Confessions of a Conservative Atheist
The world’s only one man media empire
You can vote to punish the President if you want, but be careful you don’t end up punishing yourself as well. For obvious reasons, Democrats and their enablers in the mainstream media are desperate to frame the midterm elections, just two weeks from today, as a referendum on President Donald Trump’s time in office to… Continue reading Elections aren’t referendums
While the reaction to the raid on Representative Ilhan Omar’s home is not surprising, what combination of short memories, a belief their audiences have even shorter ones, and self righteousness powers the phenomenon, where something is good when it happens to someone they don’t like, but bad, very bad otherwise? On August 10, 2022, a… Continue reading Government raids: No one likes when the shoe is on the other foot
Complaining about prices and blaming President Trump is one thing, but actually doing something is quite another, and in this regard, Democrats simply aren’t saying and the media is rather bizarrely uninterested in the plan. As everyone knows by now, gas prices are high and for far too many people, the elevated costs are putting… Continue reading Bitching about gas prices shouldn’t be enough to earn a single vote
Do you want secure borders, less crime, less government, more manufacturing, more energy, more money in your pocket, and more economic growth over all to continue even if gas prices are higher than you would like, or do you want to go back to the malaise that prevailed before he retook office? Contrary to the… Continue reading It’s time for Republicans to get off their ass and make the freaking case for the midterms
It seems we have a choice: We can either let the most successful politician of the last hundred years or more do his thing or we can listen to those who have produced nothing except hot air their entire lives. Last week, President Donald Trump prompted something of a complete and total meltdown among so… Continue reading The President’s $5,000 proposal, his success in four charts, and how so-called conservative influencers are getting worse than Democrats these days
Almost 125 years ago, critics of President Teddy Roosevelt described another world-changing deal in Latin America as an un-American imperialist adventure despite having no solution of their own beyond the fantasy that countries will magically become modern democracies thanks to the power of words alone. In 1903, President Teddy Roosevelt secured a deal with the… Continue reading The Venezuelan oil deal, the Panama Canal, and our American values
Whatever some may claim and why ever they may claim it, the road to prosperity isn’t paved by a single product. It’s paved by people making choices based on what they value most and what they can afford, but really, this shouldn’t be that difficult to explain. Last week, social media erupted once again over… Continue reading The $20 burrito, the woke right, the meaning of value, and the reality that personal choice produces better outcomes than government fiats
The Atlantic makes the bizarre argument that conservatives are responsible for 60,000 people storming a peaceful beach in a Spanish territory in North Africa while completely ignoring the obvious role of lax immigration policies around the world. Last week, much of America and the rest of the world was shocked by videos from Ceuta, a… Continue reading No, the real problem with Ceuta being invaded by 60,000 migrants isn’t Republicans or other right wing politicians, it’s the invasion itself
Two weeks in a row an economic report, first on jobs, then on retail spending, smashed expectations, only to be simultaneously dismissed as a positive trend and used as an excuse to raise interest rates. Two weeks ago, the moribund United States job market received a much needed jolt, when the May report from the… Continue reading When good news is bad, the wisemen are all fools once again
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
