No one should be under the illusion the debt ceiling deal does anything except increase spending. Even if Congress follows the terms of the bill, spending will continue to grow every year and total debt will continue to increase with no viable prospect to achieve anything near a balanced budget. Last week, the Great Debt… Continue reading Debt ceiling winners, losers, and random thoughts on our fiscal future
The discovery of multiple sets of classified documents at President Biden’s old offices reveals how ridiculous the accusations were against President Trump last year and how unnecessary the unprecedented FBI raid on his Mar-a-Lago residence, but rather than enjoy the show even some so-called conservatives can’t resist taking unnecessary shots at the former President. Politics… Continue reading Biden: The classified document is now on the other foot
Recent polls suggesting a 2010 style “shellacking” for Democrats are prompting a range of wild narratives to reframe the midterm elections. Administration officials and the mainstream media insist that President Biden’s accomplishments are simply too many and too vast to communicate to voters, while Biden himself claims Republicans will crash an economy already in recession.… Continue reading No, the problem for Democrats isn’t that Americans can’t understand how awesome they are
A recent interview with 60 Minutes’ Scott Pelley serves as a masterclass in how not to communicate. Many of the questions were overwhelmingly obvious, but still the President was unclear, unfocused, and rambling, insulting the American people by denying what is happening before their very eyes. Even when he speaks with clarity and conviction, his… Continue reading Biden is the worst Presidential communicator in recent memory
A heavily redacted affidavit prompts more questions than answers, but much larger issues are at stake. Can anyone supersede the President’s classification powers? What if the information was declassified as Trump says and the entire investigation is based on a false premise? Why has no one answered that question? Who’s in charge of Presidential records,… Continue reading FBI raid: False premises, first principles, and friends like these
The alternative to a trial of the former President is a continuation of the endless stream of leaks from prosecutors and misguided interpretations of the law from the real card carrying experts in the media. If you truly believe the former President is guilty of something, let him have his day in open court. Tell… Continue reading Enough: Indict Trump already or give it a rest
President Biden and the Democrats are poised to pass the poorly named Inflation Reduction Act to much fanfare in the mainstream media, but once upon a time even President Barack Obama knew the last thing you wanted to do was increase taxes in the middle of a recession. This is Biden’s fourth round of stimulus… Continue reading Joe Biden is President George Costanza, every instinct he has is wrong
One wields influence in the party even as some want to prevent him from running for office ever again. The other’s presence is defined primarily by his absence while some question his ability to run for office ever again. Strange days in primary season indeed. Calculating the precise influence former President Donald Trump maintains in… Continue reading Biden and Trump: A tale of two primaries
NBC News reports that the President is “furious” with how people perceive him as not being in charge, “bristling” at being stifled by his staff, and “rattled” that his poll numbers have sunk lower than Donald Trump. All that’s missing is an actual plan that would help the American people. The President is unhappy, beleaguered,… Continue reading Poor, Poor Pitiful Biden, Part 2: This time, he’s getting angry!
The United States is poised to enter a brave new world after a first in history leak of a potential ruling that would overturn Roe v. Wade and return the question of abortion to the states. We’ve never experienced anything like it, and despite the punditry, no one really knows where we go from here.… Continue reading Supreme Court: A bombshell leak overturns almost 50 years of abortion rights with a fall out that’s impossible to predict
