Is It Really About Trump?

Good grief, no. What do they teach you kids these days? Look, I think Trump was a danged site better president than he had any right to be but that doesn’t mean he was all that great. I agree with him politically but his administration left something to be desired in the ‘actually getting stuff done’ department. To his credit he gave a decent try at every major promise he made on the campaign trail but he left more than … Continue reading “Is It Really About Trump?”

What if the Republican Party Collapsed and No One Noticed?

If you aren’t one of the three folks who actually listen to me from time to time, you may not have heard me rant about a ‘party system shift’. It’s nothing particularly new to American politics. Depending on who you ask we’re due for Number 6 or Number 7. Personally, I think we’re on 6.5 but let’s just go with 7. Everyone is familiar with our two party system. What most folks aren’t aware of is that those parties collapse … Continue reading “What if the Republican Party Collapsed and No One Noticed?”

Useless to Ukraine and Turning on Israel – Biden’s Confused Foreign Policy

Seriously? What the heck, Joe? Hint: winning wars – or at least supporting the winners – tends to go over well with voters. Betraying the nation-states that count on us, not so much. It’s like the Democrats have no idea how to win elections any longer. I’ll help you out guys – this ain’t it. I’m well aware that many conservative supporters of Ukraine blame the Republicans for the failure to pass a new aid package. They are half right. … Continue reading “Useless to Ukraine and Turning on Israel – Biden’s Confused Foreign Policy”

Super Tuesday and the State of the Union

Well that was a busy week wasn’t it? In a surprise to absolutely no one, Donald Trump won 14 of the 15 states on Super Tuesday. In a shock to absolutely everyone, Joe Biden made it all the way through the State of the Union address without collapsing, wandering off the stage or otherwise showing advanced stages of dementia. Having won Vermont, Nikki Haley, finally getting a clue, has dropped out of the presidential race. So what does all this … Continue reading “Super Tuesday and the State of the Union”

9 – 0 ! The Constitution WINS!

The United States Supreme Court just handed down a rare unanimous and per curiam decision in the Colorado case attempting to remove Donald Trump from the ballot in which the Court reversed the Colorado Supreme Court. Fancy words for the Supreme Court smacked the Colorado Supreme Court hard. Not only will Trump be on the ballot, the Court in no uncertain terms told Colorado and the rest of the States that they do NOT have the power to determine who … Continue reading “9 – 0 ! The Constitution WINS!”

Is the European Union Democratic?

No, of course not. It’s a bureaucracy. You need details, huh? They really don’t teach you college kids much for all that money they charge you, do they? Any word ending in -cracy refers to what governs. Democracy just means the people govern – there aren’t any true democracies. Autocracy means a single person has full governing power. Think ‘despot’ but that’s just the usual outcome. Benevolent autocracy is possible in theory. So far, it hasn’t happened. So what’s a … Continue reading “Is the European Union Democratic?”

Is Biden a Stalking Horse?

That’s probably the intention of the Democrat Party at this point. Will it work? If you define ‘work’ in this case as ‘backfire massively’, yes, it’ll work great. You young ‘uns are waiting for me to define ‘stalking horse’, aren’t you? This is why glare smilies exist, you know! Smilies are emojis. You are holding a dozen universities in your hand but looking up stalking horse is too much trouble? I’m not even touching the fact that you didn’t know … Continue reading “Is Biden a Stalking Horse?”

America May be a Bit Crazy, But the Crazies Don’t Speak for America

/ Unless you’re a Democrat, of course. How’s that working out for ya, Bud Light? Do you really think a Super Bowl commercial is going to make any difference to the people you refuse to apologize to? You know, you customers? Oh. let’s be fair. There are plenty of Republicans who are convinced that arguing on Facebook is a blow for freedom. Well, okay, so maybe it is, a little, but really, do you think calling people names on social … Continue reading “America May be a Bit Crazy, But the Crazies Don’t Speak for America”

Kinda Wrong but Right

/ Being a commentator comes with the advantage that you don’t have to write a dissertation. The disadvantage is that you will have more than your fair share of foot in mouth disease. Be sure to keep those tootsies clean and have a lifetime subscription of Listerine. Haley’s campaign manager is criminally incompetent. She has zero shot of defeating Trump after a third place finish in Iowa and a poor second place in New Hampshire. What are they expecting going … Continue reading “Kinda Wrong but Right”
