DeSantis supporters sure are getting desperate while Biden himself gets older and even more tired
President Biden officially entered the race with a broadside against his opposition which if the polls are any indication is likely to be former President Trump, setting up a rematch of the oldest in history.

Yes, President Biden is coming for middle income Americans, not just the rich
The President has always promised not to raise taxes on those making less than $400,000 per year, but now we learn that fees applied to mortgages don’t count in his mind, or transactions on Venmo or PayPal of more than $600 per year in what mounts to a war on responsibility. “The one thing all… Continue reading Yes, President Biden is coming for middle income Americans, not just the rich
Is there an epidemic of doorbell and driveway shootings we aren’t aware of?
How the media transformed three isolated accidental shootings into a commentary on race and the radical irresponsibility of gun owners in America, creating an entirely new category of ringing doorbells while black and promoting what can only be seen as the confiscation of firearms. The mainstream media, at least exemplified by CNN, is in a… Continue reading Is there an epidemic of doorbell and driveway shootings we aren’t aware of?
The government and the media want a license to lie with impunity
Classified documents reveal the reality of the war in Ukraine to be far different from how it’s described by the administration and the media.

Democracy has no meaning anymore
The legal, lawful, and democratic expulsion of two lawmakers for willingly disrupting the proceedings of every other lawmaker in the Tennessee House Chamber can only be transformed into a threat to democracy if the word itself has no meaning anymore. “We called for you all to ban assault weapons, and you respond with an assault… Continue reading Democracy has no meaning anymore
Donald Trump and the creation of pseudo-crimes
The great historian Daniel J. Boorstin coined the phrase “pseudo-events” to describe the modern contrivances between politicians and the press that have the semblance of news but remain artificial and choreographed. Welcome to the era of “pseudo-crimes” where there is no underlying criminal act, only an endless investigation with the sole purpose of an indictment,… Continue reading Donald Trump and the creation of pseudo-crimes
Biden’s budget is why the debt ceiling exists in the first place
The debt ceiling debate takes a strange turn after President Biden demands something of a duel among budgets without realizing that his own $6.9 trillion monstrosity, which would more than double the entire budget of just six years ago, is why the debt ceiling exists in the first place. Earlier this week, the Republican Speaker… Continue reading Biden’s budget is why the debt ceiling exists in the first place
Donald Trump and the ever present specter of political violence
The former President earned the ire of both progressives and moderate conservatives for stating the obvious that his indictment on seven-year old charges would cause “potential death & destruction,” but pointing out the truth should never be out of bounds, nor has it ever been in our history.
