But in fairness to them, I guess it sells well. It is their solution for everything though. More tax dollars, and more government regulation will make us all play nice together and solve the nation’s problems. It’d be incredibly cute in a naïve sort of way, if it weren’t so incredibly scary for its totalitarianism….

Twitter’s Catch-22
Sorry for the lack of content. Busy time here at Casa de tsr. I’m getting to this like 3 days late. But just stay with me here. In any case. Twitter has banned Milo (@Nero) [I cannot spell that last name so I won’t try.] Again. Honestly I have no idea what he did. Something…
Narrative Uber Alles
There is a WORLD of difference between these two incidents. — Bob Owens (@bob_owens) July 7, 2016 Circumstances between #PhilandoCastile:and #AltonSterling shootings are VERY different, folks. Be smart enough to not conflate them. — Bob Owens (@bob_owens) July 7, 2016 Bow Owens has been, in my opinion, a very fair analyst of these cases…
A Debate @ThePlumLineGS Doesn’t Want To Have.
A tweet that will get you blocked in under 30 seconds This is a debate you really don't want to have. https://t.co/nZzSecGQcR — President Dawg (@PresidentDawg) July 6, 2016 If GS’s tweet doesn’t show up, the paraphrase is that he wants Paul Ryan to justify saying the FBI put Clinton “above the law.” [Update: Here’s…
The Joys And Loneliness Of Being A Stay At Home Dad
I thought I’d take another break from politics to muse a bit about my current position. I have reflected on the changes in my life before on the blog. I want to stay by saying, it’s been a great joy to be have the luxury to stay at home 4 days a week and take…
The British Are Leaving, The British Are Leaving!
CBD graciously gave me permission to stomp his post. Sadly, I’m in a hurry, so you’ll get a drive by: https://twitter.com/zackbeauchamp/status/746311106604445696 The media wasted no time into turning the Brexit vote into RAAAACISM. Because they don’t want to admit that the EU is rapidly falling apart, and central government by fiat is a disaster. As…
Maybe @repjohnlewis’s Proposals Don’t Go Far Enough!
John Lewis is a stopped clock who’s right every now and then. And he’s right that we’ve lost too many people to gun violence. But his solution (tying background checks to the terrorist watch list) is weak sauce. At best it might have stopped the Orlando shooter from legally obtaining a gun. But several variations…
An Open Letter To Senator Chris Murphy
.@ChrisMurphyCT said it right: The @SenateGOP have decided to sell weapons to ISIS. — Elizabeth Warren (@SenWarren) June 20, 2016 Dear Sen. Chris Murphy, I have no doubt that no one on your staff will ever read this, much less you. However it needs to be said. I am, notwithstanding the tone I’m about to…
If I’m the @GOP Heads Right Now…
I’m watching poll trends like a hawk. If they aren’t moving very much in Trump’s direction, then this election is all but over. This isn’t a call to politicize Orlando, rather an acknowledgement that events shape political elections and this one is in Trump’s wheelhouse as it were. But what if polls aren’t shifting? The…
Let’s Not Lose The Forest For The Trees Here
.@realdonaldtrump: "Remember this: radical Islam is anti-woman, anti-gay, and anti-American." Fact check: True. — Jake Tapper 🦅 (@jaketapper) June 13, 2016 I’m noting a lot of media coverage is focusing on the LGBT angle of this attack and how we’re going to protect members of the LGBT community from future attacks. (The local station even…
