A modest proposal: Is it time to bring back the Darwin Awards?

Darwin Awards

If you set aside the politics, picking up a flashbang grenade in attempt to throw it at law enforcement officers, begging them to shoot you, driving cars into them, and putting your hands on them while packing heat are decidedly not smart things to to do. Let me start by saying in no uncertain terms… Continue reading A modest proposal: Is it time to bring back the Darwin Awards?

Democrats against democracy

By almost any definition, democracies are based on the government implementing the will of the people as expressed in elections, but the people have spoken and suddenly, that will must be denied by any means necessary.  In the history of American politics, few things were more clear than President Donald Trump’s pledge to conduct mass… Continue reading Democrats against democracy

Violence is the Democrat strategy and their only hope for leverage

Violence is the Democrat Strategy

Last summer, Democrats called for blood and began training “warriors” to resist ICE.  Last week, there was yet another tragic instance of actual blood, blood that was immediately seized upon as leverage to enact their preferred policy of ending deportations.  In our system of government, the minority party generally seeks leverage to influence events.  Lacking… Continue reading Violence is the Democrat strategy and their only hope for leverage

A stunning raid, the usual outrage, and the importance of action after decades of blather

Stunning Raid

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 clock is ticking on the economy, but there are certainly positive signs as the new year rolls in

The border is secure, the government has been slashed, tariffs are in place, Most Favored Nation status has been achieved with major brands, and the Big Beautiful Bill is law.  That leaves only two questions that matter:  Will this work and will Americans feel the positive impacts in time for the midterms?  Last week, President… Continue reading The clock is ticking on the economy, but there are certainly positive signs as the new year rolls in

Trump, the affordability scam, and the truth that we buy too much junk

Progressives ignored high prices for years, mocked those who worried about inflation, and for decades have waged a war on consumerism, but suddenly, we’re supposed to believe the American Dream is measured in cheap plastic dolls. Over the past several weeks, President Donald Trump has been heavily criticized from the left and some on the… Continue reading Trump, the affordability scam, and the truth that we buy too much junk

Disgusting: The media is happy to undermine US foreign policy if they believe it hurts Trump

Rather than ask a substantiative question about the future of the Middle East and the world, the media preferred to focus on an eight year old murder and invoke 9-11 to embarrass the President and the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia in person. Last week, President Donald Trump welcomed Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman… Continue reading Disgusting: The media is happy to undermine US foreign policy if they believe it hurts Trump

Is there any peak to Democrat delusions or can the insanity increase forever?

The real Epstein question is whether these increasingly extreme delusions – and, yes, anyone who thinks an already well covered “scandal” regarding a person that’s been dead for almost six years will take down a sitting President is deluded – will ever end.  Sadly, there is no evidence that’s the case.  In the world of… Continue reading Is there any peak to Democrat delusions or can the insanity increase forever?

No, endless subsidies do not make healthcare or anything else more affordable

If the government were to subsidize Ferraris for a year, that doesn’t mean the cost of a Ferrari will go up when the subsidies expire.  It means the amount of money given to you to purchase a Ferrari went down. If there is a healthcare deal to be had, it cannot simply be to expand… Continue reading No, endless subsidies do not make healthcare or anything else more affordable

Is it time to nuke the filibuster from orbit and let partisan politics sort it out?

Should a minority party be able to shutter the government and by their own admission, cause widespread suffering because of a tool some have claimed is a relic of slavery, especially when the nature of that tool has changed dramatically?  Generally speaking, I am a fan of the filibuster.  While the mainstream media and President… Continue reading Is it time to nuke the filibuster from orbit and let partisan politics sort it out?
