The ChatGPT Resistance is a danger to the country, from the cartel boat strikes to Venezuela, outrage isn’t enough

A functioning republic requires real opposition, asking real questions and demanding real answers.  Outrage on its own, recycled forever, in the same form as if it was spat out of a computer, is a threat to the future. At this point, we know the cycle better than we’d like.  In what we can only call… Continue reading The ChatGPT Resistance is a danger to the country, from the cartel boat strikes to Venezuela, outrage isn’t enough

Gaza and Ukraine: A tale of two different forever wars

War and peace

While the two conflicts certainly aren’t the same, there are similarities after several years of fighting, but ironically, conservatives and progressives tend to take the opposite view of each.  Admittedly, I have been skeptical of our efforts to help Ukraine prevail against the Russian invasion while being generally supportive of Israel’s efforts against Hamas in… Continue reading Gaza and Ukraine: A tale of two different forever wars

The Era of Perpetual Outrage

Does anyone remember Elon Musk’s supposed Nazi salute? Or when planes were supposedly falling out of they sky in other countries because of President Trump? How about claims the entire government was about to collapse and people were going to die? If President Joe Biden presided over the Era of Perpetual Bailouts, we can confidently… Continue reading The Era of Perpetual Outrage

Trump’s critics are livin’ in the future on tariffs and everything else, imagining calamities that haven’t happened yet and might never

Though it’s traditional that an incoming President has six months if not a full year before the economy can be considered their responsibility, Trump was barely provided a week and even worse, some claim he should be held accountable for what hasn’t happened yet and might never happen. The criticisms of President Donald Trump are… Continue reading Trump’s critics are livin’ in the future on tariffs and everything else, imagining calamities that haven’t happened yet and might never

Trump, Zelensky, the reality that there are no guarantees in life, and other lessons from a disastrous meeting in the Oval Office that shouldn’t have been

No piece of paper can fully commit a country to war on behalf of another. Rather than lecturing President Trump, President Zelensky should have read his George Washington, accepting that strong commercial relations are the foundation for mutual defense, not words on a page. Whether you love President Donald Trump or hate him, the simple,… Continue reading Trump, Zelensky, the reality that there are no guarantees in life, and other lessons from a disastrous meeting in the Oval Office that shouldn’t have been

2024 could’ve been a hell of a lot worse, but don’t tell the media that…

When you consider the literal and figurative bullets the world dodged on the way to December 31, things could have been much, much worse, almost unimaginably so, but don’t tell our so-called betters that.  They are mired in misery and think you should be too.  Even in conservative circles, 2024 is getting a bad wrap,… Continue reading 2024 could’ve been a hell of a lot worse, but don’t tell the media that…

Trump’s victory has completely shifted the political and cultural landscape, making him more popular than ever

President Trump has an opportunity to deliver on his promises that he didn’t have in 2016.  The world is watching and more people than ever, from average Americans to world leaders and business tycoons, are rooting for him. If you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em.  The old expression appears to capture a willingness to embrace… Continue reading Trump’s victory has completely shifted the political and cultural landscape, making him more popular than ever

Biden and Harris demand peace in the Middle East despite a string of victories that might actually secure it, while seeking total victory in Ukraine even as Russia continues to flaunt their growing power

Previously, I had opined that just when you thought the Biden-Harris foreign policy couldn’t get any worse it does.  I followed that up by claiming that we’re an impotent bystander in world affairs, but somehow they have managed to continue to reach depths previously thought unreachable. Earlier this week, Secretary of State Antony Blinken made… Continue reading Biden and Harris demand peace in the Middle East despite a string of victories that might actually secure it, while seeking total victory in Ukraine even as Russia continues to flaunt their growing power

Biden and Harris have turned the United States into an incompetent bystander in world affairs 

Much of the recent focus has been on Israel for obvious reasons, but no one listens to us anymore. From Iran to Russia to China to even potentially close allies like India, we watch as the world burns and global power realigns. Last week, Israel shocked the world by executing a massive aerial bombardment on… Continue reading Biden and Harris have turned the United States into an incompetent bystander in world affairs 

Biden’s foreign policy is so bad, even CNN can barely spin it anymore

The President appeared before the UN General Assembly to brag about himself and lie about a peace plan for the Middle East that his own Administration has scrapped. Even worse, the Administration admits that despite months of effort, there is no Plan B and no way forward from here to end the bloodshed. It’s official: … Continue reading Biden’s foreign policy is so bad, even CNN can barely spin it anymore
