Outside the Beltway

It won’t be easy.

An unpopular war and sagging economy are driving down already low ratings.

Even as a lame duck, he still holds domination over the party.

A desperate but plausible gambit made necessary by a flawed system.

Diplomacy in action…

Paid for by Never Surrender, Inc.

Yet more gems from the Commander-in-Chief.

The Trump administration has been repeatedly rebuked by the courts, to little avail.

Yes, that might be kissing noises you hear…

Reality show edition.

Inflation is up.

Looking ahead, hopefully with some purpose.

It’s hard to win a street fight under Marquess of Queensberry rules.

More than any of his predecessors, we know in real time.

The state’s Supreme Court’s ruling was basically over a dubious technicality.

You can’t make this stuff up.

Republicans are winning the gerrymandering wars thus far.

A significant blow to Democrats.

Plus, I question the timing.

Not just dumb, but dangerous too.

News whiplash and the weird communications stylings of the Trump administration.

His VP and cabinet were not polled.

A dumb way to choose candidates? Or the dumbest way?

A little self-promotion.

Only 32 of 435 House seats are competitive.

Plus: Pete visits the Hill.

Disentangling the two is challenging, if not impossible.

What happens at the 60 day mark of the Iran War? Nothing.

Partisan gerrymandering just got a bit easier.

It would all be just absurd if it didn’t matter so much.

Free speech is not always met with more speech.

Some context.

It is all around us.

A gunman got off shots at the White House Correspondents Dinner.

It’s their own damn fault.

Dictating the curriculum from on high.

Also contempt for citizens.

Fighting autocracy with autocracy.

The state of being too big to care.

We have a problem, but we aren’t even trying to address it.

Competence, ethics, and good vibes all around!

Returning to a debate from the comment section.

A warning from the Commander-in-Chief to the crazy bastards.

Don’t worry, those rises in prices are an illusion!

Versus strait rhetoric.

Pete’s prayer and Franklin Graham weighs in.

Because sometimes you have to laugh, lest ye cry.
