The world’s only one man media empire
The media doesn’t seem to care, indeed is doing its best to hide it, but we cannot have a President doddering around a stage, shaking hands with the empty air without serious repercussions. Talk of the 25th Amendment was all the rage when President Trump was in office. We need some of that now, fast,… Continue reading It’s long past time to discuss President Biden’s obvious mental decline
The world’s richest man and self-proclaimed “free speech absolutist” is now the largest shareholder of the social media platform after haranguing it as a threat to democracy for limiting speech. This isn’t a purely academic point after the platform blatantly interfered in the 2020 election. In a more rational and fair world, Twitter would be… Continue reading Elon Musk: Are much needed changes coming to Twitter?
The President’s trip to Europe was marred by unforced errors, a lack of any coherent strategy, no new and creative plans, and a general sense that trying hard is good enough. Abraham Lincoln at Gettysburg Biden certainly is not. Instead, it seems he’s angling for the first Presidential Participation Trophy. Last week, President Biden traveled… Continue reading Biden and the free word on the brink
If we’re willing to provide Ukraine with fighter jets and advanced weapons systems, why not just go all the way and make them a nuclear power? Some members of Congress and the media seem confused about the meaning of the word “escalatory,” perhaps a bit of hyperbole might help them sort it out. As the… Continue reading Ukraine: Just give them nuclear weapons and all our problems will be solved
King Henry V is a nationalist hero to the English, a villain to the French, and likely something in between to modern audiences. Part heroic warrior, part self-serving, calculating politician, Henry’s rise prompts timeless questions about the nature of power in general. Shakespeare’s Henry V is a subtly yet at times disturbingly contradictory character, a… Continue reading Shakespeare’s Henry V and the timeless politics of power
Last week, the Special Counsel released another round of indictments which the media dutifully ignored and then promptly pretended didn’t mean anything, but one thing is clear: The Clinton campaign was behind the hoax the entire time, funneling false reports to an incredibly naïve and corrupt FBI and the media including the original Steele Dossier,… Continue reading Russian Collusion: The Durham investigation continues apace and the media continues to deny the reality of Hillary Clinton’s role
Last year, I proposed the Trump Test, that is imagine your reaction if Trump was the President instead of Biden, and Trump was the one insulting reporters, tacitly granting permission for Russia to invade Ukraine, and claiming he was “outperforming” expectations in the midst of constant crises. The media had a term for this. They… Continue reading President Biden is unhinged, or at least that’s what the media would be saying were he President Trump
Vice President Kamala Harris invokes attacks that killed thousands of Americans and launched wars that killed thousands more. Speaker Nancy Pelosi welcomes Darth Vader with open arms and takes a break for a musical interlude. President Biden launches the 2024 campaign, and says we’re in a battle for the soul of America, except he’s on… Continue reading The Democrats January 6th festival of the absurd and obscene
Democrats, the mainstream media, and even some Republicans remain obsessed with the January 6 riots, even as their fevered fantasies of a coordinated, armed insurrection have been revealed as completely false. They’re now resorting to doctoring text messages and lying about it to keep the story alive, desperate to go after Trump one more time… Continue reading Yes, conservatives almost universally condemned the January 6th riots, despite lies to the contrary
The pandemic continues and unexpected new crises have cropped up, from halfway around the world, to the border, even into your dining room. There’s nothing normal about America less than a year into the Biden presidency, and almost nothing in the entire world has changed for the better. It’s a miracle Biden’s approval ratings aren’t… Continue reading Biden’s approval rating sucks for obvious reasons that aren’t likely to change
