What are they thinking?

Our culture. The media. Democrat politicians and mouthpieces... They'd have you believe conservatives are white supremacist, racist, bigoted, homophobic, sexist, and inhuman. On purpose. But conservatives walk among you. You're probably friends with one. Who are they? What do they think? And why do they think it?

#33: "Owning the libs" 12.04.2025

Send us Fan Mail As a conservative, one of the more frustrating aspects of MAGA is their raw desire to celebrate "destroying" a lib by saying something harsh or brutal to them. Sure, on a human and visceral level, it may feel good to say something mean to someone or to "own" them. But that doesn't bring people in or invite them to understand what we're doing or why. I...

#32: The frustrating thing about Trump and MAGA... for conservatives 12.04.2025

Send us Fan Mail One thing we can all agree on with Trump is that he frustrates everyone - even conservatives. Just not in the same way. As the head of the Republican Party, Trump represents all Republicans and conservatives - whether they like it or not. And many don't. Here's a few reasons why. Be kind. Have grace. Give the benefit of the doubt. Seek common ground. Don't be afraid...

#31: Job searching, recruiters, and the importance of feedback 12.04.2025

Send us Fan Mail Job hunting can be soul-crushing, depressing, and stressful. Especially if you don't have a job or are walking a financial tightrope. If you're lucky to get interviews, but you keep missing the goal line, you're left wondering what you could have done differently. Recruiter feedback could help people improve their chances and get the job. But they just won't gi...

#29: Discussing politics in a productive way 27.01.2025

Send us Fan Mail “Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people. “ – Eleanor Roosevelt Let's talk about how this could be the recipe for getting closer to unity in this country. Be kind. Have grace. Give the benefit of the doubt. Seek common ground. Don't be afraid to ask questions. And never make assumptions about what people are thinking... or why.

#30: Choose your own election 27.01.2025

Send us Fan Mail We all have politicians that we wonder how in the world they keep getting elected. Well, I think I have the solution. We need to institute my new "Choose your own election" plan.  It'll make all of this so much more exciting. Be kind. Have grace. Give the benefit of the doubt. Seek common ground. Don't be afraid to ask questions. And never make assumptions abou...

#28: The real definition of "fascism" - the opposite of small government conservatism 16.01.2025

Send us Fan Mail Democrats have been calling Republicans "fascists" for as long as I've been paying attention to politics.  But what does fascism really mean? And how can you call people who believe in limited government fascists?  Be kind. Have grace. Give the benefit of the doubt. Seek common ground. Don't be afraid to ask questions. And never make assumptions about what peop...

#26: Why conservatives are more informed 16.01.2025

Send us Fan Mail Conservatives are more informed because they have to be. Our entire culture is inundated with liberal ideas, doctrine, and thinking. And like everyone else, conservatives see it all the time. But what conservatives do that others don't is seek out the other side. They find other news sources that tell you what leftist media will not. So they know both sides. They have to be t...

#27: The frustration of being a conservative 16.01.2025

Send us Fan Mail There are so many reasons why being a conservative is an act of frustration - from having no political party that represents you to just wanting to be left alone, free of those who want to control everything.  Here's a partial list of why being a conservative can be hard on your psyche. Be kind. Have grace. Give the benefit of the doubt. Seek common ground. Don't be afra...

#25: Republicans aren't assholes... and that's the problem 05.01.2025

Send us Fan Mail Republicans have never fought for or even articulated conservatism in any meaningful way. They're too soft and timid. Always have been. And that's the problem. We have Trump because he was the first person to fight for America. Or to come close to fighting for conservatism (usually by accident, but he still did a better job than Republicans). Be kind. Have grace. Give th...

#24: Why our system will never work (or Making the Case for God) 05.01.2025

Send us Fan Mail Taking a simple look at how our system has evolved from the simplicity of representing your community to getting rich off the citizens, perhaps people just can't have any form of government.  God warned us about our need for kings. But sometimes, we just need to learn the hard way. Be kind. Have grace. Give the benefit of the doubt. Seek common ground. Don't be afraid to...

#23: The time to start the conservative third party is now 30.12.2024

Send us Fan Mail There's already a third party in America, and it's united by the citizen's disgust for our corrupt politicians.  Trump is doing a good job of bringing that to a head, but he's temporary, and he has no political philosophy. Meanwhile, there are more people, united by this disgust, who live like conservatives, whether they know it or not. The time is now to defin...

#22: Why this show is crucial to the conservative movement 22.12.2024

Send us Fan Mail There are plenty of shows that argue the conservative position on any given bill or policy. They interview other Republicans or conservatives to argue against what some leftist said. They point out why we're right and they're wrong. But no one in the conservative movement - except for maybe Prager U - comes close to just explaining who conservatives are and why they thin...

#21: Democrats - Sinister or Stupid? 22.12.2024

Send us Fan Mail Sarah Huckabee Sanders almost stumbled upon it in a speech she gave a year or two ago: "Normal or crazy." But Republicans need to go on offense and start branding the Democrats. The obvious solution is to give people a choice when considering Democrat policy initiatives: Are they sinister or stupid? Be kind. Have grace. Give the benefit of the doubt. Seek common ground....

#20: Trump's 16D chess? 22.12.2024

Send us Fan Mail Following my podcast on the Trump phenomenon, I focus on potentially the most frustrating aspect of Trump for conservatives - his support for Republicans conservatives know to be RINOs while he works to destroy real conservatives. For example, if Trump was inevitable in 2024, why did he work to destroy DeSantis? Why didn't he just beat him and move on? Whatever the case, this...

#19: The definitive, long-awaited dissection of the Trump, MAGA, and conservative phenomenon 21.12.2024

Send us Fan Mail People have been trying to understand the Trump dynamic for some time, and I still don't think anyone has gotten it completely right. So here you go. This is THE definitive explanation of the Trump phenomenon. Much longer than usual - or intended - but necessarily so to be complete and thorough in presentation. Hopefully, it will help unify everyone around the goal of doing o...

#18: I don't think RINO means what it used to 23.11.2024

Send us Fan Mail RINO - Republican in Name Only - used to mean Republicans who voted with the left. But I'm not sure it means what people think it does anymore. Be kind. Have grace. Give the benefit of the doubt. Seek common ground. Don't be afraid to ask questions. And never make assumptions about what people are thinking... or why.

#17: Don't celebrate when leftists leave X - encourage them to stay 15.11.2024

Send us Fan Mail There's been a lot of "in your face" celebrating on X. It's not just MAGA who's happy Trump won. They're making a point of sticking it to the left. Understandable. The left has been metaphorically, and sometimes literally, punching conservatives and MAGA in the face for years. So a little payback is not surprising. But let's not become what we ju...

#16: Voting... ya gotta want it 03.11.2024

Send us Fan Mail What if there were no "get out of the vote" drives? What if we just left it to those who knew there was an election coming up to vote? Because if you don't know there's an election, you probably shouldn't be voting anyway. Be kind. Have grace. Give the benefit of the doubt. Seek common ground. Don't be afraid to ask questions. And never make assumptio...

#15: The campaign that eludes the Republican Party... again 29.10.2024

Send us Fan Mail There's such a simple way to illustrate the unfairness of illegal immigration, and of course, the Republican Party (with the worst marketing department in the history of marketing departments) can't figure it out. Well, here it is. This one's a freebie. On me. Be kind. Have grace. Give the benefit of the doubt. Seek common ground. Don't be afraid to ask questio...

#14: How to build a thriving city 28.10.2024

Send us Fan Mail Everyone knows the amazing stories of how San Francisco and Seattle have become two of the most thriving cities in the country. This is the story of how Seattle has done it and what you have to look forward to in your own city... if you're not careful. Be kind. Have grace. Give the benefit of the doubt. Seek common ground. Don't be afraid to ask questions. And never make...

#13: Barking dogs and liberals 04.10.2024

Send us Fan Mail Barking dogs... everyone's heard 'em. Everyone's probably lived near one. And you can't blame the dog. Barking is what they do. I think most conservatives would blame the owner. And the owner should be doing something about it. In most of Iceland, it's legal to shoot your neighbor's dog if it's barking. Is that the right thing?  Be kind. Have gra...

#12: The GOP - The worst marketing department in the history of marketing departments 03.10.2024

Send us Fan Mail The Republican Party has the worst marketing department in the history of marketing departments. But ironically, they are trying to sell the best product in the history of products: Freedom. How can this be? Be kind. Have grace. Give the benefit of the doubt. Seek common ground. Don't be afraid to ask questions. And never make assumptions about what people are thinking... or...

#11: Battling corruption: The Republican winning message 02.10.2024

Send us Fan Mail If we don't all realize fast that it's the corruption of the government... the whole government... Democrats and Republicans alike, we're done. We're on an unsustainable trajectory, and we need to start taking back our country from all of the corruption. However seizes the message first... and means it, can and should win. Here's what this conservative is...

#10: Suburu - The car built for leftists? 01.10.2024

Send us Fan Mail No matter where you are, if you get caught behind a Suburu driver, get ready to go 10mph under the speed limit.  But at least you'll get to read their 30 liberal bumper stickers. Why is this? Be kind. Have grace. Give the benefit of the doubt. Seek common ground. Don't be afraid to ask questions. And never make assumptions about what people are thinking... or why.

#9: Whattaya gonna do about it? (The Democrat Party Platform?) 29.09.2024

Send us Fan Mail For the last few years, the Democrat Party has brazenly been sticking it to Americans - punching them in the metaphorical face, standing over them, and defiantly asking, "What're you gonna do about it?" And, as usual, the Republican answer has been a sheepish and meek... nothing. So... what are we gonna do about it? Be kind. Have grace. Give the benefit of the doubt...
