The world’s only one man media empire
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
Inherent in the outrage is the idea that media outlets exist to advance their progressive view of the world, prioritizing their beliefs and preferences above all others. Progressives have whipped themselves into a frenzy over The Washington Post’s decision not to endorse a candidate for president this year or, assuming they stick to it, any… Continue reading The Washington Post’s endorsement “scandal” says a lot more about progressives than anything else
While the raging debates over cats – first childless cat ladies and now whether or not Haitian migrants are actually eating felines in Springfield, OH - might seem small on the surface, the ferocity reveals much more fundamental issues underneath. Six months ago, if you were to suggest that the presidential election would be dominated… Continue reading From cat ladies to eating cats, a presidential election like no other in microcosm
President Clinton isn’t quite a Republican by today’s standards, but he’s much closer to one than the current Democrat Party, and if Democrats still held his positions, or anything like them, there would be broad bipartisan support for any number of major reforms that would benefit the entire country. In yet another common refrain, the… Continue reading Bill Clinton and who the radicals really are
According to conventional wisdom in much of the media and other Democrat-heavy groups, President Trump shouldn’t even be allowed to run again, and yet the makings of one of the most – if not the most – triumphant political comeback of all time are in place. To date, Grover Cleveland is the only President in… Continue reading Is Trump mounting the most triumphant political comeback of all time, or at least since 1892?
Ohio’s recent trust in Republicans doesn’t extend to the abortion issue. Virginia might like and trust Governor Youngkin himself, but they have no faith in an empowered Republican Party. Kentucky, meanwhile, placed its trust in Republicans, only to watch them completely botch critical tax policy. The Republican Party didn’t have the best night last Tuesday,… Continue reading Off year elections: The current political stalemate amid massive polarization is a matter of trust
If there is one rule in politics, it might be summarized: Never be seen to be losing, do not pick fights you cannot win, instead focus on changing the political kaleidoscope until you can win. Republicans, or rather a handful of extreme Republicans, have somehow managed to pick two such fights in barely a month.… Continue reading Matt Gaetz can’t count and other Republican absurdities while ousting a Speaker heading into an election year
The former President isn’t abandoning his position or expecting his supporters to move left on the controversial topic. He’s expecting them to accept reality and trusting in their ability to act rationally, leading rather than hiding behind a pro-life slogan that has no chance of actually becoming law. On Sunday, former President Donald Trump angered… Continue reading Trump and the impossible abortion question
The media would rather shoot the messenger, however inartful or incendiary, than acknowledge the troubling reality that race relations in the United States have gotten far worse since Critical Race Theory, intersectionality, and the woke mentality went mainstream ten years ago. Last week the creator of Dilbert, a popular comic strip skewering life in the… Continue reading Dilbert is done, but let’s not pretend Scott Adams wasn’t reacting to a disturbing development
The conventional wisdom holds that abortion will be a decisive issue in the midterm elections and beyond, providing a much needed edge for Democrats, enough to defy historical trends, but there are two reasons why that might not be the case and some cracks in the wisdom are already showing. Ever since the Supreme Court’s… Continue reading Abortion: Two reasons the controversial issue might not be the gamechanger progressives expect
