Biden’s border bullshit

The plan is to pretend the President didn’t campaign on opening up the border to everyone, didn’t proceed to roll back every successful policy as soon as he got into office, and didn’t watch millions upon millions stream in for three years. Shortly after President Joe Biden took office, I opined that he was committing… Continue reading Biden’s border bullshit

2024 might make 2020 seem like an ordinary year

2024 will be defined by a confluence of events most of which remain completely unpredictable, far more so than most years in modern memory.  Call it the quantum mechanics or Schrödinger’s cat of years, where we will not know what happens until the waveforms collapse into history. 2020 was considered an extraordinary dumpster fire of… Continue reading 2024 might make 2020 seem like an ordinary year

A President’s son is charged, a President himself continues to lie, the media remains half asleep, and where it ends, no one knows

Three years ago The New York Times, CNN, and others pretended there was nothing out of the ordinary with Hunter receiving millions of dollars without providing any work product or paying any taxes. Now, he faces serious jail time. Whether or not this reaches the President himself remains to be seen. Last week, the President’s… Continue reading A President’s son is charged, a President himself continues to lie, the media remains half asleep, and where it ends, no one knows

Biden cannot continue to be at war with himself over Israel and Hamas, or Russia and Ukraine

Clarity of purpose in war is essential.  The enemy must understand and believe you will do whatever it takes to achieve your objective.  How is a war supposed to end when your enemy doesn’t even know what you want in the first place? Last week, President Joe Biden said what most needed saying about the… Continue reading Biden cannot continue to be at war with himself over Israel and Hamas, or Russia and Ukraine

Mitch McConnell has officially lost it, slamming his own party while repeating Democrat talking points

The Senator from Kentucky recently endorsed the idea that war is actually stimulus, bomb someone half a world away to make more bombs here at home, perhaps the most cynical and reprehensible framing in decades. In doing so, he’s opposing the newly minted Speaker of the House and taking other unwarranted shots at his fellow… Continue reading Mitch McConnell has officially lost it, slamming his own party while repeating Democrat talking points

The world is at war in slow motion, until it isn’t

There is a sense of watching some sad tragicomedy unfold, wondering what unexpected and unanticipated catastrophe will happen next, oblivious to the reality that – as at the start of World War I – we might literally be one bullet away from worldwide destruction.  On June 28, 1914, Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria and his… Continue reading The world is at war in slow motion, until it isn’t

Biden’s third war in three years makes this the worst foreign policy ever

At every turn, President Biden has chosen a path that prioritizes talk over action, believing that countries saying they are for something is the same as actually achieving that something, and has failed to deliver actual progress while the world continues to burn. This weekend, President Joseph R. Biden, Jr. completed a tragic trifecta the… Continue reading Biden’s third war in three years makes this the worst foreign policy ever

TikTok, Republicans, and their inability to understand the nature of political power

Today’s establishment minded Republicans are fond of placing what they perceive to be important principles over common sense, transforming their positions into a classic suicide pact. History provides a better guide to a be a successful GOP President. There’s no doubt the second Republican debate was a disorganized mess, marred by poor moderation, worse questions,… Continue reading TikTok, Republicans, and their inability to understand the nature of political power

Joe Biden, an ethical indictment of his family’s influence peddling scheme

The media may choose to focus purely on the legal ramifications of potential influence peddling, but the ethical case is much more damning at this point, especially in regards to Biden’s dealings with Ukraine and Burisma.  We must begin by acknowledging that whether something is legal or ethical are actually two different questions.  The law… Continue reading Joe Biden, an ethical indictment of his family’s influence peddling scheme

Impeachment: The political bombshell that wasn’t

Once upon a time, this would have been huge news, especially one backed by multiple pieces of evidence and the clear knowledge the President did, in fact, lie many times, but in today’s highly polarized age, no one, and I mean no one, seems to care.  During the second impeachment of former President Donald Trump,… Continue reading Impeachment: The political bombshell that wasn’t
