The Czar was leafing through the Muscovy Crier the other day, looking for the police blotter so he can see which neighbors’s teens got pinched for public intoxication when he spotted a comment about local voting turnout. The Czar immediately … Continue reading →
Every time a Republican mentions cutting entitlement programs, the Democrat-Media complex respond by alleging Republicans want to starve poor, innocent minority children because we’re racist bastards. Republicans need to stop ranting about dismantling each and every government-run entitlement program. As … Continue reading →
A curious piece at The Atlantic reflects exactly how strange the liberal mindset is, even when it is trying to be honest with itself. The Czar does not normally read The Atlantic, and assumes you do not either. No need … Continue reading →
Retired Spook writes in: Your Czarishness; Apropos our previous discussion on the pending financial disaster coming from Beijing, a recent Telegraph article contains a number of amusing (for given values of “amusing”) observations. It appears that Professor Reynolds is correct, … Continue reading →
The Czar is still surprised to see non-Democratic voters (not necessarily Republicans, per se) on social media calling for a third party. Many times has the Czar explained that third parties serve only one purpose: getting the other party elected … Continue reading →
Imagine a candidate named Fields. Fields can be a man or a woman, a president, representative or a senator, federal-level or state-level, a Democrat or Republican. If Fields were a major player, and the news stories were written a certain … Continue reading →

CNN conducted what appears to be the 7,346th straight poll that spells real problem for the Democrats. In this their latest, even CNN is conceding that it’s a rough time to be a Democrat. Worse, CNN—who at worst shills for … Continue reading →
The Czar thinks Scott Walker, among others, would in particular make a fine president. Too bad, really, because reality doesnt give a hoot about what the Czar thinks, nor what ought to be even were we incorrect. Indeed, realty kind … Continue reading →
We haven’t commented too much on the effective ending of sequestration, but as always, the public seems to misunderstand what really was happening. Too many conservatives are coming out and gnashing their teeth about this. Yes, the sequestration was powerful … Continue reading →
As we know, the Czar is out of rational explanations for what happened in 2012. Now over a year ago, we had an election that was locked certain for Republicans to win. The question wasn’t the Presidency—that was surely Romney’s—the … Continue reading →
So it breaks down like this. The GOP, we are reassured by the media, is perilously close to splitting in two. Actually, this is ridiculously far from the truth, but there is a comment we can make about that. In … Continue reading →
The Czar elects to look at some common memes in the press, and reveals his hunch about each. These aren’t predictions—just gut feelings. Claim: The Republicans are going to pay dearly for the shutdown. Hunch: The public has already moved … Continue reading →
If liberals could stomach our site for more than a few seconds of their otherwise carnival attention span, they might ask when we will turn our unpleasant gaze toward the Right. Indeed, we do quite often. In fact, not only … Continue reading →
Mitch used to write in from time to time, and thank goodness he’s still out there. Yesterday, the Czar had to sum up the evolution from the Whigs to the 1860 Republican Party in a half-sentence. Not surprisingly, Mitch thought … Continue reading →
PBS asks “Would a third major party ease Congressional gridlock?” No. There has never been a third major party in the United States for reasons of very simple math. Today’s two parties—uh, the Republicans and Democrats—are really extensions of original … Continue reading →

A hot microphone captured Senator Rand Paul expressing with some incredulity that Republicans might actually triumph in this shutdown nonsense. Why not. You have a president begging Americans not to give up on Obamacare, which is a complete reversal of … Continue reading →
President Obama claims he is willing to negotiate with Republicans, but “We can’t do it with a gun held to the head of the American people.” The President was criticized for using the expression, but Jay Carney said that the … Continue reading →
Gov. Scott Walker masterfully trolled Wisconsin’s hyper- sensitive Dane County liberal denizens, enraging theseeconomically illiterate “educators,” and benefiting the state’staxpayers simultaneously. Masterfully done, Gov. Walker. To be fair to ‘Puter’s self, he really didn’t set out to troll his liberal … Continue reading →

Against quite long odds, the House GOP has decided to stick it to the Obama administration and will fund a continuing resolution minus the required Obamacare portion. This, despite condemnation from the President and Senate, as well as a great … Continue reading →
Republicans are pretty annoyed with each other over the Obamacare funding deadline. Many Republicans want to defund Obamacare by passing a continuing resolution that funds everything budgeted for the government except Obamacare. The problem is that while this will pass … Continue reading →
There is unusually good news—seemingly—in the hell of Illinois politics. As you may recall, there were three leading Democrats competing for the 2014 gubernatorial election. Pat Quinn is the current governor of Illinois, and polls seem to indicate that Illinois … Continue reading →

In another futile attempt to explain modern liberal thought for our more right-wing readers (hey, everybody!), the Czar reminds everyone that while conservatives tend to see things in simplistic, black-and-white terms, the liberal mind tends to picture things in fuzzy … Continue reading →
The Czar has mixed feelings about CPAC, with the negative running toward whether it has gotten too big for its own organizational abilities, and the positive of course being that it is a major reminder to all people—right, center, libertarian—that … Continue reading →
The Czar sent a note over to the mighty Borepatch the other day, as this sort of thing is more up his alley. That is, one of Borepatch’s many areas of study is how the two dominant political parties have … Continue reading →
We cover this from time to time, but one of the more frequent questions we get or see others asking relates to liberal Democrat hypocrisy. You already know the formula: “it was horrible when Republicans did X, but okay when … Continue reading →
Lost in the excitement of Rand Paul’s extremist violent overthrow of the Senate the other day was The Dinner, as it is now known. Okay, okay—the Czar is aware that a lot of Tea Party Twitt’rhetoric is ripping into this … Continue reading →

Only four months after the election, and the suggestions to the GOP on how to regroup and reorganize have recently gotten very good. And consistent: we talked about them here already, but the same ideas keep popping up again and … Continue reading →
The proper response to Democrats’ profligate spending is to callthem out, make them pay for their beloved programs withoutborrowing.

GorT raises another good example about partisan hypocrisy: generally, its bad when Republicans do X, but worthy of praise when Democrats do the same thing. There are surprisingly few counter-examplesin which Republicans get off clean but Democrats get excoriatedwhich leads … Continue reading →

Liberals and democrats like to paint republicans with a broad brush that the GOP is bigoted and they attach a variety of biases which, in my experience, don’t hold water. For example, Minister Leslie Watson Malachi penned a blog post … Continue reading →
Interestingly, political junkies on both the Left and the Right each seem to have a major misconception about the Hispanic voters in the country. Fair is fair, and let us explain them both. Owners of these small businesses want lower … Continue reading →
