The LA fires and the reality that not all politics is bad, though not all arguments are equal

We should condemn those who would make sport of anyone’s suffering for any reason, but in a world where everything is political, there is nothing wrong with stating your opinion on what led to the destruction and what could have done better once it was unleashed. The fires in Los Angeles have prompted a range… Continue reading The LA fires and the reality that not all politics is bad, though not all arguments are equal

The batshit crazy coronation of Kamala Harris is history repeating itself as farce

Everyone knows Vice President Harris is awful.  It’s why talk about whether President Biden should withdraw from the race included an aside about what to do with her.  Is it possible she could be passed over somehow?  Instead, she had to be completely remade, downright deified, the same way Biden was before her.  As I… Continue reading The batshit crazy coronation of Kamala Harris is history repeating itself as farce

JD Vance and the Republicans’ ideological revolution

The new Republican Party seeks to shift the balance of our interests shifts from abstract American ideals to the practical impact on every day Americans, America as a country like any other, with her own interests, rather than as some easily manipulated metaphor for democracy or human progress.  The same way we can rarely tell… Continue reading JD Vance and the Republicans’ ideological revolution

Trump, Teddy Roosevelt, and the nature of an unstoppable force

Saturday’s heinous events will not prompt his detractors to reconsider, but to the average American, it seems sure to be a defining moment, one that allows President Trump to transcend the political box Democrats, some Republicans, and the mainstream media have tried to imprison him in for nine years.  On October 14, 1912, former President… Continue reading Trump, Teddy Roosevelt, and the nature of an unstoppable force

Free speech dies in federal court when an out of control judge takes aim at former President Trump and every American citizen

There is little more fundamental a right than the ability of voters to listen to completely unfettered Presidential candidates before making their own personal choice.  In a sense, Judge Chutkan has abridged the rights of every American to decide – for themselves and in and of themselves – who to vote for and why. “Mr.… Continue reading Free speech dies in federal court when an out of control judge takes aim at former President Trump and every American citizen

Mitch McConnell and the media’s utter shamelessness

For years now, they have collectively ignored the continued stumbles of the most powerful man in the world, only to pounce on a Republican after two similar instances. Let me start by being clear:  Personally, I think Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell is long past his sell-by date at a ripe 81 years old and… Continue reading Mitch McConnell and the media’s utter shamelessness

We are running out of time to save the planet, but climate scientists have somehow found the time to go woke

Once upon a time, the language of climate science – emissions, greenhouse gasses, melting ice caps, carbon taxes, cap and trade, and more – was all politically neutral, if occasionally sensational, but suddenly it’s downright socialist, dominated by the progressive cliches of the day from climate equity to climate justice. I’ll admit it up front: … Continue reading We are running out of time to save the planet, but climate scientists have somehow found the time to go woke

As the midterms are underway, even CNN knows Joe Biden is full of malarkey and always has been

The midterms were always going to be a referendum on President Biden, and no one should be surprised to learn that the country isn’t enthused with a chronically incompetent, serial liar in the White House.  This is who Joe Biden has always been.  It’s the reason no one wanted him in the first place, and… Continue reading As the midterms are underway, even CNN knows Joe Biden is full of malarkey and always has been

Democracy dies in an FBI raid on a former President

Earlier this week, the FBI raided the home of former President Donald Trump in action unprecedented in US history without even deigning to tell the American people what they are looking for or why.  Now, some are claiming the former President will be prosecuted for some unspecified crime, taking us from unprecedented directly to earth-shattering.… Continue reading Democracy dies in an FBI raid on a former President

Biden is a misinformation machine, happy to lie and foment violence for his own purposes

The draft Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. Wade reveals the lawlessness of the administration and the media as they encourage illegal protests, spread misinformation, and allow their surrogates to use violent rhetoric for political purposes.  Alas, this isn’t the only issue where the same techniques are used… Imagine if you will a MAGA crowd… Continue reading Biden is a misinformation machine, happy to lie and foment violence for his own purposes
