If Tony Soprano’s “remember when” is the lowest form of conversation, “if then” is the lowest form of political prognostication

While there’s nothing wrong with indulging in a little fantasy, political prognostication is supposed to be more than mental masturbation, and the same as a sane person wouldn’t consider retirement scenarios that included suddenly being as wealthy as Elon Musk, we shouldn’t consider fantastical outcomes as a basis for rational discussion.  Tony Soprano once claimed… Continue reading If Tony Soprano’s “remember when” is the lowest form of conversation, “if then” is the lowest form of political prognostication

Reminder: The media and the experts always predict disaster when Trump is involved

U.S. Capitol building under a dark sky with a tornado, lightning, and heavy rain.

In his second term alone, there have been panicked freakouts about his plans to trim the size of government, tariffs, other taxes, military strikes, and more.  While this time might be different, I wouldn’t bet against the President. While I have no special ability to foresee the future and am well aware that past results… Continue reading Reminder: The media and the experts always predict disaster when Trump is involved

The ChatGPT Resistance is a danger to the country, from the cartel boat strikes to Venezuela, outrage isn’t enough

Christian TwisteLeave a comment

A functioning republic requires real opposition, asking real questions and demanding real answers.  Outrage on its own, recycled forever, in the same form as if it was spat out of a computer, is a threat to the future. At this point, we know the cycle better than we’d like.  In what we can only call… Continue reading The ChatGPT Resistance is a danger to the country, from the cartel boat strikes to Venezuela, outrage isn’t enough

Sydney Sweeney isn’t a Nazi and she’s certainly not ugly

Christian TwisteLeave a comment

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

Yes, President Trump’s cuts to the government are real and they are just the beginning

Christian Twiste2 Comments

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

Tacos, the onset of the silly season, and the repellant stench of desperation emanating from the entire progressive movement

Christian TwisteLeave a comment

They call it the silly season for a reason, but I don’t think anyone was prepared for a prolonged debate about tacos and somehow this was to cause some type of fatal wound to President Trump’s unabashedly masculine image. While the American people have been subject to an explosion of outrage almost every week since… Continue reading Tacos, the onset of the silly season, and the repellant stench of desperation emanating from the entire progressive movement

Trump triumphs in the Middle East, completely upending decades of failed foreign policy and securing billions in new deals

Christian Twiste2 Comments

“In recent years, far too many American presidents have been afflicted with the notion that it’s our job to look into the souls of foreign leaders and use US policy to dispense justice for their sins…I believe it is God’s job to sit in judgment; my job, to defend America and to promote the fundamental… Continue reading Trump triumphs in the Middle East, completely upending decades of failed foreign policy and securing billions in new deals

The Era of Perpetual Outrage

Christian TwisteLeave a comment

Does anyone remember Elon Musk’s supposed Nazi salute? Or when planes were supposedly falling out of they sky in other countries because of President Trump? How about claims the entire government was about to collapse and people were going to die? If President Joe Biden presided over the Era of Perpetual Bailouts, we can confidently… Continue reading The Era of Perpetual Outrage

Senator Cory Booker truly is Spartacus for our diminished times, not that he appears to know who Spartacus actually was

Christian TwisteLeave a comment

Somehow, progressives didn’t realize losing the Presidency would mean losing their influence over events, or for some even stranger reason, they were under the impression that the man they impeached twice, tried to jail and bankrupt, and called every evil name under the sun would be inclined to take their advice on important matters of… Continue reading Senator Cory Booker truly is Spartacus for our diminished times, not that he appears to know who Spartacus actually was

Not all courts or court orders are equal

Christian TwisteLeave a comment

None other than Harvard Law Review called for major reform to the exploding practice of nationwide injunctions less than a year ago, but now that Donald Trump has returned to office, everything has changed and district judges can apparently order the Chief Executive around like a fry cook... Last week, the mainstream media wasted an… Continue reading Not all courts or court orders are equal
