Equal-opportunity complainer. All opinions are my own. So, too, are the bad jokes, pithy comments, and random musings. Слава Україні!

You know who's a "total squish?" The current GOP leader who spent like a drunken sailor, ran up debt, imposed tariffs, nationalized business, undermined NATO, cozied up to Putin, was staggeringly corrupt, and behaved like a coarse playboy. But sure, go off on Romney. How gutsy.
I voted for Romney but not enthusiastically. In hindsight I wish I had left it blank. Total squish.

Bad policy, bad character make bad politics: erratic tariffs, impulsive Iran war, blanket pardons, apparent corruption, weaponized justice, ICE brutality, mountainous deficits, hiding Epstein, abandoning allies and coddling enemies. Hoping for a course correction, for the country and for my party.

The last two elections have made me hopeful. Maybe that’s weird but it’s true. If you do dumb shit the median voter does not like that and will kick you out. This great American experiment of ours seems to be working fine. Onward.

Folks... 2028 starts today.
With the loss of governors races in Texas, Ohio and Georgia, there will be only one state of the top ten most populous states with a Republican governor: Florida.

You wanted Cornyn gone. You wanted Ernst gone. You wanted Collins gone. You wanted Tillis gone. You wanted Graham gone. You got your wishes, right-populists.

Trump asked Americans to vote like he was on the ballot, and we obliged.

Texas had a Senator, John Cornyn, who voted like 98% conservative. He had a history of winning his races by large margins. But online influencers and podcasters knew better and primaried him with Paxton. And now not only will Republicans lose a Senate seat, they may lose the governorship. Absolutely foolish. If you care about good, conservative policy, you should care about having candidates that can appeal to a large enough constituency so they can win.

Sure, Darline Graham is going to lose in South Carolina. But think about all the important things that Donald Trump achieved by endorsing her.
