WASHINGTON, DC US, April 21, 2020 -Today, The Lincoln Project released a new ad, “READY.” The video illustrates why Vice President Biden can reunite the country in a time of deep division, anger, and fear, and why he’s the right man to take on Donald Trump. The ad will begin airing in Milwaukee, WI, and Grand Rapids, MI media markets beginning today. “Vice President Biden has shown he has the temperament and experience to lead our nation in a time of crisis. Donald Trump has left America in a state of danger, despair and economic depression, and the risks are too high to allow him another term,” said Jennifer Horn, co-founder of The Lincoln Project. “He has the empathy, compassion and strength to serve. Vice President Biden is the antithesis of everything Donald Trump stands for, and his personal triumphs and tragedies have shaped him into the leader he is today. Joe Biden is the best choice to lead America through our worst crisis in a century.” The Founders of the Lincoln P...

Oh My!!! From The American Conservative we now find out that our Socialist, Marxian, Commie, Muslim President is more like a Nixon Republican than a Marxist Commie? S*it, what are those Patriotic Tea Party folks and the rest of the right wing going to do now?. Probably ignore the evidence as they usually do and barrel ahead as they look for more scandals to imagine.

John McCain, Bacevich thought Obama at least represented hope for ending the Iraq War and shrinking the national-security state. I wrote a piece for the New Republic soon afterward about the Obamacon phenomenon—prominent conservatives and Republicans who were openly supporting Obama. Many s...

While doing my morning check for an interesting lead the Cato @ Liberty,  Gallup's Conservatives and Libertarians spot caught my eye. It didn't interest me so much because I am a Libertarian, (I define myself as a true modern independent conservative and a classical radical in the mold of our founding fathers), but  rather as I read the article I could not help but think a strong coalition of true Conservatives and Libertarians could win the White House in 2012. Some numbers from the Poll; 1) 40 percent of respondents consider themselves to be consevative 2) 36 percent consider themselves to be moderate 3) 20 percent consider themselves to be liberal Based on respondents answers to two broad questions noted below Gallup consistently find approximately 20 percent of the electorate hold Libertarian beliefs. Some people think the government is trying to do too many things that should be left to individuals and businesses. Others th...
