be talking about Trump at all. In practice, he continues to dominate the political stage like no other. Donald Trump is the political difference between theory and… Continue reading Trump take three and why millions still support him
The Republicans managed to win the national popular vote for the first time since 2014, but a poor performance in competitive states prevented a red wave. Once, progressives were fond of calling this an “undemocratic” result, but the truth is that our system is exquisitely designed and the GOP needs to look to the states… Continue reading The national popular vote tells a very different story of the midterms
Last week’s midterm debacle has renewed calls in certain quarters to dump former President Donald Trump, blaming him entirely for the Republican’s poor performance, and to elevate Governor Ron DeSantis after his domination in Florida. We should be wary of both. Many promoting this have vehemently opposed the former President since his candidacy while the… Continue reading Trump and DeSantis: Rumors of one’s political demise are greatly exaggerated, as are calls for the other’s coronation
Votes remain to be counted, but it’s clear the Republicans had a disappointing night, failing to capitalize on voter discontent and underperforming in key states like Pennsylvania and New Hampshire. At the same time, they were in the baffling positioning of over performing in other key states including Florida and Ohio. The question is why.… Continue reading The bloodbath that wasn’t and the baffling return of regional politics
The midterms were always going to be a referendum on President Biden, and no one should be surprised to learn that the country isn’t enthused with a chronically incompetent, serial liar in the White House. This is who Joe Biden has always been. It’s the reason no one wanted him in the first place, and… Continue reading As the midterms are underway, even CNN knows Joe Biden is full of malarkey and always has been
More and more experts are finally acknowledging the lockdown policies were a disaster. In a stunning turn of events, The Atlantic proclaims the need for a pandemic amnesty to reduce existing tensions, but conservatives are in no mood to forgive and forget without a reckoning of some kind. Last week, a leading proponent of coronavirus… Continue reading Coronavirus: Three conditions for a pandemic “amnesty”
The President has chosen to mount a self-interested defense of democracy as his closing message for the midterm elections rather than defend his own record. It’s one of the most cynical strategies in modern memory for furthering dividing Americans in the obvious pursuit of power. It’s also dumb and hopeless because voters know the deal.… Continue reading Biden: Cynical, dumb, hopeless, or all three at the same time?
Elon Musk takes over Twitter and a deranged homeless person invades House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s San Francisco home, injuring her husband. On the surface, the two events do not seem to be related, but both have prompted connected waves of progressive outrage that are only likely to get worse after the result of the midterm… Continue reading The mounting progressive meltdowns are likely get worse
