The world’s only one man media empire
Some might insist the media has been wrong time and time again, there’s no risk of a permanent break happening now. To me at least, that is a misguided perspective. Because something hasn’t happened, does not mean it will not happen. While some prefer to cling to nonsensical polls insisting 100% of President Donald Trump’s… Continue reading The MAGA split over Iran is real for now, but not necessarily forever
In his second term alone, there have been panicked freakouts about his plans to trim the size of government, tariffs, other taxes, military strikes, and more. While this time might be different, I wouldn’t bet against the President. While I have no special ability to foresee the future and am well aware that past results… Continue reading Reminder: The media and the experts always predict disaster when Trump is involved
Last week, they claimed killing any enemy’s leadership only prolongs a war. On Monday, they claimed the President lied about engaging in talks with Iran. On Tuesday, they insisted we should not have talks at all, pretending Iran is the same now as it was before the war. On Monday, President Donald Trump announced that… Continue reading Iran: As Trump switches into deal making mode, did everyone forget that we’ve been at war for more than three weeks?
The legendary General George S. Patton once quipped, “No dumb bastard ever won a war by going out and dying for his country. He won it by making some other dumb bastard die for his country,” but the experts have suddenly decided otherwise based on at least two false assumptions. On Tuesday, Israel reported that… Continue reading No, killing your enemy’s leadership isn’t a sure fire way to lose a war whatever the experts claim
From the Revolutionary War to World War II, setbacks have been a reality, but perhaps never before has the United States dominated so objectively compared to the naysaying of detractors who are content to repeat Iranian propaganda and prefer to praise the Iranian regime. George Washington has the dubious distinction of having lost more battles… Continue reading Iran: One thing is clear, we better hope we’re never in a war with a real global power because half the country would surrender in a week
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?
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
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
While the two conflicts certainly aren’t the same, there are similarities after several years of fighting, but ironically, conservatives and progressives tend to take the opposite view of each. Admittedly, I have been skeptical of our efforts to help Ukraine prevail against the Russian invasion while being generally supportive of Israel’s efforts against Hamas in… Continue reading Gaza and Ukraine: A tale of two different forever wars
While it remains to be seen if a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, Syria joining the Abraham Accords, and even a group of sheikhs in the West Bank, will come to fruition, clearly something has changed radically in the region over the past six months and just as clearly, that something is President Trump. Shortly… Continue reading A Big, Beautiful Peace Deal in the Middle East?
