Dan Aykroyd in blackface? The N-word? Greedy capitalists? A rape by an ape? On the problematic side, Trading Places has it all, but if you look beneath the surface these aspects are all in the service of a downright progressive theme. Of course, the woke are incapable of doing so... To claim Trading Places, the 1983 Christmas comedy starring Eddie… Continue reading Trading Places is the problematic Christmas movie that’s perfect for our era

2023 will be remembered as the year Democrats tried to kill democracy
Courts believe they can bar a candidate not convicted of any crime, much less charged with the actual crime in question, from a ballot. Judges believe they can decide whether someone is guilty before stripping them of their property without any kind of jury of their peers. The Special Counsel believes he need not follow the regular… Continue reading 2023 will be remembered as the year Democrats tried to kill democracy

Shakespeare friends and foes, Falstaff, and the idea of art as a mirror to the soul
Shakespeare isn’t a puzzle box to be unlocked or a cipher to be decrypted. He is instead a universe to be explored and in that regard, no one in history has even come close. Ultimately, your opinion is likely based on your opinion on the purpose of art itself. The 400th anniversary of the publication… Continue reading Shakespeare friends and foes, Falstaff, and the idea of art as a mirror to the soul
Honest questions: How many Palestinian dead is an acceptable figure and what exactly did President Biden mean by standing “shoulder to shoulder” with Israel?
While the President accuses Israel of what would have been considered a war crime in World War II, completely and totally botching the historical reality of US policy in the process, he and others who insist Israel is killing too many civilian refuse to provide any number of acceptable casualties of their own. Immediately after… Continue reading Honest questions: How many Palestinian dead is an acceptable figure and what exactly did President Biden mean by standing “shoulder to shoulder” with Israel?
The White House Christmas video says it all
The promise was that Joe Biden represented a return to normalcy and competence, but his administration lacks even the normalcy or competence to produce a Christmas video without politicizing the holiday season. In a sane world, producing a holiday video at the White House should not be either difficult or controversial. Conservatives might well demand… Continue reading The White House Christmas video says it all
The COP28 climate “deal” specifically designed to limit your freedom

Globally, 828 million people go to bed hungry. Some 700 million live in poverty. 72% of the population, lives under authoritarian rule while some 5 billion do not have access to adequate medical care. Why do a relative handful on a small strip of land matter so much? To many progressives, the fate of Palestine seems to… Continue reading Honest Question: Why are the Palestinians so special?
A President’s son is charged, a President himself continues to lie, the media remains half asleep, and where it ends, no one knows
Three years ago The New York Times, CNN, and others pretended there was nothing out of the ordinary with Hunter receiving millions of dollars without providing any work product or paying any taxes. Now, he faces serious jail time. Whether or not this reaches the President himself remains to be seen. Last week, the President’s… Continue reading A President’s son is charged, a President himself continues to lie, the media remains half asleep, and where it ends, no one knows
Academia is irredeemably racist, hopelessly ignorant, and must be defunded immediately
Boston University’s Ibram X. Kendi, Harvard’s Claudine Gay, and others reveal their inherent racism and ignorance with almost every single nonsensical statement they make. Would you rather be a Jewish white person in Palestine or a Muslim brown person in my majority white, decidedly middle class hometown of Hazlet, NJ? “Whiteness prevents white people from… Continue reading Academia is irredeemably racist, hopelessly ignorant, and must be defunded immediately
