The Unthinkable
I don’t like being wrong. At least not habitually. Yet I still reflect on Einstein’s pithy saying that “I am not interested in being right; I am interested in knowing whether or not I am right.” But here is something I hope I am wrong about. Donald Trump wasn’t hated by a large portion of […]
Why Trump Won
“I say this in the most disrespectful way possible. I don’t care if you are my family. I don’t care if you are my friend. I don’t care if we have been friends our entire lives. You can literally go f*ck yourself if you voted for Donald Trump. If you are so sad about your […]
Trump Derangement Syndrome Illustrated
In the previous issue (see Issue #317) I discussed the notion of Trump Derangement Syndrome. Opponents of Donald Trump consider the notion of TDS to be an unwarranted smear. I actually believe it to be a real phenomenon, an example of mass hysteria on an unprecedented scale. I’ve pointed out many times that the masses […]
Explaining Trump Derangement Syndrome
We’ve all heard the term Trump Derangement Syndrome. Allow me to explain how it works. First, let me say that for the upcoming election, I will not be casting my vote for Kamala Harris. I won’t explain in detail here why I will not be voting for her; suffice it to say I believe that […]
The Southern Border Miasma: Hidden SIAs
In the previous two issues of Uncommon Sense, I have used this column to turn our attention to the Biden-Harris administration’s open border policy. In issue #314, I tried to think like a terrorist and speculate on what might have gone through the mind of a typical terrorist at the new reality of the open […]
The High Costs of an Open Border
Ever since Donald Trump left office in January 2021, our southern border has been, for all intents and purposes, wide open. While it is true that neither President Joe Biden nor Vice President and “Border Czar” Kamala Harris have ever candidly stated the obvious, which is that the border is open by design, that in […]
If I Was a Terrorist. . .
Sometimes it pays to try to understand your enemies. When Joe Biden and Kamala Harris were elected to the presidency during the 2020 election, the moment they got the keys to the White House in late January 2021, they immediately embarked on a project to do pretty much the opposite of whatever it was that […]
Understanding Conservatism
It is an interesting undertaking to understand American Conservatism. People often throw the term around with only minimal understanding of what constitutes conservatism. I recently reviewed a speech on the subject by John Fonte of the Center for American Common Culture, a division of The Hudson Institute . Allow me to offer a quick summary […]
Leftwing Craziness during the Month of July
Sometimes it is instructive to merely make passing mention of the continued madness that is Leftism. Let’s take a quick stroll down memory lane to see the Left-wing trends and happenings that point to a growing erosion of decency and normalcy, shall we? The Supreme Court ruled that former President Donald Trump does have some […]
Inside the Leftist-Dem Mind
“May you live in interesting times.”     The quote above is said to be a bit of ancient Chinese wisdom. We certainly do seem to be living in interesting times, especially on the political front given that we are in an election season. And as we’ve heard in all of the presidential elections of […]
