What the Hey is Going On? February 12, 2020
The plot against Americans in plain sight: Why is the stock market hitting new highs most every day? Why are the rich getting richer as a result? It’s very simple. Trump’s deficits are resulting in the Federal Reserve pumping huge amounts of new money into the system. (Where did you think the money was coming […]

Here we go again: The Democrats are at it again. Instead of sitting down in a quiet room and resolving their own differences, candidates are scratching at each other in public. Democrats don’t seek common ground they seek to grind the common good into a mush of pubic conflicts. The sure way to turn off […]

If you thought they looked like idiots yesterday …: Trump continues to make Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, Lamar Alexander and the rest of his enablers look like complete fools.

Sure, there were a few flareups. Sanders does not seem […]

Hey Susan and Lisa, has he learned his lesson? Will somebody please get the texts of Trumps remarks to Collins and Murkowski to show them how well he has learned his lesson. Both of their obits will start the same way – “here lies a fool and coward.” Let’s see a split screen of them […]

After a couple of dark What the Heys, its time for something on the brighter side. Americans Again: Sometimes all it takes is one man or woman with the courage to stand up for what they believe in and do what’s right.

Impotence and irrelevance on parade: The last four or five years have displayed the increasing impotence and irrelevance of the Democrats. The Obama administration ended with a whimper as it became clear that both he and Michelle saw themselves more as celebrities than architects of a new, revitalized Democratic Party. Nowhere was that more on […]

Yesterday brought some truly horrifying visions of the future. Americans hoping for a sea-change must be depressed. The brighter days ahead now seem overcast. The Iowa Democratic Party in on Putin’s Payroll: I know that sounds extreme, but it is the only plausible explanation that I could come up with. There is nothing more they […]

Today Iowans tell us what they’re thinking. The 2020 campaign has begun in earnest. It’s important to step back every once in a while and consider those broader trends within American politics – if for no other reason than to better understand the implications of what is happening day-to-day. So, here are a few things […]
