The world’s only one man media empire
From where the average American sits, the choice facing the leaders of Iran seems like no choice at all, but after Saturday’s peace negotiations failed to produce a deal, it clearly is to the remnants of the regime and no one really knows what they will choose, however much they may bloviate otherwise. Throughout the… Continue reading The choice facing Iran, and the reality that most of us aren’t all hawk or all dove all the time
Some might insist the media has been wrong time and time again, there’s no risk of a permanent break happening now. To me at least, that is a misguided perspective. Because something hasn’t happened, does not mean it will not happen. While some prefer to cling to nonsensical polls insisting 100% of President Donald Trump’s… Continue reading The MAGA split over Iran is real for now, but not necessarily forever
It certainly isn’t pretty at times, but beyond death and taxes, there have been two certainties throughout my life, the Middle East was a strange and scary place from which terrorists launched attacks and communism was a creeping, insidious threat. Trump is finally addressing them both. At the risk of dating myself, I was born… Continue reading While much of the world is kicking and screaming, Trump is almost singlehandedly dragging us into the future
The legendary General George S. Patton once quipped, “No dumb bastard ever won a war by going out and dying for his country. He won it by making some other dumb bastard die for his country,” but the experts have suddenly decided otherwise based on at least two false assumptions. On Tuesday, Israel reported that… Continue reading No, killing your enemy’s leadership isn’t a sure fire way to lose a war whatever the experts claim
While we do not yet know what sort of government will emerge in Iran, the President is adopting a policy much closer to the success of World War II’s unconditional surrender than the failure of the Iraq War’s regime change. Last week, President Donald Trump demanded nothing less than unconditional surrender from Iran to end… Continue reading Iran: Call it regime change, unconditional surrender, or whatever you like so long as whoever’s in charge at the end agrees to a few key things
During the Cold War, the theory held that one country falling to communism led to another, but today Trump is toppling states allied with China and Russia in an inverted incarnation. In the aftermath of World War II, the world was roughly divided into two spheres of influence. Countries either lived under the protective umbrella… Continue reading Trump is running the “Domino Theory” in reverse
There doesn’t seem to be a single element of the status quo the President finds acceptable and whenever he happens to determine something is unacceptable, he has not hesitated to put his entire Presidency and its ultimately legacy on the line. In some other universe, Donald Trump retook office on January 20, 2025 and proceeded… Continue reading The ridiculous audacity of Donald Trump
While this speech, nor any speech, is likely to be remembered in an age of short attention spans, the President did two things that could matter by tying his policies to individual people and positioning the Democrats as anti-American rather than merely anti-Trump. On Tuesday night, President Donald Trump delivered an effective if not truly… Continue reading Trump’s State of the Union and the two things that might matter in the days ahead
The left cheered for a performance in Spanish, whether or not they understood a single word, then they cheered for a performance in English, whether or not the performer said a single thing. Last weekend, progressive firebrand Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez went global, attending the Munich Security Conference in what many believe is an effort to… Continue reading AOC, Bad Bunny, and the sad reality that it doesn’t matter what progressives say anymore as long as they’re progressives
Progressives are betting entirely on hatred of the President and a disaster of any kind, but what if that disaster never occurs? While it is normal for the opposition party to oppose, I don’t think many would argue that opposition to President Trump is on an entirely different level than anything we have seen… Continue reading Democrats are all in against President Trump, but they might find themselves boxed in later this year
