Nearly five years ago, one of the first Bubbler posts I wrote was called “Celebrate similarity.” Back then, it was simply affirming Prince questioning what we hoped to gain by celebrating what divides us instead of celebrating what unites us. Because we don’t really teach US history anymore, fewer and fewer people understand this. But the United States was founded on a set of principles that attracted a diverse set of people from all around the globe – all of whom were united by one core idea: Freedom. They came to build a better life. Hard to say whether…
“What’re you gonna do about it?” (The Democrat platform)
I’m not sure if conservatives or the GOP have noticed, but the Democrat approach to achieving their goals is to punch America in the face, stand over them, and ask, “What’re you gonna do?” And they’ve never been more brazen about it. With the help of a bought and paid for mainstream media, along with a weak and feckless Republican Party, they know they can’t be stopped. They know that America can watch a violent riot (if they can find it on any of the network news), and Democrats will stare right at them and say it was a…
Battling corruption: the Republican winning message
The Republican Party needs a winning message – not just for the 2022 midterms, but for the 2024 general election, as well. Nothing could be more powerful than fighting corruption. The country is terribly divided right now. It’s accentuated by the fact that the parties, and those who defend them, are so aggressively at each other’s throats about, well… everything. It used to be that the two parties wanted the best for America, but disagreed on how to get there. Now they disagree on the fundamental direction of the country, and many will tell you we can’t come back…
Democrats: Sinister or Stupid?
The GOP, and conservatives, in general, continue to prove they need a lot of marketing help. Here’s the most important solution, and it must be implemented now: Brand the Democrats with this simple choice: Sinister or Stupid? It’s a question everyone can identify with, and it’s universally always a good question to ask about anything a Democrat says or does. Gas and oil prices are skyrocketing. What would you do? Democrats would stop drilling for oil in our own country. Are they sinister or stupid? Racial tension is a real problem. What would you do? Democrats would teach and…
How to build a thriving city – 2022
I recently hopped in my car and drove from Seattle to Boise, Salt Lake City, Santa Fe, Flagstaff, Vegas, Bakersfield, then San Francisco, and back to Seattle. Coming from Seattle, a city that is clearly thriving in nearly every way, I started to notice little similarities in some of these other cities. Boise had a small tent city near the Capitol. Salt Lake City had obviously consolidated it’s roadways for bike lanes. And on it went. I was also recently in Milwaukee, and noticed this same trend. It was starting to adopt some of the ideas that made Seattle…
Time: the critical fraud ingredient
There’s a fair amount of ways to steal an election: mail-in ballots, no voter ID, hacking voting machines, creating and submitting counterfeit ballots en masse, impersonating a dead voter, taking advantage of outdated voter roles, and the list goes on. But in most cases, time is the critical ingredient. The more time there is between the actual vote being cast and the final tabulation of votes, there more time there is to introduce corruption. That’s why, regardless of the outcome of this election investigation(s), we must remove the element of time from voting. Going forward, starting with the Georgia…
The party of projection
The foundation of the Democrat Party is based squarely on projection. If you want to know what they are or what they stand for, you simply have to listen to what labels they use to describe conservatives. Go down the list… racism sexism homophobic anti-science uneducated fascist wealthy intolerant The list is longer, but these are the ones you hear most often, so let’s address them. Democrats can’t look three feet without seeing a racist. They see racism everywhere, in everything. This is partly because they see race. When Democrats see a black person, they think, there’s someone who…
How to build a thriving city – 2023

Trump Derangement Syndrome 2.0 – a mutant variant that affects his supporters
Trump Derangement Syndrome (or TDS) has evolved – as most viruses do. It used to be he made his detractors so angry that they would lose their minds, become singularly focused on whatever it was he was saying or doing, stop at nothing to destroy him, and, in doing that, expose their own selfish intentions which were nearly always bad for America. However, there is a new variant of TDS – TDS 2.0 – and it’s infecting his supporters. TDS 2.0 is the belief that there is only one man on earth who can save America and the world,…
The most important thing Tucker said
Everyone is talking about Tucker Carlson’s distillation of the January 6, 2021 security camera footage recently released to him. And well they should. As expected, he completely debunked the narrative that has gone on far too long by The Party and their stooges in the media. But let’s not blur the most important thing Tucker said (at the 6:45 mark): “[Chuck Schumer. Mitch McConnell. Mitt Romney. Tom Tillis.] They’re all on the same side. So it’s actually not about left and right. It’s not about Republican and Democrat. Here you have people with shared interests.” “The open borders people….
It may be time to stick together
Matt Walsh – one of my favorite conservative commentators – recently wrote: “Imagine how much more effective conservatives would be if we had even the slightest sense of camaraderie or just a little bit of loyalty to each other as compatriots in the culture war.” In response to an objection, he then wrote: Meanwhile, after Nikki Haley recently spoke at CPAC, MAGA War Room observed that the speaker’s hall was very empty for Nikki Haley’s speech – implying that no one wanted to hear her. I responded by pointing out it was empty for everyone… Doesn’t seem very controversial…
Conservativebrief.com: Make them stop
I’d love to know how much conservativebrief.com and deenquirer.com are paying headliner conservatives to promote them? If you follow conservatives like Ava Armstrong, Sebastian Gorka, or Dinesh D’Souza on Twitter, you’ve surely noticed the pattern of conservativebrief.com promotion: This is huge! She’s in trouble! It’s over! Court ruling a game-changer! Then, if you make the mistake of clicking on the linked article, you get a bunch of paragraphs that regurgitate everything everyone already knows about the related subject, without any news or developments of any kind. When it happens, it looks a bit like this: Here are the first…
Trump’s 13D chess
Trump stooge Alex Bruesewitz has been earning his keep by trying to tie Governor Ron DeSantis to every retread RINO he can think of, best summed up in this tweet: The problem is that according to Trump, it was Trump who “got him elected.” If I’m any study of logic, that means if DeSantis is bad, Trump is a poor judge of character. When pressed on this, Bruesewitz said that DeSantis started out good, but then threw Trump under the bus. If that’s the case, Trump is still a bad judge of character. Is this an exception? Correct me…
A choice between crazy or normal
For the first time in my lifetime, and GOP may have accidentally veered into messaging. Last night, Sarah Huckabee Sanders gave the Republican response to Joe Biden’s State of the Union address. In it, she did something you rarely hear from any Republicans. She had a concise message that resonated: Democrats and Republicans give you a choice between “crazy or normal.” She didn’t spend as much time as I would have liked, and only mentioned it two more times, but she cited as her examples CRT (which she should have defined), racism, indoctrination, use of LatinX, COVID mandates, and…
Things are looking up
If you’re following events closely – and by definition, that means seeking out conservative news sources beyond the mainstream print, television, and internet media – you’ve probably concluded the United States is lost. Or at least we’re breathing our last gasp. That may be true… or it may not. Thinking long-term, which we arguably don’t have, I think the truth continues to catch fire, and more and more conservatives have their eyes wide open every day. What used to be called “conspiracy theories” are proving to be true. Take just last Friday. “Mitt” Ronna McDaniel, lapdog to the Republican…
The conservative marketing problem: example #1,538… gas stoves
It pains me to say it, but Joe Scarborough was right about something. On his show this morning, he was talking about Republicans talking about gas stoves, and he said, “It’s so stupid. They’re talking about gas stoves instead of Vladimir Putin threatening nuclear war… instead of China invading Taiwan.” He’s right. That is stupid. But not necessarily for the reasons he thinks. It’s stupid because, once again, the Republican Party’s disaster of a marketing department (that’s me stupidly believing they have one) is reacting to the latest ridiculous idea from Democrats instead of going on offense and talking…
