The H-1B visa debate and the three sides to every story principle

I was reminded of my grandmother over the past week, when an internecine debate bordering on a brawl broke out among supporters of President Donald Trump, despite being an essentially a minor issue concerning some 85,000 visas issued annually, where multiple things can be true simultaneously.   My grandmother used to say that there are… Continue reading The H-1B visa debate and the three sides to every story principle

The Elon Musk Factor shouldn’t be underestimated in Trump’s second term

There has never been a partnership like the world’s most powerful and world’s richest man seemingly attached at the hip, neither of whom can be intimidated by anyone, under any circumstances, and whom the establishment has absolutely no power or control over.   I’ll admit:  The sight of the world’s most powerful and world’s richest… Continue reading The Elon Musk Factor shouldn’t be underestimated in Trump’s second term

Trump’s victory has completely shifted the political and cultural landscape, making him more popular than ever

President Trump has an opportunity to deliver on his promises that he didn’t have in 2016.  The world is watching and more people than ever, from average Americans to world leaders and business tycoons, are rooting for him. If you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em.  The old expression appears to capture a willingness to embrace… Continue reading Trump’s victory has completely shifted the political and cultural landscape, making him more popular than ever

Trump in Paris and a presidential transition unlike any other

When Trump first entered office in 2017, he was a political neophyte, but his challenge was even starker with seemingly no awareness that a resistance in the very body he was supposed to lead would soon be actively plotting against him. By now, everyone knows that President-elect Donald Trump is only the second Chief Executive… Continue reading Trump in Paris and a presidential transition unlike any other

Hunter’s pardon, pardon power generally, the media’s stupidity, lies, excuses, and penchant for blaming everything on Donald Trump, revisited

After blithely accepting an obvious lie with no skepticism at all, even those who are now critical of the President focus their fire primarily on Donald Trump, fearing he may use the same power exactly as he promised on the campaign trail. Personally, I can’t really blame President Joe Biden for pardoning his son Hunter. … Continue reading Hunter’s pardon, pardon power generally, the media’s stupidity, lies, excuses, and penchant for blaming everything on Donald Trump, revisited

Will progressives ever tire of a media that lies to them repeatedly and treats them like morons?

For almost a decade now, the mainstream media has widely claimed or at least suggested that once and future President Donald Trump was unelectable for an ever changing variety of reasons, ranging from his lack of appeal and the legal onslaught against him.  They were wrong and in many cases, they lied. I can’t be… Continue reading Will progressives ever tire of a media that lies to them repeatedly and treats them like morons?

Trump’s brilliantly subversive Cabinet picks and the scandal that should be currently engulfing FEMA

The insistence that President Trump’s primary goal is to take some kind of vengeance on his enemies is only possible if you ignore a mounting body of evidence that all isn’t well with the government, particularly at the leadership level. Shortly before the election, Republicans accused the Biden-Harris administration of political discrimination after two devastating… Continue reading Trump’s brilliantly subversive Cabinet picks and the scandal that should be currently engulfing FEMA

Biden and Harris have turned the United States into an incompetent bystander in world affairs 

Much of the recent focus has been on Israel for obvious reasons, but no one listens to us anymore. From Iran to Russia to China to even potentially close allies like India, we watch as the world burns and global power realigns. Last week, Israel shocked the world by executing a massive aerial bombardment on… Continue reading Biden and Harris have turned the United States into an incompetent bystander in world affairs 

Donald Trump and the law of diminishing returns

As pundits ponder the resiliency of a former President they despise, they’d do well to consider that people become dulled to controversies, real and imagined,  and the accompanying rhetoric, causing both to lose their potency.  There are few politicians, especially in recent memory, who have been denigrated as aggressively and hyperbolically as President Trump.  Lately,… Continue reading Donald Trump and the law of diminishing returns

A debate in the eye of the beholder

Fortunately for former President Donald Trump and his supporters, Presidential Debates are not won on points, indeed they aren’t really won or lost at all given the only score that matters is the final tally on election day itself. If Presidential Debates were scored by collegiate rules, Vice President Harris won Tuesday’s contest against Donald… Continue reading A debate in the eye of the beholder
