Progressives ignored high prices for years, mocked those who worried about inflation, and for decades have waged a war on consumerism, but suddenly, we’re supposed to believe the American Dream is measured in cheap plastic dolls. Over the past several weeks, President Donald Trump has been heavily criticized from the left and some on the… Continue reading Trump, the affordability scam, and the truth that we buy too much junk

The post-Trump world isn’t pretty for Republicans, but there’s a lesson from proud socialist and now NYC Mayor Elect Zohran Mamdani
In today’s fast pace, media saturated, meme driven world, old school messaging and advertising will not be enough, especially in the face of historical trends. The public, most of the time, craves something different, a fearlessness and a boldness that the old guard is unwilling to deliver, and if Republicans cannot deliver it, they will… Continue reading The post-Trump world isn’t pretty for Republicans, but there’s a lesson from proud socialist and now NYC Mayor Elect Zohran Mamdani
Did a progressive finally admit Democrats have moved too far left for their own good?
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?
If a government shuts down in the forest over healthcare and illegal aliens…
The media and social media is in an uproar about the government shutdown, handicapping which party will prevail while the parties themselves play the usual blame game even as it is unclear the average person has noticed a thing so far. As the Associated Press characterized it on Friday morning, “Hopes for a quick end… Continue reading If a government shuts down in the forest over healthcare and illegal aliens…
Nobody’s happy with Kamala Harris, but that doesn’t mean she won’t be the nominee in 2028
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
Don’t look now, but Democrats suddenly have a white savior complex, lavishing love on a dude for being traditionally Caucasian and imitating Donald Trump
The combination of the artificiality and their sudden desire to champion beautiful, rich white people like Governor Gavin Newsom at least partially for being beautiful, rich, and white seems at odds with their decades long obsession with people of color and fear of the white savior complex There’s no doubt that California Governor Gavin Newsom… Continue reading Don’t look now, but Democrats suddenly have a white savior complex, lavishing love on a dude for being traditionally Caucasian and imitating Donald Trump
The self-proclaimed defenders of democracy aren’t defending anything close to what most people consider American democracy
Surely, any pretension of protecting democracy was fatally undermined by a call to rewrite the entire Constitution and related musings on why the military leadership hasn’t done more to undermine the Commander in Chief. Anyone who thinks irony is dead should consider the current progressive positions on the nature of democracy. On one hand, they… Continue reading The self-proclaimed defenders of democracy aren’t defending anything close to what most people consider American democracy
Reminder: Democrats should love tariffs because they have wanted to raise taxes for years
While we might forgive politicians for a little politicking, it’s more than a little ironic for Democrats to abandon a core tenet of their philosophy and pretend higher taxes haven’t been a long term goal. On December 1, 2010, Alan Simpson and Erskine Bowles concluded President Barack Obama’s National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform… Continue reading Reminder: Democrats should love tariffs because they have wanted to raise taxes for years
Democrats can’t have it both ways on President Trump, simultaneously smearing him and demanding he treat them with something less than the contempt they themselves reek
Why they seem to believe they can simultaneously slander him and expect him to treat them as partners in government remains a mystery that flies in the face of political history and human nature. Earlier this week, Democrats were outraged at President Donald Trump for two reasons, one completely inconsequential, the other quite consequential, nicely… Continue reading Democrats can’t have it both ways on President Trump, simultaneously smearing him and demanding he treat them with something less than the contempt they themselves reek
The Iranian Gamble
Military conflict is never without risk, but if the media was championing our ability to prevent Iran from striking last year, why are they not doing so now and why are mainstream outlets seemingly silent on the role other Arab nations are playing and how it seems the overall tide in the region is rapidly… Continue reading The Iranian Gamble
