Why do They Hate Trump?

Short answer: he has no leash. I don’t just mean that he can’t control himself on Twitter – which isn’t really true. He controls himself just fine. He just trolls the heck out of his opponents. Let’s face it. Donald Trump is no one’s idea of the Washingtonian presidential ideal. But it’s also no longer the Eighteenth Century, sad to say. Still, Trump’s public persona is brash and biting. It’s easy to see why he has detractors on that score. … Continue reading “Why do They Hate Trump?”

Mar-A-Largo Raid and Democrat Self Destruction

Congratulations, Democrats. You’ve taken a disastrous year and managed to make it worse. The average Democrat was already demoralized and disconnecting from your increasingly insane party. That alone pretty much ensured a massive loss in the upcoming midterms. Those who still identify as Independent are also less enthralled with the Democrats than ever before. I have been saying for a while now that the Democrat Party is heading for a total collapse. I’d already expected it to happen sometime after … Continue reading “Mar-A-Largo Raid and Democrat Self Destruction”

Sue Them! Declawing the Defamation Beast

Turning Point USA is in a fight with The View. Well, okay – who doesn’t have a bone to pick with Harpy Central? The show’s entire premise seems to be ‘see who we can tick off today’. They use slander, libel and defamation like rather blunt but effective instruments. It’s an all female train wreck of the week! I might be a bit biased. Seriously, The View gets in trouble for overstepping the bounds of decency and the law so … Continue reading “Sue Them! Declawing the Defamation Beast”

Winning Graciously

After the jumping up and down, fist bumping and squealing in delight, there comes that awkward moment of looking your losing opponent in their tear filled eyes. The poor heartbroken things are the same jerks that have been treating us like dirt literally for years. Wouldn’t a good fat lip go great with those tears? At the very least, they need their noses rubbed in it, right? One good snarky remark? Aww, come on, you’re not saying we should be … Continue reading “Winning Graciously”

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”

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?”

Primarily Primary

Tomorrow’s the big day here in Alabama. I’ve changed my mind about three times so far – today. I know who I’m NOT voting for, but that leaves me with a lot of untested candidates. Still, the GOP primary will likely decide most of the office holders for the next two years – this is the problem with one party states, the primary is more decisive than the general election – so I’ve got to do my due diligence and … Continue reading “Primarily Primary”

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”

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”
