Steve Bannon and the Million Dollar Question
For those of you who have not yet seen the news, there is a bombshell of a story developing. It's the distancing of the Mercers from Steve Bannon. As I wrote a few weeks ago in my post Bannon's Braggadocio, it's one thing for someone like Steve Bannon to boast about how many Republicans he is going to take out in primaries.

#Winning in Texas
Something big happened in Texas today. The Speaker of the House, Joe Straus, announced he is stepping down after this term. Why is this so important? Well, let's start at the beginning.

The definition of words and terms is everything in our modern culture. I mean it. I feel as if multiple times a day I have to stop conversations and ask the person I am chatting with to define what he or she meant by X or Y. Shared meaning and definition are absent in our world today and we are the worse for it. Gone are bright lines and in their place, muddled gray. So when I saw the article… → Read More
Sal DiCiccio for the Win!
It's a race a lot of people outside of Arizona were not paying attention to. Doubtless because it was written off as, → Read More

We live in a culture where the clear line that should exist between right and wrong has been blurred and culture has trouble calling anything → Read More
Did GOP Leadership Consult Conservatives?
There is a lot of buzz on the Hill today and it starts with the question: Did the GOP Leadership, lead by Paul Ryan, even consult with conservatives before writing Ryancare? I'm sure they did talk to everyone. But there's a difference between → Read More
