So, the politisphere is buzzing this morning on the news that Tulsi Gabbard, who served as the U.S. representative for Hawaii’s 2nd congressional district from 2013 to 2021 & who ran for the Democratic nomination in the 2020 United States presidential election, is leaving the Democratic Party. I can no longer remain in today’s Democratic […]
Politics
Make no mistake this is what tyranny looks like
If you watched President Joe Biden’s speech last night in Philadelphia you saw one of the most toxic, divisive, and frankly dystopian speeches ever delivered by an American president. This was not the national-unity speech we were promised, but rather the “othering” of nearly 75 million people. Pres. Biden, like dictators before him, set out […]

Joe Biden’s Disinformation Governance Board is a Dangerous Idea
Thomas Paine once said, “The greatest tyrannies are always perpetrated in the name of the noblest causes.” that about sums up President Joe Biden’s “Ministry of Truth” better known as the Disinformation Governance Board. On the surface a government agency dedicated to combating disinformation may sound like a good idea, it is, in reality a […]
Freedom of Speech Is One of Our Most Basic Liberties
Freedom of speech is one of our most basic of all liberties. The right to speak openly and honestly about the issues of the day is paramount to the functioning of our republic. It’s also the first right that tyrants attack and try to curtail. In recent weeks we’ve seen Twitter suspended Christian satire site The […]
Americanism
I’ve been thinking about this quote from our 26th President Teddy Roosevelt a lot recently: “Americanism means the virtues of courage, honor, justice, truth, sincerity, and hardihood—the virtues that made America. The things that will destroy America are prosperity-at-any-price, peace-at-any-price, safety-first instead of duty-first, the love of soft living and the get-rich-quick theory of life.” […]
Politics, Bump Stocks and the NRA
Since the NRA released its statement on bump stocks and national reciprocity yesterday I’ve been hearing a lot of grumbling from gun owners and second amendment supporters. They’re not happy. “In the aftermath of the evil and senseless attack in Las Vegas, the American people are looking for answers as to how future tragedies can […]
Marco Rubio Was Right About Obama
Every debate has a moment that everyone remembers long after the debate and campaign has ended. In 2012 it was Rick Perry’s forgetfulness, last night in New Hampshire it Marco Rubio’s ‘Obama knows what he’s doing’ exchange with New Jersey Governor Chris Christie: The irony? Macro Rubio was right on the substance. Barack Obama set […]
Thoughts On Donald Trump and The First GOP Primary Debate
Wow, I just realized it’s been almost a year since I’ve posted anything here. Although I’m loath to wade back into political blogging I thought I’d offer my thoughts on Thursday night’s GOP primary debate. The one thing that was clear during Thursday night’s debate was that Donald Trump was way out of his element. […]
Federal District Court Strikes Down Nation’s Last Explicit Ban on Carrying a Gun in Public
Roughly a year after the Supreme Court’s decision in Dist. of Columbia v. Heller ended Washington D.C.’s defacto gun ban in 2008, Tom Palmer, George Lyon, Ed Raymond & Amy McVey filed a lawsuit along with the Second Amendment Foundation in U.S. District Court claiming the District’s total ban on carrying firearms — open or […]

U.S. Charges Five Chinese Army Officers With Hacking
From the Wall Street Journal: The Justice Department indicted five Chinese military officers, alleging they hacked U.S. companies’ computers to steal trade secrets, a major escalation in the fight between the two superpowers over economic espionage. The indictment, unsealed Monday, marks the first time the U.S. government has publicly accused employees of a foreign power […]
Florida “Warning Shot” Bill Violates The Basic Rules of Firearm Safety… And Physics
I’ve seen politicians propose all sorts of well-intentioned but ill-conceived legislation. Florida’s CS/HB 89 “Threatened Use of Force” bill is a prime example: The Florida legislature is considering expanding the state’s “stand your ground” law to encompass “threatened use of force.” Specifically, the bill is intended to shield those who brandish a gun or fire a […]
Alan Grayson: Toxic Idiot
I haven’t been paying close attention to politics recently so I was a little surprised when an old post about Florida Congressman Alan Grayson started receiving a lot views recently. It got me wondering what he’d done now… What he’s done is completely jumped the credibility shark. Rep. Grayson has always been a bombastic idiot […]
Video: 50 Years Ago Democrats Believed in Tax Cuts
One things for sure, today’s Democrats are not your fathers or grandfathers Democrats… I can’t imaging any of them arguing for tax cuts the way John F. Kennedy does during this interview with David Brinkley and Chet Huntley 50 years: Sadly I think we’re past the point were the traditional method of reducing or adjusting […]
