The world’s only one man media empire
It was Ronald Reagan who once quipped that the deficit was big enough to take care of itself. We can rightly criticize Trump for spending too much, we can encourage and cajole him into cutting more, but we cannot hold him accountable for a problem for which there is no politically viable fix. Last week,… Continue reading Trump and the sad truth about the deficit and the debt
Last year, Democrats put the country through the longest shutdown in history and have precisely nothing to show for it. The situation is even worse for them right now, but Trump Derangement and the constant belief that this time things will be different, is a sad yet powerful thing. Though the ink is barely dry… Continue reading Don’t look now, but Democrats are picking yet another funding battle they will lose
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?
We have two choices when the Democrats and the media assert President Donald Trump’s actions are unprecedented in anything other than the pace, volume, and effectiveness. Either they truly believe the world began on January 20, 2025, or they think you are stupid enough to believe so yourself. To hear Democrats, progressives, and their allies… Continue reading No, the world didn’t begin on January 20 when President Trump retook office
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
Somehow, he has achieved what would make the greatest foreign policy practitioner in Presidential history, Teddy Roosevelt blush: He’s taking credit for a war complete with making demands of the currently losing side without directly prosecuting it. As inevitable as the sun coming up in the morning, war hysteria appears to be gripping Washington in… Continue reading Can someone, anyone explain why President Trump would go to war with Iran at this point?
They call it the silly season for a reason, but I don’t think anyone was prepared for a prolonged debate about tacos and somehow this was to cause some type of fatal wound to President Trump’s unabashedly masculine image. While the American people have been subject to an explosion of outrage almost every week since… Continue reading Tacos, the onset of the silly season, and the repellant stench of desperation emanating from the entire progressive movement
President Biden acted on his own and displayed a unique selflessness, serving the nation rather than his personal interests, or at least that’s the approved narrative, but a narrative is simply a story we lay over underlying facts to make sense of disparate events. As the “official” narrative would have it, President Joe Biden selflessly… Continue reading Trump is the first presidential candidate in history to beat his opponent months before the vote
Ultimately, it is a positive sign that justice is finally being served in the sordid case of Hunter Biden, but the idea that this is proof positive that justice remains impartial in America says more about the media than anything else. Hunter Biden’s conviction on felony gun charges earlier this week immediately prompted the mainstream… Continue reading No, Hunter’s conviction doesn’t mean justice remains blind in America, not when the Justice Department continues to protect President Biden in plain view
