The home of Uncommon Sense: Providing Clarity, Promoting Intelligence
Abject Cruelty
Let me begin by disclosing something about myself. I do not like George Soros. I consider him a monster. I think he is evil. I think he is wicked. I think he has spent many millions of dollars funding projects and people that wish to harm my country. George Soros is an old man. At […]
Trump’s Way of War by Victor Davis Hanson
War is the use of arms to settle differences—tribal, political, religious, cultural, and material—between organized groups. It is unchanging. The general laws of armed conflict stays immutable, given the constancy of human nature. However, the manner in which war is conducted remains fluid. New weapons, tactics, and strategies elicit counterresponses in an endless cycle of […]
Trump Derangement Syndrome Revisited
In the previous issue of Uncommon Sense (Issue 349), I offered a few observations about what has come to be known as Trump Derangement Syndrome. I suggested that TDS is not the same thing as reasoned disagreement over policy or character. It is something else entirely—less analysis, more emotional convulsion. In this issue (Issue 350), […]
Trump Derangement Syndrome is Real
Consider the meme I recently saw online which accompanies this article — imperfect, perhaps, but nonetheless illuminating. The meme depicts 4 relatively recent U.S. Presidents with an indication of two data-points: how many illegal alien deportations took place under each President along with how many protests/riots took place as a result of such deportations. President […]
“Can Men Get Pregnant?”
The quotation marks in my title are deliberate. They mirror the precise wording of a question posed by Senator Josh Hawley, R-MO, to a medical witness during a recent Senate hearing—a question he repeated a dozen times and never received a direct answer to. (Watch the Video Here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kJFuhgeNbSE). Whatever one thinks of Senator Hawley, his […]
The Pitfalls of Protest
A 37-year-old woman, Renee Good, was shot and killed in Minneapolis last week. She was part of a mob of protesters who were harassing and hampering the law enforcement work being done by Federal Agents from ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement.) ICE has been rounding up illegal aliens that were let into our country by […]
Sending Troops into Chicago: The Argument From the Left – Part 3 of 3
I conclude my debate with a man I am calling Ferdinand Yocum as we debate whether President Donald Trump is justified in sending in the National Guard into Chicago to try to quell the violence. Ferdinand says no. I say yes. Again, my designation uses the initials AN. AN: You wrote: “As to this increase […]
Sending Troops into Chicago: The Argument From the Left – Part 2 of 3
I continue with a recap from my debate with a man I am calling Ferdinand Yocum as we debate whether President Donald Trump is justified in sending in the National Guard into Chicago to try to quell the violence. Ferdinand says no. I say yes. Again, I will designate Ferdinand Yocum with the initials FY […]
Sending Troops into Chicago: The Argument From the Left – Part 1 of 3
Not long ago I was involved in a serious dialogue with a man of the Left. Some would actually call it a debate. So be it. In the interest of full disclosure, the man, (let’s call him, . . Ferdinand Yocum,) would vehemently deny my characterization of him in this column. He would protest that he […]
Power to the Trumpers by Bill O’Reilly
Let’s talk about presidential power. It can cut both ways, and as a loyal American, you should be thinking about this because it directly affects your well-being. In his first term, Donald Trump played the usual White House game until he lost reelection. Then all hell broke loose. But during the four years he occupied […]
