The Democratic Socialists of America want to abolish the Senate, the Supreme Court, and the Presidency, but where are the Democrat Champions of Democracy?

Two teams of muscular people competing in a tug of war in a historic stone arena

If mainstream party members fail to act, Democrat Senate candidates and eventually the 2028 Presidential nominee will be in the bizarre position of being asked whether they support abolishing their own positions in the government.  As far as political platforms go, the Democratic Socialists of America’s “Workers Deserve More” is radical almost beyond description to… Continue reading The Democratic Socialists of America want to abolish the Senate, the Supreme Court, and the Presidency, but where are the Democrat Champions of Democracy?

The perverse incentives that will drive the 2028 Democrat primary and the sad story of Representative Ro Khanna

Stage with podium and banners reading solidarity of the working class and power to the people

Whoever wants to be the nominee in 2028, needs to understand that the modern Democrat Party is in the process of both being devoured by Democratic Socialists and consumed by Trump derangement. Once upon a time, Ro Khanna was considered a reasonable Democrat in Republican circles.  While the Representative from Silicon Valley might’ve been unabashedly… Continue reading The perverse incentives that will drive the 2028 Democrat primary and the sad story of Representative Ro Khanna

The strange state of the conflict in Iran and why Republicans better hope something happens soon

The war has entered a sort of slow moving stasis rather than anything resembling the frenetic pace of the first five weeks and time is running out to pivot to the midterm elections. I’ll admit it upfront:  I didn’t expect the Iran War to devolve into a non-ceasefire ceasefire for almost a full month.  While… Continue reading The strange state of the conflict in Iran and why Republicans better hope something happens soon

The MAGA split over Iran is real for now, but not necessarily forever

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

Reminder: The media and the experts always predict disaster when Trump is involved

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

Iran: As Trump switches into deal making mode, did everyone forget that we’ve been at war for more than three weeks?

Iran Peace Talks

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?

No, killing your enemy’s leadership isn’t a sure fire way to lose a war whatever the experts claim

General George S. Patton

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

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

World at War

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

When, exactly, was politics normal like the Democrats claim?

Normal

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

Christian TwisteLeave a comment

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
