To predict how 2017 played out would be like buying a thousand dollars in Bitcoin the day it was released and holding on to it while remembering your password – in other words, it was very unlikely. Looking forward to 2018 is probably just as crazy an idea as 2017 was a year, but the […]

First off, Merry Christmas. This goes live on Christmas Eve, so I don’t have any delusions that a lot of people are going to be reading this. I hope they do, but I hope more that everyone has better things to do – be with family, wrap gifts, inadvertently get sucked in to the “24 […]

There’s a possibility our species will, in the not-too-distant future, be wiped out. Not by a meteor, but by simply no longer reproducing. Sterility won’t be the culprit, it will be the rise of the zeta males. You doubtlessly have heard of alpha and beta males – alphas being dominant and aggressive, and betas being […]

Aside from testosterone, the military, small businesses, the private sector, attractive women, private property, happily married heterosexuals, and people who refuse to conform to their Utopian-or-else drum circle mentality, there few thingsliberals hate more than being held to the rules they’ve set for others. When it happens, they generally react the same way – to […]

Congress is stuck in the mud, or the swamp (if you prefer). Republicans are in the midst of blowing a golden opportunity to restore some semblance of constitutional government and they’re fumbling more than a drunken running back in the middle of a bender. Obamacare repeal isn’t happening, a wall is unlikely, and there’s a […]

Growing up in Detroit, I was a huge hockey fan. After a long stretch of awful teams, the Red Wings got good, eventually leading to a string of Stanley Cup championships. It was a glorious time to be a Wings fan. In that time there were certain players who annoyed the hell out of me, […]

If you’d told me last year that complete Republican control of Congress and the White House would lead to nothing getting done, I would have laughed at you. Of course, last year I would have laughed at the idea of complete Republican control of government, so the idea of no legislative accomplishments would have been […]

If you want to know what liberals are up to, all you have to do is listen to what they’re accusing conservatives of doing. You’ve heard the news – Donald Trump colluded with the Russians to rig the election and steal it from Hillary Clinton, its rightful owner. Only it was the Democrats who did […]

Whether it’s writing or doing radio, one thing you could always count on was the occasional slow news day or week. A couple of times per year, usually in August or around the holidays, Congress would go on recess and everyone’s attention would shift to more personal matters, such as spending time with family. Since […]

Just when you thought liberals had sunk as low as they could, they break out the shovel and start digging. Nothing is sacred anymore. Nothing is off limits, and everything is political. This week showed us once again there is nothing Democrats won’t exploit, no grave they won’t dance on, if they think they can […]

It was already a bad year for Hollywood – people simply aren’t buying tickets to their remakes and rehashed ideas anymore – and it just keeps getting worse. The curtain is being pulled back and exposing a permissive and enabling culture of disgusting people who’d have Caligula telling them to have some decency. While the […]

It is not a good time to be a Hollywood liberal or an elected Democrat. To paraphrase Jeremiah Wright, their chickens have come home to roost. Movie mogul and Democrat mega-donor Harvey Weinstein was exposed by none other than the bible of the political left as a misogynistic pervert, and his tentacles run deeply into […]

Protesting NFL players and progressive activist journalists have not been having a good week. In an attempt to “raise awareness” of their cause they’ve become the Westboro Baptist Church of the national anthem. Although that makes me happy because I’m not a fan of frauds, I want to take a moment to let them and […]

I know Democrats really want us to care about the so-called “DREAMers,” illegal aliens brought to the country as children by their illegal alien parents. And the media desperately wants us to care about them, too. It trots out hand-picked illegals to tell their sad tales of woe, detailed stories designed to tug at heartstrings […]

Did you realize you have a right to not be offended? That you have a right to other people’s property and their labor? Were you unaware that you, as a citizen, have the same rights in the United States of America as an illegal alien? These are among the newly declared “rights” Democrats have bestowed […]

Donald Trump enjoys being liked. When he gets favorable poll numbers he is quick to cite it. When he gets unfavorable poll numbers he is quick to cite the best numbers in it or, if there aren’t any in it, ignore it completely. That’s politics and to be expected. But polls are one thing, being […]

Mention voter fraud near a liberals and you’ll see Pavlov’s Basic Principles of Classical Conditioning in action. “There is no voter fraud,” they’ll instinctively say, then expect a treat. But is there something more behind their reaction than groupthink? When President Donald Trump announced his Advisory Commission on Election Integrity the media nearly lost what […]

I watched President Donald Trump’s address to the nation on Monday with great interest. What would he propose to do in Afghanistan? Send more troops, pull more out, use private contractors, etc. Now we know. But there are really only two options to consider: actually going to war the way we used to, or simply […]

Unless you work in it, it is impossible to know exactly what goes on inside any administration. The thought processes behind actions and statements are calculated and self-serving, no doubt. It’s usually not that difficult to rationalize why people acted as they did – or it was before the Trump White House. But now, more […]

Journalism hasn’t seen too many good weeks of late, but this past one was particularly bad. The self-described “Fourth Estate,” long ago exposed as more of a Fifth Column, continued to churn out biased tripe for which it undoubtedly will receive many awards. There’s nothing to lose at this point, what with so little remaining […]

From the moment Hillary Clinton lost the 2016 election, a plan was hatched to blame Russia for her historically epic loss and use it to hamstring Donald Trump’s presidency. Always a hive-mind, Democrats in and out of the media could be counted on to do their parts, and they’ve done just that. But what started […]

There are weeks, and there are “weeks.” This week seemed like a month’s worth of news was crammed into it…by force. And through all of it, nothing good was done for the American people or the cause of individual liberty. It’s enough to make you wonder if there’s a method to the madness, or if […]

Did you enjoy “Made In America Week”? Did you even know it was “Made In America Week”? Well, it was. But thanks to President Donald Trump’s inability to get out of his own way and maintain any semblance of message discipline, the week-long celebration of American manufacturing went about as successfully as “Infrastructure Week.” Don’t […]

It’s been a recurring theme of my columns that liberals are out of touch with what the average American believes and cares about. Since the 2016 election results were such a shock to their system, even the left is beginning to recognize flyover country isn’t interested in its snake oil anymore. No group was hit […]

Dear Mr. President, It’s been a while since I’ve written. But I feel like maybe there are some things the people around you aren’t telling you, so I thought I’d put them down here in the hope you’d read them. First, the media is freaking out over your tweets about Joe and Mika. I don’t […]

It was a different time, a crazy time, all those…days ago…way back at the end of last week. I remember it like it was, well, just last week, when Democrats suggested that maybe, just maybe, the political rhetoric in the country was a little too heated after one of their own tried to murder as […]

When I wrote two weeks ago about how liberals would not stop until someone got killed, I was hoping it was more of a warning than a prophecy. Unfortunately, it was not. But the actions and words of leftists in the wake of the attempted slaughter of Republican members of Congress –for the sin of […]

I’m old enough to remember when “violent rhetoric” was the root of all our problems, and crosshairs on a website no one ever saw was the reason for mass murder. Of course, those were different times, times in which the president had a (D) after his name, not an evil (R). Since that important change […]

Each successive special election has been like watching a kid get socks under the Christmas tree. Democrats get all excited at the prospect of something happening, but it is always dashed by the reality crashing down around them. The special election in Montana was no different, and it has been fun to watch. The media […]
