“If you look at popular culture, like, you watch, you know, A Few Good Men, like we have plenty of examples since World War II, in Vietnam, where people were told to follow illegal orders, and they did it, and they were prosecuted for it,” Senator Elissa Slotkin thinks she’s Tom Cruise confronting Jack Nicholson.… Continue reading Democrats can’t handle the truth on illegal orders

Inside every American is a fascist waiting to come out
There’s an old expression that one man’s terrorist is another’s freedom fighter, but today, we might update it to one man’s defender of democracy is another’s fascist. There’s an old expression that one man’s terrorist is another’s freedom fighter, but today, especially in the wake of Charlie Kirk’s shocking killing last week, we might update… Continue reading Inside every American is a fascist waiting to come out
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
Trump and the convention speech only he could give
Like a kaleidoscope that is constantly shifting, you see everything if you are a fan and nothing if you are a foe. To say he did it his way, is an underestimate for the ages. It’s better to say, he did it the only way he knows how, and perhaps the way no one else… Continue reading Trump and the convention speech only he could give
When did so many progressives become trained seals clapping for their masters?
Doublethink is to be expected for those in positions of power, but to the average person, who had been supporting President Biden this entire time and who’d believed what they’d been told, it should have been a shocking revelation that they had been mislead, especially as they watched it collapse in real time. To me… Continue reading When did so many progressives become trained seals clapping for their masters?
Can Biden beat the count and make it to the convention?
While calls for him to exit continue, the Democrat National Convention is barely a month away, beginning on August 19 in Chicago, IL. To me at least, it is inconceivable that anyone would attempt to swap candidates after this seminal event. Last Thursday – two short days before the assassination attempt on former President Donald… Continue reading Can Biden beat the count and make it to the convention?
No, Biden cannot drop out of the race and remain President
The very idea of changing candidates at this late date displays either an amazing amount of wishful thinking or a bizarre denial of reality, perhaps some combination of the two, but whatever they may think, the inevitable will occur and the topic will quickly change to how he can remain in office under these circumstances,… Continue reading No, Biden cannot drop out of the race and remain President
Trump and the truth about Russia
Contrary to the conventional wisdom, President Trump was by far the most active opponent of Russia since Ronald Reagan and three key policy decisions in stark contrast with his predecessors prove it. It’s become a popular refrain in the mainstream media: President Donald Trump was weak in his dealings with Russia, either because Russian President… Continue reading Trump and the truth about Russia
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
Donald Trump and the ever present specter of political violence
The former President earned the ire of both progressives and moderate conservatives for stating the obvious that his indictment on seven-year old charges would cause “potential death & destruction,” but pointing out the truth should never be out of bounds, nor has it ever been in our history. Last week, former President Donald Trump earned… Continue reading Donald Trump and the ever present specter of political violence
