EXCLUSIVE: Dana Loesch Provides Correspondence Contradicting Former "Hey Dude" Star's Claim She Approached Him
Paul Guyot is a Hollywood film and television producer & writer, best known for his incredible work on the blockbuster film, Geostorm, which lost somewhere between $50-$100 million and sports a 13% rating at Rotten Tomatoes (don’t worry, the fans liked it more where it topped out a 38%.) Recently, Paul decided to tweet what he alleges took place some ten years ago between himself | Read More » → Read More

Journalist Attacks Shooting Victim for Betraying Victim Narrative
Colton Haab is a student at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, the location of last week’s deadly shooting rampage by deranged psychopath, 19-year-old Nikolas Cruz. Haab is a second lieutenant in the Junior ROTC program at the school and, as one of the victims of the attack, and as of just a few days ago, he was being hailed as heroic and forward-thinking. As CNN | Read More » → Read More
Do Union Bosses Care About Workers?
One of partisan talking points I’ve always objected to is the notion that labor unions are these ethically pure players; that unlike evil, nasty corporations or groups like the NRA, unions and union leadership represent and advocate purely for the interests of working people, not themselves as institutions and interest groups in their own right. Conservatives, and to be fair plenty of liberals… → Read More

Don't Let Desire for Tax Reform Create Sneaky New Tax Hikes
There is a big focus on tax reform in this country right now, and the GOP is gearing up for the show next week. Part of that is simply the desire of national GOP leaders and the White House to distract from other policy failures. But part of it is the country’s real thirst for changes in both how we administer taxation, and the specific | Read More » → Read More
Rep. Bill Shuster Continues His Cronyism
I’ve been critical of Rep. Bill Shuster’s air traffic control “privatization” plan, most recently adopted as a pet project of Gary Cohn. A true privatization would have its merits but the bottom line with this one is it’s being pursued by a Transportation Committee Chairman who is in a long-term romantic relationship with the chief corporate backer of the plan’s chief lobbyist. Set aside all |… → Read More

The Republican Party Must Look at Donald Trump as Their Opponent
There are more than enough people this week offering insight and analysis on the Pelosi-Schumer-Trump deal and how it undercut Republicans; I don’t think adding to the chorus of “what an amazing turn of events” columns would be a really groundbreaking point of view to share this morning. On the other hand, I don’t want to be completely unhelpful, so I figured I’d write an open | Read More » → Read More

Wait, ARE Conservative Principles a Joke?
Principled conservatism and constitutionalism are inseparable. Being a principled conservative simply means you fight for the ideas of our founding. Ideas that did, in many cases, not fully materialize until much later when slavery was abolished in the 1860s. And again, when American exceptionalism began to take hold in the 1950s & in the 1960s when the Civil Rights movement worked to ensure all… → Read More

Antifa is Frankenstein’s Monster for the Left
In recent years, with the rise of the alt-right, Donald Trump, and a million other people and groups to despise on the political right, “Frankenstein’s Monster” is often bandied about to explain why no one has sympathy for, say, a Trump critic like myself. Having spent years engaging in hyper-partisanship, I helped create the monster, so while I’m welcome to participate in undoing the damage, I… → Read More
