Discredit Where Discredit Is Due

By Dennis E. Powell | Jan 08, 2025 at 5:26 PM

We’re 12 days away from being rid of Bugout Joe Biden and his technocratic though dimwitted minions. As the coming months unfold and more and more institutions come to realize that backing the Biden organized crime family was not the smart play, we are likely to give thanks that Biden and his monkeys, well, bidened everything up. Their incompetence has been the country’s salvation.

Royko Gets His Wish

By Dennis E. Powell | Nov 06, 2024 at 9:46 PM

If you look around or listen, you’ll hear the newly minted cliché that the Democratic Party is now engaged in soul searching after it got hammered yesterday, top to bottom, by voters who did not like what it was selling.

But It Won't Be Over

By Dennis E. Powell | Oct 30, 2024 at 10:10 PM

If all goes well, we’ll awaken a week from today to the ghastly thought that we’ll be listening to that voice for the next four years. I say if all goes well, because if the election is as close as the predictors say it will be — sooner or later, just by chance, they will be right — this thing could drag on for months, or it could result in instant rioting. I say that voice because no one who should be allowed to run free can stand the sound of either of the presidential candidates.

We're Motivated, But Do We Know What Matters?

By Timothy R. Butler | Oct 30, 2024 at 10:03 PM

I wanted to vote early to avoid the crowds. I wanted to, but less than a week away from the election I haven’t. The crowds going to vote early dwarf what we normally deal with on Election Day.

Trump-Vance's Primrose Pro-Choice Path

By E. Ryan Haffner | Oct 02, 2024 at 10:39 PM

Let’s be clear: it’s either murder or it’s not. The problem with the Trump-Vance take on abortion is not its pro-life bent. No, it is pro-choice in a far less principled way than the pro-choice position itself is.

Blame Bill!

By Dennis E. Powell | Sep 18, 2024 at 11:35 PM

There was a time, children, when a presidential election involved a choice between serious people who offered plans, policy proposals, and philosophies.

Why I Don’t Make Swift Endorsements

By Timothy R. Butler | Sep 18, 2024 at 11:00 PM

Unless you live under a rock, you know that the second most anticipated endorsement of the presidential election finally happened: Taylor Swift endorsed Kamala Harris. Don’t hold your breath for the most anticipated: I won’t be making an endorsement. (And maybe you shouldn’t either.)

Cheers for X, Jeers for TikTok

By Timothy R. Butler | Sep 11, 2024 at 2:00 PM

Does this make me sound old? I don’t really care. The U.S. TikTok ban is spot on and the Brazilian X ban is not. No “back in my day” speech required.

NewsNation Rewinds to a Better News Era

By Timothy R. Butler | Sep 04, 2024 at 9:06 PM

After the long holiday weekend, the cable news talking heads returned to their flashy sets. One led with an impassioned speech about the horrors of the October 7 attack on Israel and the tragedy of the hostages killed this weekend — and didn’t immediately pivot to score a partisan point. That encapsulates upstart network NewsNation’s approach.

Amateur Hour Needs to End

By E. Ryan Haffner | Aug 28, 2024 at 11:32 PM

In Vice President Harris’s nomination speech, she labeled President Trump an “unserious man.” She was right, but she should know: she could wear the “unserious” label just fine herself.
