Those words capture the sentiment of a cautious Ben Franklin when asked about the type of government that had just been created. His “a Republic if you can keep it” could now be a bit prophetic when considering the empty platitudes and aimless performances of the career politician. Sadly, their re-election results when these attitudes … Read more
Aside From Pissing Off Half His Base The strange, bizarre, complete 180 on the long-promised, pending revelations in the Epstein Files has a lot of people pissed off.

We have talked about and seen many examples of the Democrat hyperbole equating any cut in government spending to the deaths that will result. Cut funding for abortions, and thousands of young pregnant women will die. Yet when shelves of formula were empty in grocery and drug stores during Biden’s term, the sound you heard … Read more

The Federal Department of Education is finally getting a haircut. The 1400 workers it tried to let go can stay gone. If the streamlining goes as planned, the Department of Education may one day find itself able to achieve its statutory objectives with very few employees and at a fraction of its nearly $ 268 … Read more

I get it. Being bombastic, hyperbolic, and a bit edgy with the verbiage can be attractive to an audience overwhelmed with milqetoast political dumbfuckery. See what I did there? From Marjorie Taylor Greene to Jasmine Crockett, we’ve seen the rise of old-school political banter. It’s not uncivil, it was, in fact, common during the nation’s … Read more
…The Left, Crime, and Punishment Crime and Punishment. No, not the epic story by Fyodor Dostoyevsky, I’m thinking along parallel but different lines. Our protagonists, the Democrat party leadership, perpetuate evil and think themselves extraordinary, but they simultaneously serve as the antagonists in the stories of many others. The Dems and their narrative mules are … Read more
The Jeffrey Epstein Client List is a complex subject for me to write about because I am not sure which side of the scale I fall on. Do I need to know who the men were who ventured to Epstein’s Island to satisfy their warped fetish for young girls, or does it really matter in … Read more
Before you can have a flash flood, you’ll need to have a lot of rain, but would it surprise you to know that the latter does not predict more of the former? I was surprised, so it might shock, astound, and astonish the Chicken Little climate grifters exploiting the recent tragedy in Flash Flood Alley … Read more

Ozempic was developed initially (and FDA-approved in 2005) for the treatment of life-threatening diabetes. Wegovy was approved by the FDA on March 8, 2024, to treat obese or … Read more
The Big Beautiful Bill is no timid policy nudge — it’s a full-throttle revolution, slashing taxes, unshackling industry, and igniting the American dream with a fire that’ll burn for generations. This bill is a love letter to workers, farmers, and patriots. It’s Trump’s promise kept. This bill is a tax-cutting juggernaut that slashes rates for … Read more
If you are a registered Democrat, this ought to concern you. Your party’s “leaders,” elected officials, have been telling their people to start trouble for years. Stories about anti-globalist brick throwers in the 20th century are well known, and violence has always been an easy tool for the left to pick up. And with rare … Read more

If you have a drop of common sense, you already know the answer to why hiring managers might be less than enthusiastic about applicants who’ve recently graduated from college—more trouble than they are worth, even if they have a degree in something useful. The campus culture hasn’t just bilked them for a small fortune; it … Read more
From the deepest caverns of hell that are reserved for the worst scum to walk the earth, pedophile Jeffrey Epstein is reaching up and attempting to claim the first victim of the Trump Dream Team.
