One of the areas of great angst to me has been the frustration of dealing with what should be our side in the great struggle against progressivism.

I can understand the left, their social justice warriors they created by entrenching in higher education and public education. The rent a thugs who even have their own training camps for radical disruption, the donor base who have their own purposes for the chaos created and Hollywood, who is really worried that their gigs are falling apart as media fragments into thousands of channels.

Parts of the right puzzle me no end. I can understand the blue collar … Continue reading →

All he needs is another 5%

Our talking heads, our leftist twits , our progressive finger waggers are all having an aneurism because they were EXPECTING TRUMP TO MODERATE AND DO THINGS THAT PLEASED THEM.

I wonder where they got this idea, other than it just was one of those things they just assumed they were entitled to, like respect and deference.

I have written before about the ‘dense pack’ tactic Trump is throwing at the entire DC establishment. He is going to drop at least two outrages a day , every day, and three on Sunday.

Media combat tactics, if the media cannot mount an effective outrage campaign … Continue reading →

Rumor has it that you may have more time on your hands these days. Which is great, because work keeps me on the go these days.
How in the heck are you?

“The Establishment” is an ephemeral term we, especially me, have used to described the entrenched political class bureaucracy: elected, appointed, and otherwise in Washington DC. I respect in elections past there was room for reasoned debate about the existence and influence of said establishment. However, since January 20th all debate is moot as the forces arrayed against those who propelled Donald Trump to the presidency have cast off their masks and revealed their agenda(s).

The foot dragging of a majority Republican Senate in confirming the President’s reasonable cabinet officers, stalling repeal of the ACA, and now silence while an Obama flunky attorney foments a Constitutional crisis is beyond reproach. Consistent with what we have endured since handing Senatorial power to the feckless Republicans again we are fed excuses … Continue reading →

I regret that I will be on able to watch the inauguration due to my work schedule. This is a remarkable, given that I write the schedule around here. Well, work gets what it wants. Meanwhile, I now I have a spare bottle of champagne for sometime, oh, say after the inauguration.

Enjoy a toast and I will certainly reciprocate from here!

If you are anywhere near my age, you cannot hear the 1812 Overture without visions of the masked rider on that great white horse, bringing justice across the wild west. Accompanied by his Indian friend and armed with silver bullets mined from a secret mine (I wonder just how he replenished his supply after a gunfight) he came to the aid of those unable to help themselves. We can argue whether this was actually vigilante action or justice, but for a young boy, it was a great show.How could a young boy resist the white hat, the guns that never ran out of ammo, that huge stallion!

The 9P Eastern/8P Central slot weekdays on FNN has been held by the hottie, Megyn Kelly. Armed with a great bod, … Continue reading →

Jamey is a friend of mine from back when on Facebook, in the Gingrich and Tea Party wars of 2012. He’s going to the Inauguration.  His son is an Eagle Scout!

Jamey is our kind of people.  He is prone to use recon by fire the way I do, so watch out when the boom starts swinging.  

Welcome, Jamey!

Metcalfe’s Law is a concept used in computer networks and telecommunications to represent the value of a network. Metcalfe’s Law states that a network’s impact is the square of the number of nodes in the network. For example, if a network has 10 nodes, its inherent value is 100 (10 * 10). The end nodes can be computers, servers and/or connecting users.

So, get with it people.

Shocked that various Republicans can’t won’t whatever see their way to drowning ObamaCare in a bathtub.
You don’t plan a replacement before you put out a house fire. You just put out the fire. But some people just want to see things burn.

A casual reading of political press this young year reveals a clear truth that previously was known to a select few wise seers, such as the author, and our assembled crew here at the last outpost on the right: Majority Republicans absent possibly Ted Cruz have no intention of repealing Obamacare; they merely wish to pull its levers of economic distortion for their benefactors.

Obamacare memorializes that healthcare is a ‘right’. Further, it memorializes that another person’s ‘right’ to healthcare and the ‘right’ of healthcare providers to be paid fee for service supersedes an individual’s right to his/her personal property. This is a logical extension of medicaid, WIC, SNAP, and all other forms of federal government wealth transfer that I do not think will be undone absent a financial and/or civil crisis.
