We would all be in a better place if we never knew the names of Laken Riley and Jose Ibarra. The parents of Laken Riley would not have a massive hole in their hearts and would have a daughter to wrap their arms around if we never knew the name of Jose Ibarra. Unfortunately, on … Read more
I’m someone who sometimes thinks “outside the box,” to use that timeworn cliché. For example, as a state representative I’ve submitted bills reflecting new ideas. Some made it through. Many did not. It’s not easy to pass a law—nor should it be. And there is a natural, inherent resistance to new ideas. Christopher Columbus: “The … Read more
The crazy nonsense in Pennsylvania has come to halt: Democrat Bob Casey has conceeded to Republican Dave McCormick. “I just called Dave McCormick to congratulate him on his election to represent Pennsylvania in the United States Senate. As the first count of ballots is completed, Pennsylvanians can move forward with the knowledge that their voices … Read more
Pre-Election day, the usual suspects couldn’t stop telling us how a Trump presidency would KILL WOMEN. Women would die. Not women like Laken Riley; that’s different. We’re talking about women dying! DYING!!! Record numbers of women voted for Trump anyway. He gained ground in every category, especially white women whom Democrats are, post-election, are doing … Read more
How long ago was it that the Leftists were confidently articulating their plans to reshape America? They were forcing aggressive policy change, dismantling the filibuster. Now the tune is changing. The Left is all about bipartisanship. Before the election it was all power, all the time. The Leftists hate America, her constitution and the rule … Read more
Matt Gaetz has withdrawn from the nomination to be Trump’s next Attorney General after almost everyone, but a few, made it clear they couldn’t vote to confirm him. I honestly thought this was a trick play a few days in and Gaetz was never the guy, especially after Trump named Rubio for Secretary of State. … Read more
The weaponization of the government has probably been an issue for decades, but it rose to the surface with the Obama administration and the IRS. How can we forget Lois Lerner trying in vain to convince anyone who would listen that she was innocent of targeting any Right-wing group she could with investigations and unreasonable … Read more
On this very terrain, four years ago, I asserted that we can “never again” allow an election like 2020 to happen. I’m back to say that despite Trump’s near landslide, America’s election system is still broken. And the time to fix it is immediately, while President Trump has the wind at his back with a … Read more
Republican South Dakota Sen. John Thune was elected Senate Majority Leader on Wednesday. While he appears to have agreed to work with President-elect Donald Trump to confirm his political and judicial nominations and further his agenda, the story is far from over. The reality is that inside the Republican Party, there is a war brewing, … Read more
Considering how much money was apparently spent by the Democrats trying to sink the Trump campaign recently, much of which seemingly went to various and sundry “celebrities,” such as Al Sharpton, Oprah Winfrey (who claims it went to her production company, not to her), Traylor Not-So-Swift, etc., I feel compelled to repeat what I wrote … Read more
Frenzied speculations about Donald Trump’s various Cabinet appointees have extended to the next head of the USDA, to replace the controversial Tom Vilsack, AKA “Mr. Monsanto.” At least fifteen potential nominees are currently the subject of appointee chatter in blogs and headlines, but one stands out as a peculiar outsider-in-chief: Kentucky congressman Thomas Massie. Congressman Massie … Read more
I was shocked to hear this morning that President-Elect Donald Trump had invited Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski of Morning Joe to meet face-to-face with him at Mar-A-Lago last Friday. This was the first time the three had met in seven years, but to listen to Mika as she and Joe opened their show on … Read more
The Democrats have a lot of problems… with Democrats. The genuinely bizarre factions in their party -those America rejected – demand they be “seen” but that’s bad if you want to win majorities. And pretending you will no longer appease them may not carry much weight (ask Kamala). It is such a conundrum that the … Read more
Everyone is fretting about the cast of characters Donald Trump is nominating to help him Make America Great Again. Great, and a bit lighter, thinner, leaner, and (hopefully) Less expensive. All of that is what has the blob and it’s minions in a tizzy. They like their fat and the influence that follows, so any … Read more
If you cannot beat Trump, then go after his appointments and nominees. Trump won the Electoral College, the Popular Vote, and both wings of Congress, but that is not enough for the opposition to gracefully accept the people Trump wants on his staff. There is virtually no person Trump has named for a post that … Read more
As Dem Senator Bob Casey Fans look for a way to turn his loss on November 5th into a win, the State’s highest Court has re-issued a previous order. You cannot count undated absentee ballots. The Pennsylvania Supreme Court has ordered counties within the state not to count undated mail-in ballots after multiple counties said … Read more
You can’t comply your way out of tyranny. This principle – central to the American Revolution – has been almost totally forgotten and ignored. And it was also forcefully repeated and reiterated a century later by Lysander Spooner. The following are the top quotes and principles that make up this essential foundation. VOID To start, … Read more
Monday Monday, can’t trust that day! Last week’s Friday Edition. Remember, ridicule and mockery are effective weapons: 1. Ridicule cannot easily be fought 2. Ridicule makes the enemy angry, and angry people make mistakes 3. For those in the “squishy middle” a Thought Splinter (and Part II and Part III and Part IV) can often be hidden inside humor. Now, … Read more
As we get to know Trump’s personnel choices, I’m enthused that Biden’s tendency to pick One Of Those is replaced by picking people who understand problems and do not accept that the existing bureaucracy is the solution. However, the very-high-profile Department Of Government Efficiency is a big-name Grace Commission with no actual power to terminate … Read more
Joe Biden has never been happier, which makes you wonder if he and Doc Jill voted for Trump. It could happen. The Obamas and Bidens hate each other. The Clintons and Obamas hate each other. The Biden’s hate Kamala, and I suspect the feelings are mutual – no one really likes Kamala. No one really … Read more
