2026 Midterms: Ignorance In Action
The party in power usually faces an uphill battle in the midterms, but the Iran war appears to have exacerbated the trend.
Still, the results raise a question that goes beyond which party won or lost. Do voters actually understand what they're voting for?
Affordability—The Political Bigfoot
A crisis is 2008. A crisis is 2020. Mass unemployment, collapsing demand, shuttered businesses, and genuine economic paralysis.
We have the opposite. Unemployment is low, real consumption is up a trillion bucks, capital is flooding in, consumer confidence is rebounding, and poverty is at an all-time low. The only people calling this a crisis are the ones who need it to be one.
There's No Sacred Honor In Politics Anymore
Dems don’t give a damn about children. They just want to score points on the political football field. And that’s my problem with the Epstein saga. People are using innocent children to score points against a political opponent they don’t like. What happened to sacred honor? What happened to fighting battles mano-a-mano? Man to man. Leave the children out of it.
What Happened To THAT Jesse Jackson?
While we reflect on Jesse Jackson’s life and influence, we should remember that his mantra was incomplete. “Keep Hope Alive,” he would say. Hope in what? Hope in policy? Hope in influence? Hope in power? Hope in money? That kind of hope burns hot...like Hell.
The World Is A Stage and Everyone Is Method Acting
The world really is a stage now, and everyone is method acting. The audience is global. The spotlight is always on because the stage is digital. Call it whatever you want—social media, the Metaverse, the Matrix. It doesn’t matter. What matters is that millions of Americans are no longer living their lives. They’re performing their lives.
Republicants Are Losing Another PR Battle - A Tradition As American As Apple Pie
The law is in favor of the Trump Administration: ICE has the right to be in Minneapolis, the officer had the right to shoot Renee Good after being struck with her vehicle, while activists and agitators do not have the right to impede law enforcement. But for the general public, none of that matters. It’s all about how things look and how they feel. It’s a shame, but it is the political reality in 2026.
Why The GOP Should Embrace The Bourgeois Class
If the GOP wants to stay effective after Trump, it needs to remember an inconvenient truth about revolutions, reforms, and lasting political coalitions. These movements are rarely led by the poorest. They are led by the bourgeois.
Welcome to Massa's House, Nicki
Nicki Minaj has officially had her invitation to "the cookout" revoked. She has to join the rest of the "coons" in Massa's House. And all for expressing a little gratitude.
Bill Burr Accurately Describes Our Political Divide, By Accident
Bill Burr is correct about one thing—we should stop using outdated terms like liberal and conservative to divide us. But let's be honest here. Division is inevitable. The question should be, what's dividing us?
Could Brandon Johnson Keep JB Pritzker Out of The White House?
Illinois is no stranger to political drama. The latest soap opera features the ongoing rift between Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson and Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker, who is eyeing a run for The White House. But just like the streets on Wacker Drive, Pritzker's road to becoming the Democrat nominee in 2028 is filled with potholes that Johnson won't fix.
Real Justice Requires More Retribution
Thirty years ago, we had a better understanding of what justice is. Justice requires retribution. Criminals must pay for their actions. Murderers must pay for the blood they spill.
Chicago Is The Perfect City to Host The Democrat National Convention
