It Sold It By Bary Edward And now the market is calling the bluff There was a time when owning a Jeep meant you didn’t need to second-guess the decision. You bought it. You drove it. You trusted it. That was the product. But Jeep has forgotten what fan loyalty is and what it means. …

Nearly 100 companies have walked away. The state’s response? Chase a shrinking industry and ignore the obvious. Colorado’s business leaders aren’t whispering anymore, they’re warning. Since 2019, nearly 100 companies have left the state, expanded elsewhere, or abandoned plans to move here altogether. That’s not a fluctuation. That’s an exodus in slow motion. And yet,…

There was a time when GoFast Sports Energy Beverage Company did not feel like a company you worked for. It felt like something you were part of. When I was there, the energy was not just in the product. It was in the building. Every day felt like it was going somewhere. Ideas moved fast.…

When having a child starts to feel like a financial risk, the problem isn’t culture, it’s the system. By Guest Author Frankie Arnold Recently Joe Rogan talked about Americas choosing not to have kids on his podcast. He is not entirely wrong, although he did try to frame it as America is going to…

There was a time when the idea of a geopolitical rival calling for regime change in the United States would have been laughable. Now it’s just American sentiment towards an administration that is rife with corruption being run by one of the most vile corrupt men in then world. This week, Iranian state messaging pushed…

Something unusual is happening and it’s worth paying attention to, regardless of where you stand politically. It reminds me of an old Movie, Team America: World Police, Trey Parker and Matt Stone did this little gem back in the early 2000’s. As tensions rise with Iran, some of America’s closest allies are choosing not…

A headline recently caught the attention of many Americans. The Federal Communications Commission Chairman Brendan Carr, a Trump appointee warning broadcasters about their coverage of the war involving Iran while Donald Trump publicly criticises the media. For many people the reaction was immediate. That sounds dangerously close to censorship. In the United States…

Something strange is happening in America. The cost of living keeps rising but the message from Donald Trump and other leaders and corporations stays the same. Sacrifice. Be patient. Tighten your belt. Accept the pain for now. Americans hear it every time prices climb for the things people cannot live without. Housing. Fuel. Healthcare.…

It’s time to break from politics and start to look at advertisers that try to sell us patriotism. Every few months another commercial appears waving the American flag and telling us that Jeep and Dodge stand with the American people. Freedom. Grit. Patriotism. The open road. The message is simple. Buying one of these vehicles…

After the Strongman Reports emerging from the Middle East suggest that Israel and the United States may have eliminated one of Iran’s most powerful figures, a man synonymous with repression and state violence. Few will mourn the passing of a ruler whose authority rested on fear. The removal of brutal leadership is often presented as…

How Power Pretends Not to Notice What It Normalises By Jayde There are excuses, and then there are confessions dressed up as excuses. When a president says he approved the sharing of a video containing racist imagery of Barack and Michelle Obama but “didn’t see the part people don’t like,” he is not denying…

By Jayde Mc. After the recent release of the Epstein files which with zero doubt paints Trump as a child molester and the recent murders at the hands of ice, the time has come for every American to wake up. It’s time to remove and imprison Donald Trump for his many, many, many crimes. How…

America’s Leaders Are. The most damaging illusion in American politics is that paralysis is prudence. It is not. It is cowardice, rehearsed daily across municipal chambers, statehouses, and the federal government, and sold to voters as responsibility. The 25th Amendment exists precisely because democracies fail when leaders cling to power long after capacity, judgment, mental…

The seizure of a foreign leader and plans for external governance violate core principles of international law and expose how quickly power can be substituted for process. There Is No Legal Basis for America’s Seizure of Venezuela Strip away the moral language and the Trump administration’s action in Venezuela collapses into something far simpler…

Let’s dispense with the cowardly qualifiers. Not that I blame him, I actually stand up for JD Vance who told a white Christian nationalist who insulted JD’s wife to “Eat Shit.” I don’t dislike that statement at all. But then again I stand for all women and…any man that defends them. Then again this…

Colorado does not have a money problem. It has an accountability allergy. Time for a break from the Epstein files for something closer to home. If I’m two cents short on a tax payment, the federal government knows instantly. Not eventually. Not after an audit. Instantly. Letters appear. Deadlines harden. Interest accumulates. The system is…

When the Cameras Turned Off, So Did They MTG and Lauren Boebert’s Epstein silence is the loudest sound in Washington. They were never subtle about it. For days, Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert wrapped themselves in the language of “transparency,” pounding podiums and timelines with righteous fury. Release the Epstein files, they demanded. Expose…
-
They Were Meant to End the Conversation What was billed as a release of the Epstein files was not a reckoning. It was a controlled exposure. A demonstration of how power survives scandal not by denial, but by dilution. The public was given photographs without context, fragments without substance, and insinuations carefully stripped of consequence.…

Donald Trump’s administration didn’t gut NREL because it was ineffective. They went after it because it was effective. The National Renewable Energy Laboratory had the audacity to do something unforgivable in MAGA America, it measured reality. It produced data. It showed where the future was headed. And worse, it did so without caring whether that…

Americans Are Joking About Working for the Cartel Because Washington, Trump, and the War on Drugs Made a Joke of the Country America is losing a vibes war to the cartel. Not a shooting war. Not a border war. A vibes war. And TikTok comment sections are the battleground. Videos joking that the cartel…

America Should Stop Pretending It Was Normal. There are presidential interviews. There are difficult interviews. And then there is the Politico interview with President Trump which played out like a masterclass in how to detach fully and confidently from reality while expecting the rest of the planet to clap. Trump appeared under the studio…
-
There is something uniquely obscene about a politician announcing himself as the champion of affordability after years of watching people drown and calling it background noise. Donald Trump did not stumble into this claim innocently. He has seized it because his usual weapons grievance outrage spectacle are no longer enough. Voters are exhausted. The bills…

Not smoke. Not patriotism. Fear. The kind that sets in when too many powerful people realize the paper trail might finally catch up to them. The administration is racing to redact the Epstein files like they’re trying to beat a storm surge with a thimble. Names blacked out. Pages sealed. Timelines “under review.” Transparency, apparently,…

The President Who Thinks Americans Do Not Know What Magnets Are Yet Falls In Love With Every Strongman On Earth Including New York’s New Governor By Solin for PragmaticIssues.com The Setup America can put robots on Mars. America can build skyscrapers in months. America can run an entire nation off five minutes of engineering.…

Congress Has One Last Chance to Prove It Isn’t Still the Same Cowardly Institution That Betrayed Us in the 80s I grew up in the eighties when adults pretended child abuse was a misunderstanding or a family matter or something kids “misinterpreted.” It was the decade where schools covered it churches hid it police departments…

Trump and America Want Transitional Housing. The Idea Is Brilliant. The Infrastructure Is a Fantasy.
The Idea Is Brilliant. The Infrastructure Is a Fantasy. The Idea Is Not the Problem, the Capacity Is There is nothing inherently cruel or misguided about transitional housing. In fact, when done well, it is one of the most humane approaches available. It provides structure, expectations, community and momentum. It treats people as participants…

Trump Wants the DOJ to Reopen Epstein But Only for Democrats The latest tantrum, we meant demand from the Trump administration arrived not through a formal briefing but through a blast of political theater amplified by loyal surrogates, the President wants the Department of Justice to reopen the Epstein investigation but only to pursue Democrats.…
-
America woke up today to something between a political earthquake and a badly written soap opera rerun. The Epstein files are finally being pried open like a rusted lockbox that every powerful man in America swore had been “lost in the move.” And suddenly Donald Trump is out here on a runway looking like he’s…
-
The latest stunt from Donald Trump’s ever-growing list of political tantrums is a demand to alter ACA subsidies in the middle of a government shutdown. The move is as strategic as throwing gasoline on a kitchen fire and then demanding applause for the brightness of the flames. He has taken a nation already staggering under…

Chicago woke up to sirens again. This time it was not a school shooting or a freeway crash. It was immigration enforcement. Federal agents rolled into Little Village before dawn with their bulletproof vests, rifles, and scripted lines about public safety. A man opened fire on them from a black Jeep. No one was killed,…
-
Mr. President, Is This About Guarding America or Guarding Your Agenda Donald Trump is clinging to his demand to kill the Senate filibuster. He says it is time to stop gridlock and start “getting things done.” That sounds noble until you realize that what he really means is “getting his things done.” He has…

Colorado’s Comedic Guerillas – South Park’s Homegrown Boys Are Still Torching Trump and Laughing All the Way to the Avalanche By Solin for Pragmatic Issues Somewhere high in the Rockies, between the smell of pine, skunkweed, and irony, two Colorado boys are still doing divine mischief. Trey Parker and Matt Stone, creators of…

Donald Trump says that 2026 will be the “year of affordability.” Adorable, really, like watching an arsonist promise to start a fire department. Because if there’s one thing Trump knows how to do, it’s drive prices up, gut safety nets, and then sell the ashes back to us as luxury condos. His administration’s latest slogan,…
-
By Solin for PragmaticIssues.com There’s a certain poetic justice in watching the self-proclaimed master of winning lose his composure. As Democrats notched key election night victories across several states, Donald Trump didn’t congratulate, didn’t self-reflect, no, no he detonated. “And so it begins,” he posted, as if democracy itself were a personal insult. HuffPost called…

Aaron Parnas, his every headline screams civil war, then none of them mean a damn thing. America doesn’t need more panic peddlers, it needs reporters who remember what truth sounds like. Damn I tried to stick up for the journalists when the white house kicked you out… Today a headline screamed across social feeds: “Internal…

Apparently, someone forgot to tell the self-styled emperor in residence that the White House isn’t Mar-a-Lago with better curtains, it’s the people’s house. Yet here we are again, the Trump administration, in a display of paranoid grandeur, has decided to restrict media access to the West Wing. The official line? Security. The real reason? Control.…
