Finally!


“President Trump is, of course, cooperating mightily with the effort to make him the villain of the piece — his low character, tough-guy strutting, and habitual Twitter buffoonery all go a long way toward that. The Democrats are lucky to have him as a foil. Otherwise, they might be made to really seriously answer some uncomfortable questions, such as: Who has been in charge in Minneapolis lo these many years? Philadelphia? Chicago? Detroit? Los Angeles? Cleveland? Dallas? To the extent that governance matters, how is it that the situations in these communities is to be understood as anything other than the result of practically exclusive Democratic political power? And if Democratic political power is insufficient to turn things around in these places, then why is the answer to the current crisis more Democratic political power?“

Was Romney Actually Working for Trump?


When Mitt Romney announced that he was going to vote guilty, he provided all the cover any wavering Dems needed in order to be, well… Dems. Now, they can pretend that the impeachment voting was “bipartisan.”

 

However, the once wavering Dems now have to face their voters. And there’s a very good possibility that Doug Jones of Alabama just signed his own political death warrant.

Another Observation…


Let’s face it: the so-called “impeachment” has at least the following component: the desire to be able to refer to Trump as “disgraced President Trump,” and “the disgraced President.” You’ll see that, from now on, this word will make its way frequently into Democrat/Socialist campaign speeches. This is further proof that the Left has long been reduced to silly word games to try to bamboozle the American people.

Wake Up! The Left is to Blame for the Current Toxic Political Climate


The Left is so thoroughly unaccustomed to having someone practice the Reverse Golden Rule on them (our coinage: do unto them as they have done unto you — but a lot harder!) that they have no idea how to react to it. They simply go into frenzy mode and do and say the same stupid things over and over and over again — only louder and more frenziedly. What was that famous pop-psychology definition of “crazy” again?

This Struck Me…


“Consuming many media sources, learning to think critically, then combining numerous media sources with finely-honed critical thinking, to become ACTUALLY informed,” is a nice summary of “The Basic Responsibility of All American Citizens.” If all American citizens were to take this responsibility seriously, the Democrat Party’s electoral viability would evaporate overnight.

The Left is in END-GAME Mode


This “End-Game Mode” means that all future Republican nominees to any high office in the land will face SOMEONE with undisprovable accusations of something grotesque long ago. Frankly, it would have been a SHOCK if there had NOT been a parade of unprovable and unDISprovable accusations against Brett Kavanaugh, and amplified by the press, as soon as he was nominated for a Supreme Court seat.  Continue reading The Left is in END-GAME Mode

Why The Right Always Wins Arguments With The Left


Leftist ideas are old, fat, flaccid, weak, feeble. It’s because those ideas go unchallenged in all the places where they should be most vigorously challenged: academia, the press, Hollywood, pop culture. While Conservative ideas are attacked from all those same angles, as well as from others, as soon as they emerge. The result: we on the Right are constantly honing, and adjusting, and re-adjusting, and adding and discarding, testing, testing and re-testing, until we have something that’s coherent and makes sense. We actually like to test out ideas, because we love the challenge of actually solving problems. The Left wants power.   Continue reading Why The Right Always Wins Arguments With The Left

Leftists Have No Right to Say Anything in This “MeToo” Moment. They Should… Shut Up.


Only Republicans and Conservatives have any right whatsoever to speak out on the topic of  treating women with respect… or not. The Left showed what they thought about “sexual harassment” when their TOP DAWGS — Bill Clinton and Harvey Weinstein — spent all their public lives pulling out all the sexual harassment stops, including obvious abuse of women, as well as credible reports of ACTUAL rape. And the Left let them get away with it… FOR DECADES. Continue reading Leftists Have No Right to Say Anything in This “MeToo” Moment. They Should… Shut Up.

Explaining the Relationship Between Trump and the Political Right — Simply


We view things and people on a continuum that stretches from REALLY bad (-10) to REALLY good (+10), and all points in-between. And THAT is the secret to the relationship between Donald Trump and us on the political Right. In the election of November, 2016, we had the choice between a minus SEVEN and a minus FOUR, and a lot of us — including me — voted for the less awful. It was the right thing to do, but almost none of us liked it. Not one bit. Continue reading Explaining the Relationship Between Trump and the Political Right — Simply

Just Sayin’ (Part II)


Here’s something you should remember, as you hear Democrat after Democrat pontificating on the “horrors” of sexual harassment, and implying that HE’d or SHE’d NEVER… They’re probably coming from some place where they’ve just done it, and they’re PRAYING that they don’t get caught. For Democrats, there are five words that cause them cold, heart-stopping terror: “A woman has come forward.” Continue reading Just Sayin’ (Part II)

A Big Explanation for the Behavior of the Left and the Right (Part II)


Republicans and Conservatives are ACTUALLY better people. One important result of the massively unequal coverage by the media of the two major political tendencies and parties, is that the Democrat Party ACTUALLY ATTRACTS… bad people. People who know they can get away with indulging their appetite for power, money, fame and, of course… SEX. Continue reading A Big Explanation for the Behavior of the Left and the Right (Part II)

Roy Moore — Facts, Questions, A Modest Proposal, and a Final Very Important Point


It would have been a shock if there had NOT been a parade of unprovable, and unDISprovable, accusations leveled against him, and amplified by the press, as soon as he won the primary for the Alabama Senate seat. Skepticism about the charges against Roy Moore is not only rational and intelligent, it’s the RIGHT state-of mind. I remember thinking, at the news of Moore’s triumph in the Alabama Senate primary: “I wonder what dirty tricks the Democrats will do to get this Senate seat.” Continue reading Roy Moore — Facts, Questions, A Modest Proposal, and a Final Very Important Point

Republicans: Stop Flaking Out!


Let’s face it: Trump merely says what the Democrats are always thinking anyway! At some point, we Republicans and Conservatives were going to have to stop being such patsies all the time. We should have done it a long time ago, and we should have done it with a better, smoother, more articulate spokesdude than Trump. But for now, Trump can deliver some MAJOR POSITIVES for us Conservatives and for America. Furthermore, for a very long time, we on the Right have needed to do something to counter the guns that the Left keeps bringing to the nice, polite, genteel knife-fights we keep inviting them to.

Yet Another Masterful Column from Jonah Goldberg — and Some Discussion


I’m not sure that the Trump Presidency is worse than what, with another Republican, likely would have been just an interregnum between the Obama Presidency and the next horror-show Democrat President. Furthermore, don’t forget: lovable, corrupt, witless old Bernie Sanders made it okay to call oneself a Socialist again. That means that the Democrat Party field for President in upcoming primaries will no longer, for the foreseeable future, be lacking an avowedly Socialist candidate for the Presidency. Great. –>    Continue reading Yet Another Masterful Column from Jonah Goldberg — and Some Discussion

I Feel Trump’s Pain


The Left USED to fight dirty… but now that we on the Right have ways to push back, the Left make dirty fighting look like a tennis match between well-dressed gentlemen 100 years ago. And the crap tsunami directed at Trump is just more of this new ultra-dirty fighting that the Left have embraced to such violent effect all over America. It’s what they’ve been doing rhetorically for a long time now to all Conservatives, as well as to me and to my colleagues here in our small but increasingly influential think tank. It’s because they don’t have anything substantive to say or do… but they still want power. It’s all the Left ever want. Continue reading I Feel Trump’s Pain

Do You Realize…


If you want to see where the world will end up, look to the thinking of the political right-wing in America today. If “evolution” is a thing, then the world will evolve toward the most advanced thinking there is. That’s, let’s face it, obviously on the political Right. The only question is when will the rest of the world understand this? Continue reading Do You Realize…

Black Lives Matter? Yep. White Lives Don’t.


Don’t believe me? Go to a Black Lives Matter rally, and try to suggest to someone there that, say, all lives matter. Shouldn’t be controversial, right? However, the snarling, sneering, violent hostility that you’ll encounter in reaction to that brief, unsubtly obvious assertion will rock you back on your heels. All the leading candidates for the Democrat Party Presidential nomination agreed — either reluctantly or enthusiastically — that one shouldn’t say, “All lives matter.” In other words, one of America’s two major political parties does not endorse the notion that “all American lives matter.” Continue reading Black Lives Matter? Yep. White Lives Don’t.
