The Democrat Party is a wet hot mess, again

Rise of the Progressives Not for the first time, the Democrat party appears to be splintering along factional lines. It has a long history of this actually. In 1860, anti-slavery Northern Democrats and pro-slavery Southern Democrats split at their convention and each nominated a candidate for President with the Southerners favoring John Breckenridge and the […]

Attorney General William Barr, probably the most dangerous man in DC

An Equal Opportunity Piss-er Off-er Attorney General William Barr may be the most dangerous man in Washington DC right now. Within a week he managed to get both Republicans and Democrats to break out the pitchforks and torches and call for his head. First, Barr took issue with the sentencing of Roger Stone and intervened […]

Trump’s huge budget means huge deficits

Dead On Arrival The President has proposed a budget for 2021 as is his duty, but don’t expect it to pass unscathed. The Left is already pronouncing it “DOA” and there is enough in the proposal to make just about everybody mad at him. The fundamental flaw, which stands out immediately, is that it requires […]

The aftermath of the impeachment trial

After the impeachment of President Clinton ended in February 1999 with an acquittal, he appeared before the cameras to make an act of contrition: “I want to say again to the American People how profoundly sorry I am for what I said and did to trigger these events, and the great burden these have imposed […]

In defense of Roger Stone

Defending the Indefensible I hate having to defend Roger Stone, but I have to. Sometimes you have to defend the seemingly indefensible for a good reason. Recently, four federal prosecutors resigned after the Department of Justice overrode their filed sentencing recommendation for the sentencing phase of Roger Stone’s trial. For those unacquainted with Mr. Stone, […]

Lieutenant Colonel Alexander Vindman: From zero to hero and back again

From Zero to Hero It wasn’t too long ago that the President’s foes, broadly known as “The Resistance” were saying that anyone serving on Trump’s White House staff are traitors.  Try not to be surprised that the Resistance is now outraged that the President dismissed two Army Colonels on detail to the White House NSC […]

American warfighters keep dying in Afghanistan, what do politicians say?

In light of the recent Green-on-Blue attack in Nangarhar Province Afghanistan which claimed the lives of two Special Forces members and wounded several more, it may surprise you to know that both the President and the Democrats seeking their party’s nomination in the upcoming November elections all seem to be in rhetorical agreement. The U.S. […]

The Iowa Caucus: Democratic Party’s mobile app backfires

Elections can be messy things, but at the heart of them is a simple count of the votes cast: one plus one, equals two.  Very simple math done by simple folks just trying to sort out who won. In Iowa, the Democratic Paty hired a third party software company called “Shadow Inc” to create a […]

It pays to be an autocracy: Why China can better deal with the Coronavirus

Authoritarian countries like China have an advantage in controlling the spread of outbreaks like the Coronavirus, but the West has the advantage in preventing them from even happening. Not that it shows. Images coming out of China, despite the Communist regime’s best propaganda efforts, show the police arresting people on the streets for not wearing […]

Op-Ed: Are we a divided society?

Canings, Stabbings, and Shootings Whig party member John Giddings of Ohio wanted to include into the Congressional Record his opposition to certain slavery measures; doing so would put him up against a Gag Rule passed by House Democrats from the South. They had tired of the anti-slavery harangues of the Whig party.  Edward Black of […]

Opinion: Gillette and the best scoldings a man can get

The other day Gillette decided to get ‘woke’ and hop on the social justice parade float. It was first noticed by many on Twitter following an obligatory hashtag campaign. “Boys will be boys?” Isn’t it time we stopped excusing bad behavior? Re-think and take action by joining us at http://TheBestMenCanBe.org . #TheBestMenCanBe The tweet showcased a […]

Continued: The Greek tragedy of social media

Please read the first part here. I would assert that while no country would want to repeat the mistakes of ancient Greek democracy, we’ve nevertheless seen it reappear on social media platforms like Twitter and Facebook. And the same perverse outcomes and injustices have been the result. Since 2012 Twitter has suspended a variety of […]
