Poor, poor, pitiful Biden?

CNN suddenly discovers that being President is hard and likely to get harder.  Who knew?  Unfortunately for Americans, President Biden is suffering from an array of largely self-inflicted wounds, from the border to international relations.  The solution is simple:   Govern how he promised on the campaign and stop pretending to be some radical progressive.… Continue reading Poor, poor, pitiful Biden?

A coronavirus wave is building, but we must reject another round of lockdown hysteria

Cases are on the rise again, likely thanks to some combination of the Delta variant and low vaccination rates in some areas.  Some experts are claiming it’s time to mask up and hit the “reset” button even after President Biden has taken a victory lap.  “Mask solidarity” is apparently a thing.  Now is not the… Continue reading A coronavirus wave is building, but we must reject another round of lockdown hysteria

The Trump Test: Fair minded liberals really need to consider what their reaction would be if Trump did it

No presidency is without problems and President Joe Biden is no exception.  The difference in tone and tenor from a year ago, however, is striking.  The cottage outrage industry has been replaced by a passive press expressing precious little concern about the disturbing news of the day.  Honest people need to ask themselves what’s changed. … Continue reading The Trump Test: Fair minded liberals really need to consider what their reaction would be if Trump did it

Black Lives Matter gets it astoundingly, intentionally wrong on Cuba, Biden administration a bit better

The first large scale protests in Cuba in years reveal the progressive left’s odd fascination with a murderous regime complete with BLM praising Castro for protecting a convicted cop killer and, of course, blaming former President Trump.  Fortunately, the Biden Administration itself hasn’t fallen prey to this phenomenon, at least not yet. Cuba is a… Continue reading Black Lives Matter gets it astoundingly, intentionally wrong on Cuba, Biden administration a bit better

President Joe Biden: Anyone who compares voter identification to the Civil War might be a demagogue unfit for office

Somehow, the President managed to insult the memory of every American that died in the Civil War and Civil Rights movement, paint his political opposition as the equivalent of Confederates and the Ku Klux Klan, and use one of the most grossly ridiculous analogies in the history of modern politics, all in service of a… Continue reading President Joe Biden: Anyone who compares voter identification to the Civil War might be a demagogue unfit for office

The courts are standing up for racial equality, where do you stand?

New rulings on a loan forgiveness program aimed at disadvantaged farmers and ranchers reaffirm America’s commitment to equality under the law.  The government cannot address discrimination in the past with discrimination in the present.  This fundamental principle stands strong, for now at least...  The American Rescue Plan signed into law by President Joe Biden earlier… Continue reading The courts are standing up for racial equality, where do you stand?

Delta variant: The experts declare coronavirus is back thanks to a new strain and even vaccinated people should mask up

“We’re gonna be in this state forever,” a Johns Hopkins’ professor launches a broadside at the tactics of other public health professionals and experts as the media is ablaze with concern over a new variant, slowing vaccination rates, and even more variants to come.  It wouldn’t be a pandemic without false claims of deadlier diseases… Continue reading Delta variant: The experts declare coronavirus is back thanks to a new strain and even vaccinated people should mask up

The bipartisan infrastructure push, part two: This is definitely not the way things are supposed to work

Call it a no-compromise compromise:  Democrats use the Republicans to provide their stamp of approval on a portion of their wishlist, then violate the longstanding democratic norms they claim to care so much about by going it alone on the rest.  Even more incredibly, President Biden made this announcement on the very same day he… Continue reading The bipartisan infrastructure push, part two: This is definitely not the way things are supposed to work

The crime wave spells big trouble ahead for Biden, even CNN says so…

President Biden plans a big speech later today to address some startling statistics: The murder rate is up almost 25%, even more in big cities and shows no sign of slowing down.  Of course, the increase in crime has absolutely nothing to do with the defund the police movement.  There’s nothing to see here, please… Continue reading The crime wave spells big trouble ahead for Biden, even CNN says so…

The bipartisan infrastructure push: This is the way things are supposed to work

From the Compromise of 1790 onward, the American system is built around establishing broad consensus for major issues, passing bipartisan legislation where both parties get something they want.  The result is increased ownership of government programs and less acrimony.  Isn’t that what everyone claims to want for America? Earlier this month, a bipartisan group of… Continue reading The bipartisan infrastructure push: This is the way things are supposed to work
