Elon Musk Takes Over America While D’s Apologize Over Hunter Biden’s Pardon. No, not at the same time. But Democrats have now proven themselves utterly incapable of pushing back at all on the oligarchy they have allowed to happen. They are feckless, lacking feck.

Is This Lawsuit Really Necessary? Can someone please explain to me why Matt Meyer simply won’t, or can’t, submit his nominees to the State Senate for the Diamond State Port Board and just be done with it?

Musk Runs Amok. Dems Do Nothing. If a political party does nothing to challenge arguably the most-despised person in the world, one who is bent on destroying the fourth branch of government (call it the civil service, call it the bureaucracy), it ceases to be a political party worthy of support. Take, for example, USAID: […]

I’ve delayed this long enough. Here goes: We’re in the midst of an unprecedented attack on government safeguards that more or less stop us from sinking into oligarchy. Or autocracy. Label it howsoever you choose. The press appears unable to even fully-grasp it, much less report on it. The Democratic Party basically doesn’t exist. I […]
