The world’s only one man media empire
It’s common for political prognosticators, pundits, and amateurs like myself to rely on historical analogs to explain current events and provide some insight into how the future might unfold, but here, after a sitting President has withdrawn himself as candidate a full month after the primary process has been completed, we have none, because nothing… Continue reading Democrats are officially the party of chaos and contempt for democracy
Every four years, political prognosticators bleed an ocean of digital ink in the lead up to the election cycle’s much ballyhooed presidential debates, only to tell us afterwards that none of it mattered in any event, nor do such things usually matter. Will this time be different? Every four years, political prognosticators bleed an ocean… Continue reading Is the endless blather about the big debate between Biden and Trump a classic much ado about nothing?
Academics would have us believe that Joe Biden – who was recently deemed mentally incompetent by his own Justice Department – has made a better president than the likes of Ronald Reagan, Ulysses S. Grant, and James Monroe, not to mention Andrew freaking Jackson? Late last year, the “2024 Presidential Greatness Project Expert Survey” was… Continue reading Ranking presidential “greatness” and the intellectual bankruptcy of the academic establishment
President Biden is only in office because of endless lies and double standards, an outrage that occurred because of corruption and deceit at the highest levels of American life and continues because no accounting of any kind has occurred. Last Thursday, Special Counsel Robert Hur, who had been charged with investigating President Joe Biden’s possession… Continue reading The entire Biden Presidency is an outrage encapsulated in one Special Counsel report
The real world of international relations is not a movie, but some key lessons and insights are the same. You can be at war without wanting to be at war and you cannot win a war without knowing who your true enemy is, forget telling them in advance what you will and will not do. “Tattaglia’s… Continue reading Joe Biden is no Marlon Brando, lessons from the Godfather on his failing foreign policy
Ohio’s recent trust in Republicans doesn’t extend to the abortion issue. Virginia might like and trust Governor Youngkin himself, but they have no faith in an empowered Republican Party. Kentucky, meanwhile, placed its trust in Republicans, only to watch them completely botch critical tax policy. The Republican Party didn’t have the best night last Tuesday,… Continue reading Off year elections: The current political stalemate amid massive polarization is a matter of trust
For years now, they have collectively ignored the continued stumbles of the most powerful man in the world, only to pounce on a Republican after two similar instances. Let me start by being clear: Personally, I think Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell is long past his sell-by date at a ripe 81 years old and… Continue reading Mitch McConnell and the media’s utter shamelessness
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
Continually escalating encounters with the United States military while the war in Ukraine rages on is not the strategy of a country on the verge of accepting defeat, but even a cursory understanding of history should not make that surprising. A successful foreign policy requires a recognition of reality sorely lacking on all sides of… Continue reading Russia isn’t intimidated by either President Biden or the broader free world
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
