Under normal circumstances, a politician repeatedly lying about something, forget abruptly changing policies on his own, would suggest – at a minimum – they have something to hide, but somehow, for some unstated reason, none of that is supposed to apply to President Biden. President Joe Biden’s supporters have adopted a curiously obtuse perspective, one… Continue reading Where there’s the smoke of scandal, there’s the fire of corruption except for President Biden

Springsteen’s “Man’s Job” and our endless capacity for self delusion
“Man’s Job,” a little known track from Human Touch, presents an interim step on the journey into darkness and despair, before the lover is overwhelmed by loss, treating jealousy as something of a delusion or self-rationalization, the denial phase of grief, right up until the point it isn’t. “Man’s Job” is the first of two… Continue reading Springsteen’s “Man’s Job” and our endless capacity for self delusion
Facebook’s feed is a disaster and our tech overlords are emperors with no clothes
Earlier this year, my Facebook feed was suddenly awash with homosexual content for a couple of weeks. Now, it’s on to half naked women, all with no rhyme or reason. The veneer of all powerful technology is mostly false marketing spin or delusions of grandeur... Today’s world is driven by technology, creating the general impression… Continue reading Facebook’s feed is a disaster and our tech overlords are emperors with no clothes
Trump, the mugshot seen around the world, and progressive blather about the rule of law
We cannot say for sure if he is enraged, defiant, determined, or some combination of all three and more, but we can say that this is not a man who is going to walk quietly into obscurity, either in prison or otherwise, and likely with good reason given the underlying issues at play. Last week,… Continue reading Trump, the mugshot seen around the world, and progressive blather about the rule of law
White saviors, the progressive preference for fantasy over reality, and the reality that they secretly want black people to suffer
An almost 15-year old controversy over the Academy Award winning film, The Blind Side, is thrust back into the spotlight, proving once and for all that no good deed goes unpunished for progressives, and helping others through good works only counts if you are of the right race. We should all agree that modern storytellers… Continue reading White saviors, the progressive preference for fantasy over reality, and the reality that they secretly want black people to suffer
Hawaii, Biden’s “heck of a job,” competence, compassion, and empathy this certainly isn’t
The President is lucky in one regard: He’s not George W. Bush or any other Republican, and so despite showing about as much empathy as Freddy Kreuger does while stalking a victim in a nightmare, he can count on the mainstream media to either ignore his failings entirely or spin them into some kind of… Continue reading Hawaii, Biden’s “heck of a job,” competence, compassion, and empathy this certainly isn’t
Biden’s vaccine mandate “conspiracy” to defraud the government and the American people
The President mandated vaccines based on false statements, faulty science, outright lies, and flawed legal reasoning only to be rejected by the Supreme Court after untold people lost their jobs, American rights were trampled, and the country thrown into chaos. These days, this should be an indictable offense. On November 4, 2021, President Joe Biden… Continue reading Biden’s vaccine mandate “conspiracy” to defraud the government and the American people
“Silent” Calvin Coolidge and the existential battles of our time
“We are facing an issue that knows no party. It is not new. That issue is supremacy of the Law. On this issue America has never made but one decision,” the future President declared while facing down an unprecedented police strike in 1919. Before Calvin Coolidge was elected President in 1920, he faced an existential threat… Continue reading “Silent” Calvin Coolidge and the existential battles of our time
Trump and the historic embrace of novel legal theories
Whatever your opinion on the man himself, there is a fundamental question of fairness when you consider that he is facing hundreds of years in prison, based mostly on novel interpretations of statutes that even his opponents admit have never been used in this way before. Give credit where credit is due: The various prosecutors… Continue reading Trump and the historic embrace of novel legal theories
To impeach or not to impeach, that is the question
Impeachment is rapidly becoming the talk of the town among Congressional Republicans, who believe an inquiry alone will provide answers to pressing questions, but there are many reasons to believe the plan could backfire, big time. Late last week, a Republican Congressman from Florida, Greg Steube, filed articles of impeachment against President Joe Biden over… Continue reading To impeach or not to impeach, that is the question
