Confessions of a Conservative Atheist
The world’s only one man media empire
Liz Cheney takes on Trump again, but places herself at odds with the Republican caucus and Republican voters. This time her future is far more uncertain. Why can’t we just acknowledge that the 2020 election was conducted like no other in American history and move on from there? Doesn’t democracy and the Constitution require as… Continue reading The Big Lie: The battle over the 2020 election rages on
Chauvin is found guilty on all charges, but Democrats demanding justice keep amping up the violent rhetoric. Fight? More confrontational? Demanding a verdict in an independent court case? Defying local government orders? Wasn’t this the kind of thing we called inciting an insurrection just a few short months ago? For obvious reasons, tensions surrounding the… Continue reading Is Maxine Waters an insurrectionist?
President Biden announces a full pull out by September 11, 2021. Technically, it’s a delay from Trump’s planned withdrawal on May 1, but either way all fair minded observers should hope he can succeed where both his predecessors failed and end one of the longest wars in US history. President Joe Biden and I finally… Continue reading Biden: Good luck and Godspeed finally getting us out of Afghanistan
Slipping on the stairs is no big deal, but real stumbles across staffing, foreign policy, and the border that are of much bigger concern. Of course, the media’s reaction to Biden’s stumble is illustrative of the radical difference in coverage we’ve seen between the current and former President. In other words, has anyone called for… Continue reading Biden stumbles, literally and figuratively, face first into Putin
From “concentration camps” to welfare centric “detention centers,” migrant children are back in custody, but, don’t worry, it’s only because Biden is new to the job, even as his administration actually reopens camps that were closed under Trump. Meaning, there will be more kids in cages, get used to it. Earlier this week, the Biden… Continue reading Wait, we’re putting kids in cages again? I thought that was wrong?
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?
