Confessions of a Conservative Atheist
The world’s only one man media empire
While the two conflicts certainly aren’t the same, there are similarities after several years of fighting, but ironically, conservatives and progressives tend to take the opposite view of each. Admittedly, I have been skeptical of our efforts to help Ukraine prevail against the Russian invasion while being generally supportive of Israel’s efforts against Hamas in… Continue reading Gaza and Ukraine: A tale of two different forever wars
Though it’s traditional that an incoming President has six months if not a full year before the economy can be considered their responsibility, Trump was barely provided a week and even worse, some claim he should be held accountable for what hasn’t happened yet and might never happen. The criticisms of President Donald Trump are… Continue reading Trump’s critics are livin’ in the future on tariffs and everything else, imagining calamities that haven’t happened yet and might never
No piece of paper can fully commit a country to war on behalf of another. Rather than lecturing President Trump, President Zelensky should have read his George Washington, accepting that strong commercial relations are the foundation for mutual defense, not words on a page. Whether you love President Donald Trump or hate him, the simple,… Continue reading Trump, Zelensky, the reality that there are no guarantees in life, and other lessons from a disastrous meeting in the Oval Office that shouldn’t have been
Generally speaking, it’s true not to make concessions prior to a negotiation, but it’s also true that you are unlikely to begin negotiations in the first place if your position is perceived as unacceptable. When you are negotiating a fair price for a new car, you don’t begin by offering half of the list price.… Continue reading Trump, the Russo-Japanese War, and the truth about negotiating with Russia
Previously, I had opined that just when you thought the Biden-Harris foreign policy couldn’t get any worse it does. I followed that up by claiming that we’re an impotent bystander in world affairs, but somehow they have managed to continue to reach depths previously thought unreachable. Earlier this week, Secretary of State Antony Blinken made… Continue reading Biden and Harris demand peace in the Middle East despite a string of victories that might actually secure it, while seeking total victory in Ukraine even as Russia continues to flaunt their growing power
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?
The media will try, but you cannot reconcile a “man who has lived history,” “one of advancing age and broad experience” who can only converse in a “sometimes scattershot way.” A President with a “stiff gait, muffled voice, and fitful syntax” that holds “fast to a vision that has reigned since World War II, in… Continue reading Biden’s awful interview with Time Magazine and the media’s desperate attempt to resuscitate a dying Presidency
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
The Kremlin is richer than ever after two years of crippling sanctions, Ukraine is losing on the battlefield despite spending well upwards of a $100 billion, and Putin just assassinated his topic critic after the United States threatened devastating consequences. If this is winning as President Biden and the mainstream media keep telling us, what… Continue reading Biden’s Russia policy is a complete failure, Russia is richer than ever and Putin kills with impunity
For reasons that remain unexplained, but likely have to do with money and a penchant for talk over action, the conventional wisdom will simply not admit that President Trump is in good company with his skepticism, none other than George Washington himself. Last weekend, former President Donald Trump provoked somewhat bipartisan outrage in establishment circles… Continue reading Trump and the truth about NATO that the establishment refuses to admit
