The world’s only one man media empire
President Biden officially entered the race with a broadside against his opposition which if the polls are any indication is likely to be former President Trump, setting up a rematch of the oldest in history. Meanwhile, Governor DeSantis’ supporters are close to freaking out… A mere six months ago, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis was the… Continue reading DeSantis supporters sure are getting desperate while Biden himself gets older and even more tired
The former President remains the top choice of Republican voters, especially among voters of color, despite threats of indictments and something of an establishment conservative rally around Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, complete with a rewriting of coronavirus history. The race will come down to these two men and where it ends nobody knows… After Republicans… Continue reading The State of Trump and the Republican Race
The new year begins with the feeling that little was resolved last year. The topics that dominated the conversation from political polarization to the war in Ukraine continue apace without resolution. 2023 should finally begin to provide some answers domestically, internationally, and politically. Future historians might look back on 2022 and identify it as a… Continue reading 2023: A year of continued questions and some possible answers
The consensus is clear: Trump’s political star is fading, but even some conservatives who embrace that narrative are simultaneously claiming his Presidency was “grossly underrated” and that he deserves a Nobel Peace Prize. How can we reconcile this tale of two wildly different President Trump’s? Blame for midterm election losses. Criminal convictions for his company. … Continue reading A Tale of Two Trumps
The New York Post recently proclaimed him “DeFuture.” The Florida governor has a lot to recommend himself for the Republican nomination. A resounding re-election, a strong resume, a coronavirus response rooted in freedom, and a willingness to fight for conservative causes. At least, that’s the theory. The practice, as ever, is a lot more complicated… Continue reading Ron DeSantis: Is the Florida governor the Republicans’ only hope?
As the polarizing former President announces his third consecutive bid for the White House, it’s worth considering the difference between political theory and practice. In theory, we shouldn’t be talking about Trump at all. In practice, he continues to dominate the political stage like no other. Donald Trump is the political difference between theory and… Continue reading Trump take three and why millions still support him
Last week’s midterm debacle has renewed calls in certain quarters to dump former President Donald Trump, blaming him entirely for the Republican’s poor performance, and to elevate Governor Ron DeSantis after his domination in Florida. We should be wary of both. Many promoting this have vehemently opposed the former President since his candidacy while the… Continue reading Trump and DeSantis: Rumors of one’s political demise are greatly exaggerated, as are calls for the other’s coronation
As awareness of the broken border grows after the Martha’s Vineyard debacle, where migrants were forcibly relocated to Cape Cod, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg and The New York Times’ Dara Lind start a new narrative: Republicans are not part of the solution because they don’t support amnesty and they’re against political asylum in general, even… Continue reading Immigration: A new, completely false narrative emerges from the usual precincts
Sometimes, it takes a political stunt to properly frame an issue, and few recent stunts have been more effective pointing out the insanity of our immigration policy and the hypocrisy of progressives than Republican governors delivering migrants to liberal enclaves. If the freak out over a mere fifty arriving in Martha’s Vineyard is any indication,… Continue reading The border is completely bonkers and recent controversies even more so
The so-called “Don’t Say Gay” bill should prompt an important conversation about the nature of sex education for younger children, but instead of clearly saying what they mean, as in how young they would introduce topics like sexuality and gender identity, progressives choose to malign and misdirect. Why is that? The progressive world and much… Continue reading Sex Education: Progressives should explain clearly how they want this to work
