Trump has Made News Great Again
Politics in hyperdrive. Who can keep up? And to what extent should one keep up? Here are a couple of articles that caught my eye: The Islamic Republic's New Lease on Life. Mercifully brief, and very interesting. In Foreign Affairs, by one Mohammad Ayatollahi Tabaar. I'd be interested in Caiati's and Soriano's comments. Elon Musk…

Nancy Pelosi in 1996: A Pre-Trumper on Tariffs
You have probably seen this by now, but in case you haven't, here is Nancy Pelosi in 1996 talking sense! I didn't think she had it in her, given the inanities she has been spouting for the last quarter century. I don't see much if any difference between what she said then about tariffs, trade…

In-Lieu-of-SOTU: Trump’s Congressional Address
Fabulous address by Trump to both houses of Congress last night. It kept me up beyond my monkish bedtime. So I got up 'late' this morning at two a.m. How good was it? The boneheads of The Bulwark are going bonkers. Can I say anything bad about it? Well, our boy spoke of two genders…

The Coalition of the Sane and the Reasonable
I have been using the title phrase for some time now to refer to Trump-supporting conservatives. But what makes us sane and reasonable? Victor Davis Hanson compiles a list in The Trump Counterrevolution is a Return to Sanity. In an earlier post I referred to the take-back of our country as a National Sanitation Project,…

Michael Moore Supports Trump?
The Moore bit starts at the 1:20 mark then goes for four minutes. HT: Tony Flood.

The 2020 Theft Saved the Country
The argument of this article goes through even if the 2020 election was not stolen from Trump. Biden's reversal of Trump's good works has exposed the thoroughly depredatory nature of our political enemies and has galvanized Trump and his supporters. The Orange Man has learned a lot in the interim. First-rate ass-kickers have joined his…

Repost from Election Day, 2016: Catholics Must Support Trump
This is an unredacted repost from 8 November 2016. My opinion of Trump is higher now than it was then. But the piece is basically on the right track and I stand by it. I threw the dice for Trump and the sequel showed that I was right to do so. I was vindicated in…

Of Course Trump Won Iowa
Dov Fisher speaks his mind: There has been only one truly great country in the entire world these past 150 years, the United States of America. [. . .] America’s great secret always was equal opportunity. It remained a step behind its fullest potential as long as it denied equal opportunity to some of her…

An Interview with RFK, Jr.
Here He won't get the Dem nod, and I wouldn't vote for him if he did. But he is an anomaly in his party: a decent Dem. He has more in common with us than with the Biden bunch. I'd like to see him run third-party. Here is the video. 'Equity' comes up around 16:49.

Populism Reload: An Interview with Steven K. Bannon
Steve Bannon talks sense. See if you don't agree: Mark Granza: Let’s talk about the “Deep State“. The term is widely used by people on the Right to describe the network of bureaucrats and organizations secretly running the country behind the scenes. Is this in your experience an accurate description of what’s going on in…

Mark Granza Interviews Blake Masters: ‘Woke’ Capitalism and Kyle Rittenhouse
(Related: my Substack article, The Trial of Kyle.) Here is the interview. A couple of excerpts: Mark Granza: A decade ago most people would have considered ‘Woke Capitalism’ a contradiction, and probably laughed at the idea. Today, nobody questions its existence. Do you think there are there inherent characteristics within Capitalism that transform it into…
