The world’s only one man media empire
Most of us wouldn’t say we were thankful for breathing. It’s one of those things we take for granted until something goes wrong, but considering the millions of events happening, all of it without our knowledge and none of it under our control, perhaps we should be. Thankfulness can be a funny thing. There… Continue reading A few of the things we should all be thankful for like breathing
While healthcare philanthropy is recognized as a worthy cause, the grand scope Rockefeller applied to every challenge from curing hookworm around the world to cerebrospinal meningitis remains elusive, as well as the sheer willpower required to achieve such scale. Mr. Musk has both, and he should set his mind to doing something purely to help… Continue reading Elon Musk’s next mission should be a Rockefeller sized bet on incurable diseases
For almost a decade now, the mainstream media has widely claimed or at least suggested that once and future President Donald Trump was unelectable for an ever changing variety of reasons, ranging from his lack of appeal and the legal onslaught against him. They were wrong and in many cases, they lied. I can’t be… Continue reading Will progressives ever tire of a media that lies to them repeatedly and treats them like morons?
The means to purchase a $350,00 vehicle are far in the future for me at least, but that’s not the point. The point is: When someone offers you the chance to drive one, you take it, but you’ll never get the chance if you aren’t in the game in the first place. As many of… Continue reading Driving an 800 horsepower Lamborghini in Manhattan and the importance of being there to live out your dreams
The insistence that President Trump’s primary goal is to take some kind of vengeance on his enemies is only possible if you ignore a mounting body of evidence that all isn’t well with the government, particularly at the leadership level. Shortly before the election, Republicans accused the Biden-Harris administration of political discrimination after two devastating… Continue reading Trump’s brilliantly subversive Cabinet picks and the scandal that should be currently engulfing FEMA
Can octopuses feel pain and pleasure? What about crabs, shrimp, insects, and spiders? The phrase “thought provoking” is frequently overused, but Professor Jonathan Birch’s new book on animal sentience and what we can do about it deserves the accolade and then some. When I was asked to review an advance copy of Professor Jonathan… Continue reading The Edge of Sentience and the beauty of being wrong
The recent controversy over a Democrat questioning transgender athletes in women’s sports illustrates one of the most interesting and most interestingly annoying aspects of Trump Era: The sight of supposedly intelligent people whose mind has been reduced to one output for every possible input whenever he is involved. After last week’s brutal election loss, Democrat… Continue reading Donald Trump, a transgender controversy, and the mad derangement of the age
The Butterfly Effect encapsulates how small changes in variables lead to big changes in outcome. History is the Butterfly Effect written into human affairs, but it is even harder to untangle than math or physics. Who’d have believed a once and future President making an announcement after coming down a golden escalator would lead to… Continue reading Donald Trump and the greatest, most improbable political story ever told
The people have spoken and they have shouted: We will not be told what to do, what to think, what to believe, how to act, how to live, and how to vote in record numbers. At the risk of sounding like Michelle Obama, I have never been more proud of my country than last Tuesday… Continue reading Why Trump’s massive victory gives me hope for the future and renewed pride in the American experiment
For all the talk of having a front row to history, this is what it really looks like in action. I used to believe there was no crazier son of a bitch to occupy the Oval Office than Teddy Roosevelt, no greater unstoppable force, but the Bull Moose might have just been taken down a… Continue reading Trump stands alone in a historic victory unlike any other, an unstoppable force emerging more powerful than ever
