The world’s only one man media empire
According to conventional wisdom in much of the media and other Democrat-heavy groups, President Trump shouldn’t even be allowed to run again, and yet the makings of one of the most – if not the most – triumphant political comeback of all time are in place. To date, Grover Cleveland is the only President in… Continue reading Is Trump mounting the most triumphant political comeback of all time, or at least since 1892?
Clarity of purpose in war is essential. The enemy must understand and believe you will do whatever it takes to achieve your objective. How is a war supposed to end when your enemy doesn’t even know what you want in the first place? Last week, President Joe Biden said what most needed saying about the… Continue reading Biden cannot continue to be at war with himself over Israel and Hamas, or Russia and Ukraine
Underground tunnels beneath a hospital? Hostages taken through a hospital? Weapons caches inside a hospital? Where have we seen this impossible standard of evidence before? When no evidence of any kind is ever enough? The big news over the past few days as been the humanitarian pause or cease-fire if you prefer in exchange for… Continue reading The media applies the impossible Biden standard of evidence to Israel
A forgotten gem from Tunnel of Love offers no gloss, cover, or potential escape, lyrically or musically until the very end. This couple doesn’t even appear to have fond memories to haunt them. The riff, like we assume their relationship has to be as well, is exceedingly short and simple, pumping up and down like… Continue reading Springsteen’s searing “Spare Parts”
Otto hadn’t received a gift for as long as he could remember, if ever. In all these senses and more, the entire holiday season meant absolutely nothing to him. In that case, why did he love the holidays so, when he was alone and did nothing to celebrate in any event? Otto didn’t have much… Continue reading The end of Thanksgiving as we know it, being a fictionalized account of a simple man who loved the holidays
On the surface, it may seem like a petty dispute over the use of TikTok, but the spat between the former Governor and Vivek Ramaswamy is actually one of the fundamental battles of our time, and Haley is not on our side. In politics, sometimes small, seemingly inconsequential moments illuminate larger issues, crystallizing the true… Continue reading Nikki Haley is everything that’s wrong with the establishment
Humanity is a curious creature by nature, social and competitive to a fault, and has ever been hungry for information, seeking new ways to consume and distribute media of all kinds for thousands of years. “Nothing can now be believed which is seen in a newspaper. Truth itself becomes suspicious by being put into that… Continue reading The media and technology might make easy targets, but they are not the root cause of society’s ills
My view is simple: October 7 changed everything, Hamas needs to be destroyed, and an invasion, which will necessarily be brutal and bloody, is the only means to do that. Someone, somewhere might have a superior plan that would achieve the same objective with less loss of life. It would be helpful, however, if they… Continue reading A few honest questions for supporters of Palestine
Ohio’s recent trust in Republicans doesn’t extend to the abortion issue. Virginia might like and trust Governor Youngkin himself, but they have no faith in an empowered Republican Party. Kentucky, meanwhile, placed its trust in Republicans, only to watch them completely botch critical tax policy. The Republican Party didn’t have the best night last Tuesday,… Continue reading Off year elections: The current political stalemate amid massive polarization is a matter of trust
The Bard wasn’t a scientist, unless you consider him an explorer of the human mind as some critics have asserted, and yet if we can divine one overarching theme he pursued, we might say it is uncertainty itself. Sonnet 94 is perhaps his greatest achievement in this regard, as the meaning changes based on the… Continue reading Shakespeare’s quantum mechanics in verse form
