Either progressives truly think this is a war or they have officially lost their minds

Are we witnessing “The Battle for Minneapolis” as The New Yorker claimed or “Our Gettysburg Moment” as The Bulwark had it, or are progressives simply so far gone they see no danger in taunting men they described as poorly trained thugs with guns? To hear Democrats and their progressive allies tell it, President Donald Trump’s… Continue reading Either progressives truly think this is a war or they have officially lost their minds

Democrats in Minnesota and elsewhere desperately need a lesson in the nature of power

Presidential Power

Contrary to the conventional wisdom, President Trump cannot simply allow his political adversaries to dictate his actions.  No President has ever done so, and none ever will.  Full disclosure:  I wrote most of this post before the second ICE shooting left a man dead in Minneapolis less than a month after the first on Saturday… Continue reading Democrats in Minnesota and elsewhere desperately need a lesson in the nature of power

Greenland’s strategic importance has been beyond dispute for decades, the only question is how to secure its future

Greenland

At this point, if anyone truly believes either Denmark or the broader European Union can be trusted to safeguard Greenland against Russia and China, there’s an old expression about a bridge for sale.  In season two of Netflix’ of The Diplomat, the potential for Russia to launch a sneak attack against the United States by… Continue reading Greenland’s strategic importance has been beyond dispute for decades, the only question is how to secure its future

Democrats against democracy

By almost any definition, democracies are based on the government implementing the will of the people as expressed in elections, but the people have spoken and suddenly, that will must be denied by any means necessary.  In the history of American politics, few things were more clear than President Donald Trump’s pledge to conduct mass… Continue reading Democrats against democracy

Violence is rarely a good strategy, but it’s even worse when facing President Trump

President Trump Outrage

While politics ain’t beanbag as they say, if you are going to go so hardcore that you demand blood and insist people get shot for the cause, you better be sure it’s going to work.  Earlier this week, I opined that the Democrat’s political strategy was to foment violence and it was the only leverage… Continue reading Violence is rarely a good strategy, but it’s even worse when facing President Trump

Violence is the Democrat strategy and their only hope for leverage

Violence is the Democrat Strategy

Last summer, Democrats called for blood and began training “warriors” to resist ICE.  Last week, there was yet another tragic instance of actual blood, blood that was immediately seized upon as leverage to enact their preferred policy of ending deportations.  In our system of government, the minority party generally seeks leverage to influence events.  Lacking… Continue reading Violence is the Democrat strategy and their only hope for leverage

Democrats are all in against President Trump, but they might find themselves boxed in later this year

Progressives are betting entirely on hatred of the President and a disaster of any kind, but what if that disaster never occurs?   While it is normal for the opposition party to oppose, I don’t think many would argue that opposition to President Trump is on an entirely different level than anything we have seen… Continue reading Democrats are all in against President Trump, but they might find themselves boxed in later this year

Minnesota fraud and the true nature of modern progressive governance

This is the government as a money laundering operation, one hand washing the other on someone else’s dime, and sadly that appears to be the modern progressive way.  If caring for the poor, disadvantaged, and disabled was as important as they claim, none of this would’ve happened.  In principle, every fair minded person should be… Continue reading Minnesota fraud and the true nature of modern progressive governance

A stunning raid, the usual outrage, and the importance of action after decades of blather

Stunning Raid

What do our indictments, proclamations, sanctions, and speeches mean if Venezuelan Presidents Hugo Chavez and Nicolas Maduro were allowed to operate with impunity? Over the weekend, President Donald Trump stunned the world including many of his own supporters by authorizing a daring military operation to capture Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro in the capital city of… Continue reading A stunning raid, the usual outrage, and the importance of action after decades of blather

The clock is ticking on the economy, but there are certainly positive signs as the new year rolls in

The border is secure, the government has been slashed, tariffs are in place, Most Favored Nation status has been achieved with major brands, and the Big Beautiful Bill is law.  That leaves only two questions that matter:  Will this work and will Americans feel the positive impacts in time for the midterms?  Last week, President… Continue reading The clock is ticking on the economy, but there are certainly positive signs as the new year rolls in
