Confessions of a Conservative Atheist
The world’s only one man media empire
Despite the naysayers, the Supreme Court continues to demonstrate a rare independence of thought in our polarized age, issuing several decisions just this month that featured shifting coalitions of conservative and liberal Justices, completely defying any simple categorization as partisan. Progressives, along with some conservatives, have taken up trashing the Supreme Court and recommending all… Continue reading Wait, I thought the Supreme Court was just a bunch of partisan hacks in black robes
There is, apparently, a “robust scientific literature [that] leaves no doubt about the anguish pets experience.” This anguish includes “physical confinement, social isolation, and chronic exposure to stress.” In other words, we are torturing our pets and should let them run free... Last week, people were a threat to the planet itself. This week, people… Continue reading Progressives are coming for your pets
Every four years, political prognosticators bleed an ocean of digital ink in the lead up to the election cycle’s much ballyhooed presidential debates, only to tell us afterwards that none of it mattered in any event, nor do such things usually matter. Will this time be different? Every four years, political prognosticators bleed an ocean… Continue reading Is the endless blather about the big debate between Biden and Trump a classic much ado about nothing?
“Not in employment, education, or training,” that is those who are doing absolutely nothing with their lives, neither productively working nor preparing for their future. After two decades of being told all they could not do, the spark of life has gone out, drowned by those who believe failure is our birthright. Generation Z, born… Continue reading Meet the “NEETs,” a new acronym to describe how Generation Z remains hopelessly adrift
In this official selection of the Independent Horror Movie Awards, a failed actor tormented by his nagging mother lands a dream audition to play the titular prince Hamlet in Shakespeare’s greatest creation, but all is not as it seems when the actor might be as crazy as the Danish prince himself. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZFxX3GrcoX0 Written and Directed… Continue reading Hamlet: Full Dress Rehearsal
We’re all looking for something better, but are unlikely to achieve it through some magical moment, some mystical epiphany, or some mythical transformation. Ironically, Bruce Springsteen’s two albums most focused on positive outcomes and the possibility of redemption, are also his most underrated if not outright forgotten. After spending almost two decades penning songs about… Continue reading Springsteen’s “Better Days” and the promise of a more limited redemption
Around 7 million have crossed the border illegally since January 2021, and somewhere over 2 million are waiting to hear their asylum claims. In other words, we could add an entire state to the Union with the number of people that have crossed the border illegally during President Biden’s tenure. For months, we’ve been informed… Continue reading Wait, I thought President Biden was supposed to be tough on the border
Celebrating the declining birthrate as some of have done will not save the planet. It will lead to less human fulfillment, less innovation, a lower standard of living, more loneliness, and a world that most would not want to live in. For years, if not decades, conservatives have suspected that progressives simply don’t like people. … Continue reading Progressives want less people to save the planet
Love can sing to us, sweetly, and we can build an edifice upon it for that special choir, an edifice composed of both the joy we have in our lover and the fears of how it will end, for everything is ultimately “ruin’d” in this world, but in Shakespeare’s, even a single intentionally shortened syllable… Continue reading Shakespeare’s Sonnet 73, the “Bare ruin’d choirs, where late the sweet birds sang,” and the meaning of love itself
Ultimately, it is a positive sign that justice is finally being served in the sordid case of Hunter Biden, but the idea that this is proof positive that justice remains impartial in America says more about the media than anything else. Hunter Biden’s conviction on felony gun charges earlier this week immediately prompted the mainstream… Continue reading No, Hunter’s conviction doesn’t mean justice remains blind in America, not when the Justice Department continues to protect President Biden in plain view
