The Washington Post’s endorsement “scandal” says a lot more about progressives than anything else

Inherent in the outrage is the idea that media outlets exist to advance their progressive view of the world, prioritizing their beliefs and preferences above all others.  Progressives have whipped themselves into a frenzy over The Washington Post’s decision not to endorse a candidate for president this year or, assuming they stick to it, any… Continue reading The Washington Post’s endorsement “scandal” says a lot more about progressives than anything else

Donald Trump and the law of diminishing returns

As pundits ponder the resiliency of a former President they despise, they’d do well to consider that people become dulled to controversies, real and imagined,  and the accompanying rhetoric, causing both to lose their potency.  There are few politicians, especially in recent memory, who have been denigrated as aggressively and hyperbolically as President Trump.  Lately,… Continue reading Donald Trump and the law of diminishing returns

Trump: Dead or alive, you’re coming with me, so says the establishment

Conceivably, we might have given them the benefit of the doubt the first time around, applying the old adage about fooling me once and fooling me twice, but the second? After the second assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump in as many months, it’s become all-too clear that the establishment, which includes the Secret… Continue reading Trump: Dead or alive, you’re coming with me, so says the establishment

The DNC’s prevailing narrative is so far from the truth it might as well be a broadcast from another dimension

Under anything resembling normal circumstances, the spectacle of a massive protest by members of the Democrat Party outside the Democrat National Convention would garner at least a few words, but the need to buttress the largely false narrative of joy and unity overwhelms honesty and integrity. To hear the mainstream media tell it, the Democrat… Continue reading The DNC’s prevailing narrative is so far from the truth it might as well be a broadcast from another dimension

The Democrats and the media are still scared shitless of Trump

The media wants you to think of the current race as something akin to a prime 2008 Barack Obama battling a beleaguered 2016 Donald Trump.  The one is the candidate of all our hopes, dreams, and aspirations.  The other is completely unhinged, bitter, angry, and unfit. Both are serious cases of projection... “The lady doth… Continue reading The Democrats and the media are still scared shitless of Trump

Let them eat joy

One narrative holds that Vice President Kamala Harris has created the most joyous, transcendent election campaign since President Barack Obama in less than three weeks.  Another is that she has done absolutely nothing except garner larger crowds, read someone else’s scripts, and pose for the cameras.  Like magic, the media has settled on a new… Continue reading Let them eat joy

Trump, the black vote, and what can only be described as balls of steel

If you believe our obsession with racial identity is a threat to the future, a poison in our discourse, and a majority of Americans are increasingly tired of being labeled purely by ethnicity, you need to confront the issue head on, especially when your opponent is exploiting the accidents of her race for political gain.… Continue reading Trump, the black vote, and what can only be described as balls of steel

The batshit crazy coronation of Kamala Harris is history repeating itself as farce

Everyone knows Vice President Harris is awful.  It’s why talk about whether President Biden should withdraw from the race included an aside about what to do with her.  Is it possible she could be passed over somehow?  Instead, she had to be completely remade, downright deified, the same way Biden was before her.  As I… Continue reading The batshit crazy coronation of Kamala Harris is history repeating itself as farce

Trump’s intentionally salacious trials, from Stormy Daniels testimony to the FBI staging lurid photos

Stormy Daniels tells the court she spanked a former President with a rolled up magazine that had his photo on the cover before insisting she can speak to dead people while the FBI admits to staging the legal equivalent of pornography with a sensational photo of altered classified documents. While the media has been obsessed… Continue reading Trump’s intentionally salacious trials, from Stormy Daniels testimony to the FBI staging lurid photos

Springsteen’s “Tougher Than the Rest” and the dramatic decline in divorce rates

Barely half as many couples are getting divorced and more couples are getting married than in recent years. Some experts attribute the trend to being intentional about your mate and choosing companionship rather than romance. Perhaps Springsteen put it best in “Tougher Than the Rest,” or even Shakespeare hundreds of years earlier in Romeo and… Continue reading Springsteen’s “Tougher Than the Rest” and the dramatic decline in divorce rates
