The self-proclaimed defenders of democracy aren’t defending anything close to what most people consider American democracy

Surely, any pretension of protecting democracy was fatally undermined by a call to rewrite the entire Constitution and related musings on why the military leadership hasn’t done more to undermine the Commander in Chief. Anyone who thinks irony is dead should consider the current progressive positions on the nature of democracy.  On one hand, they… Continue reading The self-proclaimed defenders of democracy aren’t defending anything close to what most people consider American democracy

No, I don’t need some scold’s permission to love boobs and other recent misadventures in thought control, media, and advertising

When was the last time you saw an ad for an automobile featuring a dirty, dinged up car parked in some equally trash strewn and crowded garage, even though that’s what happens to the great majority of cars in the real world? Last week, I noted that the recent controversy over Sydney Sweeney’s appearance in… Continue reading No, I don’t need some scold’s permission to love boobs and other recent misadventures in thought control, media, and advertising

Trump, tariffs, and my conservative principles

As President Trump proceeds with his tariff policy and an appeals court prepares a ruling on whether that policy is lawful in the first place, some are claiming that tariffs fundamentally violate various conservative economic and Constitutional principles. As President Donald Trump proceeds with phase two of his tariff policy and an appeals court prepares… Continue reading Trump, tariffs, and my conservative principles

Democrats demand people get shot to protect child labor on pot farms

“At town halls in their districts and in one-on-one meetings with constituents and activists,” Axios reported after speaking to more than two dozen Democrats in the House of Representatives, “Democratic members of Congress are facing a growing thrum of demands to break the rules, fight dirty — and not be afraid to get hurt.” Last… Continue reading Democrats demand people get shot to protect child labor on pot farms

This Fourth of July, progressives have officially lost their minds

“In this authoritarian and suffocating climate where being an American feels like a curse,” she began, “where just breathing here feels like complicity with genocide, psychotic imperialism, misogyny and endless racism, it is hard to move, let alone imagine what one can do to transform this horror to good.” If we should give credit where… Continue reading This Fourth of July, progressives have officially lost their minds

How stupid do Democrats and their enablers in the mainstream media think we are?

Last week, CNN claimed that Iran was essentially closer to building a bomb than they were before the strikes. Last month, they told us store shelves would be empty by now. Clearly, they do not believe we are capable of remembering what was said less than a week ago or considering the veracity of their… Continue reading How stupid do Democrats and their enablers in the mainstream media think we are?

Some assassins are more equal than others, at least according to far too many progressives

When Luigi Mangione gunned down a health insurance CEO six months ago, he was hailed as a hunky folk hero fighting for the oppressed, but somehow violence directed at Democrats is beyond the pale. I have a pretty simple rule:  Political violence including political assassinations is bad, beyond the pale, something that should never happen… Continue reading Some assassins are more equal than others, at least according to far too many progressives

A new week means a new leader of The Resistance, but resistance remains futile

Beyond relying on entirely recycled rhetoric, all that’s missing from Governor Gavin Newsom and the musical chairs contenders to the throne is an actual means to stop President Trump from doing anything.  For all the bold talk, every single one of these individuals is entirely powerless. After immigration enforcement protests in Los Angeles rapidly descended… Continue reading A new week means a new leader of The Resistance, but resistance remains futile

Trump’s electoral triumph is even more astounding than previously thought, or so says the New York Times

For years, the media has assumed that demography is destiny, that a more diversified country would lead to an ascendant Democrat Party while reducing Republicans to an ineffectual rump.  President Trump has proven them completely, catastrophically wrong, doing what they would have said was impossible. After President Donald Trump’s stunning victory last year, I described… Continue reading Trump’s electoral triumph is even more astounding than previously thought, or so says the New York Times

The trade war that didn’t happen has delayed the apocalypse

A trade deal with China, a lower than expected inflation number, and a higher than expected jobs report suggest the experts were wrong once again. As even The New York Times put it recently, “Recession Warnings Are Everywhere, Except in the Data.” Earlier this year, I opined that President Donald Trump’s critics were living in… Continue reading The trade war that didn’t happen has delayed the apocalypse
