The Left After Wokeness

Sigh, unfortunately, it’s not likely to go peacefully into that good night. Or even just get off the stage. The inmates are running the asylum on the left and the Republican leadership has let them take this country along for the ride. That is about to come to a screeching halt as there won’t be another chance to interfere in the elections like in 2020. The midterms are promising to be a bloodbath for the Democrats. They have already seriously … Continue reading “The Left After Wokeness”

Making America Better One Conversation at a Time

Conservatives are well aware of the concerted effort to silence dissent being made across social media and the mainstream media. Ever wonder why? Surely sharing some stupid post with a few friends, most of whom won’t even click the link, can’t make a difference, right? Wrong. Our abbreviated history lessons leave us with the impression that important stuff happens fast – which is almost never true. From the first stirrings of discontent to the first shot of the American Revolution … Continue reading “Making America Better One Conversation at a Time”

The Midterms are the Beginning

Americans are way too used to the idea that government can be put on autopilot. More like cruise control where you glance at your speed now and again to make sure it’s working right but otherwise ignore the speedometer. We show up on election day, vote for our party or whatever names we fancy, and go home and forget the whole thing for another two years. Civic duty done, right? Yeah, no. That’s just punching the time clock – the … Continue reading “The Midterms are the Beginning”

What Do We Do Once We Win?

Any other time I would still be telling you it’s much too early to call the general election. Any other time, a centrist nation doesn’t take a lot to shove things in a different direction so six months out is an eternity. Not this time. A war, C19 redux, and Republican division – ordinarily, any one of these would be enough to buy the Democrats support. The war especially should normally benefit the party in power. But none of that … Continue reading “What Do We Do Once We Win?”

Don’t Sabotage Yourselves, Conservatives

The principle holds for the individual as well as the nation-state – you have plenty of real obstacles in life, don’t be one. Now, this bit is controversial and the snowflakes may need to evacuate to their safety rooms now. Steel yourself. Get ready. Here goes: People aren’t perfect. Because people aren’t perfect your side/party/group/political position will also not be perfect. Governments won’t be perfect. Nation-states, even ones we dearly love, will not be perfect. Get over it. The other … Continue reading “Don’t Sabotage Yourselves, Conservatives”

Get Woke, Go Broke – Running a Political Party by Catering to the Mentally Ill

The Democrats are stuck. They spent more than thirty years and billions of tax dollars establishing that homosexuality was perfectly normal and that only the evil and backward would think differently in the face of Enlightened ScienceTM . Saint Obama granted their dearest wish (not really but kinda*) and sanctified Gay Marriage throughout the land. Yay, milk and cookies for everyone. Small problem, the Democrats have a very big tent full of very, very incompatible groups. Many of those were … Continue reading “Get Woke, Go Broke – Running a Political Party by Catering to the Mentally Ill”

Neo-Nationalist

The biggest problem with politics is that labels generally have three to five meanings at any given time. Seriously, if you are writing a professional political science paper the very first thing you do is define your terms. Not esoteric stuff no one has ever heard of – the regular things like conservative, liberal, libertarian, globalist, nationalist – et al. The reason is simple – people are way too lazy to think up new words for slightly different things and … Continue reading “Neo-Nationalist”

The Bloody Flag

As of today, May 5th, 2022, it is not certain that the Supreme Court will in fact overturn Roe V Wade. That said, the released draft creates pressure on the Court. Activists will try to pressure the Court into reversing course and leaving Roe intact. But the surge of conservativism and populism in the US and even the world creates a pressure of its own for the Court to follow through with its apparent intentions and overturn Roe. Roe is … Continue reading “The Bloody Flag”

Democrat Party Collapse – What Will it Mean for Both Parties?

Amid the terror filled hype of impending civil war, WW3, climate doomsday, economic takeover by our new Chinese overlords, omnipresent racism that we can’t actually define, the Biblical level plague of C19 and, of course, the return of Trump, we hear the loudest screams of all coming from the ‘never let a good crisis go to waste’ Democrats as they face the ultimate end of the world – being voted out of power. Oh, the horror. Most of the over … Continue reading “Democrat Party Collapse – What Will it Mean for Both Parties?”
