The world’s only one man media empire
I’ve long maintained that politics is the pursuit of power, but it’s not everyday that politicians so clearly demand changing the rules of the game to suit their needs and democracy without rules isn’t democracy at all. Less than two weeks ago, Democrats were giddy that Virginia voters narrowly supported a referendum for a supposedly… Continue reading Reminder: Democracy continues to be whatever Democrats claim at the moment and that just happens to be what will make them more powerful
At this point, the only thing I really want to see is an end to the self-righteous sanctimony and an open admission that the gerrymander wars are what politics is always about, power, plain and simple. Last week Virginia upended the midterms by narrowly passing a referendum to the state constitution that allows for a… Continue reading Why I don’t give a crap about the gerrymander wars
The ceasefire is shaky, but we know this: After what everyone said wouldn’t happen, magically happened, they still concluded that what happened was bad, all without missing a beat. It’s impossible to capture the insanity that President Donald Trump’s detractors attempted to pass off as wisdom over the past five weeks in a single post,… Continue reading Trump, Iran, and the art of the impossible deal
Last year, Democrats put the country through the longest shutdown in history and have precisely nothing to show for it. The situation is even worse for them right now, but Trump Derangement and the constant belief that this time things will be different, is a sad yet powerful thing. Though the ink is barely dry… Continue reading Don’t look now, but Democrats are picking yet another funding battle they will lose
It’s hard to believe we are less than six months from the targeted assassination of Charlie Kirk. Back then, turning down the rhetoric was all the rage, but now everyone loves the smell of napalm in the morning. “I love the smell of napalm in the morning,” exclaims Lieutenant Bill Kilgore in Apocalypse Now as… Continue reading Progressives go full Apocalypse Now
As a general rule, at least some policies are going to have a neutral impact if only because they are ineffective, not everything is going to be illegal or unconstitutional, and the worst possible political and other outcome isn’t going to happen in every situation. While it’s traditional for the opposition party to oppose, I… Continue reading The Orange Man Bad Theory of Everything
In today’s fast pace, media saturated, meme driven world, old school messaging and advertising will not be enough, especially in the face of historical trends. The public, most of the time, craves something different, a fearlessness and a boldness that the old guard is unwilling to deliver, and if Republicans cannot deliver it, they will… Continue reading The post-Trump world isn’t pretty for Republicans, but there’s a lesson from proud socialist and now NYC Mayor Elect Zohran Mamdani
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
Why would any rational human being planning a political campaign believe people outside the Democrat bubble are feeling anything resembling joy? This is joy as some kind of mass delusion or projection, a mind virus rather than a serious political movement. Previously, I have opined that describing political matters as joyous or infused with joy… Continue reading This new “politics of joy” is extremely weird
While calls for him to exit continue, the Democrat National Convention is barely a month away, beginning on August 19 in Chicago, IL. To me at least, it is inconceivable that anyone would attempt to swap candidates after this seminal event. Last Thursday – two short days before the assassination attempt on former President Donald… Continue reading Can Biden beat the count and make it to the convention?
