The world’s only one man media empire
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
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
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
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
From endless protests and outrage to personal crying and venting on social media, progressives aren’t having any fun in this political climate, as in so long as President Trump remains in office, and they don’t want you to do so either. It’s no secret that progressives are miserable, veering from outrage to depression with a… Continue reading The progressive war on fun and those who are having it
As President Trump proceeds with his tariff policy and an appeals court prepares a ruling on whether that policy is lawful in the first place, some are claiming that tariffs fundamentally violate various conservative economic and Constitutional principles. As President Donald Trump proceeds with phase two of his tariff policy and an appeals court prepares… Continue reading Trump, tariffs, and my conservative principles
What are we to make of all this furor over an innocuous ad featuring a major celebrity that uses a well established pun for 45 years simply because she happens to be beautiful with blonde hair and blue eyes? In one of the most bizarre and unexpected stories in recent memory, Sydney Sweeney, among the… Continue reading Sydney Sweeney isn’t a Nazi and she’s certainly not ugly
The purveyors of the fake Russian collusion conspiracy theory now find themselves claiming they in fact are the victims of a fake conspiracy theory perpetrated by Donald Trump himself. In one of the richest ironies in recent memory, the purveyors of the fake Russian collusion conspiracy theory, those that spent years and millions upon millions… Continue reading Russian collusion: A fake conspiracy about a fake conspiracy?
If the Journal’s reporting on a supposed birthday letter President Trump sent to Jeffrey Epstein 22 years ago is any indication, the media has chosen to continue the unsustainable practices that have made them among the least trusted institutions in American life. Under normal circumstances, an industry driven by trust would do everything possible to… Continue reading Trump, Epstein, The Wall Street Journal, and the media’s ongoing suicide
Over the past week, following the Senate’s passage of the first rescission bill and the Supreme Court’s tacit approval of President Trump’s proposed reorganization of several federal agencies, we finally have some real data about the extent of these cuts and they are meaningful. Before the Big Beautiful Bill was signed into law on the… Continue reading Yes, President Trump’s cuts to the government are real and they are just the beginning
