.@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…
An Open Letter to Donald Trump
With apologies for my (lengthy) sabbatical here, I’ve decided to break radio silence in an open letter to Donald Trump containing a suggestion that would probably make him a lock in November. The suggestion is simple: make the Democrats and their retainers eat their own cooking. Announce that if he is elected President, he will…
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 š¦ (@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…
Xbox E3 Thoughts
So, you may not know this since I mostly post politics, but I’m a gamer every now and then when I’m not dissertation writing or raising a daughter. This means I haven’t picked up a controller in almost 18 months (though I’m hoping to finish Dragon Age 2 by the end of this year. Xbox…
Stop me if you’ve heard this. A Muslim walks into a gay bar…
As news of last night’s mass killing in Orlando filters in, once again the projections, memes and fantasies of leftists, Democrats and the media (but I repeat myself) vanish as the facts present themselves. A gunman killed 50 people and injured 53 in a crowded gay nightclub in the tourist hub of Orlando, Florida,…
Fine @aceofspadesHQ You Want To Know Why I’m Not Talking About San Jose?
do you? I seem to notice a lot of people don't. @tsrblke — The Reaping Phase (@AceofSpadesHQ) June 7, 2016 Ace seems to take issue with the fact that that I’m not breathlessly talking about the mess in San Jose. Perhaps a fair criticism. I lamented on twitter (where I go when I lack the…
Is the “Trump Train” Really Like a Trolley?
I have, shamelessly self-promoted, and now back to our regularly scheduled politics post. I made a comment over at Ace’s place, as well as one hereĀ noting that the Trump v. Hillary situation is basically a real life version of the “Trolley Problem” So now let’s put my “bastard subfield of philosophy” training to use and…
Shameless self Promotion post
I promise I won’t do this again, mostly because CBD is probably going to take away my posting privileges after this. But for Father’s Day I entered a “Dad-Kid [daughter in my case] lookalike contest.” As is most of these types of things it’s all about social media ground game. Kinda like every election before…
Remember.
In case you didn’t know, today is not a day for barbecues, for fun, for baseball or bargain hunting. Today is the day you give thanks for the men and women who gave their lives so you could live yours as fully or as foolishly as you choose. Do not forsake them. Do not forget…
