No, the world didn’t begin on January 20 when President Trump retook office

We have two choices when the Democrats and the media assert President Donald Trump’s actions are unprecedented in anything other than the pace, volume, and effectiveness.  Either they truly believe the world began on January 20, 2025, or they think you are stupid enough to believe so yourself.  To hear Democrats, progressives, and their allies… Continue reading No, the world didn’t begin on January 20 when President Trump retook office

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

The political beatdowns will continue until one side or the other begs for mercy

While self-awareness and an appreciation for irony might be at historical lows, did Democrats think Trump was going to play nice after they impeached him twice, tried to ban him from the ballot, bankrupt his businesses, and put him in jail for several lifetimes? Though much virtual ink has been shed on the extremity of… Continue reading The political beatdowns will continue until one side or the other begs for mercy

Yes, President Trump’s cuts to the government are real and they are just the beginning

Over the past week, following the Senate’s passage of the first rescission bill and the Supreme Court’s tacit approval of President Trump’s proposed reorganization of several federal agencies, we finally have some real data about the extent of these cuts and they are meaningful. Before the Big Beautiful Bill was signed into law on the… Continue reading Yes, President Trump’s cuts to the government are real and they are just the beginning

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

Superman and how much Hollywood truly hates us

While many of us are wondering when Superman became an immigrant, given that he’s a fictional alien from another planet with almost godlike powers and is not usually associated with either border policy or migrant workers, Hollywood once again reveals that they have nothing but contempt for half the country or more. Once upon a… Continue reading Superman and how much Hollywood truly hates us

The Era of Perpetual Outrage

Does anyone remember Elon Musk’s supposed Nazi salute? Or when planes were supposedly falling out of they sky in other countries because of President Trump? How about claims the entire government was about to collapse and people were going to die? If President Joe Biden presided over the Era of Perpetual Bailouts, we can confidently… Continue reading The Era of Perpetual Outrage

The fine line between protests and terrorism in the era of safety and security

For better or worse, one of the most significant cultural shifts since the counterculture revolution has been our collective tolerance of risk, and we should not tolerate any activity that violates the current societal norms around safety and public behavior. At the risk of stating the obvious typing away at a keyboard in front of… Continue reading The fine line between protests and terrorism in the era of safety and security

The email heard around the world

What began as an obvious stunt, turned into a trap when it was revealed intelligence officials have the time to discuss castration on government systems and, apparently, the entire government can be thrown into chaos by a simple request. In the annals of American history, perhaps few things are more emblematic of the absurdity of… Continue reading The email heard around the world

Springsteen’s “Born in the USA” and the paradox of a song

Can a song can be a stirring patriotic anthem and a condemnation of certain aspects of the American experience at the same time, a paradox of a piece of music if you will? On the surface, “Born in the USA” isn’t a patriotic song, far from it.  Originally conceived and recorded as a mournful yet… Continue reading Springsteen’s “Born in the USA” and the paradox of a song
