Progressives go full Apocalypse Now

full apocalypse now

It’s hard to believe we are less than six months from the targeted assassination of Charlie Kirk.  Back then, turning down the rhetoric was all the rage, but now everyone loves the smell of napalm in the morning. “I love the smell of napalm in the morning,” exclaims Lieutenant Bill Kilgore in Apocalypse Now as… Continue reading Progressives go full Apocalypse Now

A modest proposal: Is it time to bring back the Darwin Awards?

Darwin Awards

If you set aside the politics, picking up a flashbang grenade in attempt to throw it at law enforcement officers, begging them to shoot you, driving cars into them, and putting your hands on them while packing heat are decidedly not smart things to do. Let me start by saying in no uncertain terms that… Continue reading A modest proposal: Is it time to bring back the Darwin Awards?

Either progressives truly think this is a war or they have officially lost their minds

Are we witnessing “The Battle for Minneapolis” as The New Yorker claimed or “Our Gettysburg Moment” as The Bulwark had it, or are progressives simply so far gone they see no danger in taunting men they described as poorly trained thugs with guns? To hear Democrats and their progressive allies tell it, President Donald Trump’s… Continue reading Either progressives truly think this is a war or they have officially lost their minds

Democrats in Minnesota and elsewhere desperately need a lesson in the nature of power

Presidential Power

Contrary to the conventional wisdom, President Trump cannot simply allow his political adversaries to dictate his actions.  No President has ever done so, and none ever will.  Full disclosure:  I wrote most of this post before the second ICE shooting left a man dead in Minneapolis less than a month after the first on Saturday… Continue reading Democrats in Minnesota and elsewhere desperately need a lesson in the nature of power

Violence is rarely a good strategy, but it’s even worse when facing President Trump

President Trump Outrage

While politics ain’t beanbag as they say, if you are going to go so hardcore that you demand blood and insist people get shot for the cause, you better be sure it’s going to work.  Earlier this week, I opined that the Democrat’s political strategy was to foment violence and it was the only leverage… Continue reading Violence is rarely a good strategy, but it’s even worse when facing President Trump

Violence is the Democrat strategy and their only hope for leverage

Violence is the Democrat Strategy

Last summer, Democrats called for blood and began training “warriors” to resist ICE.  Last week, there was yet another tragic instance of actual blood, blood that was immediately seized upon as leverage to enact their preferred policy of ending deportations.  In our system of government, the minority party generally seeks leverage to influence events.  Lacking… Continue reading Violence is the Democrat strategy and their only hope for leverage

Minnesota fraud and the true nature of modern progressive governance

This is the government as a money laundering operation, one hand washing the other on someone else’s dime, and sadly that appears to be the modern progressive way.  If caring for the poor, disadvantaged, and disabled was as important as they claim, none of this would’ve happened.  In principle, every fair minded person should be… Continue reading Minnesota fraud and the true nature of modern progressive governance

An atheist on the power of prayer

Power of Prayer

Beyond the inability to understand the basic nature of prayer, one must wonder what kind of complete asshole – as Stanley Kubrick might say – outright rejects and belittles a prayer offered on their or someone else’s behalf to begin with?   While the average American was still reeling from the tragic news that Robin Westman,… Continue reading An atheist on the power of prayer

Does a politician deserve to be carjacked and beaten because she pushed policies that would self-evidently result in higher crime rates?

Sadly, this is no longer a hypothetical question after the Vice Chair of the Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party, an affiliate of the broader Democrat Party and an advocate for defund the police, was carjacked outside her house and savagely beaten in front of her children. First, let me begin by stating that one of my core… Continue reading Does a politician deserve to be carjacked and beaten because she pushed policies that would self-evidently result in higher crime rates?
