Today, on your Morning Update, the mental health crisis is real, as is the cure. The problem, particularly for liberal women, isn’t what you think. It’s the democrat Party and a progressive culture that forces you to live every day in a world of perceived threats, injustice, anxiety, and fear. 00:00 The Unhappiness of Liberal … Read more
I was invited to attend the Rockingham County Republican Committee Freedom Founders Breakfast. I went. It was good to see some folks I’ve not run into in a very long time. It was also refreshing, though not unexpected, to watch a four-panel Q&A representing four factions within the Republican Party. Libertarian, Establishment, Centrist, and MAGA. … Read more
The progressive establishment in the United States maintains a transactional syndicate with radical Islamist factions to lock down institutional power. This structural cartel sacrifices Western secular principles, democratic consistency, and basic human rights on the altar of raw electoral survival. The political left and Islamist organizers operate a highly coordinated machine built on mutual opportunism. … Read more
Karmelo Anthony admitted to stabbing Austin Metcalf to death (“I’m not alleged; I did it”), and people are outraged that he’s going to jail for that. The self-defense “defense” didn’t hold up. Death by stabbing after being pushed is considered excessive use of force. As in, couldn’t you have stabbed him someplace else? Or, how … Read more
The “wolf, sheep, and sheepdog” analogy was popularized by military psychologist Lt. Col. Dave Grossman in his book “On Combat” and was brought to the mainstream in the film “American Sniper.” The concept divides the human population into three distinct archetypes based on their relationship to violence and their capacity to act as protectors. The … Read more
Both Vermont’s Senate President Pro-Tem Philip Baruth (D/P-Chittenden) and Speaker of the House Jill Krowinski (D-Burlington), the top leaders in the state legislature, announced that they will be retiring after sixteen and fourteen years, respectively. And, not to put too fine a point on it, they, and more importantly the entire clown car they’ve been … Read more
After 12 years of dissecting Donald Trump’s character every day and his being unsuitable for office, every one of these same politicians is coming to the defense of Graham Platner, who is a candidate for the U.S. Senate representing Maine. There has been a constant drip of issues in Platner’s past that may disqualify him … Read more
Why the Liberal Left Is Closer to Fascism Than Trump or MAGA Ever Was or Will Be History Makes the Pattern Plain: Why the Modern Left’s Authoritarian Leanings Echo the Past More Than the Right’s. We’ve all heard the endless claim that Donald Trump, MAGA, and the conservative base supporting this administration are “fascists,” “far-right,” … Read more
The handmaiden media doesn’t want you to know this. The Democrats have a massive enthusiasm gap compared to Republicans. The media won’t air any of the Left’s laundry, but there’s a lot of it, and it’s dirty. Based on the most recent FEC filings, Republicans and allies have raised an historic $939 million ahead of … Read more
The list of things you could ask your local, state, or federal Democrat creature of the night is long, and they won’t answer them anyway. So, you support neutering children? I believe strongly in civil rights for all, bullshitbullshitbullshit, next question. Nor will I promise to be the source of such questions, though I would … Read more
I’m not sure we can call this FAFO. It’s more like discovering that the inseparable thing you have loved and promoted would have absolutely no problem “killing” you. And there’s really no excuse. Plenty of people, experts, institutions, and even political leaders warned you. Don’t feed that thing, or it will eat you alive once … Read more
How funny is this? For more than a decade, your Congress has been flirting with the idea of adding a Women’s History Museum to the Smithsonian. Right before the COVID experience was thrust upon us, Congress actually passed the Smithsonian Women’s History Museum Act. “The bill cites the under-representation of women in historical accounts, monuments, … Read more
Today, on this special Saturday edition of the Morning Update, the redistricting narrative war just took an amusing turn. All that crying about black representation, discrimination, marginalization, voting rights, and Jim Crow 2.0 just died on the altar of the blind pursuit of left-wing political power. I just had to take a few minutes to … Read more
Segregation is illegal. In every shape, form, phase, version, and even perception. The ‘State’ cannot isolate people by any demographic characteristic. Except for voting. Well, not anymore. The US Supreme Court ruled that segregation in congressional districts is segregation and discrimination and violates federal law. Democrats, who have been segregating longer than any other recognizable … Read more
It is laughable to see any member of Congress telling a reporter that there should be a Code of Ethics established for Supreme Court justices. When those comments come from the likes of Representative Jayapal (D-WA), you have to think we have reached the limits of hypocrisy, especially since Congress members often oppose their own … Read more
Tales abound of normal people fleeing blue states to escape a laundry list of ills. Taxes, illegals, crime, homelessness, drugs, gangs, taxes, regulations, fraud, democrats, taxes, did I miss any? I did. All that COVID crap they pulled moved a small mountain of people, belongings, and U-Hauls from Blue States to Red States. But you … Read more
If you haven’t seen the 1991 Steve Martin film, LA Story, this isn’t about that, so no need for spoiler alerts. Amusing film, though, and worth a watch; it makes fun of 1990s LA, which is to say it makes fun of LA, and there isn’t enough of that, so here’s some more. It starts … Read more
The Dems’ establishment meat puppet to replace the retiring meat puppet (Jeanne Shaheen) is Chris Sock-Puppet Pappas. If elected, he will resume the pointless exercise of serving as one of Washington, DC’s ambassadors to New Hampshire. Another Democrat, “from” a region of the nation with plenty of Republicans but none in Congress. Sock Puppet Pappas … Read more
The DC Sound Machine has coughed up yet another hairball. Apparently, former President Obama makes a trip inside the beltway each week to give marching orders to Democrats. Not a surprise. We knew Obama people were herded in to surround Braindead Joe Biden. That Obama, or at least those Obama-adjacent, were responsible for most if … Read more
Ward Clark, writing at Red State, reminds us that “The primary purpose of government is to protect the liberty and property of the citizens.” If you asked 100 randos on any American street corner how many would even come close to that? Depends on the street corner, I suppose, but the closer you get to … Read more
