Reminder: Progressives hate Sydney Sweeney simply because she appeared in a clothing ad and all they have is hate for any disagreement, real or even perceived

Christian TwisteLeave a comment

While Ms. Sweeney might be an unlikely avatar for our increasingly illiberal and insane times, an avatar of the left’s hate and endless outrage, she certainly is.  Indeed, the absurdity of the whole situation only helps illustrate the point. Last week, Sydney Sweeney made news once again when detractors objected to her choice of clothing… Continue reading Reminder: Progressives hate Sydney Sweeney simply because she appeared in a clothing ad and all they have is hate for any disagreement, real or even perceived

Disgusting: The media is happy to undermine US foreign policy if they believe it hurts Trump

Christian TwisteLeave a comment

Rather than ask a substantiative question about the future of the Middle East and the world, the media preferred to focus on an eight year old murder and invoke 9-11 to embarrass the President and the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia in person. Last week, President Donald Trump welcomed Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman… Continue reading Disgusting: The media is happy to undermine US foreign policy if they believe it hurts Trump

Sydney Sweeney versus Zohran Mamdani 2040: The revolution will now be cosplayed

Christian TwisteLeave a comment

Somehow, an actress is slammed as a white supremacist archetype of conservatism for appearing in an advertisement as celebrities frequently do while two obvious phonies, children of privilege who claim to be socialist revolutionaries, are the new face of the Democrat Party, redefining politics for an entire generation.  Over the past six months, perhaps no… Continue reading Sydney Sweeney versus Zohran Mamdani 2040: The revolution will now be cosplayed

Did a progressive finally admit Democrats have moved too far left for their own good?

Christian TwisteLeave a comment

Rather than acting like adults who have encountered a disagreement and making adjustments, a progressive columnists accuses his own side of lashing out like children, blaming them for their beliefs, claiming they are “irrational” and “unacceptable.”  It’s become something of a catechism in progressive circles:  The Republican Party, particularly under President Donald Trump, has moved… Continue reading Did a progressive finally admit Democrats have moved too far left for their own good?

Trump’s stake in Intel and the free market fantasy

Christian TwisteLeave a comment

“I don’t care if it’s a dollar or a billion-dollar stake,” Republican Senator Thom Tillis protested. “That starts feeling like a semi state-owned enterprise à la CCCP,” he added, referring to the old acronym for the USSR.  “I don’t believe the U.S. government should be picking winners and losers.”  President Donald Trump’s almost unprecedented decision… Continue reading Trump’s stake in Intel and the free market fantasy

Trump, the Bolton raid, and my conservative principles

Christian TwisteLeave a comment

The real question is whether justice has indeed been blind to the point where these and potentially other actions are fundamentally altering its nature, or has justice been transformed into the raw exercise of power rather than the pursuit of truth and fairness. Last week, critics of President Trump and his supporters on both the… Continue reading Trump, the Bolton raid, and my conservative principles

No, I don’t need some scold’s permission to love boobs and other recent misadventures in thought control, media, and advertising

Christian TwisteLeave a comment

When was the last time you saw an ad for an automobile featuring a dirty, dinged up car parked in some equally trash strewn and crowded garage, even though that’s what happens to the great majority of cars in the real world? Last week, I noted that the recent controversy over Sydney Sweeney’s appearance in… Continue reading No, I don’t need some scold’s permission to love boobs and other recent misadventures in thought control, media, and advertising

How stupid do Democrats and their enablers in the mainstream media think we are?

Christian TwisteLeave a comment

Last week, CNN claimed that Iran was essentially closer to building a bomb than they were before the strikes. Last month, they told us store shelves would be empty by now. Clearly, they do not believe we are capable of remembering what was said less than a week ago or considering the veracity of their… Continue reading How stupid do Democrats and their enablers in the mainstream media think we are?

Democrats can’t have it both ways on President Trump, simultaneously smearing him and demanding he treat them with something less than the contempt they themselves reek

Christian TwisteLeave a comment

Why they seem to believe they can simultaneously slander him and expect him to treat them as partners in government remains a mystery that flies in the face of political history and human nature.  Earlier this week, Democrats were outraged at President Donald Trump for two reasons, one completely inconsequential, the other quite consequential, nicely… Continue reading Democrats can’t have it both ways on President Trump, simultaneously smearing him and demanding he treat them with something less than the contempt they themselves reek

Bruce Springsteen and the now purely performative Resistance

Christian Twiste3 Comments

What’s the point of prefacing what’s supposed to a celebration of rock and roll, perhaps Mr. Springsteen’s final run considering he will turn 76 later this year, with a political diatribe of largely recycled talking points? Last week, legendary singer, songwriter, and all-around-rocker, Bruce Springsteen chose to open his European “Land of Hope and Dreams”… Continue reading Bruce Springsteen and the now purely performative Resistance
