We have previously noted the irony. The current hyper-partisan nature of DC – is largely the result of a bipartisan project. Well – unilaterally partisan by both Parties, anyway. Because both Parties LOVE to gerrymander Congressional districts: “We have…spent the last five-plus decades – gerrymandering the daylight out of Congressional districts. To the point where […]
This has been an absolute truth for at least the last half century: If something is good for America and Americans – it is bad for Leftists. The Left is in the misery business. In order for the Left to achieve and hold on to power – things must be awful. Or they must lie […]
Wisdom – is eternal. Because it is so rare a commodity – it is treasured by all who actually like and respect all that is good. Stupidity – is also eternal. Because we are humans – and humans are flawed. All who actually like and respect all that is good – try their best to […]
Happy Tax Day, All. Of course, this is America. EVERY day is Tax Day. Please – raise your hand if you think we aren’t paying enough taxes on enough things. I don’t see a whole lot of hands. In addition to income taxes, We the People pay taxes (or fees, which are taxes) on-and/or-for most […]
Washington, D.C. is currently politically divided. The White House is inhabited by Republican President Donald Trump. The Senate is comprised of a 51-49 Republican majority. The House is comprised of a 235-197 Democrat majority (with three vacancies pending). The Average American realizes: This means Republicans and Democrats must meet somewhere in the middle in order […]
One of the great frustrations about our species – is our rigid insistence on repeating the same mistakes over and over and over again. We spend centuries (eons) learning, it would seem, not a single, solitary thing. Government schools (K-12) are, of course, an abomination. They indoctrinate the next generation of radicals – colleges then […]
British politician Benjamin Disraeli famously asserted: “There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics.” I think Disraeli seriously short sold the number of lies. In his defense – he shuffled off this mortal coil decades before being afflicted with today’s hardcore Left media. Because today’s media is constantly finding new ways to […]
President Donald Trump just released a colossally bloated, ridiculously huge $4.7 trillion budget. Democrats and the Left – please pardon the redundancy – reacted as if it were a $1.7 trillion budget. ‘Dead on Arrival’: Democrats Dismiss Trump Budget Plan No matter how much government there is – the Democrat-Left remain a far-less-polite Oliver Twist. […]
One of the chimeras for which we eternally search in Washington, DC – is bipartisanship. We oft hear of the Good Old Days. When Democrats and Republicans would hammer out mutually agreeable legislation by day – and then have cocktails together by night. Of course, the DC definition of “bipartisanship” has long been: “Republicans forsake […]
The mid-1990s inception of the private sector Internet – has led to the greatest economic and lifestyle leap forward in the history of humanity. More than $1 trillion in private investment has taken us from 14K dial-up – to 1GB+ of speed. And hurtling ever upward. And the whole thing is about to take yet […]
