The world’s only one man media empire
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
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
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
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
Generally speaking, it’s true not to make concessions prior to a negotiation, but it’s also true that you are unlikely to begin negotiations in the first place if your position is perceived as unacceptable. When you are negotiating a fair price for a new car, you don’t begin by offering half of the list price.… Continue reading Trump, the Russo-Japanese War, and the truth about negotiating with Russia
When Trump first entered office in 2017, he was a political neophyte, but his challenge was even starker with seemingly no awareness that a resistance in the very body he was supposed to lead would soon be actively plotting against him. By now, everyone knows that President-elect Donald Trump is only the second Chief Executive… Continue reading Trump in Paris and a presidential transition unlike any other
While calls for him to exit continue, the Democrat National Convention is barely a month away, beginning on August 19 in Chicago, IL. To me at least, it is inconceivable that anyone would attempt to swap candidates after this seminal event. Last Thursday – two short days before the assassination attempt on former President Donald… Continue reading Can Biden beat the count and make it to the convention?
The Kremlin is richer than ever after two years of crippling sanctions, Ukraine is losing on the battlefield despite spending well upwards of a $100 billion, and Putin just assassinated his topic critic after the United States threatened devastating consequences. If this is winning as President Biden and the mainstream media keep telling us, what… Continue reading Biden’s Russia policy is a complete failure, Russia is richer than ever and Putin kills with impunity
Classified documents reveal the reality of the war in Ukraine to be far different from how it’s described by the administration and the media. New reporting suggests Ukrainian officials are stealing hundreds of millions of dollars and purchasing fuel from their enemy. The government and the media ignore all this, however, and focus exclusively on… Continue reading The government and the media want a license to lie with impunity
President Teddy Roosevelt once said, “speak softly and carry a big stick.” This is the exact opposite: We have no stick at all, and yet we’re carrying on as if we had a baseball bat. So long as Europe is dependent on Russian energy, Russia will do what it wants in Eastern Europe. We should… Continue reading Ukraine: Why are we hyping up an invasion we can do nothing about?
