It must be hard being Trump. Today Trump agreed to a short-term, stop-gap plan that would fund the government for 3 weeks. After which time we will basically be back at square one for another fight over the border wall. Immediately, what were suppose to be Trump allies such as Ann Coulter and Lou Dobbs railed against the president. Lou Dobbs proclaimed on his nightly show that Trump “got rolled” by Pelosi. Later in the…

It appears as though the tactics of popular social media companies have started to rub off on Nancy Pelosi. After originally agreeing to allow the State of the Union Address, Pelosi recently said she would not invite or allow the President into the House chambers to deliver the speech. Her reason was the government shutdown, but the real reason is obviously to deny Trump a chance to deliver his message on border security directly to…

The Democratic party appears to be in complete shambles and without any real leadership. This past weekend, President Trump made an offer to Democrats that would bring an end to the government shutdown. It required funding for the border wall but also made sizable concessions to Democrats by providing for things they have championed, such as relief for so called “dreamers”. Trump has also toned down his threat of using a national emergency in order…

Trump struck back and Nancy Pelosi in what was probably the first time she has been denied anything in the last few decades. Her scheduled trip abroad was abruptly cancelled by Trump due to the government shutdown. Of course, the media jumped at the chance to attack Trump over what they called a “juvenile” and petty tactic. But once again they failed to see what Trump was really doing. Trump was calling attention to two…

It’s less than two weeks and the new crop of Democratic “rockstar” congresswomen are already making fools of themselves. It’s starting to look like Congressional freshman like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Rashid Tlaib are not yet ready for prime-time. In the period of a week, both have made glaring gaffs and controversial statements that had they happened a few years ago, would probably be disqualifying. But with the current mainstream media protecting them, they are avoiding…

Heading into the 3rd week of the government shutdown over border wall funding, I think it would be wise to see who has the edge in the current negotiations between Trump and the Democrats. It may seem like a total deadlock, but there are three factors which give Trump and his supporters a slight edge. So let’s take a look at the three big reasons Trump has a political advantage in this deal. And just…

Well, it happened yet again and politicians still haven’t learned this simple lesson. When you go on TV immediately after the President, you will always look like a runner-up, a second fiddle. It’s just a fact of life and a case of basic showmanship. It’s simply the imagery of the whole event. Last night, Trump took to the national airwaves to argue his case for the border wall. There he was, sitting behind the historic…

It’s 2019 and Ben Shapiro’s first podcast of the year started off much like it did towards the end of last year. After spending the first few minutes of his podcast pretending that he uses the product he happens to be advertising, he then quickly moved on to his favorite target – Attacking Trump’s Tweets. This seems to be something Shapiro is very hung up on. He even has a special vocal impersonation of Trump…

With the newly elected Democratic majority set to take over the House, we have to think about whether or not they plan on launching a pointless impeachment proceeding against President Trump as one of their first orders of business. Most pundits seem to believe that since an impeachment will not make it through the Republican held Senate, that Democrats won’t bother setting themselves up to fail as it makes no political sense to do so….

While the departure of General Mattis as Secretary of Defense came as a shock, looking back it shouldn’t have really been a surprise at all. Most recently, Mattis had publicly defied Trump on the issue of sending troops to meet the migrant caravan at our southern border. Almost any statement Trump would make regarding the use of the military to secure the border was met by a significant walking back by Mattis, who opposed the…
