The DNC’s prevailing narrative is so far from the truth it might as well be a broadcast from another dimension

Under anything resembling normal circumstances, the spectacle of a massive protest by members of the Democrat Party outside the Democrat National Convention would garner at least a few words, but the need to buttress the largely false narrative of joy and unity overwhelms honesty and integrity. To hear the mainstream media tell it, the Democrat… Continue reading The DNC’s prevailing narrative is so far from the truth it might as well be a broadcast from another dimension

Let them eat joy

One narrative holds that Vice President Kamala Harris has created the most joyous, transcendent election campaign since President Barack Obama in less than three weeks.  Another is that she has done absolutely nothing except garner larger crowds, read someone else’s scripts, and pose for the cameras.  Like magic, the media has settled on a new… Continue reading Let them eat joy

Democrats are officially the party of chaos and contempt for democracy

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current events and provide some insight into how the future might unfold, but here, after a sitting President has withdrawn himself as candidate a full month after the primary process has been completed, we have none, because nothing… Continue reading Democrats are officially the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

Is the endless blather about the big debate between Biden and Trump a classic much ado about nothing?

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?

Ranking presidential “greatness” and the intellectual bankruptcy of the academic establishment

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

The entire Biden Presidency is an outrage encapsulated in one Special Counsel report

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

Joe Biden is no Marlon Brando, lessons from the Godfather on his failing foreign policy

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

Off year elections: The current political stalemate amid massive polarization is a matter of trust

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

Mitch McConnell and the media’s utter shamelessness

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 State of Trump and the Republican Race

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
