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?

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
