Axios has a scoop: the Biden administration is exploring options to recognize a Palestinian state unilaterally, fundamentally changing the balance of power in the immediate region. Think about that for a moment: it would be the single greatest victory in the history of using terrorism to shift the political balance of power in history. In […]
Alternate histories are always speculative, so I cannot prove my assertion. But let’s face it, most rational people know–even if they won’t admit it–that Biden has been extraordinarily weak when it comes to foreign policy. Even in Ukraine, where he has the best claim to being assertive in his foreign policy, Biden’s evident weakness in […]
Last month I wrote about an ongoing debate over what had been dubbed the “vibecession.” The basic idea is that as inflation came down to more manageable levels people’s feelings about the economy (as measured in polls and consumer confidence indicators) didn’t seem to be improving much. It was as if consumer sentiment had become […]
It’s kind of interesting watching the dynamics play out on a national stage right now, and – even though I finally busted outta this joint for a little break – I was still watching the returns from Iowa up at Brother Bingley’s house.

I’ll just tell you flat out – I’ll be damned if I know where he’s going with this. As if his New Year’s slap at “MAGA-extremists” in an official White House holiday greeting wasn’t disgraceful and tawdry enough, now he’s going to fling more invective fuel on the fire at one of America’s most iconic […]
Back in February of 2021, Joe Biden removed the designation of Ansarallah, colloquially known as the Houthis, as terrorists. Biden did so, one might suspect, because it was Donald Trump who had made the designation, and all things Trump are bad. Fast forward to January 24th, 2024, and the United States is gearing up for […]
This NBC News article is not an opinion piece so far as I can tell. Titled “5 twists that could upend Democrats’ best-laid plans for the 2024 election,” it’s intended to be a combination of prognostication and analysis, but the framing of the piece is clearly one-sided. It might as well be headlined ‘How Democrats Could […]
