The world’s only one man media empire
The quest for social justice demands you sacrifice your neighborhood for the greater good. Single family homes and the towns supporting them are racist. President Biden is already making moves to crush this evil, and now a new article on Vox.com wants him to go even further. Comply with their demands or your town will… Continue reading Yes, progressives are coming for your single family home
Then President-elect Biden promised to reopen schools in his first 100 days. Now, we learn that promise actually meant 50.01% of schools open at least one day a week, meaning schools don’t really have to open this year. “Hopefully it’s more,” they say. Well, hopefully more students don’t commit suicide in the meantime. There’s nothing… Continue reading Biden lied and students died?
A shady “cabal” coordinates a “conspiracy” on secret Zoom calls attended by “powerful people,” funded by billions of dollars from partisan interests, resulting in a complete rewrite of how we conduct elections. Who are the conspiracy theorists now? “A well-funded cabal of powerful people, ranging across industries and ideologies, working together behind the scenes to… Continue reading Time Magazine: “They were not rigging the election; they were fortifying it”
A new report from The Atlantic of all places suggests a much more complex picture of the supposed insurrection than any of the prevailing Trump as would-be Osama bin Laden narratives, even as Trump’s historic second impeachment trial looms next week. Former President Trump’s second impeachment trial begins next Tuesday, February 9. The charge before… Continue reading The Capitol Attack one month later: Who’s responsible? Trump? Right wing militias? White supremacy? A new domestic terror threat?
Freedom of speech, a norm since 1791. Filibusters since 1837. Nine Justices on the Supreme Court since 1869. 50 states since 1959. All are currently on the chopping block. It’s almost enough to make you think the raging against Donald Trump breaking political norms was just hard-nosed politics and ginned up outrage. Less than two… Continue reading Whatever happened to democratic norms? Free speech, the filibuster, nine Supreme Court Justices, and fifty states, suddenly aren’t norms?
Joe Biden breaks Donald Trump's first week record with 22 executive orders, one of which has already been halted by the courts. The increasing scope of executive orders is almost certain to provoke an honest-to-goodness crisis in the not too distant future, and yet next to no one is talking about the damage waiting to… Continue reading Executive orders are the real looming Constitutional Crisis
Biden is officially sworn in as President with a big speech, bigger executive actions, an adoring mainstream media, an incoming migrant caravan, a pause on deportations, and a small crowd with most of the Capitol on lockdown while the shadow of Trump still looms. Plus, what’s this new equity word? “The contrast on display tonight… Continue reading Love it or hate it, it’s a whole new Washington DC and America at large with the Democrats in charge
No one is likely to call Biden a cult leader anytime soon, the Era of Presidential Idolatry appears to be over, but is that essentially good or bad or just a thing? “I have to tell you, you know, it’s part of reporting this case, this election, the feeling most people get when they hear… Continue reading Biden inspires less passion and is more boring than either of his predecessors, Obama or Trump
The future leader of the free world is outsourcing his response to the assault on the Capitol to Congress, even though it’s going to have a huge effect on his entire Presidency. Does anyone think this is normal? The attack on the Capitol has rocked the entire world and prompted an impeachment filing faster than… Continue reading Where’s Joe Biden? Shouldn’t the President elect be doing something?
A new line of argument claims it’s moral relativism to question the credibility of your political opponents in their pursuit of power. The argument misses the point: We are unequivocally against violence, but political surrender isn’t morally acceptable either. In other words, it takes two to de-escalate. In the wake of the violent, some call… Continue reading After the attack on the Capitol, what about “whataboutism”? Is “moral relativism” on the rise in conservative circles?
