Diversity and inclusion is a blessing

Conservatives should rally around the diversity and inclusion movement in this country. All of the companies who are embracing diversity and inclusion and adding “D&I” staff to their human resources departments are opening doors for conservatives that had long been shut. Instead of having to hide their conservatism and sound like a liberal in job interviews and within their digital footprint, conservative candidates can come out of the proverbial closet and celebrate their diversity of thought in an environment that is now actively seeking it. We can only hope this emphasis on diversity and inclusion takes off across the…

Voting early is a bad idea

If you voted when early voting started, you missed Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s death, a new Supreme Court nominee, and now Donald Trump getting COVID. What if Donald Trump dies? Heck, what if Joe Biden dies? There’s so much that can still happen between now and the election. What if one of them died and you didn’t like the replacement. Especially if you voted for the one who passed away. You would have wasted your vote, and you couldn’t get it back. There’s simply no reason to vote early. It eats away at our system and makes for voters who…

Proud boys

Boy, do I feel silly. All this time, I thought the Proud Boys were a gay men’s organization. Looks like I was off a bit on that one. Turns out it’s a white supremacist organization with a black international leader, Enrique Tarrio, and a noteworthy number of black members. They must be the self-loathing blacks that some people study. (I just saw a headline that reads “Black leader insists Proud Boys are not white supremacists… I guess this is where we are in the “age of science.”) It’s a good thing I have a reliable media to help me…

Early voting bites Biden

On Thursday, the Biden campaign made the decision to start doing door-to-door campaigning in some of the key battleground states. Up until now, they had been resisting it based largely on COVID fears. Ironically, it’s also the Democrats and the Biden campaign who have always supported early voting and have been telling people to get out and vote as early (and often) as possible. Looks like they created a situation in which they may be too late. On paper, the election is November 3, but if you’ve already voted, the election already happened.

Who’s the boss?

One thing I think many Americans forget is that we’re the boss. The people in government: the President, Congress, the courts, the bureaucrats, the agencies, all of ’em… they all report to us. They all work for us. Government is accountable to the American people. Sometimes we forget that. We think we’re electing people who are going to solve all of our problems. They’re going to take care of us. They may give us some of our own earned money back. Or, maybe they’ll redistribute it to others. The people running for office want in, and they’ll say anything…

OK, I’ll write about the debate

We don’t usually do much commenting on the news here because there are plenty of sites that do that. The only time we do is when we have a take that is different than anything we’ve seen elsewhere. And so it is with the first presidential debate. We had two reactions that we’ve not seen anywhere else, but are arguably more important. First, President Trump should have opened the debate by saying the following: “My fellow Americans. Tonight, I’m going to be saying a lot of things you’re probably going to be hearing for the first time. You’ll be…

Difference between a bull and a china shop

There’s a difference between being a bull in a china shop and just being a bull. President Trump is a bull. He’s confident, certain, and unafraid. He believes in what he thinks is right, he loves this country, and he’s going to do what he thinks is right for it. Unfortunately, thanks to the evolution in our education system over the last 20 years, he’s now living in a china shop of a country. While the United States used to be known for their confident, pioneering, there’s nothing we can’t do spirit, it’s now country founded on slavery. Liberals…

Who are conservatives?

Conservatives are pragmatists who follow politics. They live their life as best they know how. They’re good to their family and neighbors. They make decisions based on the evidence available, and they tend to be fairly logical, pragmatic, and long-term in their thinking. It doesn’t occur to them to think in demographic identity generalities the way the Democrat Party presents things. When dealing with someone, they just deal with them based on the information they’re given. Moderates are pragmatists who don’t follow politics. Like conservatives, moderates also live their life as best they can, making decisions based on the…

The diabolical Democrat strategy

Today I had an articulation. (When I have a revelation, it’s a new idea… a “eureka!” moment. But when I have an articulation, it’s when I finally am able to put words to vague idea that’s been rolling around in my head for awhile.) I finally figured out the diabolical, but impressively creative, Democrat strategy. They’ve been doing this in concentrated fashion for the last two or three years, though I think it’s been a vaguely coherent strategy for longer. In simple terms, they say things that are obvious to everyone, or that everyone does, like they don’t. They…

Breonna Taylor judgment underscores liberal emotional base

No one is surprised that the Breonna Taylor ruling lead to waves or protests. Those protests were pre-planned and set to role no matter what the verdict. To me, the takeaway is how much it underscores how much liberals are governed by emotion over fact. Contrary to the original narrative, the officers knocked, they announced themselves, and they only fired their guns after Taylor’s boyfriend shot first. She was not asleep, but she apparently was involved in laundering money for her ex-boyfriend, the drug dealer. So what? That’s the message from liberals. It doesn’t matter. They still feel really…
