American Polarization is a Myth

I know, I know, the polls say otherwise. The polls are crap and have been for years. Just how many times do they have to get the easy things like elections wrong before you stop treating them as gospel? Yes, elections are easy. If you sample enough and correctly, more often than not you should correctly predict election outcomes. Once in a while it’ll go sideways but 99% of the time the polls will be close enough as to make … Continue reading “American Polarization is a Myth”

Make Sure it’s Dead, Jim!

Phasers on maximum! The problem we have as Americans is that we expect automation to work even when we apply the concept to things that shouldn’t be automated. Hint: self driving cars are not a great plan. Drone cars, however… Governing our overgrown, sassy and fat government is another of those things we shouldn’t automate but, boy, howdy, do we ever try! If the choice is Twitter or actually reading a whole newspaper article, well, half of you couldn’t find … Continue reading “Make Sure it’s Dead, Jim!”

Affirmative Reaction

WOO HOO!!!!! On June 29, 2023 in STUDENTS FOR FAIR ADMISSIONS, INC. v. PRESIDENT AND FELLOWS OF HARVARD COLLEGE the United States Supreme Court reset the game. The United States has changed. Affirmative Action has suffered a death blow. The country will never be the same. It will be better. Yes, I’m well aware the Court didn’t strike Affirmative Action down completely and there is much left to fight. But the monster’s legs have been cut out from beneath it. … Continue reading “Affirmative Reaction”

Can Anheuser Busch go Broke?

Yes. Oh come on, this one is obvious! Okay, okay, so why do you think that a company can’t go broke? Too big to fail is a myth. Try again. Only 25% of their sales were lost is better, but how healthy were their finances beforehand? Expenses are a thing for any business and a lot of very large businesses are floating up to their eyeballs in debt. It doesn’t take much of a loss in sales to sink a … Continue reading “Can Anheuser Busch go Broke?”

Deep State and Cancel Culture: Is a Day of Reckoning Coming?

Yes, what a silly question. You want details again, don’t you? One of the most common and stupidest arguments commonly made for the NarrativeTM is that the public is some amorphous giant imbecile that can’t really handle the TruthTM. I swear, I think Washington gets Hollywood’s rejects to do their writing sometimes. Regardless, it’s moronic. I can prove it. You, yes you, You know who you are, reading, listening or watching this commentary. If I told you that there was … Continue reading “Deep State and Cancel Culture: Is a Day of Reckoning Coming?”

DeSantis Loses Launch; Huge Supreme Court Win for Americans

Ron DeSantis has launched his presidential bid to much laughter and derision. Seriously, Twitter? Rumble could actually manage such a huge stream but Twitter? Evidently, not. I’ve heard nothing good about the production or the optics. A DeSantis run is ill advised at best and he managed to face plant straight out of the gate. So far so bad. Trump is already on the attack. I’m anything but surprised. Trump plans to win. DeSantis doesn’t seem to have much of … Continue reading “DeSantis Loses Launch; Huge Supreme Court Win for Americans”

Return to Greatness: Justice Edition

There’s no going back to what was. That doesn’t mean we can’t go forward to what can be. In my opinion, America has never ceased to be great. She’s always been and always will be imperfect. But there’s only one nation on Earth that all others immediately look to in time of need. America. Greatness is best defined by how the weakest are treated. America needs some work but slavery days are long behind us. Jim Crow is only barely … Continue reading “Return to Greatness: Justice Edition”

Dear Ron, Don’t Run

Good grief, who did DeSantis hire? His advisers are idiots if they think a 2024 run does anything but damage DeSantis’ 2028 chances. Was Hillary’s campaign advisor willing to work for peanuts or something? If so, he’s still overpaid. Dude, get real. Democrats would love for you to run – as a spoiler. You do have potential to do that much. You don’t have the moxie – yet – to take the nomination from Trump. Trump supporters as well as … Continue reading “Dear Ron, Don’t Run”

RINOs for Anheuser-Busch

Monday is normally foreign policy day at Quill Sword but we’re making kind of an exception today. Here’s the thing: the US is beyond the pale powerful and how well we govern our government directly impacts not just foreign relations but the daily lives of people around the world. It’s a huge responsibility and a civic duty. No one ever thinks their congressman is one of the bad ones. Half the time that’s true of the people who voted for … Continue reading “RINOs for Anheuser-Busch”

Is America an Oligarchy and Does Tucker Carlson’s Ouster Prove it?

Heck no and no. Good grief, what are they teaching in schools these days? I don’t normally do this kind of immediate reaction to events but I’m going to make an exception today. Dr. Steve Turley brought up a study on one of his videos today that I’m going to take major issue with that relates to the Tucker Carlson ouster. I like Dr. Steve despite his being pretty stuck on the whole ‘civilization state’ idea that I find absurd … Continue reading “Is America an Oligarchy and Does Tucker Carlson’s Ouster Prove it?”
