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
Black white supremacy goes mainstream in less than a month
The killing of Tyre Nichols at the hands of five black police officers is proof enough for progressives that white supremacy is now colorblind, afflicting black as well as white. Policing in its entirety is now a racist endeavor, apparently due to a mind virus of some kind. Earlier this year, progressives expanded the definition… Continue reading Black white supremacy goes mainstream in less than a month
The curious case of Senator Kyrsten Sinema
The Arizona Senator declares her independence from the Democrat Party, claiming partisanship in Washington, DC has run amuck, and yet she expects nothing to change after her announcement. Progressives may have other plans after this curiously inconsequential development. Last week, Arizona Senator Kyrsten Sinema rocked the political world by announcing she was leaving the Democrat… Continue reading The curious case of Senator Kyrsten Sinema
Coronavirus and abortion: Why can’t we be more like Europe?
European countries used to be a beacon for progressives eager to expand social programs and promote “democratic socialism,” but the comparison has fallen out of favor during the pandemic because it’s no longer politically useful. Europe has taken a more reasonable approach to vaccines, including analyzing their real risks, and abortion than American progressives will… Continue reading Coronavirus and abortion: Why can’t we be more like Europe?
Ron DeSantis: Is the Florida governor the Republicans’ only hope?
The New York Post recently proclaimed him “DeFuture.” The Florida governor has a lot to recommend himself for the Republican nomination. A resounding re-election, a strong resume, a coronavirus response rooted in freedom, and a willingness to fight for conservative causes. At least, that’s the theory. The practice, as ever, is a lot more complicated… Continue reading Ron DeSantis: Is the Florida governor the Republicans’ only hope?
Coronavirus: Three conditions for a pandemic “amnesty”
More and more experts are finally acknowledging the lockdown policies were a disaster. In a stunning turn of events, The Atlantic proclaims the need for a pandemic amnesty to reduce existing tensions, but conservatives are in no mood to forgive and forget without a reckoning of some kind. Last week, a leading proponent of coronavirus… Continue reading Coronavirus: Three conditions for a pandemic “amnesty”
Trump: Attorney General Letitia James’ quest to slay the Orange Beast ends in a civil whimper
The merits of the suit are impossible to tell at this point, but it’s hard to overstate how much of a letdown a civil action is for a woman who spent close to three years chasing the demon that is Trump, claiming it was “fueling her soul” and “I look forward to going into the… Continue reading Trump: Attorney General Letitia James’ quest to slay the Orange Beast ends in a civil whimper
Biden supporters should spare us the buyer’s remorse
The media has suddenly discovered that President Biden is a rapidly fading old man and some Democrats are claiming he shouldn’t run again in 2024. Of course, Biden’s many problems were evident long before he got into office. Where were they then? Nobody should be surprised that Joe Biden makes an awful President. He’d been… Continue reading Biden supporters should spare us the buyer’s remorse
