Careful observers of politics and culture usually learn how to spot the dominant narrative, which is a set of presumptions influencing how most of the top-tier actors in the “infotainment” complex see the world (not coincidentally, professional influencers expect the rest of us to share their presumptions, because they sleep [Read More]
By Mike McDaniel As I’m sure regular readers know, a last ditch attempt to pseudo repeal/replace Obamacare has gone down in flames. The co-called “skinny bill,” which would supposedly have repealed some of the worst features of Obamacare such as the insurance mandate and at least some taxes, wasn’t [Read More]
Letting the losers in a war write the history causes fake histories, such as the one claiming that a 1960s switch turned Republicans into the racist party. In the context of world affairs, victory doesn’t always belong to the side that won the actual battles; it really rests with the [Read More]
Californians aren’t brain dead, although you’d never know it from the quality of public officials they send to Sacramento year after year. And here’s proof of it: liberal California politicians have to lie constantly to maintain their power, lest the common people they so disdain rise up against them. Case [Read More]
Insiders and observers are giving good advice to the Democrat party, but it all avoids the obvious: Democrats cannot tell the truth about their goals. Several articles in the news recently combine to highlight a salient point about today’s Democrat party. The first is from Dan Balz, at Wapo, the [Read More]
Since the election of Donald Trump, Democrats–and the media; I know–I repeat myself–have lived in a continuous state of delusion, hatred, rage and projection. Donald Trump could not possibly have been elected president. After all, it was Hillary Clinton’s turn, and they didn’t know anyone that voted for Trump, not [Read More]
By: Mike McDaniel The “hottest ticket in town,” as the media have termed it, is over, at least the public version of the performance. Make no mistake, gentle readers, it was a performance, though one that is not done. The Media, the Democrats, far too many Republicans and everyone [Read More]
By: Mike McDaniel Acting Attorney General Rod Rosenstein has appointed former FBI Director Robert Mueller as special counsel to investigate the Russia/collusion affair. Rosenstein is acting AG only in the Russia/collusion affair, and only because Jeff Sessions was stupid enough to listen to Democrats and recuse himself in that [Read More]
Impeachment is a Progressive, GOP, #NeverTrump pipe dream. On known facts, there’s no basis, so here’s a slap in the face to snap you out of your fear. I see it all over my Facebook feed: triumphant Leftists, certain that we’re on the verge of impeaching Trump and weak-kneed conservatives, [Read More]
By Mike McDaniel: The Washington Post has done it again. This time they’ve published an anonymously sourced story claiming Mr. Trump somehow gave away the intelligence store in a meeting with the Russians. In short order, every person in the room for that meeting—and there were few—has clearly stated [Read More]
By Mike McDaniel The firing, on May 9, of FBI Director James Comey, will continue to splatter across the news for months, perhaps years to come. The hypocrisy is already stunning. Democrats wanted Comey fired because Hillary. Trump fired Comey. Democrats want Trump fired because Comey. None of this [Read More]
By: Mike McDaniel “Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it everywhere, diagnosing it incorrectly and applying the wrong remedies.” Groucho Marx Republican politics is the art of begging voters to give you complete political power to accomplish wonders, getting it, and then ignoring the bastards.” [Read More]
Gorsuch confirmed…this is not exactly breaking news, is it? In fact, he’s getting sworn in today at the White House. But, I saw this over at Polination, and the numbers struck me. A) “Joe Donnelly (IN), Heidi Heitcamp (ND) and Joe Manchin (WV)” Q) Name three Democrats up for reelection, [Read More]
By: Mike McDaniel I have often written about the nature of progressivism and progressives. The election of Donald Trump, and his obvious determination to do what he promised to do during the campaign—something of a rarity in American politics to be sure–have driven progressives over the ragged edge of sanity, [Read More]
By Mike McDaniel The grand promise of Obamacare repeal went down in flames today as President Trump ordered the hapless Paul Ryan to postpone the scheduled vote on their Obamacare semi-sort-of-partial repeal bill, phase 1.whatever. Oh, it would be easy for me to observe that the Republicans had seven long [Read More]
By: Mike McDaniel Often, reading the work of others, such as my colleague and pal, Bookworm, gives me ideas for articles. Nearly as often, comments by readers do the same, such as this one by nunnyadayambiddness: Something that I have been noticing for some time now, related to firearms and the general [Read More]
I’ve promised myself not to tag any more posts until I clear those already cluttering the spindle — and they’re too good to let slip away. It’s time for government to get off its moral high horse. Victor Davis Hanson hits another home run with an article reminding Democrat leaders that [Read More]
By: Mike McDaniel I’ve no doubt that soon, if it hasn’t already happened, Democrats, and the Media (I know: I repeat myself) will be castigating President Trump, claiming he is demanding the Congress investigate Democrat Senators Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi for meeting with Russians. I know a great many [Read More]
By: Mike McDaniel This, gentle readers, is what passes for a conciliatory voice from the Left. This is what the voice of progressive healing, unity and reason sounds like, courtesy, of course, of The New York Times, from an article titled Trump Voters Aren’t The Enemy, by Nicholas Kristof: To read the [Read More]
