During the Cold War, the theory held that one country falling to communism led to another, but today Trump is toppling states allied with China and Russia in an inverted incarnation. In the aftermath of World War II, the world was roughly divided into two spheres of influence. Countries either lived under the protective umbrella… Continue reading Trump is running the “Domino Theory” in reverse

Since when do progressives give the slightest shit about high oil prices?
Despite calling for higher prices for years, we’re supposed to believe that progressives had a recent epiphany or at least that’s what they would like you to think if you happen to have the memory of a gold fish. In one of those ironies that so frequently seem to define the modern world, Yahoo Finance… Continue reading Since when do progressives give the slightest shit about high oil prices?
When, exactly, was politics normal like the Democrats claim?
Democrats plan to counter Trump’s State of the Union by claiming these aren’t normal times. Me? I’ve got a few questions about the past three decades the American people have been forced to suffer through and I would like their opinion on whether any of it was normal. Tomorrow evening, some leading Democrats are planning… Continue reading When, exactly, was politics normal like the Democrats claim?
Trump is simply an another level than other politicians, love him or hate him, for better or worse
Last week he launched TrumpRx.com. If you were to ask me to trade his accomplishments – many like revitalizing the Monroe Doctrine or being instrumental in overturning Roe Vs. Wade that I had only previously dreamed of – for less boorish and at times offensive behavior, I’d take the accomplishments every single time. Whether you… Continue reading Trump is simply an another level than other politicians, love him or hate him, for better or worse
Greenland’s strategic importance has been beyond dispute for decades, the only question is how to secure its future
At this point, if anyone truly believes either Denmark or the broader European Union can be trusted to safeguard Greenland against Russia and China, there’s an old expression about a bridge for sale.

Violence is rarely a good strategy, but it’s even worse when facing President Trump
While politics ain’t beanbag as they say, if you are going to go so hardcore that you demand blood and insist people get shot for the cause, you better be sure it’s going to work. Earlier this week, I opined that the Democrat’s political strategy was to foment violence and it was the only leverage… Continue reading Violence is rarely a good strategy, but it’s even worse when facing President Trump
Democrats are all in against President Trump, but they might find themselves boxed in later this year
Progressives are betting entirely on hatred of the President and a disaster of any kind, but what if that disaster never occurs? While it is normal for the opposition party to oppose, I don’t think many would argue that opposition to President Trump is on an entirely different level than anything we have seen… Continue reading Democrats are all in against President Trump, but they might find themselves boxed in later this year
The Monroe Doctrine is more important than ever, disavowing it in 2013 was a tragic mistake
Our adversaries have only gotten more emboldened since Senator John Kerry declared the doctrine dead, making it difficult to see how announcing the United States would no longer oppose foreign meddling in Latin America didn’t encourage them to meddle even more. On December 2, 1823, President James Monroe, only the fifth person to occupy the… Continue reading The Monroe Doctrine is more important than ever, disavowing it in 2013 was a tragic mistake
A stunning raid, the usual outrage, and the importance of action after decades of blather
What do our indictments, proclamations, sanctions, and speeches mean if Venezuelan Presidents Hugo Chavez and Nicolas Maduro were allowed to operate with impunity? Over the weekend, President Donald Trump stunned the world including many of his own supporters by authorizing a daring military operation to capture Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro in the capital city of… Continue reading A stunning raid, the usual outrage, and the importance of action after decades of blather
The ChatGPT Resistance is a danger to the country, from the cartel boat strikes to Venezuela, outrage isn’t enough
A functioning republic requires real opposition, asking real questions and demanding real answers. Outrage on its own, recycled forever, in the same form as if it was spat out of a computer, is a threat to the future. At this point, we know the cycle better than we’d like. In what we can only call… Continue reading The ChatGPT Resistance is a danger to the country, from the cartel boat strikes to Venezuela, outrage isn’t enough
