The world’s only one man media empire
As we learn former Vice President Mike Pence also had classified documents and the National Archives begs former officials to come forward with any other documents that may be missing, it’s become clear that classified materials are everywhere and the government has no control even as everyone acted like they did when former President Trump… Continue reading Classified information here, there, and everywhere
The mainstream media is convinced the debacle over documents is the worst political crisis of President Biden’s tenure in office, even as they provide cover for him and the Department of Justice, but why are they ignoring all of the other disasters on his watch and the steady stream of lies and dissembling that have… Continue reading The media’s reaction to President Biden’s document scandal reveals how little they care about you
The discovery of multiple sets of classified documents at President Biden’s old offices reveals how ridiculous the accusations were against President Trump last year and how unnecessary the unprecedented FBI raid on his Mar-a-Lago residence, but rather than enjoy the show even some so-called conservatives can’t resist taking unnecessary shots at the former President. Politics… Continue reading Biden: The classified document is now on the other foot
The House of Representatives is in the process of making the sort of history one doesn’t really want to make as the selection of Speaker moves to at least the 12th ballot, suggesting that the Republican party is fractured, which should not be much of a surprise after the midterm elections. This week, the political… Continue reading Who’s afraid of a little actual voting in Congress?
The new year begins with the feeling that little was resolved last year. The topics that dominated the conversation from political polarization to the war in Ukraine continue apace without resolution. 2023 should finally begin to provide some answers domestically, internationally, and politically. Future historians might look back on 2022 and identify it as a… Continue reading 2023: A year of continued questions and some possible answers
The ongoing Twitter files is of little use to the mainstream media except to attack Elon Musk, Matt Taibbi, Bari Weiss, and Michael Shellenberger as conservative conspiracy theorists, but everyone knows the reaction would be quite different if Mr. Musk was the one doing the banning and deplatforming. Sometimes, the best way to truly understand… Continue reading Twitter: Imagine if Elon Musk blocked The Washington Post and deplatformed President Joe Biden
It’s possible to believe that bringing American WNBA star Brittney Griner home is a good thing, but exchanging her for the aptly named Merchant of Death was a bad deal and the administration completely botched the negotiations. The truth is that trading a hardened arms dealer known as “The Merchant of Death” and war criminal… Continue reading Truth, lies, and prisoner swaps
European countries used to be a beacon for progressives eager to expand social programs and promote “democratic socialism,” but the comparison has fallen out of favor during the pandemic because it’s no longer politically useful. Europe has taken a more reasonable approach to vaccines, including analyzing their real risks, and abortion than American progressives will… Continue reading Coronavirus and abortion: Why can’t we be more like Europe?
The recent anti-Musk rants studiously avoid the blatant censorship of The New York Post under false pretenses in the middle of an election, which should be the centerpiece of any reasoned concerns about free speech and the free exchange of ideas. Instead, propagandists vent their outrage at the messenger. The New York Post is the… Continue reading The Twitter Files: So-called journalists ignore the obvious threat to their own industry and the First Amendment
The President’s plan to avert a catastrophic rail strike he already claimed victory for averting is to force unions who rejected his plan to accept it via legislation. The irony of a supposedly pro-union President forcing unions to his will could not be richer, except that some Republicans are all too willing to bail him… Continue reading Biden beats down big labor with inexplicable help from Republicans
