The world’s only one man media empire
The real world of international relations is not a movie, but some key lessons and insights are the same. You can be at war without wanting to be at war and you cannot win a war without knowing who your true enemy is, forget telling them in advance what you will and will not do. “Tattaglia’s… Continue reading Joe Biden is no Marlon Brando, lessons from the Godfather on his failing foreign policy
A Republican Governor refuses to get involved in a huge scandal that could derail a Trump prosecution, preferring to leave it to an advisory council that doesn’t actually exist. Perhaps they can defer to the Krypton Council that banished Zod at the beginning of Superman. You wouldn’t know it from the mainstream media, but the… Continue reading Where in the world is Georgia Governor Brian Kemp after an anti-Trump prosecutor funneled hundreds of thousands to her illicit lover?
It’s a centerpiece of the entire plan to remake America in a purely progressive image and it will not be easy to defeat. Recent victories aside, conservatives shouldn’t be celebrating. They should be girding for a much longer battle ahead. Harvard President Claudine Gay’s fall from grace earlier this month, complete with a golden parachute… Continue reading DEI will not go quietly into that good night
Like Bidenomics before it, the vibecession rests on two false assumptions, first that the economy is either the best ever or the worst ever, and second that declining inflation means declining prices. Besides, if the economy is so good, why is everyone saying the American dream is dead? Following the failure of “Bidenomics” to change people’s… Continue reading The “vibecession,” the truth about the economy, and the resilience of the American dream
The former Governor and now Presidential candidate moved swiftly from refusing to clearly state that slavery was the primary cause of the Civil War to inexplicably claiming America was “never” a racist country. She likely knows better, but her advisors probably don’t. Former Governor and Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley has about the same… Continue reading Nikki Haley needs a history lesson and a lesson for all politicians from Donald Trump
The search for something better defines us, and will always do so. The only way to cope is to tell the world itself to fuck off. We can rise above our fates only if we spit fate itself in the face and live in the moment. “Badlands” isn’t my favorite Bruce Springsteen song. A perennial at… Continue reading Springsteen’s “Badlands” and the moment that just don’t come
These contraptions satisfy next to no one outside of a few specific buyers with unique needs, and, of course, our government overlords that are desperate to restrict our mobility to save the planet. Last week, the rental car giant, Hertz, announced a huge reduction in its electric vehicle fleet, selling some 20,000 cars, about a… Continue reading 2024 will not be a good year for electric cars, but of course that has nothing to do with the entire plan or the Biden Administration
Time is the only tell whether Trump can continue defying the odds, but by now, no one should bet against him and love him or hate him, all of us have the proverbial front row seat to history in the making. Earlier this week, former President Donald Trump won the Iowa Caucuses so convincingly that… Continue reading Trump’s immunity to the laws of political gravity and legal exposure, potentially
Much like music, a great film can exist purely on an emotional level, as a stream of loosely related and structured consciousness that teases us with symbolism, impenetrable to a complete analysis, and yet filled with meaning all the same. Federico Fellini’s 1963 surrealistic fantasy about a film director struggling with his love life and… Continue reading Fellini’s 8½ and whether or not reality matters in either art or life itself
“There are some aspects of what is going on that remain puzzling,” explained a climate scientist at the National Center for Atmospheric Research. “Climate change means all past analogs are not so reliable,” save when they advance the cause of hysteria, of course. It’s become an unfortunate annual tradition, the same as the holidays themselves… Continue reading A new year means new heights in global warming hysteria
