one lonely outpost in the ongoing war on intellectually dishonest narrative cultivation
I have referenced this early-January-2021 act of public fluffing from Forbes several times since then (here, here, and here for example) but I will reproduce is here once again for convenience: DISPATCHES FROM FORBES’ ‘CHIEF CONTENT OFFICER AND EDITOR’: Let it be known to the business world: Hire any of Trump’s fellow fabulists above, and …

Other than the largely ceremonial appointment to fill out the remainder of her late brother's term, this was never a good idea. After last night, case closed: South Carolina GOP Senate Runoff Debate Was Uncomfortable for Darline Graham I’m sure she is a very nice person. Mrs Graham likely has all the best intents and …
I repeat: Ultimately, [Cornyn] did not lose the Republican nomination because of the Trump endorsement…he lost it because he spent the better part of the last two decades with his nose so far up Mitch McConnell’s ass that he was more of a walking shit stain (by mass) than a man…let alone a Texas Republican. …

Failure Theater as orchestrated under the watchful eye of Mitch McConnell was a tired exercise by the end of 2012. It was just an oft repeated insult by 2014. (Never Forget Mississippi 2014!) It was during a Friday morning interview of Cornyn on a local AM radio program (The Mark Davis Show?) that summer that …

If only John Cornyn hadn't long ago opted for the Yellowstone-style brand on his chest to signal his forever allegiance to the McConnell Ranch...but he did, and today the accumulated sins of the Senator from Texas and the gang of Failure Theater chums he chose to associate with came home to roost in no small …
Several places in all of my writings I have mentioned how I hope that Mr. Obama has a very long, very healthy, and very vocal ex-presidency. I honestly mean that...he is the single best forcing function for shortening the time required for a proper sharpening of historical focus onto what impact his political life really …

I will just state up front that, consistent with every political fiber of my being since 2014, there is no possible circumstance imaginable under which John Cornyn ever gets a vote of mine. I also find it 'interesting' that this topic comes up during the same week history buries forever the 'help Iran get the …
Just putting a marker here for later discussion...but clearly, any result other than a move to a run-off after this week's Republican Primary for U.S Senate in Texas will be bad for the Save America Act. I'm not sure if anything can save the act at this point, but a clear win or a clear …
I mean no disrespect to the messenger from Powerline here but this - the more general phenomenon of acting as if the newly provided evidence was really necessary for those who were willing to see (i.e. not brain-dead Democrats and not delusional Never Trumpers of old) what was going on back then - comes across, …
More and more these days I am reminded of a very useful quote from a former White House intern: “If you want to know what power looks like, watch a man safely, even smugly, do interviews for decades, without ever worrying whether he will be asked the questions he doesn’t want to answer.” — Monica Lewinsky …
