The Right Resistance: #NeverTrump’s Kristol begs former GOPers to join with Grampa Joe Biden
Ever since Ronald Reagan’s 70’s and 80’s campaigns we’ve heard a lot about “Reagan Democrats”. More recently, with the rapid rise of the inimitable Donald J. Trump, the term “Trump Democrats” has also been a common refrain, even among charter members of the establishment media. But is there any such thing as… “Joe Biden Republicans”? Don’t laugh. With the internal power struggle in the Republican Party today, it’s certainly possible if not likely that there’s a small but stat

The Right Resistance: Reagan’s saying updated, 'I'm from the government and I have an idea'
In politics, is having lots of ideas a good thing or a bad thing? The answer depends on your ideological predilection and to some extent, your party affiliation. Liberty-loving conservatives (loosely identified as Republicans), for example, don’t care much for pols who claim they’re planning to “transform” the country that gave them their start and nurtured them with opportunities from their first breath until the current moment. Similarly, people who prefer limited governmen

The Right Resistance: Why foreigners are laughing at us, and Pelosi and Democrats don’t care
“The world is laughing at us.” This or a similar refrain was often heard during Donald J. Trump’s presidency. Whenever the former commander in chief did or said something contrary to the accepted protocol of Democrats, swamp leaders, #NeverTrumpers or the ever-judgmental establishment media, some or all of them would quickly suggest that President X in country Y would find it humorous that a political neophyte like Trump would dare express an opinion on the topic. Sometimes t

The Right Resistance: Trump, the Kikuyu mafia and prospect of eliminating the GOP establishment
We knew it would come to pass; we just didn’t know it would happen this fast. Speaking of the establishment’s incessant fixation on the ruminations of former President Donald Trump. The outsider president’s only been out of office for a little over a month and it seems that media talkers on both sides of the political no-fly zone can’t get enough of the New York real estate developer-turned reality TV celebrity-turned anti-establishment political candidate-turned president of

The Right Resistance: Rand Paul was right; how the Stupid Party could become the Suicidal Party
One of many curious things we observed last week was the seemingly emboldened clique of know-it-all establishment Republicans emerging from their forced isolation (during the Trump years, at least) to suggest that it would be a good thing for party senators to join with the certain-to-be unanimous Democrats in their upcoming (?) impeachment trial to vote to convict former President Donald Trump of inciting an insurrection.
These shortsighted pontificators maintained that it

Assault on America, Day 741: Trump exit leaves viable GOP and the media with case of dry mouth
A Trump “destroyed” Republican Party is a fiction that doesn’t exist and won’t last long
We’ve heard it a lot in recent times, that Donald Trump has “ruined the Republican Party.” Since roughly half of Americans and the world have been engaged in a gigantic game of “Let’s Pretend” over the past year, perhaps now is a good occasion to examine the question of Donald Trump’s “damage” to an entity that, at its purpose level, exists only to get candidates elected.
The same med

Assault on America, Day 727: Liberal rage, not just COVID-19, led to 2020 setback for Trump
Trump’s reelection was never a sure thing, even before the CCP virus ruined 2020 In the aftermath of last month’s election, many a commentator at both ends of the partisan spectrum has said or written that President Donald Trump was defeated in his reelection bid due to the onset of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP, or Wuhan, if you prefer) virus and the ensuing global pandemic and its disastrous effect on the world economy. For sure, the virus is the proverbial “shiny object

Assault on America, Day 707: Trump GOP ain’t going back to its do-nothing establishment days
Democrats still swear Trump is purposely destroying the GOP. Are they right? The scene was surreal this past Saturday night when President Donald Trump went down to Georgia to conduct a campaign rally. Such a headline wouldn’t have shocked anyone a couple months ago as the incumbent president, running for a second term, held numerous similar assemblies in states purported to be in contention during the 2020 election. Only this mass gathering of thousands of boisterous and che

Assault on America, Day 664: The final and best argument ever against #NeverTrump mentality
Weighing personality versus the most important signature in the world It seems hard to fathom, but one week from today Americans will go to the polls (if they haven’t already dropped by the mailbox) to vote in what is undoubtedly the most important and consequential election of our lifetimes.
Undoubtedly many (about half?) will do so motivated by support for their candidate. Others will do it as a civic duty. And the rest will likely make the journey out of personal prefe

Assault on America, Day 657: Joe Biden, noble crusader… or compromised placeholder candidate?
Grampa Joe Biden and the last desperate Democrat crusade No doubt, 2020 will go down as one of the most -- if not the most -- unusual elections of all time. With two candidates each battling their own political bugaboos to attract voters’ favor, there’s never been a greater example of true theatrical partisanship than we’ve experienced this year. President Donald Trump is up against the fiercely antagonistic forces of both the DC establishment and the radical left. He’s been

Assault on America, Day 615: Civility at the expense of good policy is no political virtue
You may not be interested in politics, but politics is interested in you By show of hands, how many of you took the weekend off from politics? Don’t fudge it, did you intentionally avoid watching any of the news channels during those three days? Only the politically disengaged would truthfully raise their arm towards the heavens -- if indeed there are any such creatures left anymore. In today’s social media interconnected world there’s no escape from the thoughts and opinions
