You need to be living in a simulation to believe Trump is sick or suddenly died while insisting for years Biden was fit as the proverbial fiddle

Christian TwisteLeave a comment

How else can you explain last weekend’s progressive delusion that President Trump suddenly died and the truth was being hidden for some unexplained, yet undoubtedly nefarious reason while his predecessor President Biden was healthy as the proverbial horse?  While I have never been a fan of so-called scientific theories that claim we are living in… Continue reading You need to be living in a simulation to believe Trump is sick or suddenly died while insisting for years Biden was fit as the proverbial fiddle

An atheist on the power of prayer

Power of Prayer

Beyond the inability to understand the basic nature of prayer, one must wonder what kind of complete asshole – as Stanley Kubrick might say – outright rejects and belittles a prayer offered on their or someone else’s behalf to begin with?   While the average American was still reeling from the tragic news that Robin Westman,… Continue reading An atheist on the power of prayer

Trump’s stake in Intel and the free market fantasy

Christian TwisteLeave a comment

“I don’t care if it’s a dollar or a billion-dollar stake,” Republican Senator Thom Tillis protested. “That starts feeling like a semi state-owned enterprise à la CCCP,” he added, referring to the old acronym for the USSR.  “I don’t believe the U.S. government should be picking winners and losers.”  President Donald Trump’s almost unprecedented decision… Continue reading Trump’s stake in Intel and the free market fantasy

Gaza and Ukraine: A tale of two different forever wars

War and peace

While the two conflicts certainly aren’t the same, there are similarities after several years of fighting, but ironically, conservatives and progressives tend to take the opposite view of each.  Admittedly, I have been skeptical of our efforts to help Ukraine prevail against the Russian invasion while being generally supportive of Israel’s efforts against Hamas in… Continue reading Gaza and Ukraine: A tale of two different forever wars

Trump, the Bolton raid, and my conservative principles

Christian TwisteLeave a comment

The real question is whether justice has indeed been blind to the point where these and potentially other actions are fundamentally altering its nature, or has justice been transformed into the raw exercise of power rather than the pursuit of truth and fairness. Last week, critics of President Trump and his supporters on both the… Continue reading Trump, the Bolton raid, and my conservative principles

Don’t look now, but Democrats suddenly have a white savior complex, lavishing love on a dude for being traditionally Caucasian and imitating Donald Trump

Christian TwisteLeave a comment

The combination of the artificiality and their sudden desire to champion beautiful, rich white people like Governor Gavin Newsom at least partially for being beautiful, rich, and white seems at odds with their decades long obsession with people of color and fear of the white savior complex There’s no doubt that California Governor Gavin Newsom… Continue reading Don’t look now, but Democrats suddenly have a white savior complex, lavishing love on a dude for being traditionally Caucasian and imitating Donald Trump

The self-proclaimed defenders of democracy aren’t defending anything close to what most people consider American democracy

Christian TwisteLeave a comment

Surely, any pretension of protecting democracy was fatally undermined by a call to rewrite the entire Constitution and related musings on why the military leadership hasn’t done more to undermine the Commander in Chief. Anyone who thinks irony is dead should consider the current progressive positions on the nature of democracy.  On one hand, they… Continue reading The self-proclaimed defenders of democracy aren’t defending anything close to what most people consider American democracy

Epstein, redistricting, and what connects two issues voters don’t really care about

Christian TwisteLeave a comment

They call the summer the silly season for a reason, but perhaps this particular summer is sillier than others as politicians, the media, and political junkies on social media obsess over two very different issues while the American people enjoy their barbecues and vacations. Over the past month, a man who died in 2019 has… Continue reading Epstein, redistricting, and what connects two issues voters don’t really care about

The political beatdowns will continue until one side or the other begs for mercy

Christian TwisteLeave a comment

While self-awareness and an appreciation for irony might be at historical lows, did Democrats think Trump was going to play nice after they impeached him twice, tried to ban him from the ballot, bankrupt his businesses, and put him in jail for several lifetimes? Though much virtual ink has been shed on the extremity of… Continue reading The political beatdowns will continue until one side or the other begs for mercy

Reminder: Democrats should love tariffs because they have wanted to raise taxes for years

Christian Twiste2 Comments

While we might forgive politicians for a little politicking, it’s more than a little ironic for Democrats to abandon a core tenet of their philosophy and pretend higher taxes haven’t been a long term goal. On December 1, 2010, Alan Simpson and Erskine Bowles concluded President Barack Obama’s National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform… Continue reading Reminder: Democrats should love tariffs because they have wanted to raise taxes for years
