How many great candidates have lost before the election even started because their own base decided they needed to vote instead for the candidate they were told “could win?”

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…
The left’s secret sauce
The public’s short memories are the secret sauce of the Democrat agenda. Without our short memories, Democrats wouldn’t be able to do all the ridiculous and outrageous things they do when there aren’t any looming elections. They wouldn’t be able to claim the 2016 election was stolen and then censor anyone who says the 2020 election was stolen just four years later. They wouldn’t be able to blanket the news with ex-CIA leaders telling stories about how Hunter Biden’s laptop was “Russian disinformation” before the 2020 election and then have indictments on the way not even two years later….
Democrat shovel-ready jobs
It’s not unusual for politicians, particularly Democrats, to use the phrase “shovel-ready jobs” when discussing government job programs. When people hear this, they usually think construction or infrastructure work. But Democrats mean something else. In 2022, “shovel-ready jobs,” mean race-hustlers, sex-obsessed teachers, and diversity and inclusion consultants. You can’t swing a dead cat without hitting a diversity and inclusion professional or search job listings without finding businesses all over American who need to build up their d&i team. They’re shovel-ready because every Democrat stimulus or spending package always include money set aside to contract with these people to teach…
Boomer control
Is anyone surprised that the Baby Boomer generation will cling to their control, and their desire to control others, until their very last breath? Control of everything and everyone is what they’ve sought their entire lives. Why would they suddenly stop? Their inability to retire, take a vacation, and leave it to the next generation is utterly predictable, once you figure out that everything they’ve tried to do in society has been about planning and controlling the masses while they look down on it all from their ivory towers. Boomers are the only generation in our nation’s history that…
Just what do liberals think blacks can do on their own?
What are liberals saying about black people when they say (not in so many words) that they couldn’t possibly be conservative? Or if they are conservative, it’s because they’re being used or duped, and it couldn’t possibly be because they concluded on their own that the philosophy aligns with their own? Aren’t they really saying that their skin color determines their ideology and personal philosophy? Aren’t they really saying that black conservatives are an affront to “normal” blacks? Isn’t it kind of like saying that black conservatives are almost genetic mistakes? Isn’t the presumption that political philosophy isn’t determined…
The one way leftists take responsibility
Masks are the new bumper stickers. Just like liberals love to adorn their vehicles with Obama, Hillary, or Biden bumper stickers, or stickers with their favorite thoughtless slogans, now they love to self-identify by wearing masks when all around them have left them behind. I went to two grocery stores in the last two days, and even with the mask mandates lifted in Seattle (finally!), the stores were still full of people wearing their masks. Liberals don’t take responsibility for much, but at least they will reliably self-identify when it’s time to figure out who’s fault it is.
Are the Democrats sure they don’t want Trump?
Democrats should really be careful what they wish for. Ever since Trump won the Republican primary in 2016, the Democrats have been working overtime to destroy him. Not just the politician or candidate, but the man. And his family. There was the Russia Hoax. The Perfect Call. The Disinfectant Injection. The Fine People Hoax. The Big Lie. And now, there’s the January 6 Committee. I don’t think it’s a stretch to predict there will be some sort of indictment, and equally likely it would come after he was crowned the 2024 Republican candidate. The Democrats are all in on…
Coercion or poor design?
This morning, at the Orlando airport, I was given a quick survey after logging into and using the airport wifi. The survey was about COVID and my concerns about it during my airport experience. I’m not sure if this would qualify as a government survey (it does seem to be written to apply to all airports), but the questions were either very poorly designed, or they were searching for a specific outcome, because they assumed I had COVID concerns. In this first question, they ask me how I think the airport should prioritize their COVID mitigation strategies: The question…
