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…

Unpopular opinion: Democrats will regret not supporting any part of the Big Beautiful Bill
Whatever becomes of Medicaid, every restaurant and service worker, every cop, every firefighter, every cashier, almost every union member, everyone who has recently had a child and will have one for the next three years, the great majority of seniors, and even upper middle class people in high tax states, will receive some benefit from… Continue reading Unpopular opinion: Democrats will regret not supporting any part of the Big Beautiful Bill
The Big, Beautiful Bill is pretty badass, Speaker Johnson delivered for the Trump agenda, and the Senate better get off its ass
When Trump increased taxes via tariffs many screamed that it was the largest in history, but now some want to revert back to the old rates. When Trump began slashing the government under DOGE, many of the same people said he was cutting too much, too fast, only to insist the real problem is that… Continue reading The Big, Beautiful Bill is pretty badass, Speaker Johnson delivered for the Trump agenda, and the Senate better get off its ass
Democrats are caught between the rock that is President Trump and the hard place of their supporters who loathe him
To be successful, politicians need to at least seem like they’re driving the conversation, directly engaged on the issues that matter, either contributing to successes and pointing out failures, but progressives hate the President so much, they will not permit anything except resistance. On Tuesday evening, Democrats faced the age-old dilemma of the party out… Continue reading Democrats are caught between the rock that is President Trump and the hard place of their supporters who loathe him
Washington will never be the same…
Whether you love him or hate him, President Trump is far more than a politician, having become a cultural figure that represents perhaps better than anyone else the key issues of our time, and his retaking the Presidency marks a clear before and after. When President Joe Biden was set to take office in 2021,… Continue reading Washington will never be the same…
The Elon Musk Factor shouldn’t be underestimated in Trump’s second term
There has never been a partnership like the world’s most powerful and world’s richest man seemingly attached at the hip, neither of whom can be intimidated by anyone, under any circumstances, and whom the establishment has absolutely no power or control over. I’ll admit: The sight of the world’s most powerful and world’s richest… Continue reading The Elon Musk Factor shouldn’t be underestimated in Trump’s second term
Wait, I thought President Biden was supposed to be tough on the border
Around 7 million have crossed the border illegally since January 2021, and somewhere over 2 million are waiting to hear their asylum claims. In other words, we could add an entire state to the Union with the number of people that have crossed the border illegally during President Biden’s tenure. For months, we’ve been informed… Continue reading Wait, I thought President Biden was supposed to be tough on the border
NPR, the corrupt media, and why Trump needs to win
A senior editor at NPR reveals how the media outlet intentionally distorted or outright spiked three major stories in recent years, and how the newsroom has been transformed into a progressive advocacy group, aligned against Donald Trump, and willing to lie to get what they want. Earlier this week, National Public Radio’s senior business editor… Continue reading NPR, the corrupt media, and why Trump needs to win
Republicans can’t count part two, and other recent obscenities in Congress
A failed impeachment vote, a failed aid to Israel vote, and the even more spectacular failure of a supposedly bipartisan border security bill in less than 72 hours caps a week that will live in infamy. Last year, I opined that the Republicans can’t count following the disastrous ousting of Speaker of the House Kevin… Continue reading Republicans can’t count part two, and other recent obscenities in Congress
Mitch McConnell has officially lost it, slamming his own party while repeating Democrat talking points
The Senator from Kentucky recently endorsed the idea that war is actually stimulus, bomb someone half a world away to make more bombs here at home, perhaps the most cynical and reprehensible framing in decades. In doing so, he’s opposing the newly minted Speaker of the House and taking other unwarranted shots at his fellow… Continue reading Mitch McConnell has officially lost it, slamming his own party while repeating Democrat talking points
