2024 could’ve been a hell of a lot worse, but don’t tell the media that…

When you consider the literal and figurative bullets the world dodged on the way to December 31, things could have been much, much worse, almost unimaginably so, but don’t tell our so-called betters that.  They are mired in misery and think you should be too.  Even in conservative circles, 2024 is getting a bad wrap,… Continue reading 2024 could’ve been a hell of a lot worse, but don’t tell the media that…

The Elon Musk Factor shouldn’t be underestimated in Trump’s second term

There has never been a partnership like the world’s most powerful and world’s richest man seemingly attached at the hip, neither of whom can be intimidated by anyone, under any circumstances, and whom the establishment has absolutely no power or control over.   I’ll admit:  The sight of the world’s most powerful and world’s richest… Continue reading The Elon Musk Factor shouldn’t be underestimated in Trump’s second term

Will progressives ever tire of a media that lies to them repeatedly and treats them like morons?

For almost a decade now, the mainstream media has widely claimed or at least suggested that once and future President Donald Trump was unelectable for an ever changing variety of reasons, ranging from his lack of appeal and the legal onslaught against him.  They were wrong and in many cases, they lied. I can’t be… Continue reading Will progressives ever tire of a media that lies to them repeatedly and treats them like morons?

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

From cat ladies to eating cats, a presidential election like no other in microcosm

While the raging debates over cats – first childless cat ladies and now whether or not Haitian migrants are actually eating felines in Springfield, OH - might seem small on the surface, the ferocity reveals much more fundamental issues underneath. Six months ago, if you were to suggest that the presidential election would be dominated… Continue reading From cat ladies to eating cats, a presidential election like no other in microcosm

The Democrats and the media are still scared shitless of Trump

The media wants you to think of the current race as something akin to a prime 2008 Barack Obama battling a beleaguered 2016 Donald Trump.  The one is the candidate of all our hopes, dreams, and aspirations.  The other is completely unhinged, bitter, angry, and unfit. Both are serious cases of projection... “The lady doth… Continue reading The Democrats and the media are still scared shitless of Trump

JD Vance, Cat Ladies, and an Anatomy of a Fake Scandal

Everyone had a “cat lady” on their block as a child.  The house you crept past for fear of getting yelled at for no reason, the one you’d dread should a stray ball land on her lawn, the door you ran from should it open.  No one, and I mean no one wanted that person… Continue reading JD Vance, Cat Ladies, and an Anatomy of a Fake Scandal

Trump and the convention speech only he could give

Like a kaleidoscope that is constantly shifting, you see everything if you are a fan and nothing if you are a foe.  To say he did it his way, is an underestimate for the ages.  It’s better to say, he did it the only way he knows how, and perhaps the way no one else… Continue reading Trump and the convention speech only he could give

JD Vance and the Republicans’ ideological revolution

The new Republican Party seeks to shift the balance of our interests shifts from abstract American ideals to the practical impact on every day Americans, America as a country like any other, with her own interests, rather than as some easily manipulated metaphor for democracy or human progress.  The same way we can rarely tell… Continue reading JD Vance and the Republicans’ ideological revolution
