The Ukrainian Debacle is the Trumpiest Scandal Ever

Let’s get this out of the way. OF COURSE, Donald Trump shouldn’t have asked the Ukraine to investigate his political opponent while holding up their aid. It was obviously wrong to do for the same reason it would have been improper for Barack Obama to lift sanctions on Iran in exchange for a Falafel chain […]

 

7 Reasons American Culture Has Become Toxic

Why Elizabeth Warren’s Wealth Tax Would Be Terrible For America

The Democrat front runner Elizabeth Warren has a lot of bad ideas. Fortunately, most of them, like decriminalizing crossing the border illegally or making assault rifles illegal will have legions of people who refute them. But, her wealth tax is a little different. After all, when you start talking about putting a 2% wealth tax […]

 

The Difficulty That Elizabeth Warren Would Have Beating Trump

Joe Biden has been the front runner in the Democratic primary from the time he got into the race until recently. However, Biden has always been gaffe-prone, has never inspired passion and doesn’t seem to have any message other than “vote for me because I am electable.” As the primary has gone on, the activist […]

 

Tell Greta Thunberg the Truth: Global Warming Isn’t Dangerous

The most noteworthy thing about the global warming “debate” these days is how little of it has anything to do with rationality or science. In that respect, Greta Thunberg is the perfect spokesperson for her side of the debate. She’s a 16-year-old girl with Asperger’s who is depressed, obsessive-compulsive and has selective mutism. Rather notably, […]

 

The Liberal Scheme To Get Rid Of The Electoral College Is Dangerous To Our Republic

From George Washington to Donald Trump, there have been 45 American presidents and out of all the elections they have participated in, there have only been five times where the popular vote did not agree with the electoral college. However, because two of those elections have occurred within the last 20 years (Trump vs. Clinton, […]

 

When they say ‘we’ are going to take your Ar-15s…who is ‘we,’ exactly?

When Beto O’Rourke ran for the Senate against Ted Cruz in 2018, he very explicitly said that he had no intentions of trying to grab anyone’s guns: “If you purchased that AR-15, if you own it, keep it. Continue to use it responsibly… If you own a gun, keep that gun. Nobody wants to take […]

 

20 Quotes about free speech and censorship that Liberals need to read

Liberals have fallen in love with the idea of censoring people they disagree with via shouting them down, political correctness, violently attacking them in the streets, or denying them a platform to speak. This is profoundly unhealthy, un-American, and bad for the country. Conservatives seem to understand this, but liberals have lost sight of this […]

 

5 things that aren’t racist

Liberals habitually call just about everything racist these days except for each other and with the hyper-sensitivity on college campuses and the demands for all white liberals to be guilt-ridden over their imaginary privilege, even that’s not a rock-solid defense anymore. If everybody and everything is racist, then how do you define racism? If the […]

 

The 3 big things you can learn about liberals from visiting San Francisco

If you are a conservative who has never been to San Francisco, it can be easy to wonder what the attraction would be to such a liberal city. However, San Fran has a lot of amazing features. It has terrific weather, some of the best food I have ever eaten, a unique look because of […]

 

The 7 Best Jokes From The New Dave Chappelle Special That Is Infuriating Liberals

These days, humorless liberals are famous for screaming some version of, “That’s not funny!” at people, but Dave Chappelle’s new special “Stick & Stones” seems to be bothering them more than normal. Vice wrote a whole piece advising people not to watch it. Comedy writer Timothy Michael Jennings encouraged people not to watch the special […]

 

5 Things The Republican Party Can Learn About Politics From Donald Trump

When you are talking about Donald Trump, you’re talking about a billionaire playboy whose name has been synonymous with wealth and success in America since the eighties, a motivational book author, a reality TV star, and the world’s most prominent tweeter. In other words, he is a unique figure and if Republicans like Mitch McConnell, […]

 

7 Attitudes That Make Liberals So Intolerable

Modern liberalism is a toxic influence on our culture, on our country, and on the world. There are perfectly nice, likable, relatively reasonable (at least when it comes to their own lives) liberals out there. I’ve met them and genuinely like some of them. But liberalism is becoming pure arsenic being pumped into the veins […]

 

17 Times Donald Trump Has Condemned Racism and White Supremacy

Given that 49% of Democrats think that Trump voters are racist and everyone from the news media to Democratic presidential contenders continues to claim that Trump said that white supremacists at Charlottesville were “very fine people,” despite the fact that he clearly said exactly the opposite, it is inevitable that some people will falsely accuse Donald Trump of […]

 

How the ‘Sex and the City Mentality’ Helped Cripple a Generation of Women

One of the people I follow on Twitter, Hunter Drew, did a tweet giving his opinion on how women could be better mothers and it inspired so many angry comments from women that it merited a cheeky article from the large British paper, the Sun. How to be a better mother: – Be feminine– Wear […]

 

The surprise isn’t that we had two mass shootings in 24 hours, it’s that we don’t have many more

After the El Paso and Dayton shootings at the end of last week, a friend of mine was asking how we can “pull young men out of the 4chan/8chan toxic cesspool.” It seems like a natural question since the El Paso shooter was the third mass murderer linked to 8chan. This has led to numerous people calling […]

 

It’s Time For Americans to Stop Spending $39,000 on the Average Wedding

In a world where people waste money on $5 cups of coffee, $67,000 2nd electric cars just to impress the neighbors and $1,000 cell phones that give them no benefit whatsoever other than being slightly newer than their last working cell phone, there is no bigger waste of money than a huge wedding. Keep in […]

 

4 Ideas Democrats Running For President Have Embraced That Could End America As We Know It

There is no shortage of extremely bad ideas that have been embraced by some or all in the Democratic field. Reparations, guaranteed income, guaranteed jobs, paying off student loan debt, a $20 minimum wage, Medicare for all – it just goes on and on. However, even though it’s extremely early in the presidential primary process, […]

 

5 Ways The Internet Has Driven The Growth Of Conspiracy Theories

In recent years, we’ve seen more conspiracy theories getting traction and they’ve also started to become more mainstream.

What The Modern Democratic Party Stands For In 20 Quotes From The Trump Era

The Democratic Party that my grandfather belonged to no longer exists in any meaningful sense. Today, the Democratic Party is run, financed and driven by radical, hate-filled people who love socialism and hate conservatives, Christians, men, white people and America itself.

7 Disturbing Episodes Of Left-Wing Violence That Have Occurred Since Trump Was Elected

Left-wing radicalism and violence is nothing new. Just as Democrats in the KKK that thought they were justified in lynching black men who supported those awful Republicans or liberal terrorists in the sixties felt justified in murdering or bombing people they disagreed with, there are liberals today that feel justified in using violence against their […]

 

How liberals have become the driving force behind white supremacy in the United States

Liberals are incessantly telling us that white supremacy is a major problem in the United States and they’d be absolutely right if this were the 1920s when Klan membership was over 4 million people and the KKK was able to gather 25,000 members to walk through DC. That number is even more staggering when you […]

 

20 Reasons Why People Hate Liberalism

Liberalism is… 1) …a dork calling you a fascist right before he gets together with a large group of his mask-wearing friends to smash windows and violently attack random strangers 30-to-1 in an effort to silence and intimidate everyone he disagrees with. 2) …someone who chants “2, 4, 6, 8… America was never great!” at […]

 

The Three Big Reasons Student Loan Forgiveness Is A Terrible Idea

When liberals compete with each other, the “winner” inevitably comes down to who can portray themselves as the biggest victim, who can claim to be the most offended & who’s the most willing to spend other people’s money to try to buy votes. In the competitive 2020 field, that final metric has produced a push […]

Will and Ariel Durant’s ‘The Lessons of History‘ is a book that I’ve heard recommended by a number of successful people and after reading it, it’s easy to see why. Although the book is short and easy to read, it can teach you an enormous amount about human nature. So much of what we think […]
