A civil debate, but not for the reasons many think

In a wise strategic decision for both campaigns, Governor Walz focused almost exclusively on former President Trump’s unfitness for office and Senator Vance presented a calm, compelling, and rational case for President Trump without the usual bombast. Much has been made of the fact that Tuesday’s Vice Presidential debate between Senator JD Vance and Governor… Continue reading A civil debate, but not for the reasons many think

Everyone knows Vice President Kamala Harris is awful, just like President Joe Biden before her

The silly season ended yesterday, but the only way she can win is to hope it continues through the election. Those hailing her meteoric ascension should do well to remember that meteors don’t rise. They fall to Earth, either disappearing in a flash in the atmosphere or causing havoc down below. Perhaps the most stunning… Continue reading Everyone knows Vice President Kamala Harris is awful, just like President Joe Biden before her

This new “politics of joy” is extremely weird

Why would any rational human being planning a political campaign believe people outside the Democrat bubble are feeling anything resembling joy?  This is joy as some kind of mass delusion or projection, a mind virus rather than a serious political movement.  Previously, I have opined that describing political matters as joyous or infused with joy… Continue reading This new “politics of joy” is extremely weird

The DNC’s prevailing narrative is so far from the truth it might as well be a broadcast from another dimension

Under anything resembling normal circumstances, the spectacle of a massive protest by members of the Democrat Party outside the Democrat National Convention would garner at least a few words, but the need to buttress the largely false narrative of joy and unity overwhelms honesty and integrity. To hear the mainstream media tell it, the Democrat… Continue reading The DNC’s prevailing narrative is so far from the truth it might as well be a broadcast from another dimension

Biden’s “Sherry Darling” moment at the DNC because Governor Walz is such a Springsteen fan

Sherry won’t abandon her mother, and the speaker is either stuck with the three of them jammed into the same small car, or he can move on, hoping to catch the eye of one of those “girls melting on the beach,” but the Vice President doesn’t have that option when it comes to casting off… Continue reading Biden’s “Sherry Darling” moment at the DNC because Governor Walz is such a Springsteen fan

The Democrats and the media are still scared shitless of Trump

The media wants you to think of the current race as something akin to a prime 2008 Barack Obama battling a beleaguered 2016 Donald Trump.  The one is the candidate of all our hopes, dreams, and aspirations.  The other is completely unhinged, bitter, angry, and unfit. Both are serious cases of projection... “The lady doth… Continue reading The Democrats and the media are still scared shitless of Trump

Let them eat joy

One narrative holds that Vice President Kamala Harris has created the most joyous, transcendent election campaign since President Barack Obama in less than three weeks.  Another is that she has done absolutely nothing except garner larger crowds, read someone else’s scripts, and pose for the cameras.  Like magic, the media has settled on a new… Continue reading Let them eat joy
