There was a golden opportunity for election fraud in Wisconsin in 2020…
…and we’re only finding out about it now. I’m actually surprised we’re finding out about it at all. The more mail-in ballots you allow, the more opportunity for fraud. That seems to be a general rule, unless some very strong … Continue reading →
Some Democrat senators briefly leave the reservation and the left is outraged
The situation was a vote on the minimum wage hike to $15, but for some people the issue was not primarily the hike itself but the process by which it was being voted on. It was attached to the so-called … Continue reading →
In no surprise, HR1 passes in the House…
…along strict party lines. This is the Democrats’ top priority, something I’ve written about several times before on this blog (see this, for example). One would think that if Democrats cared to fix the fact that half the nation doesn’t … Continue reading →
Obamacare was the turning point for the American left

The Democrats’ most recent attempt to pass a Bill of attainder would be laughable…

More about that Time article: the Arizona call by Fox and many other incidents of interest
That recent Time article I’ve already discussed (in this post) is the gift that keeps on giving. The more you think about the article, the more it seems to reveal and/or suggest. For example, take this excerpt [emphasis added mine; … Continue reading →
Viva Frei on that Time article
Well worth watching:

It was Karl Marx who wrote this oft-quoted remark: “Hegel remarks somewhere that all great, world-historical facts and personages occur, as it were, twice. He has forgotten to add: the first time as tragedy, the second as farce.” There’s certainly … Continue reading →
The military purge
Actually, the political purge of the military isn’t just beginning. Under Obama, there was a sea-change that involved the top brass, from what we might call “old school” to “new school.” There also was a general movement in the military … Continue reading →
