Keep Christmas well.

“If a Christian is touched only once a year, the touching is still worth it, and maybe on some given Christmas, some final quiet morning, the touch will take.”

It boils down to this.

What’s obvious to the discerning eye yet remains unrecognized on the left is that dependency on government forecloses access to the middle class.

Boiling down the shutdown.

For six weeks the federal government was shut down because of a bad law that passed  Congress 15 years ago without a single Republican vote.

The government they deserve.

It is simultaneously astonishing and horrifying that a person with a resume that will fit comfortably on one side of a cocktail napkin is now in charge of a city of 300,000 employees, a budget of $120 billion and responsibility for the safety and welfare of more than eight million souls.

How dare this guy!

Hatred of Donald Trump far transcends any dislike Democrats have ever had for any other Republican president.

Surviving the “shutdown.”

Literally hundreds of federal programs, agencies, offices and bureaus that you have never heard of are “shut down” and yet life in our great land continues apace.

My Charlie Kirk takeaway.

It’s clear that to a very high and culturally significant degree, high school and college-aged kids that were exposed to Charlie Kirk’s message liked it.

A watershed day.

While it is appropriate to celebrate the Constitution every year, prudence demands that we acknowledge that it is under assault.

Death by Narrative.

How many more people – black, white, brown, whatever – is The Narrative going to kill?

The lopsided Democrats

Unlike a prior generation of Dems, today’s Democrats are fighting from the lopsidedly losing side of some very basic and straightforward issues.

This time someone has to go to jail.

Elites in government, almost all Democrats, have committed outrageous acts against the American people and have done so secure in their belief that they would never be punished.

Someone must pay.

“Russiagate” isn’t really about Trump. It’s about the fact that with respect to deciding who should be president, a tiny cabal of political elites in very powerful positions arrogated to themselves the presumptive right and power to substitute their judgement ahead of the expressed will of the American people.
