America at 250, why does progressive politics define the lives of so many of our fellow citizens, making them almost completely miserable?

Mountain landscape with sunrise on left and thunderstorm with lightning on right

As even Vox.com was honest enough to note, America in 1976 was in a far worse place than today, and yet Americans felt better about the country and the future. Before the results of the 2024 election were known on the evening of November 5, I encouraged everyone to remember their Billy Joel.  At the… Continue reading America at 250, why does progressive politics define the lives of so many of our fellow citizens, making them almost completely miserable?

For at least a decade, the conventional wisdom has held that the Republican Party has become increasingly extreme, moving… Continue reading The Democratic Socialists of America are devouring the Democrat Party, who are the real radicals now?

Trump, Swalwell, and shamelessness as a political super power

Four people in superhero costumes wearing campaign sashes standing in a room with skeletons and campaign signs

While we might like to believe there are rules to the great game, there are none except doing everything possible to advance your own and your party’s power. Earlier this week, President Donald Trump posted an AI-generated image of himself as a religious figure healing the sick.  He was dressed in robes with glowing hands,… Continue reading Trump, Swalwell, and shamelessness as a political super power

Speaking to American Men: If Vice President Al Gore’s attempt to portray himself as an Alpha male in 2000 is any indication, history repeats itself, though sometimes it’s always a farce

As Democrats pour $20 million into an effort to “study the syntax, language and content that gains attention and virality in the spaces” male voters frequent, remember that 25 years ago, a Presidential candidate attempted to rebrand himself in a similar way to laughable results. Way back in 1999, Presidential candidate and sitting Vice President… Continue reading Speaking to American Men: If Vice President Al Gore’s attempt to portray himself as an Alpha male in 2000 is any indication, history repeats itself, though sometimes it’s always a farce

Trump’s electoral triumph is even more astounding than previously thought, or so says the New York Times

For years, the media has assumed that demography is destiny, that a more diversified country would lead to an ascendant Democrat Party while reducing Republicans to an ineffectual rump.  President Trump has proven them completely, catastrophically wrong, doing what they would have said was impossible. After President Donald Trump’s stunning victory last year, I described… Continue reading Trump’s electoral triumph is even more astounding than previously thought, or so says the New York Times

The media is only getting what’s coming after losing a nine year war against the most powerful man in the known universe

They did whatever they could, however they could, to take Trump out, and they did so in plain view of the public with a plain purpose in mind.  They lost, but now we’re supposed to feel sorry for them, so sorry that they failed to achieve the goal and the person they persecuted, relentlessly, maliciously,… Continue reading The media is only getting what’s coming after losing a nine year war against the most powerful man in the known universe

A Ferrari in every driveway and a Rolex on every wrist

In the real world, everyone instinctively knows this is impossible, that you cannot subsidize your way to rich, all while embracing the Toyota and Timex equivalent.  Why?  To the extent Vice President Kamala Harris has an economic policy, it can perhaps best be summarized as a continuation of President Joe Biden’s subsidize everything approach, where… Continue reading A Ferrari in every driveway and a Rolex on every wrist

JD Vance, Cat Ladies, and an Anatomy of a Fake Scandal

Everyone had a “cat lady” on their block as a child.  The house you crept past for fear of getting yelled at for no reason, the one you’d dread should a stray ball land on her lawn, the door you ran from should it open.  No one, and I mean no one wanted that person… Continue reading JD Vance, Cat Ladies, and an Anatomy of a Fake Scandal

Assassination attempts are inevitable, piss poor security is to blame rather than rhetoric

Former President Donald Trump is not the first leader to be targeted, nor will he be the last.  As long as there have been politicians, or leaders of any kind, there have been those who seek to kill them for reasons of every kind. As we begin to internalize and rationalize the heinous events of… Continue reading Assassination attempts are inevitable, piss poor security is to blame rather than rhetoric

Oppenheimer and the “whitewashing” of the Japanese in World War II

In truth, the Japanese were the aggressors, responsible for millions of deaths and uncounted war crimes.  They aspired to be the very colonialist, imperial power that progressives claim to loathe, but the ironclad rules of intersectionality make them the victim when the United States is involved. Earlier this month, the Oscar winning film Oppenheimer premiered… Continue reading Oppenheimer and the “whitewashing” of the Japanese in World War II
