Democrats Need White Supremacists More Than They Need You

Last update February 6, 2021Leave a Comment

It used to be poor people, especially poor black people Democrats depended on. Now it’s white supremacy. Democrats need white supremacists, the more the better. They are using white supremacy against the millions of Americans who oppose their radical policies. That’s why Democratic lawmakers keep repeating that white supremacy is behind everything they stand against: systemic racism, economic inequality, domestic terror, bipartisan congressional politics, the Capitol riot and subsequent militarization of Washington, even climate change.

Trump Got Even and Republicans Look Really, Really Bad

Last update January 10, 2021Leave a Comment

Author’s note December 28, 2020: President Trump signed the COVID relief bill shortly after this post was published. An update appears at the end of the original post.

So where exactly is that 1,593 page spending bill that Democrats and Republicans colluded on to sell to the nation with the misnomer “COVID relief?”

Dead Americans Are a Tragedy. So is Protecting China.

Nancy Pelosi didn’t waste any time pointing her party’s finger at Russia after reports of a massive cyberattack on the U.S. government. While less partisan minds put the pieces together Pelosi played the blame game. She continued spreading her party’s debunked claim that Donald Trump is responsible for boogeyman Vladimir Putin’s efforts to destroy whatever passes for democracy in Democratland:

Sadly and alarmingly, the Trump Administration has for four years turned a blind eye to Putin’s attacks on our American democracy, including his ongoing efforts to attack our election systems and undermine faith in our democratic institutions.

Our Messiah is Not This Pretentious Democratic Party

Last update January 7, 2020Leave a Comment

The mantle of responsibility fell hard on the Democratic Party. Perhaps it was the Christmas season that caused members to frame their latest undertaking in messianic terms, as if the democratic republic they are sworn to save will vanish from the face of the earth if they don’t do the wrong thing.

Scorched Earth Politics Will Leave All of Us Burned

Last update December 15, 2019Leave a Comment

What do a nativity scene with Mary, Joseph, and Jesus in cages and the past week on Capitol Hill have in common? They are unmistakable signs that scorched earth politics has gone too far.

What’s happening in Washington started as partisan brinksmanship that turned into an all-out, scorched earth war between left and right.

Vulnerable Americans? The Weak Are Targets for Democrats

Last update October 23, 2019Leave a Comment

America is about being on top. Our nation is the preeminent economic and military superpower. We also pride ourselves on our ethical and moral leadership, but now these testaments to our strength are under fire. Socialists like presidential candidate Bernie Sanders who target vulnerable Americans are determined to cast doubt on what makes us great:

We must put an end to the obscene income and wealth inequality in our country, and ensure living wages, quality health care, and retirement security for our seniors as human rights.

Crime Statistics Don’t Support Being Nice to Felons

Last update September 8, 2019Leave a Comment

Common sense tells us that stopping crime means preventing criminals from doing illegal things. That’s not easy. There is enormous political liability in cities where failure is measured in bodies and the crime statistics have to be sold to the public.
