Confessions of a Conservative Atheist
The world’s only one man media empire
President Teddy Roosevelt once said, “speak softly and carry a big stick.” This is the exact opposite: We have no stick at all, and yet we’re carrying on as if we had a baseball bat. So long as Europe is dependent on Russian energy, Russia will do what it wants in Eastern Europe. We should… Continue reading Ukraine: Why are we hyping up an invasion we can do nothing about?
Justice Stephen Breyer’s announcement wasn’t even official, but the battle was already engaged with some claiming a secret plot was afoot to install either Mitt Romney or Hillary Clinton as Vice President. Others took issue with the race of the potential nominee and Vice President Harris. Still others took aim at the rule of law… Continue reading A Supreme Court confirmation battle begins with a combination of the absurd, the crude, and the insane
Last year, I proposed the Trump Test, that is imagine your reaction if Trump was the President instead of Biden, and Trump was the one insulting reporters, tacitly granting permission for Russia to invade Ukraine, and claiming he was “outperforming” expectations in the midst of constant crises. The media had a term for this. They… Continue reading President Biden is unhinged, or at least that’s what the media would be saying were he President Trump
In a rational world, a 55% spike in homicides would prompt an equivalent increase in arrests, but instead arrests have fallen over the same period, putting more criminals on the street. Meanwhile, progressives insist that guns are actually to to blame and they have the non-causative data to prove it. As New York City reels… Continue reading Progressives have discovered the root cause of violent crime and it isn’t actually criminals

The President’s approval rating is at the bottom of the spectrum for the modern era. More people identify as Republicans than at any time since 1995, and the country is beset by challenges and crises from all sides. For a man that promised a return to normalcy, we’ve seen nothing like it. Of course, it’s… Continue reading Did President Biden just have the worst first year in modern history?
In a shocking display, the progressive justices on the Supreme Court have no idea what vaccines actually do, how many children are affected, and current hospitalizations.

Last week, the Supreme Court heard oral arguments on… Continue reading The clueless Supreme Court and the progressive pundits who don’t care about the rule of law
Vice President Kamala Harris invokes attacks that killed thousands of Americans and launched wars that killed thousands more. Speaker Nancy Pelosi welcomes Darth Vader with open arms and takes a break for a musical interlude. President Biden launches the 2024 campaign, and says we’re in a battle for the soul of America, except he’s on… Continue reading The Democrats January 6th festival of the absurd and obscene
Democrats and the mainstream media repeatedly warn that democracy itself is in peril, under attacks not seen since the Civil War, while simultaneously pushing to demolish key pillars of our system of government included but not limited to the filibuster, the Electoral College, and the composition of the Supreme Court. It’s almost like democracy means… Continue reading One year after January 6, the protection of democracy is all the rage, but what sort of democracy do Democrats have in mind?
Coronavirus cases have spiked to the highest levels ever seen, but quarantine and testing requirements have been loosened, and future guidance now has to balance the need for a functioning economy, society, and what people in general will tolerate. Once upon a time, people that said the same were accused of having blood on their… Continue reading President Biden has completely failed to shut down the virus, yet some in the media have decided that’s a good thing as the medical establishment completely rewrites the rules for political reasons
