Living proof marijuana doesn't kill brain cells…
Being a fictionalized account of a future where nothing grows for over twenty years and humanity, or at least the less than five percent that survived, subsists on manufactured foods in a secure colony at an undisclosed location. It was mid-May, but nothing grew. The grass outside Otto’s kitchen window was as dreary, desiccated, and… Continue reading A world without spring
Continually escalating encounters with the United States military while the war in Ukraine rages on is not the strategy of a country on the verge of accepting defeat, but even a cursory understanding of history should not make that surprising. A successful foreign policy requires a recognition of reality sorely lacking on all sides of… Continue reading Russia isn’t intimidated by either President Biden or the broader free world
President Biden and the mainstream media can trumpet the supposed success of our intense diplomacy all they like, but Russia remains in Ukraine and has no plans to end the war anytime soon. Teddy Roosevelt forged a different, far more successful path in his first showdown with a foreign power, preferring secret talks to public… Continue reading In Ukraine and elsewhere, our enemies perceive only failure and the lessons of Teddy Roosevelt’s big stick diplomacy
Everyone has an interest in learning who is responsible for the audacious act of sabotage that destroyed the Nord Stream pipelines last year.

The President of the United States recklessly and dangerously unleashed F22 Raptors on three amateur balloons in as many days with no explanation. The Founders would’ve considered this an impeachable offense and a subordinate would likely face criminal charges under the Uniform Code of Military Justice. The Biden Administration and the media have rapidly moved… Continue reading Provocative opinion: Balloon-gate is an impeachable offense
Biology and physics don’t care about your body image. Obesity is a killer according to science, but that isn’t enough to prevent a burgeoning movement championing everything from letting children eat whatever they want to envisioning a science fiction future populated by the morbidly obese. Many Americans struggle with their weight, fighting what appears to… Continue reading The future is fat and that’s not good for anyone
One month after the train derailment and subsequent chemical spill in East Palestine, Ohio, residents are being diagnosed with chemical bronchitis, rashes, and other disturbing symptoms despite claims from environmental and health authorities that the region is safe. Meanwhile, the Biden Administration and the media try to blame a President who hasn’t been in office… Continue reading Ohio Train Derailment: The anatomy of a government, political, and media failure
More than twenty years ago, Steven Spielberg completed Stanley Kubrick’s final passion project, a film about artificial intelligence and machines that is equal parts prophetic from a modern perspective, uneven as a movie, and unfulfilled as a work of art. Today, everyone is talking about Artificial Intelligence. The emergence of ChatGPT and subsequent competitors capable… Continue reading Spielberg’s thought provoking bastardization of Kubrick, A.I. Artificial Intelligence
