Democrats are officially the party of chaos and contempt for democracy

It’s common for political prognosticators, pundits, and amateurs like myself to rely on historical analogs to explain current events and provide some insight into how the future might unfold, but here, after a sitting President has withdrawn himself as candidate a full month after the primary process has been completed, we have none, because nothing… Continue reading Democrats are officially the party of chaos and contempt for democracy

Splitting antisemitic hairs with an electron microscope

It took former Friends actor David Schwimmer to state the obvious about the protests sweeping American campuses, “If this were any other minority group the response would have been immediate outrage and action.  And yet this antisemitism grows, spreading from middle school to high school to college campuses nationwide…” It’s a sign of our bizarre… Continue reading Splitting antisemitic hairs with an electron microscope

The media is shocked to discover that the Supreme Court cares about more than Donald Trump

The reason even Special Counsel Jack Smith acknowledged at least some of the former President’s actions were official is because elections are essentially political and it has been a democratic norm since the dawn of the Republic that political actions are not criminal. The Supreme Court, fortunately, seems to realize this and is likely to… Continue reading The media is shocked to discover that the Supreme Court cares about more than Donald Trump

Trump can’t lose for winning

Following a unanimous ruling in the Supreme Court, we’re in a brave new world of completely backwards reasoning and it will not be long before someone insists we need to cancel the election entirely to save democracy. Under anything resembling normal circumstances, a unanimous decision from the Supreme Court, that is a ruling that has… Continue reading Trump can’t lose for winning

Trump and the truth about his supporters

It’s certainly not because we’re brainwashed. It’s because we like what we see after decades of establishment failure and outright lies about immigration, economics, international relations, and American life. It’s yet another common refrain in media circles:  President Trump’s supporters are brainwashed in some fashion, beholden only to what he tells them, and unable to… Continue reading Trump and the truth about his supporters

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

The media provides material support to terrorists and should be investigated under the Patriot Act

Multiple prominent media organizations including The New York Times knew exactly what they were doing when they broadcast Hamas’ claim that Israeli conducted an airstrike on a hospital. Lawyers have been jailed for passing on the communications of clients convicted of terrorism. The media should face the same standard. On October 17, multiple media organizations… Continue reading The media provides material support to terrorists and should be investigated under the Patriot Act

Hawaii, Biden’s “heck of a job,” competence, compassion, and empathy this certainly isn’t

The President is lucky in one regard:  He’s not George W. Bush or any other Republican, and so despite showing about as much empathy as Freddy Kreuger does while stalking a victim in a nightmare, he can count on the mainstream media to either ignore his failings entirely or spin them into some kind of… Continue reading Hawaii, Biden’s “heck of a job,” competence, compassion, and empathy this certainly isn’t

An atheist’s case for optimism in the face of oblivion

There might have been a time when existence was so bleak and life so cheap, humanity had little choice except to hope for more, but that period has long passed and developed countries, at least, are world’s of plenty.  As an atheist, I’ve been occasionally asked how one copes with the idea that this life… Continue reading An atheist’s case for optimism in the face of oblivion

Trump-haters beware, the revolution will eat its own

From the highs of a jury finding the former President guilty of sexual assault without any evidence to the lows of a Justice Department report that found no evidence and a lot of bias in the Russian collusion investigation, Trump-haters operate under the assumption that the man deserves it no matter what.  What will happen… Continue reading Trump-haters beware, the revolution will eat its own
