Better news is that Messy Times was right about the rational American repudiation of radical nonsense. The final count and ultimate certification is yet to come, along with a couple of fun runoffs, which will define the shape of the Federal Government for the next two years. Tune in for the purest, clearest and smartest coverage of this election and its implications!...

Out of the midst of apparent chaos, order is being created. Sudan which ten years ago was embroiled in a bitter civil war with what became South Sudan had long harbored terrorists with a fierce hatred of the West and Israel. Days ago in a deal brokered by the Trump Administration, Sudan's government lay aside decades of nursed grievances and set up a victims' compensation fund for the Al Qaeda bombings of the US Embassies in Tanzania and Kenya in 1998. $335 million was transferred to US controll...

Rik Mehta is running against Cory Booker (D, Thebes) for his US Senate seat. The people of New Jersey are suffering through an economic crisis created by Governor Murphy, who is sitting on billions of dollars in relief money he refuses to distribute, all while prosecuting and persecuting honest, hardworking citizens who want to go back to work and send their kids to school. Cory Booker as a US Senator could and should encourage Gov. Murphy to disburse those FEDERAL funds, but he has not bothered...

Avid Messy Timers know that your gracious co-hosts love nothing so much as sound public policy which provides clear rules and a level playing field for all Americans to pursue their ambitions free of government meddling. Few things enrage those same co-hosts as much as when corporations pay lobbyists to get laws passed for the sole purpose of restricting competition. State licensing laws about haircutting licenses, for example, have led to heavily armed SWAT teams crashing into a storefront beca...

https://gbdeclaration.org/ Sign the Great Barrington Declaration. It's pretty great. Kamala and Joe have told us a lot of things by what they refuse to say: They won't commit to their Leftwing base's fanatic need to add Justices to the Supreme Court, changing it from the 9 Justices we've had for 150 years, We're supposed to elect them and they'll tell us AFTER the election what their policy is! Last time we heard that was when Nancy Pelosi told Americans that we had to pass ObamaCare "so we coul...

So many boondoggles, lies and screams from the Swamp that it's hard to keep track. Not only do Nancy Pelosi and every other Shutdown Democrat not give one mosquito's fart in a hurricane about the average American thrown out of work, but when given the chance to deliver a useful piece of legislation to the President's desk for signature which would immediately start sending much needed checks to out of work Americans, Nancy Pelosi's Democrats will not deliver that relief for American workers. She...

The grating new mantra of some of our fellow citizens is "Follow the science." In this episode, we delve into the history of mantras, the ability of a seemingly simple sentence to take on a whole range of often insane meanings, and why the repeated abuse of a few simple words is both driving Americans apart and - when used correctly - is the key to our survival.

Plenty of art is designed to provoke a response. One might even suggest that the more impassioned a response a piece of art elicits, the more effective is the work. Judging by the mass destruction of public art this summer across American cities by spoiled brats in the throes of cancel culture, apparently today's youth are more sensitive to art's power than their elders are or were. If given a thousand guesses as to what piece of art had been destroyed during 2020's Marxist Summer of Destruction...

Continuing the bizarre dysfunction which has plagued this nation since the summer of 2016, upon the announcement that President Trump and his wife tested positive for COVID-19, numerous media figures and prominent Democrats publicly stated their joy at the news and further their hope that the President dies from his illness. Historians and psychologists will write dissertations for centuries to come about Trump Derangement Syndrome, but this new moral low the President's enemies have sunk to is ...

With the passing of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg - may her memory be for a blessing - there is an opening on the Supreme Court. President Trump has nominated a jurist of impeccable credentials, a woman who has earned the respect of all her legal peers irrespective of their political leanings. In Normal Times, finding such a qualified judge to serve on our nation's highest court would be a cause for universal celebration. Alas, we find ourselves in Messy Times. Join us as we delve into the High SC...

Messy Times is delighted to announce our first major public policy victory! In Episode 3 (Fight the Power!) we highlighted some American heroes standing up for what's right in these times of dictatorial overreach by the tinpot dictators in places like Albany, Sacramento and Trenton. One of those heroes is Claire O'Toole, owner of Joyce's Tavern in Staten Island, who felt the obnoxious mailed fist of the State slam down on her business for daring to stand up to the totalitarian Cuomo's arbitrary ...

Politicians throughout history have tried their very best to squelch speech critical of their lousy performance. Here in the United States, the political class has gotten clever about this, realizing Americans bristle at thought control, so they have dressed up violations of our First Amendment rights with phrases like "campaign finance reform" and that most vile of creations, the Speech & Thought Control Board. If they called it that, the populace might get restive, so they call it The Fede...

We heard a respected pollster say that this election is Persona v. Policy, meaning many people apparently dislike Donald Trump's personality more than they like (or even pay attention to) his Policy and vice versa for his opponent, the scarily-ageing Joe Biden, about whose Policy they're a little fuzzy but are inclined to vote for his Persona. Every American should vote his or her convictions and we hope the number of eventual votes tallied is equal to or lesser than the total number of register...

Given the media's cynicism of "If it bleeds, it leads," which leads to an unending parade of negativity, we at Messy Times are committing air time to extol the virtues of excellent American citizens who are standing up against tyranny and who do wonderful things for us all in their daily lives. There's a whole lot more that ties us together than potentially divides us. Across America, far too many governors, mayors and politicians have decided that they've lost faith in the people. "15 days to s...
