The world’s only one man media empire
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?
Rather than accept that the federal government supersedes the states when operating within the sphere of its enumerative powers, the claim then and now was that states could pick and choose which laws they would follow and enforce. In the lead up to the Civil War, slaveholding states embraced the idea that they could nullify… Continue reading The new Democrat nullification movement
Rather than acting like adults who have encountered a disagreement and making adjustments, a progressive columnists accuses his own side of lashing out like children, blaming them for their beliefs, claiming they are “irrational” and “unacceptable.” It’s become something of a catechism in progressive circles: The Republican Party, particularly under President Donald Trump, has moved… Continue reading Did a progressive finally admit Democrats have moved too far left for their own good?
We have two choices when the Democrats and the media assert President Donald Trump’s actions are unprecedented in anything other than the pace, volume, and effectiveness. Either they truly believe the world began on January 20, 2025, or they think you are stupid enough to believe so yourself. To hear Democrats, progressives, and their allies… Continue reading No, the world didn’t begin on January 20 when President Trump retook office
Despite the current criticism, a nomination will need to be won and barring the emergence of someone truly new and interesting, the Vice President will have massive name recognition, a fundraising network, and diversity credit which might well be enough to power her through a crowded field. It didn’t take a political genius to predict… Continue reading Nobody’s happy with Kamala Harris, but that doesn’t mean she won’t be the nominee in 2028
There’s an old expression that one man’s terrorist is another’s freedom fighter, but today, we might update it to one man’s defender of democracy is another’s fascist. There’s an old expression that one man’s terrorist is another’s freedom fighter, but today, especially in the wake of Charlie Kirk’s shocking killing last week, we might update… Continue reading Inside every American is a fascist waiting to come out
Democracy requires debate, but debate assumes that both sides have a legitimate position even if they strenuously disagree. Fascists, however, are fundamentally illegitimate, not to be reasoned with, but defeated or destroyed, hence there is no more room for debate in many Democrat circles. Both before and after the assassination of Charlie Kirk, many reasons… Continue reading The root cause of our political discontent
How else can you explain last weekend’s progressive delusion that President Trump suddenly died and the truth was being hidden for some unexplained, yet undoubtedly nefarious reason while his predecessor President Biden was healthy as the proverbial horse? While I have never been a fan of so-called scientific theories that claim we are living in… Continue reading You need to be living in a simulation to believe Trump is sick or suddenly died while insisting for years Biden was fit as the proverbial fiddle
“I don’t care if it’s a dollar or a billion-dollar stake,” Republican Senator Thom Tillis protested. “That starts feeling like a semi state-owned enterprise à la CCCP,” he added, referring to the old acronym for the USSR. “I don’t believe the U.S. government should be picking winners and losers.” President Donald Trump’s almost unprecedented decision… Continue reading Trump’s stake in Intel and the free market fantasy
While the two conflicts certainly aren’t the same, there are similarities after several years of fighting, but ironically, conservatives and progressives tend to take the opposite view of each. Admittedly, I have been skeptical of our efforts to help Ukraine prevail against the Russian invasion while being generally supportive of Israel’s efforts against Hamas in… Continue reading Gaza and Ukraine: A tale of two different forever wars
