Trump and the truth about his supporters

It’s certainly not because we’re brainwashed. It’s because we like what we see after decades of establishment failure and outright lies about immigration, economics, international relations, and American life. It’s yet another common refrain in media circles:  President Trump’s supporters are brainwashed in some fashion, beholden only to what he tells them, and unable to… Continue reading Trump and the truth about his supporters

Matt Gaetz can’t count and other Republican absurdities while ousting a Speaker heading into an election year

If there is one rule in politics, it might be summarized:  Never be seen to be losing, do not pick fights you cannot win, instead focus on changing the political kaleidoscope until you can win.  Republicans, or rather a handful of extreme Republicans, have somehow managed to pick two such fights in barely a month.… Continue reading Matt Gaetz can’t count and other Republican absurdities while ousting a Speaker heading into an election year

Global warming: No solution is too insane for the “experts”

Genetically mutating humans to eat insects, controlling the clouds and blocking the sun, changing the oceans, and more. The alarmist propose “solutions” more disruptive and damaging than a couple degrees of warming could possibly be. “If we eat less meat, we could significantly reduce our greenhouse gas emissions. Now, some people would be willing to… Continue reading Global warming: No solution is too insane for the “experts”

Trump, the mugshot seen around the world, and progressive blather about the rule of law

We cannot say for sure if he is enraged, defiant, determined, or some combination of all three and more, but we can say that this is not a man who is going to walk quietly into obscurity, either in prison or otherwise, and likely with good reason given the underlying issues at play. Last week,… Continue reading Trump, the mugshot seen around the world, and progressive blather about the rule of law

Biden’s vaccine mandate “conspiracy” to defraud the government and the American people

The President mandated vaccines based on false statements, faulty science, outright lies, and flawed legal reasoning only to be rejected by the Supreme Court after untold people lost their jobs, American rights were trampled, and the country thrown into chaos. These days, this should be an indictable offense. On November 4, 2021, President Joe Biden… Continue reading Biden’s vaccine mandate “conspiracy” to defraud the government and the American people

Debt ceiling winners, losers, and random thoughts on our fiscal future

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

Biden: The classified document is now on the other foot

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

No, the problem for Democrats isn’t that Americans can’t understand how awesome they are

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

Biden is the worst Presidential communicator in recent memory

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

FBI raid: False premises, first principles, and friends like these

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
