The system grants an incoming, newly elected (or freshly reelected) Executive Team a mere 1,461 days to execute the agenda promised (or carefully hidden) during the campaign. The intelligent and prideful ones know that the results and corresponding impacts on American society and life over the coming years will properly mark their place in history …
‘The (True) Maverick We Have’ – Pit Strategy, Polls, and the Tide before the Tuesday Debate
The late race dynamics we are living through today reminds me of a post I made in another neighborhood back when I was cheerleading from my keyboard for Fred Thompson to be the Republican nominee for President. Back then I was a fan of a wonderful national sport that was loosely based on the concept …
The Prideless Candidate Model of the American Left
From Merriam-Webster: Proud – 1. showing pride. 2. marked by stateliness. 3. raised above a surrounding area A few weeks back I posted “Bad Faith Governance and the (Intentional) Absence of the Proud Executive” to point out that our current Chief Executive (in name only) fails on all three points: I return to the topic tonight …

Opportunity Costs and Impact of Pseudo-Event Manipulation of the Economy (or Economic Reporting) on the Arc of American History
Well, now that I have a title, let’s see where this goes… Never content to operate within the boundaries of legitimate and fact-based domains regarding politics and associated discourse (note…everything is politics) – because, of course, the intellectually bankrupt nature of their entire worldview shines too bright against basic, honest Americanism in such environments – …
Bad Faith Governance and the (Intentional) Absence of the Proud Executive
Between late 2021 and mid 2023 I posted five times documenting my takes on bad faith governance by Team FJB and others in and around the halls of corruption inside our ruling beltway: Bad Faith Governance on Collision Course With the Voluntary Compact Bad Faith Governance and More Symptoms of the Great Unraveling Bad Faith …

Across Two Administrations – Tariff Duties Versus the Narrative
This one got buried on my desktop for a couple of weeks, but I still think it is worth posting: I will admit up front that I have been quite entertained (many giggles) several times over the last year or so by those who – either by honest ignorance or within their on-line character as …

‘The Maverick We Have’ – An Open Letter about the Undecided and Independent Voters in the Crowd
As posted on the legacy site last Saturday: To be clear from the start, the high inflation, border crisis, war brewing on three fronts (all by design) world of corruption (to the core) that I now observe from this keyboard leaves me with very little “give a $&!#” about the “no mean tweets!” crowd. So, …
The Great Unraveling – Undefined ‘Hope and Change’ End Game Goes Hot
Yes, there is certainly unrestrained celebration tonight over at the Obama compound…for today we are witnessing the beginning of the end of our paid-in-advance subscription to undefined “Hope and Change.” Even most of the true believers back then never dared to dreamed of anything more than permanent radical Left/Progressive governance. The unraveling of the American …

The Intellectually Unserious Era in America – Little Giggles as the Death Spiral Begins to Tighten
It is getting hard and harder to laugh these days. But not totally impossible. The local morning sports radio guys really got me this week with something along the lines of: “Mickey Mouse’s lawyer told him that he cannot divorce Minnie just because she is crazy. Mickey replied that he did not say she was …
Fruit of a Poisonous Narrative – Uncovering the Hidden Path to Cultivated Mass Delusional Hysteria
The following was posted on the legacy site earlier today. Some of the links are to member only content over there but I still want to cross post it here for more permanent documentation. This week I was, yet again, reminded of the days when we were frequently treated to near constant anti-intellectual yet nearly …
