It’s all numbers starting today. President Trump can lose Pennsylvania and Michigan and still win the election, squeaking by with 270 electoral votes. On the other end, if he picks up New Hampshire, Minnesota, and Nevada he will comfortably earn a second term with 326 electoral votes. I think those are the three states most…

New York’s spectacularly stupid decision to severely restrict cash bail for many crimes seemed to be the gold standard of idiotic legislation. The Law of Unintended Consequences had to go to the emergency room for treatment of raging Schadenboner. But California would not be denied! San Francisco has raised the stakes with their solid entry…

I am sick and tired of our current crop of politicians who obfuscate and triangulate and manipulate and bullshit and behave in all respects like psychopathic liars, because that’s what they are. And even worse, they exude the slime in which they have been immersed for their entire political careers…the evil, primordial ooze of inside-the-beltway…

Pack the court? Sure. How about if by some miracle the Republicans regain the House and President Trump nominates five more extremely young and extremely conservative judges and Cocaine Mitch McConnell rams them through in the next few months. How does that sound? Article III of the U.S. Constitution does not specify the number of…

There is a visceral, irrational hatred that manifests itself among a certain kind of left-of-center American. We have all seen the videos of some inarticulate, sputtering maniac spouting furious talking points about how Trump is the Devil and Republicans will murder immigrants and take away your rights and force women into servitude and on and…

Civics, American History, Political Science…apparently none are taught anymore, because the level of idiocy, ignorance and flaccid assumptions about our political structure are ubiquitous. Checks and balances? Three branches of government? A Constitutional Republic vs. a majority-rule Democratic government? Bueller? One of the glories of American Exceptionalism (another phrase about which most are ignorant) is…

The destruction of Western philosophy continues apace, as 2,500 years of intellectual progress is destroyed by the neo-luddites of postmodernism. Free markets, science, engineering; all rely on a ruthless system that punishes failure and rewards success. Destruction of standards, however benign-sounding and “fair” and “equitable” it may sound, will erode exactly what has created the…

As if the attempted destruction of our economy to destroy President Trump wasn’t enough for the Acela-Hyde Park-Madison-Austin-SF-Portland Malibu corridor! The drive to shift their economies to a non-manufacturing-high-“education” work force has allowed many of their most vocal supporters to continue to work from via the internet. And isn’t that lovely…except that the service industries…

It’s always the cover-up! Had Twitter and FaceBook and the rest of them simply minimized and mocked and picked apart the NY Post story about The blindingly obvious corruption of the Biden family, they and the Democrats (but I repeat myself) would have had a chance to decrease its penetration into the national consciousness. But…

As professional sports rush to become just another shrill screech in the cacophony of criticism of America and Americans by an increasingly remote elite, I am reminded of the bygone days of American sports. Players were accessible to their fans, they rarely spoke out on matters about which they had no particular expertise; they preferred…
