Hard-Boiled Tales of Resistance

Democrats’ idea of “resistance” to Trump is considerably less substantial than actual resistance to fascism looked like during World War II. And it probably shouldn’t have started with a unanimous vote for neoconservative maniac Marco Rubio.

To the Barricades for Beleaguered Bureaucrats!

As Elon Musk’s DOGE cost-cutting brigade ordered mass layoffs and targeted entire agencies, Democrats who tried to use the cuts to rally Americans may have been surprised to learn that the trials and tribulations of bureaucrats don’t resonate with voters who don’t understand what bureaucrats do in the first place.

The Outsourcing of Politics

In many countries, politics happens 365 days a year. Citizens hold their governments’ feet to the fire when they’re unhappy. Not so in the United States. We outsource politics to the politicians and check in every two to four years to see how they’ve been doing.

Never Forget

Israelis are taught to “never forget” the Holocaust. In the case of Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu and his right wing followers, however, they seem to have taken genocide as something to emulate rather than to avoid.

A Democrat Would Never Do This

Even if you didn’t vote for Donald Trump and you hate his guts, you have to be jealous of how much he’s doing so quickly. Liberal Democrats can’t even imagine one of their presidents leaping into action like this.

Democrats’ Work Is Done

As the DNC met to elect a new chairman, attendees admitted that the Democratic Party doesn’t have a message. If they had a message, they don’t know what it would say or to whom it would be delivered. Nor do they have a charismatic leader in the wings who might be able to articulate that message.

Elon Musk on the Rampage

DOGE leader Elon Musk is gutting government agencies, including US-AID. Why do so many liberals and Democrats seem to get more agitated about Trump’s war on DC bureaucrats than capitalism’s longstanding war against ordinary Americans?

First Meeting of the Resistance

Donald Trump and the Republicans are unleashing a tsunami of extremist executive orders and policy changes. But the Democrats who one would normally expect to lead the resistance are not reacting, explaining that they are in “wait and see mode” because they are still despondent about the election results.

Not-So-Civil Service

Donald Trump offered a bullying buyout offer to 2.3 million federal workers that strongly implied that they might lose their jobs unless they take it. On the other hand, he also announced that he is expanding the Guantánamo concentration camp to house 30,000 migrants.
