No, the world didn’t begin on January 20 when President Trump retook office

We have two choices when the Democrats and the media assert President Donald Trump’s actions are unprecedented in anything other than the pace, volume, and effectiveness.  Either they truly believe the world began on January 20, 2025, or they think you are stupid enough to believe so yourself.  To hear Democrats, progressives, and their allies… Continue reading No, the world didn’t begin on January 20 when President Trump retook office

Progressives should’ve listened to Chuck Schumer because they are the ones now reaping the whirlwind

While some say this more aggressive use of power will come back to haunt us as Democrats regain these same powers and use them in turn, conservatives have already been silenced and punished.  There is little more that they can do, and a little retribution is more than well deserved. “You have unleashed the whirlwind… Continue reading Progressives should’ve listened to Chuck Schumer because they are the ones now reaping the whirlwind

Russian collusion: A fake conspiracy about a fake conspiracy?

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?

Reminder: President Obama cut spending over 4% in 2012 and 2013, but the world didn’t end, despite claims we were heading over the cliff without brakes

While you wouldn’t know it from the collective outrage visited upon us daily, between 2011 and 2013, total federal spending fell from $3.6 trillion to $3.45 trillion, but then as now, many predicted disasters that simply didn’t happen.  As is so often the case in our increasingly absurdist times, the conventional wisdom holds that all… Continue reading Reminder: President Obama cut spending over 4% in 2012 and 2013, but the world didn’t end, despite claims we were heading over the cliff without brakes

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

Advise and consent or rave and rant?  There was no decency or sanity to be had at the Senate’s confirmation hearings

Previously, Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanagh’s hearings in September 2018 were a high, or perhaps, I should say, low water mark in this regard, but we have to give the good Senators credit for outdoing themselves at least. Over the past several decades, Senate confirmation hearings have transformed from staid, boring, if-not-banal formalities into a… Continue reading Advise and consent or rave and rant?  There was no decency or sanity to be had at the Senate’s confirmation hearings

Win or lose, Trump did it his way and that was enough to be the defining political figure of our age

No one in American history, perhaps even the history of the world, has ever confronted this level of opposition, both from his self-proclaimed detractors and the broader establishment, and not changed their attitude, style, or approach in the slightest.  Passionately adored by his supporters and just as passionately hated by his detractors, the only thing… Continue reading Win or lose, Trump did it his way and that was enough to be the defining political figure of our age

Trump’s intentionally salacious trials, from Stormy Daniels testimony to the FBI staging lurid photos

Stormy Daniels tells the court she spanked a former President with a rolled up magazine that had his photo on the cover before insisting she can speak to dead people while the FBI admits to staging the legal equivalent of pornography with a sensational photo of altered classified documents. While the media has been obsessed… Continue reading Trump’s intentionally salacious trials, from Stormy Daniels testimony to the FBI staging lurid photos

Free speech, the Supreme Court, and the closed loop conspiracy of supposed misinformation experts

The government funds left-leaning experts who pretend to be independent arbiters of the truth, then takes the findings from the people they are paying, and pressures or even sometimes extorts companies to censor content at their bidding. The Supreme Court, unfortunately, might continue to allow it. Last week, the Supreme Court heard oral arguments in… Continue reading Free speech, the Supreme Court, and the closed loop conspiracy of supposed misinformation experts

Oppenheimer and the FBI’s long history of both spying and lying to destroy political dissidents

Oppenheimer broke laws, was not investigated for any crime or formally charged with one, and yet he was subject to every type of surveillance imaginable at the time. The output of this effort ran to thousands of pages and the contents were frequently used to issue false statements as part of coordinated smear campaign implicitly… Continue reading Oppenheimer and the FBI’s long history of both spying and lying to destroy political dissidents
