Ranking presidential “greatness” and the intellectual bankruptcy of the academic establishment

Academics would have us believe that Joe Biden – who was recently deemed mentally incompetent by his own Justice Department – has made a better president than the likes of Ronald Reagan, Ulysses S. Grant, and James Monroe, not to mention Andrew freaking Jackson?  Late last year, the “2024 Presidential Greatness Project Expert Survey” was… Continue reading Ranking presidential “greatness” and the intellectual bankruptcy of the academic establishment

Trump and the truth about NATO that the establishment refuses to admit

For reasons that remain unexplained, but likely have to do with money and a penchant for talk over action, the conventional wisdom will simply not admit that President Trump is in good company with his skepticism, none other than George Washington himself. Last weekend, former President Donald Trump provoked somewhat bipartisan outrage in establishment circles… Continue reading Trump and the truth about NATO that the establishment refuses to admit

The entire Biden Presidency is an outrage encapsulated in one Special Counsel report

President Biden is only in office because of endless lies and double standards, an outrage that occurred because of corruption and deceit at the highest levels of American life and continues because no accounting of any kind has occurred.  Last Thursday, Special Counsel Robert Hur, who had been charged with investigating President Joe Biden’s possession… Continue reading The entire Biden Presidency is an outrage encapsulated in one Special Counsel report

Republicans can’t count part two, and other recent obscenities in Congress

A failed impeachment vote, a failed aid to Israel vote, and the even more spectacular failure of a supposedly bipartisan border security bill in less than 72 hours caps a week that will live in infamy. Last year, I opined that the Republicans can’t count following the disastrous ousting of Speaker of the House Kevin… Continue reading Republicans can’t count part two, and other recent obscenities in Congress

Biden’s increasingly bizarre approach to the Middle East is caused by a lack of vision behind his actions

We’re de-escalating the situation by escalating it, and we’re launching acts of war to avoid a war, both strategies no one can really make sense of and no one would should be surprised are not producing any measurable result.  Over the weekend, the Biden Administration responded to the recent killing of three American servicemen by… Continue reading Biden’s increasingly bizarre approach to the Middle East is caused by a lack of vision behind his actions

Biden’s border bullshit

The plan is to pretend the President didn’t campaign on opening up the border to everyone, didn’t proceed to roll back every successful policy as soon as he got into office, and didn’t watch millions upon millions stream in for three years. Shortly after President Joe Biden took office, I opined that he was committing… Continue reading Biden’s border bullshit

Why is anyone surprised the UN’s Palestinian Relief Agency is crawling with terrorists and President Biden is doing nothing about it?

The UNRWA has a long history of flirting with if not outright supporting terrorism, which is one of the reasons former President Trump cut off funding in 2018. Otherwise, the UN itself was chartered primarily to allow Soviet Russia to influence world affairs, making it a cesspool in 1945 and an even worse cesspool today. Last… Continue reading Why is anyone surprised the UN’s Palestinian Relief Agency is crawling with terrorists and President Biden is doing nothing about it?

Joe Biden is no Marlon Brando, lessons from the Godfather on his failing foreign policy

The real world of international relations is not a movie, but some key lessons and insights are the same. You can be at war without wanting to be at war and you cannot win a war without knowing who your true enemy is, forget telling them in advance what you will and will not do.  “Tattaglia’s… Continue reading Joe Biden is no Marlon Brando, lessons from the Godfather on his failing foreign policy

The “vibecession,” the truth about the economy, and the resilience of the American dream

Like Bidenomics before it, the vibecession rests on two false assumptions, first that the economy is either the best ever or the worst ever, and second that declining inflation means declining prices. Besides, if the economy is so good, why is everyone saying the American dream is dead? Following the failure of “Bidenomics” to change people’s… Continue reading The “vibecession,” the truth about the economy, and the resilience of the American dream

2024 will not be a good year for electric cars, but of course that has nothing to do with the entire plan or the Biden Administration

These contraptions satisfy next to no one outside of a few specific buyers with unique needs, and, of course, our government overlords that are desperate to restrict our mobility to save the planet. Last week, the rental car giant, Hertz, announced a huge reduction in its electric vehicle fleet, selling some 20,000 cars, about a… Continue reading 2024 will not be a good year for electric cars, but of course that has nothing to do with the entire plan or the Biden Administration
