  • It was the racism

    Say all you want about why Donald Trump won the 2024 election: It was the “gut feeling” about the economy. Democrats did not show up. It was sexism. People pushed back against the “elites.” The party of the incumbent president got punished. All of those things can be true. I do not think any are…

  • Elon is not Free Speech

    X, the website formerly known as Twitter, is not a free speech or First Amendment platform. Yeah, I know. Controversial! President Elon is a liar.

  • Trainwreck

    The tracks have been laid. The wreck is inevitable. We can predict the destruction, we just do not know when it will occur or how deep it will penetrate the American way of life. The past week of Trump’s cabinet picks have been underwhelming to say the least. To say they are unqualified is a…

    When the conservative party in the United Kingdom started talking about the UK leaving the European Union about ten or so years ago, many thought it was populist jibber jabber and would not happen. A few years later when the UK voted to leave the EU, the conservatives cheered and said that they were now…

  • What is old us new again We have been here before. We are in yet another Dumb Timeline. The Dumbest Timeline of the possible outcomes we had to choose from. At this point, it needs to play itself out. I give them credit: Donald Trump and his backers did it. They convinced the people to…
