Fairly and unfairly evaluating Trump’s immunity claims

Last week, the reasonable outcome was for the Supreme Court to reject the case entirely.  This week it’s to reject even the narrow question the Court proposed ignoring the obvious importance to the future of the country.  Is it any wonder few pay any attention to the experts any longer? Last Thursday, the Supreme Court… Continue reading Fairly and unfairly evaluating Trump’s immunity claims

Democrats are planning an insurrection of their own, apparently

Congressional Democrats are actively considering blocking the certification of the election results in the event of a Trump victory, the very same thing they claim makes him and his fellow Republicans insurrectionists, demonstrating once again that Democracy is whatever they say it is at the moment. To hear Democrats and their allies in the mainstream… Continue reading Democrats are planning an insurrection of their own, apparently

2024 might make 2020 seem like an ordinary year

2024 will be defined by a confluence of events most of which remain completely unpredictable, far more so than most years in modern memory.  Call it the quantum mechanics or Schrödinger’s cat of years, where we will not know what happens until the waveforms collapse into history. 2020 was considered an extraordinary dumpster fire of… Continue reading 2024 might make 2020 seem like an ordinary year

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 has officially lost it, slamming his own party while repeating Democrat talking points

The Senator from Kentucky recently endorsed the idea that war is actually stimulus, bomb someone half a world away to make more bombs here at home, perhaps the most cynical and reprehensible framing in decades. In doing so, he’s opposing the newly minted Speaker of the House and taking other unwarranted shots at his fellow… Continue reading Mitch McConnell has officially lost it, slamming his own party while repeating Democrat talking points

Free speech dies in federal court when an out of control judge takes aim at former President Trump and every American citizen

There is little more fundamental a right than the ability of voters to listen to completely unfettered Presidential candidates before making their own personal choice.  In a sense, Judge Chutkan has abridged the rights of every American to decide – for themselves and in and of themselves – who to vote for and why. “Mr.… Continue reading Free speech dies in federal court when an out of control judge takes aim at former President Trump and every American citizen

Trump, the mugshot seen around the world, and progressive blather about the rule of law

We cannot say for sure if he is enraged, defiant, determined, or some combination of all three and more, but we can say that this is not a man who is going to walk quietly into obscurity, either in prison or otherwise, and likely with good reason given the underlying issues at play. Last week,… Continue reading Trump, the mugshot seen around the world, and progressive blather about the rule of law

Biden’s vaccine mandate “conspiracy” to defraud the government and the American people

The President mandated vaccines based on false statements, faulty science, outright lies, and flawed legal reasoning only to be rejected by the Supreme Court after untold people lost their jobs, American rights were trampled, and the country thrown into chaos. These days, this should be an indictable offense. On November 4, 2021, President Joe Biden… Continue reading Biden’s vaccine mandate “conspiracy” to defraud the government and the American people

Affirmative action and the end of intersectionality

There is little doubt that ethnic minorities face barriers in a primarily white culture.  It could not be any other way when your traditions and history are different from the norm, but the idea that these barriers are the same and regardless of the unique challenges any group faces, they should all simply take one… Continue reading Affirmative action and the end of intersectionality

No, the government cannot compel speech for any reason

Does anyone really want to live in a world where you can be forced to create something against your conscience for any reason?  Last week, progressives were appalled when the Supreme Court ruled that a Colorado law could not force a Christian website designer to develop a site that promotes gay marriage.   The decision… Continue reading No, the government cannot compel speech for any reason
