If the President thinks this is a genocide, say it and demand a change in course. If he thinks it’s a just war, but he has a better idea how to fight it, say it. Voting present simply isn’t an option anymore. Earlier this week, the United Nations Security Council passed a resolution calling for… Continue reading Israel: The stain of abstaining at the UN pleases no one

Free speech, the Supreme Court, and the closed loop conspiracy of supposed misinformation experts
The government funds left-leaning experts who pretend to be independent arbiters of the truth, then takes the findings from the people they are paying, and pressures or even sometimes extorts companies to censor content at their bidding. The Supreme Court, unfortunately, might continue to allow it. Last week, the Supreme Court heard oral arguments in… Continue reading Free speech, the Supreme Court, and the closed loop conspiracy of supposed misinformation experts
Shakespeare’s Macbeth, As You Like It, and all the world’s a stage
If brevity is the soul of wit, Macbeth’s might be the superior statement of the futility of our existence, an entire philosophy contained in a few simple lines, but the overall meaning couldn’t be more different. It’s as if each speech is itself a prism, and the meaning reflected is based on the direction of… Continue reading Shakespeare’s Macbeth, As You Like It, and all the world’s a stage
Surprise, you don’t own your home or business in New York at least
A homeowner can’t sell their house because a squatter has moved in and is renting the place out on his own. Another couple purchases a house for $2 million, but can’t move in because a caretaker claims to have an agreement with a dead man. Meanwhile, the state plans to seize President Trump’s properties simply… Continue reading Surprise, you don’t own your home or business in New York at least
When at first you don’t succeed, mandate it by executive fiat
“The Biden administration is banking on the old ‘if you build it they will come’ approach to cudgel the auto industry away from gas-burning cars. It also seems to recognize a giant problem at the heart of the long-awaited EV revolution: Americans don’t really want them.” In other words, they will force you to comply,… Continue reading When at first you don’t succeed, mandate it by executive fiat
Physicists finally get off their ass and propose a new theory for the origin of the universe
A new study from the University of Ottawa attempts to resolve the insurmountable challenges facing the Big Bang theory by proposing the universe is almost twice as old as previously believed and that light loses energy over the eons. The scientific community appears to have largely shrugged, but it’s a good start. Almost two years… Continue reading Physicists finally get off their ass and propose a new theory for the origin of the universe
Bill Clinton and who the radicals really are
President Clinton isn’t quite a Republican by today’s standards, but he’s much closer to one than the current Democrat Party, and if Democrats still held his positions, or anything like them, there would be broad bipartisan support for any number of major reforms that would benefit the entire country. In yet another common refrain, the… Continue reading Bill Clinton and who the radicals really are
Springsteen’s “Tougher Than the Rest” and the dramatic decline in divorce rates
Barely half as many couples are getting divorced and more couples are getting married than in recent years. Some experts attribute the trend to being intentional about your mate and choosing companionship rather than romance. Perhaps Springsteen put it best in “Tougher Than the Rest,” or even Shakespeare hundreds of years earlier in Romeo and… Continue reading Springsteen’s “Tougher Than the Rest” and the dramatic decline in divorce rates
Biden’s budget is as demented as he is
“This poor kid is down a hundred-foot vessel, chimney, scraping the hydrogen bubbles off of the inside,” the President told the Special Counsel. “And he was wearing the wrong pants, wrong jeans, and he—a spark caught fire...and he lost part of his penis and one of his testicles and he was 23 years old.” This… Continue reading Biden’s budget is as demented as he is
The Oscars are an embarrassment for an industry that prides itself on creativity and showmanship
It doesn’t take a genius to figure out that a show about movies should offer what you haven’t seen before, leaving you with a little of the magic in your own home, rather than scratching your head wondering what they pay these people so much more money for in the first place. Hollywood is supposed… Continue reading The Oscars are an embarrassment for an industry that prides itself on creativity and showmanship
