Confessions of a Conservative Atheist
The world’s only one man media empire
Despite the Democrat’s big win and the hyperbolic claims every election cycle that this is the most important in history, not much will change over the next two years if recent history is any indication. Whether you call it a “thumping” like President George W. Bush in 2006 or a “shellacking” like Barack Obama in… Continue reading The most inconsequential midterm election since 2010, and the pending return of the pen and the phone
The irony of progressives sneering at Mr. Musk for doing what has never been done before while the governments they control and on whose behalf they advocate for cannot get the job done on time or budget should be obvious. Last month, Elon Musk stunned the world with the Tesla Roadster, a sleek, two seater… Continue reading Flying cars and failing trains, life lessons in the government versus the private sector
If you compare coverage of Mr. Talarico’s disappearance for almost two weeks to President Trump going an entire 48 hours without a public event last summer, the difference can only be said to be instructive. In normal circumstances, a major candidate for the Senate, the person who many believe will turn Texas red for the… Continue reading The incredible disappearance of James Talarico and our rapidly shrinking media
At this point, the only thing I really want to see is an end to the self-righteous sanctimony and an open admission that the gerrymander wars are what politics is always about, power, plain and simple. Last week Virginia upended the midterms by narrowly passing a referendum to the state constitution that allows for a… Continue reading Why I don’t give a crap about the gerrymander wars
If you set aside the politics, picking up a flashbang grenade in attempt to throw it at law enforcement officers, begging them to shoot you, driving cars into them, and putting your hands on them while packing heat are decidedly not smart things to do. Let me start by saying in no uncertain terms that… Continue reading A modest proposal: Is it time to bring back the Darwin Awards?
Rather than accept that the federal government supersedes the states when operating within the sphere of its enumerative powers, the claim then and now was that states could pick and choose which laws they would follow and enforce. In the lead up to the Civil War, slaveholding states embraced the idea that they could nullify… Continue reading The new Democrat nullification movement
There’s an old expression that one man’s terrorist is another’s freedom fighter, but today, we might update it to one man’s defender of democracy is another’s fascist. There’s an old expression that one man’s terrorist is another’s freedom fighter, but today, especially in the wake of Charlie Kirk’s shocking killing last week, we might update… Continue reading Inside every American is a fascist waiting to come out
They call the summer the silly season for a reason, but perhaps this particular summer is sillier than others as politicians, the media, and political junkies on social media obsess over two very different issues while the American people enjoy their barbecues and vacations. Over the past month, a man who died in 2019 has… Continue reading Epstein, redistricting, and what connects two issues voters don’t really care about
For years, the media has assumed that demography is destiny, that a more diversified country would lead to an ascendant Democrat Party while reducing Republicans to an ineffectual rump. President Trump has proven them completely, catastrophically wrong, doing what they would have said was impossible. After President Donald Trump’s stunning victory last year, I described… Continue reading Trump’s electoral triumph is even more astounding than previously thought, or so says the New York Times
For all the talk of having a front row to history, this is what it really looks like in action. I used to believe there was no crazier son of a bitch to occupy the Oval Office than Teddy Roosevelt, no greater unstoppable force, but the Bull Moose might have just been taken down a… Continue reading Trump stands alone in a historic victory unlike any other, an unstoppable force emerging more powerful than ever
