After the scorching defeats suffered by the Democrats on November 2, it's time for a little self reflection and growing up. 

Despite what the media would have us believe, the world isn't in the worst crisis ever. We have problems that need to be dealt with but there's nothing to be afraid of - except fear itself.

Harris has the power - and the duty - to begin the process of invoking the 25th Amendment

It's time we let people speak for themselves instead of listening to the self appointed attention seeking SJWs who have no real right to speak on the behalf of others.

What you will never find is your self worth in the approval of those who have no reason to give it. What you will find is that as your confidence increases with practice, your self worth increases because you are accomplishing your goal - and not because someone else happened to notice you.

We're the only nation on Earth with anything like the First Amendment that protects the rights of everyone to speak their own minds. If we don't live up to that standard, no one else will. The results will look a lot like what happens when nation-states become socialist - it's all fun and games until the economy craters and there's no way to bring it back. The empty toilet paper aisles are nothing...

Politics are slow and messy - and that beats the heck out of fast and deadly. It takes time to straighten out a government that has lost its collective mind - but Americans were on that job from Day One. And we aren't going to stop until we have secured our rights and taken out the trash that would restrict our rights.

Harris has an unprecedented opportunity - she is VP to a complete incompetent in the legal sense of incompetent.

The Democrats are in a precarious position between an insane but influential wing of the party that has been allowed far too much leeway to be reined in now and an increasingly disgruntled base. That the Democrats even entertained, let alone tried to enact, a policy that attacks the union membership, is convincing proof that the leadership is not only out of touch, it's lost the whole plot.

Truth is, the Democrats already committed political suicide - the party is just taking its time dying. This is nothing new - it's called a party system shift. Occasionally, one or both parties collapse - this is why none of us are Whigs. It's not a pleasant thing - especially if your party is collapsing - but it's far from the end of the world.

Like it or not, we are the new sheriff in town

That's the incredible value of the 'free marketplace of ideas'. It let's us take them for a test drive, see what works and what doesn't, tinker with them a bit and then either drive them home - or test out a newer model. Some, like the need for freedom and justice, we keep under the hood all the time. Others, like ducking under the covers every time other nation-states say boo, we have mostly disc...

. It's never easy to own a mistake - when that's a political mistake that cost hundreds of thousands of people their jobs NO ONE wants to admit to that. Ever. The media provided the hype to cover the lack of good research and the absolute trash of public health response; politicians doubled down on failed policies in order to look like they were getting something done.

No popular support, no effective support in the courts, no real support in either House of Congress - the only thing this administration has going for it right now is occupancy.

The current administration claims that only about 100 Americans are still in Afghanistan and in hiding. Rescue organizations on the ground place the number near to 1000. Which estimate is correct is immaterial - the question is what is being done by the Biden administration to secure the safe return of the Americans the administration stranded behind enemy lines?

Has anyone else noticed that the science ceased to matter about five months ago? It's not coincidental that this sudden shift away from 'follow the bouncing science' occurs just as the first indications were coming out that there were major problems with the vaccine

It's people - not governments and corporations - that matter and it's people who can and will change things.

From a public health policy standpoint this entire set of interventions have been a fiasco - what happens when they come to an end?

The Secretary of Homeland Security made some extremely embarrassing admissions - why are we tolerating this level of incompetence?

We made it through a civil war, two world wars and the Seventies but can we survive three more years of Biden?

Nine months in the Biden administration has nothing to show for its efforts other than failure on an epic scale.
