It doesn’t matter if the FBI investigation was a sham. It doesn’t change the fact he was confirmed by the Senate. The ONLY Constitutional way to reverse that confirmation is through impeachment. PERIOD! To impeach a Supreme Court Justice, it’s the same thing as if you were to impeach the President. You need 2/3rds of the Senate to remove him.

Few governments in this world are trusted. People aren’t stupid. They know history. They know governments have a bad track record of telling the truth and tend to cover facts up that are inconvenient. Again that’s not conspiracy theory or misinformation. It is historical fact that governments lie pathologically. Did the US government suddenly sto…[Read more]

Thing is, I don’t believe that Trump is or was ever anti-vax. He pushed for a vaccine. He got vaccinated himself. He encouraged people to get it. Even in Florida, DeSantis himself got vaccinated and told people to get it.

The difference is that most conservatives believe vaccination should be an individual choice. While liberals favor a more…[Read more]

COVID is a coronavirus. And many viruses in this family have a tendency to mutate often. Anyone who thinks we can 100% vaccinate the world and the virus will disappear is sort of living in dreamland. That’s not going to happen. Even with very high vaccine rates, we will be dealing with COVID for many years and even decades to come. That’s just…[Read more]

Inflation is happening. But it’s not rising wages that’s causing it.

That’s why people who say this is another bubble that will pop any day are wrong this time. This blowup in home pricing is driven by different forces than it was last time in 2008.

There has also recently been shortages in building supplies due to the pandemic that have further slowed down construction and increasing construction costs. This is a…[Read more]

That’s a big part of the problem. Both the Dems and GOP see the racial debate as a winning issue. Democrats fully 100% believe identity politics helps them at the ballot box. And the GOP feels it helps them with their base when the Dems do this.

Regardless of who it helps more is beside the point. The problem is the motivation is political gain r…[Read more]

Unfortunately this kind of thing isn’t uncommon at various times in the former Soviet republics. And even happened within the Soviet Union back in the day. Exports in a region would be more economically beneficial to export rather than supply the population.

Ukraine is also a VERY corrupt country. I mean all governments are corrupt to some…[Read more]

The problem with CRT, or at least it’s current interpretation in the mainstream today, is divides people based on skin color. It suggests that all white people are privileged or at least beneficiaries of racial injustice throughout American history. And all black people are oppressed and have no chance of success or advancement under the current…[Read more]

I don’t particularly like how the racial angle is being tossed around on this. It’s almost like unintentionally perpetuating a popular racial stereotype that black people are more likely to do drugs than white people. Even though it’s true the drug war tends to target minorities more than whites, I’m not sure this particularly applies in this…[Read more]

That’s the typical cycle. If you just look at history alone, the Democrats are going to face a headwind next year. And so far, there is no reason to think the cycle will play out any different.

The president’s party has lost seats in every mid-term election (except for two) going back to the 1940s.  And usually on average it’s around a 35-seat…[Read more]

The parties just change and morph and mutate into different things to whatever works. They are not static entities. They are very different than they were 100 years ago. Heck they are different now than they were 20 years ago.

The fan fled the scene after the crash and police are searching for her. They do plan to charge her.

I believe the issue is that both parties sort of have for many years a tacit understanding and agreement to not rock the boat, so to speak. In other words, there are disagreements on certain social issues and there disagreements on the way things should be done. And we can fight over those things. But overall, the political elites and the…[Read more]

He claims if businesses require the vaccine that it will create a “two-tiered society” and eventually people won’t be able to go to school, get a job, or go to the store without submitting to vaccination.

Many conservatives feel the government is trying to use the private sector as a backdoor approach to mandate the vaccine and force vaccine…[Read more]

No chance in the Senate right now unless they nuke the filibuster. Even then I wouldnt be convinced there will be enough votes. Manchin is likely a no. Sinema hasn’t said anything about it. And Kelly has hinted he’s not in favor of it.

There is also constitutional questions that have not been fully evaluated or resolved. So some Senators are…[Read more]
