The Grand Political Strategy of Donald J Trump (as of November 2018) Part 1
People forget that President Trump likes to plan ahead. Yes, Trump does like to pop off with sometimes ill-advised statements and he doesn’t like losing but he generally does signal that he has a plan or a series of political plans that he’s working on. In order to understand Trump, one must recognize that his…
Will the Democrats Investigate Trump?
The Democrats won back the House in the midterms. Ferk. Not unexpected, but still, ferk. It's not the end of the world, though. The left has to govern- and they're not used to that. At all. I’ve seen a bunch of articles that have mused how the left, emboldened by retaking the House of Representatives,…
Sorry. Life got in the way.
I'm alive! I'm not dead! Sorry, I've been away since August. My bad. I've been busy juggling multiple jobs in the real world. My name might be Jason Garrick, but I'm not THAT fast. Things are starting to shape up, though. Work-life balance will be achieved. I hope in the near future to have a…
Chicago and the Mid-Terms

Along with the Democrats’ “Abolish ICE” midterm election platform comes the natural consequences of the actions…
What does Trump Know?
Regarding the FISA Spygate scandal, people have wondered if Team Trump was trying to get ahead of the legal game by leveling threats against the Mueller investigation on twitter, acting impulsive in interviews, and flip-flopping on the collusion/obstruction issues. The liberal media believes that its keystone kops all the way down with Team Trump, and…

The Russian Collusion Paradox
There’s a huge problem with the Russian Collusion paradigm in the media, and few people are willing to talk about it. It’s really simple: If Russia tried to attack the US during the election through cyberwarfare, but everyone in the intel and hacking community say that it had no actual effect on the election, does…
