Serving up reason from the North and logic from the South
On August 23, 2018, someone on Twitter reminded everyone William Wallace was executed that same day in 1305 in the most horrible fashion. He was castrated, disemboweled and innards burned in front of him. He was hanged and finally beheaded. This occurred because of his failure to submit to the King of England. He chose… Continue reading American Homage
The Helsinki Summit held on July 16, 2018, demonstrated to the world something very shocking. That a United States President would grant equal value of the word of a pathological lying, dictator, murdering thug of a former KGB Colonel, on equal grounds as the entire United States intelligence community. When asked if Russia meddled in… Continue reading State Break Away
When the #MeToo movement took off, numerous men went into defense mode and made the claim that not all men are part of the problem. We already know not all men do it. But enough do it to be of concern and addressing. So the need to say things like “not all men” is more… Continue reading Not All Republicans
The GOP sells itself on two things: its desire for smaller government and a god-fearing, moral high ground. They have since lost me and many others on their claim for smaller government. They simply do not get it done when they hold the Executive and Legislative branches. And now, with the election and acceptance of… Continue reading Breaking Bad
Imagine a book coming out, or an essay or one-hour presentation with PowerPoint slides. Imagine the information presented said that everyone around President Barack Obama or George W. Bush or Harry Truman or Theodore Roosevelt or Thomas Jefferson thought these men fools. Imagine the person presenting this information claimed that all the president’s men thought… Continue reading We Already Knew This
Through the Obama years, Democrats had no problem with his pen and phone approach. If he couldn't get it his way with GOP support, he was determined to go it alone. And while he was doing this, there was zero opposition from members of his team. But now that Trump is in power and the… Continue reading Take the Outsider Test
First things first, read the entire Executive Order. Then come back. I’ll wait. Done? No you’re not. Read it first please. * Flips through Cabela’s catalog, looks for fly-fishing classes * * Gets diverted to the muskets. Always wanted a musket * Done? You sure? Okay, here we go: The Executive Order PROTECTING THE NATION… Continue reading Executive Disorder
When I wrote a few weeks back that I believe then President-elect Trump was intentionally using Twitter to take up all of the oxygen in the 24 hour news cycle, I had no idea others would also jump on that same thought-train. Even after pointing out this strategy, I knew the mainstream media and opponents… Continue reading First there was Twitter and then came Spicer
Donald Trump will abuse the office of the presidency. I am convinced of this. During his campaign, he routinely said he knew more about things others did not. He routinely said he knew more about things than anyone else. He routinely said that only he could fix things. In essence, the Donald Trump campaign was… Continue reading Breaking the Cycle of Abuse
I am not a Trump enthusiast. I am not anti-Trump either. I am trying to look at this from a pragmatic perspective and determine how we got to this point in our current political process. Trump is the symptom of a larger ailment plaguing both parties, but, more specifically, the Republican party. We cannot fault Trump… Continue reading Term limits; or, How to win my vote and prevent the do-nothing climate that led to Trump
