The Democrats have been filing their nails and sharpening their tongues to attack the credibility and character of every Trump nominee who has to run the gauntlet of a Senate Hearing. I watched Elizabeth “Pocahontas” Warren harass Robert Kennedy Jr. with her hair and fingers shaking in faux anger. It was not questioning. It was … Read more
The denizens of the Federal Government, all two million plus, continue complaining, kvetching, and crying as Trump introduces them to a feature that MANY of us out here in the private sector have endured for decades: layoffs, firings, company/corporate bankruptcies, and now, buyouts. In the last case, you get the option to resign, and we … Read more
In a not-so-strange coincidence, the amount of outrage, sorry, I mean objection directed at Robert F. Kennedy Jr. at his confirmation hearing can be tied to the amount of money the concerned “watchdog” Senator has received from … Big Pharma. A clip of New Hampshire’s own Margaret Wood Hassan made the rounds on X with … Read more
So many orders and so little time, which makes the Handmaiden media and Democrats cranky. How do we target, isolate, and attack a thing when hundreds of them come at us every day? Don’t worry, they’ll work it out, and while we wait, they can keep shouting Nazi and Fascist as if that’s not more … Read more
Elbridge Gerry opposed the ratification of the Constitution, believing it consolidated power, lacked safeguards for individual liberties, and undermined the reserved powers of the states. He maintained his objections throughout the ratification process, despite fierce opposition that sometimes turned personal. As one of the most active delegates at the Philadelphia Convention, Gerry repeatedly sought to … Read more
“I glory in publicly avowing my eternal enmity to tyranny.” On January 23, 1737, one of America’s most important yet often overlooked revolutionaries was born: John Hancock. Though he is widely recognized today for his iconic signature on the Declaration of Independence, Hancock’s contributions to the American Revolution and the founding of the United States … Read more
The rules on these pages are simple. It’s a private space. You comment at our pleasure, but we enjoy the debate, so the threshold is set high. Direct or implied threats of harm to any individual or group will get you tossed, as will verbal abuse of other commenters and spam. Until last Saturday, we … Read more
Walter Kennedy’s outstanding new book is much more than a defense of Robert E. Lee from the charge of treason, though it is certainly that. Kennedy offers us a careful analysis of the nature of the union of states established by the Constitution, in the course of which he argues that Abraham Lincoln—far from being … Read more
What comes first? The chicken, the egg, or Democrats blaming President Donald Trump for something completely out of his control? As a flu strain spreads through America’s egg-laying birds, a disease expert has a perfect parallel to Democrats’ latest theory on President Donald Trump and why he’s responsible for soaring egg prices. Egg prices have … Read more
One thing we will need to get used to in Trump’s second term is irrational retorts to Trump’s actions or orders. It is in the Left’s DNA to lash out and criticize anything done by Trump or nominated by Trump before the situation is examined for facts and impact. Jessica Tarlov used the expense argument … Read more
It is getting old and insulting for folks like Joy Reid to continue to call President Donald Trump Hitler or a Nazi and to lump all of his supporters into that same basket. I am not going to name the ignorant talking heads at MSNBC or CNN that are referring to ICE activities as Gestapo-like … Read more
Peace, freedom, the 10th Amendment, and the elimination of taxes: These are just a few of the principles Thomas Jefferson outlined in his first inaugural address. They weren’t mere policy suggestions, they represent timeless and revolutionary declarations against the status quo of government power and control. Delivered on March 4, 1801, Jefferson’s first inaugural address remains a … Read more
We, the undersigned American farmers and ranchers, proudly offer our full support and endorsement of Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. for confirmation as the next U.S. Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). President Trump has made it clear, he wants RFK Jr. at the helm of HHS to Make America Healthy Again … Read more
I have nothing against labor-saving devices. However, I don’t include “thinking” as labor that should be saved. Back in the ‘70s, pocket calculators were a new thing. Everybody got one. And then we raised a generation of children who could not add 2 and 2 without a calculator. There is a world of difference between … Read more
The machine that turns the fruits of your great-grandchildren’s yet-unearned income into grift (plus interest) for the deep state machine got some bad news. The new Sheriff wants to put a hold on things just in case the previous “sheriff” was a bit too fast and loose with those future “earnings.” As in, 36 Trillion … Read more
Two weeks ago, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced changes to Facebook and Instagram’s content moderation policies in order to return these platforms to their “roots around free expression.” Meta will eliminate restrictions on debate around controversial topics like immigration and gender identity, dramatically reduce the use of automatic moderation, and replace fact-checkers with Community Notes. These are … Read more
President Donald Trump now has a second opportunity to free the U.S. energy industry from unnecessary and expensive regulations, including oppressive, senseless caps that jeopardize our energy independence and give advantage to foreign markets. Change is much needed, especially since Joe Biden has overturned three-quarters of Trump’s deregulatory actions that prioritized American energy independence and natural resources. … Read more
I’ve seen a few things in the tidal wave of executive orders that make me twitch. I need to fisk them before I say too much more. But for the most part, I’m not complaining, though I reserve the individual right to scratch those itches. I suspect there are a few things that deserve more … Read more
As President Donald Trump steps into his second term, he calls for a renaissance in America and proclaims the beginning of a “Golden Age.” This bold vision marks a significant shift in the nation’s political and economic landscape, promising revitalization, prosperity, and renewed national pride. In his inaugural speech, Trump outlined a vision for America’s … Read more
Why has the United States’ government become so politically dysfunctional? How can it be that the nation—partially founded on John Locke’s principles of liberty and Montesquieu’s concept of separation of powers—today has such a corrupt and oligarchic federal government? As the young political union that it was in 1781, based on the Articles of Confederation, the United States was unique. Unlike the nation-states of the … Read more
