The media may choose to focus purely on the legal ramifications of potential influence peddling, but the ethical case is much more damning at this point, especially in regards to Biden’s dealings with Ukraine and Burisma. We must begin by acknowledging that whether something is legal or ethical are actually two different questions. The law… Continue reading Joe Biden, an ethical indictment of his family’s influence peddling scheme

Greta Van Fleet and the insatiable need to rock
There’s little doubt the 80s rocked, but sadly both the word “rock,” whether as a noun, verb, adjective, or possible adverb form along with the genre itself fell out of favor in the early 1990s for reasons that remain entirely unexplained - perhaps until now. There’s little doubt the 80s rocked. If the 70s were… Continue reading Greta Van Fleet and the insatiable need to rock
Trump and the impossible abortion question
The former President isn’t abandoning his position or expecting his supporters to move left on the controversial topic. He’s expecting them to accept reality and trusting in their ability to act rationally, leading rather than hiding behind a pro-life slogan that has no chance of actually becoming law. On Sunday, former President Donald Trump angered… Continue reading Trump and the impossible abortion question
A world of endless summer, being a fictionalized account of a year where summer never ended in the Northern Hemisphere
Otto was a simple man, some might say too simple or perhaps even describe him as mentally retarded, to use the term from an earlier, less enlightened era. The one thing he liked was heat, and therefore it was no surprise that he was one of the few who enjoyed an eternity of scorching temperatures.… Continue reading A world of endless summer, being a fictionalized account of a year where summer never ended in the Northern Hemisphere
Trump and the inherent complexities of the trans question
The former President gave a rambling answer that some conservatives saw as less than optimal, but the real question is what can the government and the free citizens of a Republic do about a complex, controversial topic that cannot simply be wished away with simple statements? Last week, former President Donald Trump appeared to give… Continue reading Trump and the inherent complexities of the trans question
Taming the budget the Calvin Coolidge way
The budget is an out of control beast, but this isn’t the first time elevated spending combined with massive inflation to threaten the economy. The Constitution gives the President the tools today as it did in the 1920s. All that’s missing is the will to do it the Coolidge way, cutting everywhere you can and… Continue reading Taming the budget the Calvin Coolidge way
Impeachment: The political bombshell that wasn’t
Once upon a time, this would have been huge news, especially one backed by multiple pieces of evidence and the clear knowledge the President did, in fact, lie many times, but in today’s highly polarized age, no one, and I mean no one, seems to care. During the second impeachment of former President Donald Trump,… Continue reading Impeachment: The political bombshell that wasn’t
Time, consciousness, and the constancy of the two
It is a sign of our times that a green haired, eye-shadowed non-binary person wearing a dress with hairy legs sums up the position of establishment scientists for the BBC more succinctly than many of them ever would or could. The establishment, as ever, is likely wrong... We are prisoners of our minds and the… Continue reading Time, consciousness, and the constancy of the two
Monty Python’s Life of Brian and the end of comedy
A film that offends anyone and everyone would never be made today, and yet still it ranks as one of the best comedies all time for obvious reasons. The point – to be sure, I am not entirely certain there is a single point – appears to be that everyone is searching for something, but… Continue reading Monty Python’s Life of Brian and the end of comedy
Does a politician deserve to be carjacked and beaten because she pushed policies that would self-evidently result in higher crime rates?
Sadly, this is no longer a hypothetical question after the Vice Chair of the Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party, an affiliate of the broader Democrat Party and an advocate for defund the police, was carjacked outside her house and savagely beaten in front of her children. First, let me begin by stating that one of my core… Continue reading Does a politician deserve to be carjacked and beaten because she pushed policies that would self-evidently result in higher crime rates?
