The world’s only one man media empire
Why would a man that’s supposed to be desperate beyond belief to end hostilities with any kind of deal, refuse one that was on the table, and make a reasonably big show of going back and forth about it? According to conventional wisdom, President Donald Trump is desperate to make a deal with Iran. Like… Continue reading Is Trump really desperate for a deal in Iran or is time much more on our side than widely reported?
Top Democrats are rallying around a Senate candidate with a Nazi tattoo, a long history of engaging in various sexual proclivities, and various other issues that make him somewhat Trumpian in the worst possible sense of the term according to his detractors. For more than a decade, Democrats and their progressive allies have insisted that… Continue reading Maine’s Graham Platner and the sad truth that everything Democrats say is bullshit
While we remain at war, why do the markets seem optimistic about the future when they should be pessimistic in the face of these concerns, and is this an optimism that can last or simply a calm in the storm? Though last weekend’s peace talks in Islamabad, Pakistan failed to produce a deal between the… Continue reading Iran: Is it all over but the crying?
The sight, however symbolic, of the Arab Nations joining traditional European, North American, and Asian allies along with their long term adversary Israel in a joint mission would be something no one has ever seen before, perhaps as important as Teddy Roosevelt’s Great White Fleet was way back in 1907. Last week, the media was… Continue reading The Trump Armada
If the government were to subsidize Ferraris for a year, that doesn’t mean the cost of a Ferrari will go up when the subsidies expire. It means the amount of money given to you to purchase a Ferrari went down. If there is a healthcare deal to be had, it cannot simply be to expand… Continue reading No, endless subsidies do not make healthcare or anything else more affordable
They call the summer the silly season for a reason, but perhaps this particular summer is sillier than others as politicians, the media, and political junkies on social media obsess over two very different issues while the American people enjoy their barbecues and vacations. Over the past month, a man who died in 2019 has… Continue reading Epstein, redistricting, and what connects two issues voters don’t really care about
If the Journal’s reporting on a supposed birthday letter President Trump sent to Jeffrey Epstein 22 years ago is any indication, the media has chosen to continue the unsustainable practices that have made them among the least trusted institutions in American life. Under normal circumstances, an industry driven by trust would do everything possible to… Continue reading Trump, Epstein, The Wall Street Journal, and the media’s ongoing suicide
While it remains to be seen if a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, Syria joining the Abraham Accords, and even a group of sheikhs in the West Bank, will come to fruition, clearly something has changed radically in the region over the past six months and just as clearly, that something is President Trump. Shortly… Continue reading A Big, Beautiful Peace Deal in the Middle East?
Lying about the mental state of the President and failing to discharge duties related to that mental state are both conspiracies against the United States, punishable by law, but accountability beyond jettisoning the perpetrators into political oblivion will be hard to come by. Conservatives have long been convinced that President Joe Biden’s cognitive decline… Continue reading Don’t look now, but the year is ending with the biggest political scandal in the history and no one seems to care
Doublethink is to be expected for those in positions of power, but to the average person, who had been supporting President Biden this entire time and who’d believed what they’d been told, it should have been a shocking revelation that they had been mislead, especially as they watched it collapse in real time. To me… Continue reading When did so many progressives become trained seals clapping for their masters?
