Confessions of a Conservative Atheist
The world’s only one man media empire
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
At least according to CNN, the answer is yes after they glowingly described the efforts of a sixteen and a seventeen year old from Chicago willing to take any risk for the anti-ICE cause. According to Democrats and their progressive allies, Minneapolis is a war zone, the site of a classic struggle between good and… Continue reading Is “The Battle of Minneapolis” really the right place for children?
This isn’t the first time Springsteen has turned to music in the wake of an American killed by law enforcement or the first time he’s sung about immigration issues. Sadly, he has done so with far better results than his current effort. Let me start by saying that I practically worship Bruce Springsteen. I’ve seen… Continue reading Springsteen’s “Streets of Minneapolis” is a case study in Trump Derangement Syndrome
America has already had this argument and it has already been soundly rejected, legally and at the bloody point of a gun during the Civil War. In fact, three decades before the war itself, President Andrew Jackson confronted this very same thinking during the first nullification crisis. To hear Democrats and their progressive allies tell… Continue reading Reminder: Progressives do not get to decide what’s right and wrong, and other lessons from Jackson’s handling of the first nullification crisis
If you set aside the politics, picking up a flashbang grenade in attempt to throw it at law enforcement officers, begging them to shoot you, driving cars into them, and putting your hands on them while packing heat are decidedly not smart things to do. Let me start by saying in no uncertain terms that… Continue reading A modest proposal: Is it time to bring back the Darwin Awards?
Are we witnessing “The Battle for Minneapolis” as The New Yorker claimed or “Our Gettysburg Moment” as The Bulwark had it, or are progressives simply so far gone they see no danger in taunting men they described as poorly trained thugs with guns? To hear Democrats and their progressive allies tell it, President Donald Trump’s… Continue reading Either progressives truly think this is a war or they have officially lost their minds
Contrary to the conventional wisdom, President Trump cannot simply allow his political adversaries to dictate his actions. No President has ever done so, and none ever will. Full disclosure: I wrote most of this post before the second ICE shooting left a man dead in Minneapolis less than a month after the first on Saturday… Continue reading Democrats in Minnesota and elsewhere desperately need a lesson in the nature of power
While politics ain’t beanbag as they say, if you are going to go so hardcore that you demand blood and insist people get shot for the cause, you better be sure it’s going to work. Earlier this week, I opined that the Democrat’s political strategy was to foment violence and it was the only leverage… Continue reading Violence is rarely a good strategy, but it’s even worse when facing President Trump
Last summer, Democrats called for blood and began training “warriors” to resist ICE. Last week, there was yet another tragic instance of actual blood, blood that was immediately seized upon as leverage to enact their preferred policy of ending deportations. In our system of government, the minority party generally seeks leverage to influence events. Lacking… Continue reading Violence is the Democrat strategy and their only hope for leverage
Rather than accept that the federal government supersedes the states when operating within the sphere of its enumerative powers, the claim then and now was that states could pick and choose which laws they would follow and enforce. In the lead up to the Civil War, slaveholding states embraced the idea that they could nullify… Continue reading The new Democrat nullification movement
