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.

Primarying a candidate is not a threat
Have conservatives learned nothing from the 2020 and 2022 elections? There are no elections. The results are already baked in. It’s all theater. There are few real elections anymore. Just ask Kari Lake in Arizona. If there were real elections, Mitch McConnell wouldn’t have a job. Nobody wants Mitch McConnell in the Senate – or anywhere near politics. Yet, here he is. He wins every time he runs. 18 Senators voted for the $1.7 trillion omnibus bill in late December of 2022. How many are really scared that someone may run against them in their next election primary.
