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

“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

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

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

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

The fine line between protests and terrorism in the era of safety and security

For better or worse, one of the most significant cultural shifts since the counterculture revolution has been our collective tolerance of risk, and we should not tolerate any activity that violates the current societal norms around safety and public behavior. At the risk of stating the obvious typing away at a keyboard in front of… Continue reading The fine line between protests and terrorism in the era of safety and security

Democrats want Elon Musk to go home, but an anti-American, pro-Palestinian protestor to stay

It’s always about power and it’s never about America.  Progressives, as ever, are more interested in defending those who hate us than supporting those who love us. “It was interesting yesterday I was watching a video of an interview of Elon Musk with someone where he said that the Italians should stay in Italy and… Continue reading Democrats want Elon Musk to go home, but an anti-American, pro-Palestinian protestor to stay

Why moving fast and breaking things is the ideal governing philosophy for our era

The real questions confronting anyone who wants to reform the government and reduce the deficit are:  Is there some better approach that could be carried out with less “chaos” and are we taking on unnecessary risk by using this philosophy? There are many who support President Trump’s goal of streamlining the federal government to make… Continue reading Why moving fast and breaking things is the ideal governing philosophy for our era

Democrats are caught between the rock that is President Trump and the hard place of their supporters who loathe him

To be successful, politicians need to at least seem like they’re driving the conversation, directly engaged on the issues that matter, either contributing to successes and pointing out failures, but progressives hate the President so much, they will not permit anything except resistance. On Tuesday evening, Democrats faced the age-old dilemma of the party out… Continue reading Democrats are caught between the rock that is President Trump and the hard place of their supporters who loathe him

The email heard around the world

What began as an obvious stunt, turned into a trap when it was revealed intelligence officials have the time to discuss castration on government systems and, apparently, the entire government can be thrown into chaos by a simple request. In the annals of American history, perhaps few things are more emblematic of the absurdity of… Continue reading The email heard around the world

The Drunken Sailor Theory of Congressional Appropriations

We have two alternatives.  The first is to assume the President has some power and discretion when it comes to disbursing government funds.  The second is to adopt the new theory that the President must spend every dollar or be in violation of the law and the Constitution itself.  As of January 20, 2025, coincidentally… Continue reading The Drunken Sailor Theory of Congressional Appropriations
