Progressives should’ve listened to Chuck Schumer because they are the ones now reaping the whirlwind

While some say this more aggressive use of power will come back to haunt us as Democrats regain these same powers and use them in turn, conservatives have already been silenced and punished.  There is little more that they can do, and a little retribution is more than well deserved. “You have unleashed the whirlwind… Continue reading Progressives should’ve listened to Chuck Schumer because they are the ones now reaping the whirlwind

Advise and consent or rave and rant?  There was no decency or sanity to be had at the Senate’s confirmation hearings

Previously, Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanagh’s hearings in September 2018 were a high, or perhaps, I should say, low water mark in this regard, but we have to give the good Senators credit for outdoing themselves at least. Over the past several decades, Senate confirmation hearings have transformed from staid, boring, if-not-banal formalities into a… Continue reading Advise and consent or rave and rant?  There was no decency or sanity to be had at the Senate’s confirmation hearings

Trump stands alone in a historic victory unlike any other, an unstoppable force emerging more powerful than ever

For all the talk of having a front row to history, this is what it really looks like in action.  I used to believe there was no crazier son of a bitch to occupy the Oval Office than Teddy Roosevelt, no greater unstoppable force, but the Bull Moose might have just been taken down a… Continue reading Trump stands alone in a historic victory unlike any other, an unstoppable force emerging more powerful than ever

A civil debate, but not for the reasons many think

In a wise strategic decision for both campaigns, Governor Walz focused almost exclusively on former President Trump’s unfitness for office and Senator Vance presented a calm, compelling, and rational case for President Trump without the usual bombast. Much has been made of the fact that Tuesday’s Vice Presidential debate between Senator JD Vance and Governor… Continue reading A civil debate, but not for the reasons many think

Does anyone truly believe that Trump doesn’t truly believe the election was stolen in 2020?

According to the indictment, the former President does not have to be right on the facts or the law.  The underlying issue is not what actually happened and what could be done about it.  He simply has to believe what he said was true and the entire case goes away. Last week, Special Counsel Jack… Continue reading Does anyone truly believe that Trump doesn’t truly believe the election was stolen in 2020?

Defund the Department of Justice?

Another round of illegal leaks concerning yet another investigation into former President Donald Trump.  Another round of speculation in the media that the walls are closing in, and all the while Attorney General Merrick Garland and his boss, President Joe Biden, continue hiding behind the idea that they can’t comment on ongoing investigations, only leak… Continue reading Defund the Department of Justice?

All the Never-Trumpers: We’ve seen this movie many times and it always ends the same

“Bombshell” testimony that promptly falls apart followed by “legal” analysis that the walls are closing in and President Trump is certain to be charged with some unspeakable crime, stop me if you’ve heard it all before.  Regardless, another tired sequel aired just this week in Congress with the same tired stories, only the names have… Continue reading All the Never-Trumpers: We’ve seen this movie many times and it always ends the same

January 6: The insurrection investigation has been televised

The House Select Committee on January 6th debuted in prime time last week to much media fanfare and a large viewership, but the things they aren’t concerned about like why President Trump wanted 20,000 National Guard troops at the Capitol if he planned to mount a coup that day might tell you more about their… Continue reading January 6: The insurrection investigation has been televised

The FBI has a long history of using confidential informants in legally and morally ambiguous ways

The Justice Department is refusing to answer questions about the possible role confidential informants played in the January 6th riots at the Capitol Building, prompting many conservatives to wonder if they helped incite the mob.  They have every reason to be suspicious after the FBI has used these techniques for decades against both left and… Continue reading The FBI has a long history of using confidential informants in legally and morally ambiguous ways

The Democrats January 6th festival of the absurd and obscene

Vice President Kamala Harris invokes attacks that killed thousands of Americans and launched wars that killed thousands more.  Speaker Nancy Pelosi welcomes Darth Vader with open arms and takes a break for a musical interlude.  President Biden launches the 2024 campaign, and says we’re in a battle for the soul of America, except he’s on… Continue reading The Democrats January 6th festival of the absurd and obscene
