There doesn’t seem to be a single element of the status quo the President finds acceptable and whenever he happens to determine something is unacceptable, he has not hesitated to put his entire Presidency and its ultimately legacy on the line. In some other universe, Donald Trump retook office on January 20, 2025 and proceeded… Continue reading The ridiculous audacity of Donald Trump

Iran: Comparisons to Iraq are only helpful to a point when the world has changed
Less than 20 years ago, the phrase “Arab Street” generally meant a collection of countries that were both anti-Israel and largely opposed to the United States. Mainly thanks to President Trump himself, the region has flipped from adversary to ally and that might be enough. President Donald Trump’s bold, risky, some would say reckless decision… Continue reading Iran: Comparisons to Iraq are only helpful to a point when the world has changed
When, exactly, was politics normal like the Democrats claim?
Democrats plan to counter Trump’s State of the Union by claiming these aren’t normal times. Me? I’ve got a few questions about the past three decades the American people have been forced to suffer through and I would like their opinion on whether any of it was normal. Tomorrow evening, some leading Democrats are planning… Continue reading When, exactly, was politics normal like the Democrats claim?
Trump is simply an another level than other politicians, love him or hate him, for better or worse
Last week he launched TrumpRx.com. If you were to ask me to trade his accomplishments – many like revitalizing the Monroe Doctrine or being instrumental in overturning Roe Vs. Wade that I had only previously dreamed of – for less boorish and at times offensive behavior, I’d take the accomplishments every single time. Whether you… Continue reading Trump is simply an another level than other politicians, love him or hate him, for better or worse
Progressives go full Apocalypse Now
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
Violence is rarely a good strategy, but it’s even worse when facing President Trump
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
Democrats are all in against President Trump, but they might find themselves boxed in later this year
Progressives are betting entirely on hatred of the President and a disaster of any kind, but what if that disaster never occurs? While it is normal for the opposition party to oppose, I don’t think many would argue that opposition to President Trump is on an entirely different level than anything we have seen… Continue reading Democrats are all in against President Trump, but they might find themselves boxed in later this year
The Monroe Doctrine is more important than ever, disavowing it in 2013 was a tragic mistake
Our adversaries have only gotten more emboldened since Senator John Kerry declared the doctrine dead, making it difficult to see how announcing the United States would no longer oppose foreign meddling in Latin America didn’t encourage them to meddle even more. On December 2, 1823, President James Monroe, only the fifth person to occupy the… Continue reading The Monroe Doctrine is more important than ever, disavowing it in 2013 was a tragic mistake
A stunning raid, the usual outrage, and the importance of action after decades of blather
What do our indictments, proclamations, sanctions, and speeches mean if Venezuelan Presidents Hugo Chavez and Nicolas Maduro were allowed to operate with impunity? Over the weekend, President Donald Trump stunned the world including many of his own supporters by authorizing a daring military operation to capture Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro in the capital city of… Continue reading A stunning raid, the usual outrage, and the importance of action after decades of blather
The Orange Man Bad Theory of Everything
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
