Two different trials, two claims of self-defense, and two completely different verdicts demonstrate how the jury system works in America, combining clear legal standards, the right of the accused to mount a defense, and a decision by a jury of their peers. Justice in America isn’t nearly as rare as progressives think... Last Wednesday, three… Continue reading The Ahmaud Arbery verdict reveals the genius of American justice and the continued insanity of progressives

Thanksgiving: Progressives take aim at turkey and the entire 400-year old tradition in a desperate attempt to destroy yet another holiday
For many progressives, the spirit of giving thanks has been replaced by endless self-flagellation for our perceived past and future sins. You will mourn events that happened hundreds of years ago and fear events that might happen a hundred years from now if you don’t confess your own sins and adopt their socialist solutions. For… Continue reading Thanksgiving: Progressives take aim at turkey and the entire 400-year old tradition in a desperate attempt to destroy yet another holiday
Progressives take aim at “white reasoning,” but its enshrinement in our justice system is something we should all be thankful for
The howls of outrage from progressives after the Rittenhouse verdict are rapidly transforming into calls to dismantle the bedrock of the judicial system, from the instructions to juries to the nature of self-defense. Meanwhile, 80 thugs in ski masks rob malls in San Francisco, and the experts object to calling it “looting.” “A belief may… Continue reading Progressives take aim at “white reasoning,” but its enshrinement in our justice system is something we should all be thankful for
The Wheel of Time turns into a big-budget TV adaptation, but will the original author finally get the credit he deserves?
Robert Jordan created the most complex, detailed, and intricate fantasy world in the history of literature, but few people outside the genre know his name.

Rittenhouse reactions and the left’s new found right to retreat

The Biden Administration doesn’t care what you think, and they don’t even try to hide it anymore
From inflation to the border with the pandemic and the fate of Americans held overseas in between, President Biden’s words and actions make clear he doesn’t really care what you think or the challenges you are facing. The radical progressive agenda is paramount no matter what, but fortunately Americans are starting to notice.

Critical Race Theory: Yes, the FBI is targeting parents and progressives continue to lie about it, even as they promise to get more aggressive
The battle over Critical Race Theory is frequently depicted as a fight over “honest history,” but history isn’t the point. The fight is really over the future, as progressives seek to redefine the history of America to one of endless, intentional oppression and racism. The goal is to make the country irredeemable and undermine our… Continue reading Critical Race Theory: Yes, the FBI is targeting parents and progressives continue to lie about it, even as they promise to get more aggressive
Kyle Rittenhouse and the collapse of common sense and decency
If a 17-year old white kid involved in a tragic incident with three white adults can divide the entire country along partisan lines, raising the specter of white supremacy and white privilege, is there anything that can’t? No one should know Kyle Rittenhouse’s name. In some slightly more rational world, he would be a normal,… Continue reading Kyle Rittenhouse and the collapse of common sense and decency
BOOK EXCERPT: A few more pages from “Far From Home: The City Under the Sea”
“Mirra found an apt visual metaphor for both the hidden smoldering of human emotion and the literal unraveling of the colony in the crystal clear video footage of the hydroplant before and after the flames. It was replayed countless times, from countless angles in the days that followed, enough for her to connect the three… Continue reading BOOK EXCERPT: A few more pages from “Far From Home: The City Under the Sea”
Biden’s approval rating sucks for obvious reasons that aren’t likely to change
The pandemic continues and unexpected new crises have cropped up, from halfway around the world, to the border, even into your dining room.
