06 Nov Rubio’s Finances
What a crazy week. Jeb Bush sets out to reset his failing $120 million campaign, and does so by taking on not Barack Obama, not Hillary Clinton, not Bernie Sanders, and not Donald Trump ...
05 Nov Some Hope for the Cause of Life
There are fair reasons to be disappointed with the pro-life movement in this great country of ours. The movement has often lacked strategy. It isn't unfair to say it has often favored piety over technique. Too often, it has relied on politics...
28 Oct The Moderators Get Slapped, and Rubio Shines
I will start by saying that those critical of the moderators and the format were not exaggerating - it was simply atrocious. Amateur hour. I really cannot believe this format and preparation was allowed to go live. I don't care so much...
26 Oct Marco Rubio, Donald Trump, Ben Carson, and the Race to Beat Hillary
I would agree with the pundits that Hillary had a good week last week. She avoided any temper tantrum moments last week in the Benghazi hearing, the Biden announcement of a no-run likely means Obama is not sabotaging her behind the scenes, and leftist...
16 Sep The Round Two Winner is …
Look, I don't really have the energy to do a good job reviewing tonight's 3.5 hour debate, because, well, I just got done watching a 3.5 hour debate. I guess 3.5 hours of debate beats 3.5 weeks of non-stop Fed/interest rate talk, but I...

30 Aug The GOP and China
So a not surprising thing has happened in response to the reality TV star dominating the news in the GOP primary, but also in response to recent economic volatility around China and their growth slowdown. In fact, it happens every election cycle on the...
21 Aug Tapping into Something Serious: Tales of a Carnival Barker
I can handle a guy like Sean Hannity and a gal like Ann Coulter uttering the new stock answer all conservative talk radio types feel compelled to utter, but when the hyper-brilliant Mark Steyn said the same thing the other night, I knew the world...
07 Aug Debate #1 Comes and Goes: Two Tiers Emerge
There is a sense where I am less excited for this coming election cycle than I have ever been - there are candidates I just KNOW can and will beat Hillary Clinton, and there are candidates I just KNOW cannot - and yet I am...
13 Jul Donald Trump’s Accidental Contribution to the Cause
Sometimes folks on the "kooky" right (I won't use the term "far" right, because it begs the question about what is "truly right", and it seems geographically and geometrically confused) can force some serious head-scratching out of those of us trying to change the world,...
