Just watched Tucker Carlson interview Victor Jimenez, former Democratic spokesperson for Washington D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser, who says reality forced him to abandon Biden and the Democrats and become a Republican. A Black Hispanic man, Jimenez suggests the current administration is literally destroying both the American economy and respect for the Rule of Law. While …

Is Being “Nice” a Valid Political Principle?
In a recent MSNBC discussion, Joe Scarborough suggested the criminal chaos in San Fransisco was clearly a result of the policies pursued both by that city and the state of California. No doubt referring to the “progressive” bail protocols by which poor, repeat offenders are being released from detention at relatively little cost, and the …

Bidengate!
If Richard Nixon could be forced out of office due to Watergate, Joe Biden should already have suffered the same fate due to the extremely questionable ethics of his involvement in his son Hunter’s equally questionable business pursuits. Hunter Biden’s lucrative position on the board of Burisma, one of the Ukraine’s largest producers of natural …
Gavin Newsom and other Simpletons…..
In response to the Rittenhouse verdict, California’s Governor Gavin Newsom stated as follows: “America today: you can break the law, carry around weapons built for a military, shoot and kill people, and get away with it. That’s the message we’ve just sent to armed vigilantes across the country.” Are you aware, Mr. Newsom, that those …
A Culture in Decline
As I have stated repeatedly, what is now known as “conservatism” used to be referred to as “Classical Liberalism.” But “progressives” long ago [i.e., the Sixties] abandoned the principles of that perspective for what can only be described as a species of hysteria, a mindless world-view based on the superficialities of Identity. The number of …
Angela Merkel: Principles plus Compassion.
Since she became Chancellor of Germany in 2005, Angela Merkel has been reviled from both sides of the political spectrum. As leader of what is inevitably referred to as the “center-right” Christian Democratic Union [CDU], she aspired to that principled yet compassionate point of view I would define as the essence of true conservatism, thereby …

The Left: Addicted to Power
New York City Democrats are pressing to pass legislation which would allow 800,000 non-citizens to vote in upcoming municipal elections. It is a proposal denounced by a number of Republicans as an obvious attempt to cash in on the assumed tendency of most new immigrants to vote Democrat. While my first impulse was to agree, …
Hillary: Meet Reality!
In an interview with MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow, Hillary Clinton recently blamed Biden’s plummeting popularity on the “demagoguery” and “misinformation” so perversely exploited by “the other side” on social media. Of course those of her mind-set, slavishly venerated with few exceptions [i.e., Fox News] throughout the mainstream culture, resent the opportunities available to dissenting voices via …
Common Sense vs. Political Labels
While I would be consigned to the political Right given the absurdly Leftist bias of our contemporary culture, I would argue the Rationalism [common sense] of my “conservatism” places me emphatically in the Center. Bill Maher, who still refers to himself as a “liberal,” never stops fulminating against the irrationality that seems to pervade the …
Compassion Misplaced!
It is a known fact that Leftist billionaire George Soros, motivated by compassion for the “oppressed,” has financed the campaigns of a number of “progressive” D.A.s across the States in an effort to remedy what he sees as the racially motivated incarceration of an inordinately high number of Blacks. Larry Elder, of course, would respond …
