A functioning republic requires real opposition, asking real questions and demanding real answers. Outrage on its own, recycled forever, in the same form as if it was spat out of a computer, is a threat to the future. At this point, we know the cycle better than we’d like. In what we can only call… Continue reading The ChatGPT Resistance is a danger to the country, from the cartel boat strikes to Venezuela, outrage isn’t enough

The root cause of our political discontent
Democracy requires debate, but debate assumes that both sides have a legitimate position even if they strenuously disagree. Fascists, however, are fundamentally illegitimate, not to be reasoned with, but defeated or destroyed, hence there is no more room for debate in many Democrat circles. Both before and after the assassination of Charlie Kirk, many reasons… Continue reading The root cause of our political discontent
Trump, the Bolton raid, and my conservative principles
The real question is whether justice has indeed been blind to the point where these and potentially other actions are fundamentally altering its nature, or has justice been transformed into the raw exercise of power rather than the pursuit of truth and fairness. Last week, critics of President Trump and his supporters on both the… Continue reading Trump, the Bolton raid, and my conservative principles
Epstein, redistricting, and what connects two issues voters don’t really care about
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
Some assassins are more equal than others, at least according to far too many progressives
When Luigi Mangione gunned down a health insurance CEO six months ago, he was hailed as a hunky folk hero fighting for the oppressed, but somehow violence directed at Democrats is beyond the pale. I have a pretty simple rule: Political violence including political assassinations is bad, beyond the pale, something that should never happen… Continue reading Some assassins are more equal than others, at least according to far too many progressives
Why I’m all out of compassion for government workers in the wake of the pandemic
Less than four years ago, the unvaccinated were the enemy, killing their fellow citizens, and their rights, their jobs, their families, their homes, their entire lives didn’t matter. There was no compassion to be found. No sympathy. No helping hand. In many cases, not even unemployment when they were forced from their jobs for no… Continue reading Why I’m all out of compassion for government workers in the wake of the pandemic
Stuck on Nazi stupid
Democrats and their media allies have decided that President Trump is, at least for now, untouchable, having already survived the onslaught and prospered, but for some reason they believe the same overheated rhetoric, rhetoric that clearly devalues the Holocaust as they claim others are doing, will take down Elon Musk. If you needed any more… Continue reading Stuck on Nazi stupid
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
Trump in Paris and a presidential transition unlike any other
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
Will progressives ever tire of a media that lies to them repeatedly and treats them like morons?
For almost a decade now, the mainstream media has widely claimed or at least suggested that once and future President Donald Trump was unelectable for an ever changing variety of reasons, ranging from his lack of appeal and the legal onslaught against him. They were wrong and in many cases, they lied. I can’t be… Continue reading Will progressives ever tire of a media that lies to them repeatedly and treats them like morons?
