If you read this article , you'll quickly notice identity politics' fatal flaw. Tim Walz still hasn't figured out why he and Kamala Harris got crushed by President-Elect Trump and Vice President-Elect J.D. Vance. In the spirit of bipartisanship, this might help. In the article, Walz is quoted as saying "I thought it was a real flex when the Wall Street Journal pointed out that I might have been the least wealthy person to ever run for vice president. How in the world did we lose to a billionaire or a venture capitalist, when we were making the case of a country attorney and a high school teacher?" This isn't complicated. Being a teacher means nothing to people. Being an attorney, by itself, means nothing. There's no disputing that teachers are part of the middle class. Still, they're also out of touch with the middle-class. Teachers kept schools closed during the COVID shutdown by pressuring the Biden administration to keep them closed. Further, Kamala...

If people needed proof that Joe Biden hates President-Elect Trump more than he loves this nation that he supposedly leads, I've got the receipts proving it. During his 4-year stint as Commander-in-Chief, Joe Biden never attended the annual Army-Navy game. STATEMENT: Biden didn't attend even 1 Army-Navy game in his 4 years in office. Joe Biden is a thoroughly spiteful Democrat. According to this article , "After The Daily Wire published an exclusive report revealing that the Biden administration was racing to sell off parts of the border wall before President-elect Donald Trump takes office, Texas GOP Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick fiercely declared his state was prepared to bid on every piece being sold and then give it directly to Trump." Biden is a total dirtbag. It's one thing to disagree with the incoming president's policies. That happens each time we switch presidents. To sabotage the incoming president on a major campaign promise is the personificati...

Despite what Matt Gaetz thinks of former Speaker Kevin McCarthy, McCarthy got things right. Frankly, Gaetz is a traitor. I'm thankful that he's been dispatched from government. I hope he doesn't return ever again. But I digress. The reason I'm bringing up former Speaker McCarthy is because he's written this article , which I consider today's must reading. The article opens by saying "We are in a race for the future with China, and that future will be driven by Artificial Intelligence; the winner of this race will hold the keys to the engine of prosperity and freedom. But we will not win this race, and we lose more than our place in the world, if we don’t concurrently win the race for abundant, low-cost and widely distributed energy." Let's compare that with the soon-to-be-dispatched Biden administration. Their approach was to restrict fossil fuel production while essentially eliminating nuclear power. Biden and his yes-men apparently answer to AOC...

This year, 2024, President-Elect Trump won Pennsylvania's 19 Electoral Votes for the second time in three years. This article  asks whether Pennsylvania will soon follow in Ohio's footsteps in becoming a reliably ruby-red state. At this point, I'm still a little skeptical of Pennsylvania becoming that reliably ruby-red. There's no disputing the fact that Republicans are becoming more competitive in Pennsylvania. This isn't just about President-Elect Trump. It's also about doing the work that isn't getting noticed. It's about personnel on the ground. This past year, Scott Presler was on-the-ground with his troops getting to every group of Pennsylvanians registering them to vote. It's mattered. Bigtime. According to the article, "Democrats now have their 'narrowest voter registration edge in at least a half-century. What was an advantage of 1.2 million voters in 2008… is now a gap of fewer than 300,000.'" That's clearly a trend. D...

 Saturday afternoon, President-Elect Donald Trump and Vice President-Elect J.D. Vance will attend the annual Army-Navy game with some special guests. The game will be held in Northwest Stadium in Landover, Maryland . President-Elect Trump's special guests will be Forida Gov. Ron DeSantis and Petee Hegseth, Trump's nominee to be his Secretary of Defense. According to FactCheck.org , Gov. DeSantis "touted his military experience, saying he 'was assigned with U.S. Navy SEALs in Iraq' and 'deployed to Iraq alongside U.S. Navy SEALs.' That’s accurate: He was a Navy lawyer who advised a SEAL commander." According to this USAToday article , "Vance served in the Marine Corps for four years, from 2003-2007, and was a public affairs officer during a six-month stint in Iraq but never saw combat." As for Hegseth's military career , 1"Hegseth joined the Army Reserve Officers' Training Corps in 2001. After graduating from Princeton in 2003, H...

When Trump Border Czar Tom Homan met with NYC Mayor Eric Adams , a little bipartisanship was apparently kindled. That might lead to less confrontation on the mass deportation front. Then again, it doesn't appear as though bipartisanship is on Chicago's Democrat mayor's menu. Brandon Johnson is still insisting that he's vehemently opposed to anything with President-Elect Trump's name attached to it. First, let's examine what happened during Homan's meeting with Mayor Adams. ABCNews is reporting "New York City Mayor Eric Adams met with incoming border czar Thomas Homan to discuss their plans to remove what he says were violent undocumented immigrants." The fact that Mayor Adams is calling it their plan might signal a thawing in their relationship. They likely don't see eye-to-eye on everything related to immigration but it's a nice first step. As Homan often says, 'why wouldn't a mayor want to get criminal aliens out of his city?...
