Political Junkie

The March for Life took place on Friday.   However, based on mainstream media coverage, most Americans probably would not know that.   The Washington Post and The New York Times devoted 330 words to the gathering of pro-life Americans in the Nation’s Capital.   The networks barely had any time to cover the event; after all, the evening newscasts on the “alphabet soup” networks spent 27 minutes on the now-debunked Buzzfeed story about President Trump ordering Michael Cohen to commit perjury.   While the media obsessed over another fake story about Russia , many prominent Republican politicians and leaders in the conservative movement spoke at the March for Life, which commemorates one of the worst Supreme Court decisions in United States History, Roe v. Wade.   Liberals maintain committed to protecting and defending Roe, which legalized abortion nationwide, above all else; except maybe protecting and defending Robert Mueller, who they merely see as a tool to rem...

On day one of the 116 th Congress, liberals declared war on the Electoral College.   Congressman Steve Cohen of Tennessee introduced a Constitutional amendment that would abolish the Electoral College and award the Presidency to the candidate receiving the highest share of the popular vote nationwide.   In all honesty, liberals began declaring war on the Electoral College the second President Trump won the 2016 Presidential Election by capturing 306 electoral votes while losing the popular vote to Hillary Clinton; making him the second Republican President to win the Electoral College and lose the popular vote in less than two decades.  Liberals act as if the Electoral College gives Republicans an unfair advantage; apparently forgetting that liberals, in fact, always start out with an enormous mathematical advantage.   The Democrats can always count on winning California , New York , Illinois , New Jersey , Washington , Massachusetts , Maryland , Connectic...

Just fourteen days into 2019, it looks like the liberals have no desire to lay down their arms and surrender their war on Christianity.   While Christianity and religion as a whole have had victories in court and at the ballot box in the past year, that does not mean that liberals have decided to agree to disagree with Christians. In the 2014 Supreme Court decision Hobby Lobby v. Burwell, five out of nine justices agreed that companies had the right to refuse to cover employees’ birth control if their   religious beliefs prevented then from doing so in good conscience. Typically, when the Supreme Court makes a decision, it sets a precedent for lower courts to follow when similar cases come before them.   Lower courts typically abide by the doctrine of stare decisis, Latin for “let the decision stand.” However, as Ann Coulter pointed out , liberals’ definition of stare decisis is “what’s mine is mine and what’s yours is negotiable.”   Liberals treat Supreme C...

Happy New Year!   The word “bipolar” seems like a perfect term to use when describing American politics in 2019.   On the one hand, Republicans lost control of the House of Representatives.   On the other hand, Republicans gained two seats in the Senate; an anomaly for the President’s party in the midterm election.   If anything productive gets done in the next two years, it will require the support of members of both parties. Just about a week into the new Congress, a lot of the legislation put forth by Democrats does not provide much optimism for those hoping for bipartisanship.   Congressman Brad Sherman of California and Congressman Al Green of Texas re-introduced articles of impeachment against President Trump on day one of the 116 th Congress.   At the same time, Congressman Steve Cohen of Tennessee introduced a Constitutional amendment that would abolish the Electoral College. The introduction of these legislative initiatives make it seem li...

With Election Day two months in the rearview mirror, most people have spent all of their time analyzing the results of elections.   However, a series of ballot measures occurred simultaneously with many elections.   The ballot measures provide an interesting measure into how the voters feel about a series of hot-button issues.   Let’s take a look at the winners and losers from the 2018 election.   For more information, check out the list of ballot measures on the Clinton News Network website, which provides maps of the results by county and a separate list compiled by Fox News. Believe it or not, many of the items do not overlap.        Biggest Winner: Redistricting Comissions (3-0) Voters in Colorado , Michigan , and Utah all demonstrated support for the idea of an independent redistricting commission, that would draw the new legislative districts at the state and Federal level, as opposed to the legislature; which enjoys that...
