What Have We Learned From DOGE?
Donald Trump won the 2024 Presidential Election fair and square. He won the popular vote, he won all of the swing states, he won the electoral college, the Republicans maintained control of the House, and the Republicans snatched the Senate away from the Democrats. Although many Democrats deny this, the election was a blood-bath for […]
Donald Trump and the Quest for Justice
Here’s a thought: Donald Trump was the most maligned person in politics ever since he announced his intent to run for high office on June 16, 2015. People lied about him, people deliberately tried to ruin his life, the media ganged up on him, people wanted him dead. It would be wholly understandable if Trump […]
Who is Debrina Kawam?
Most of you reading this won’t recognize the name of Debrina Kawam – that is, until I tell you a little about her. Often referred to informally as Debbie, she was a native of Toms River, New Jersey. You can see a photo of her from her high school years in the picture accompanying this […]
Leftism: A Summary of a Summary
As I discussed in both the Self-Development column above, and in the Shameless Plug segment below, I completed my goal for 2024 of writing my first book, The Leftist Hydra: How the Progressive Left is Undermining Western Civilization. The book itself has a chapter near the end that summarizes my views of how Leftism is […]
Why Did Christians Vote for Trump?
The wife of a close friend of mine, JB (a close friend in her own right) is really disappointed in the recent presidential election results.  Thus, she asked me to address the question: Why is it that so many Christians voted for this loathsome, creepy, villainous character, Donald J. Trump?  (She didn’t word it quite that […]
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 […]
