The world’s only one man media empire
The legendary General George S. Patton once quipped, “No dumb bastard ever won a war by going out and dying for his country. He won it by making some other dumb bastard die for his country,” but the experts have suddenly decided otherwise based on at least two false assumptions. On Tuesday, Israel reported that… Continue reading No, killing your enemy’s leadership isn’t a sure fire way to lose a war whatever the experts claim
Confining the Oscar-winning film to a story of grief undervalues a far more wide ranging work that can be said to include the totality of the human experience in around 4,000 lines, but does so in a way both powerful and accessible. Hamnet, the Oscar-winning film, inspired by real events in the life of William… Continue reading Hamnet, Hamlet, and the infinite nature of a poem unlimited
President George W. Bush galvanized the country by throwing out the first pitch at the World Series in 2001. Contrary to the stunning lack of curiosity among the experts and the mainstream media, the visibility of a country’s leaders matter, especially in a time of war. On October 30, 2001, President George W. Bush galvanized… Continue reading Whether Iran’s new Supreme Leader is dead or alive, injured or healthy, in Iran or Russia, is perhaps the most important unanswered question of the war so far
From the Revolutionary War to World War II, setbacks have been a reality, but perhaps never before has the United States dominated so objectively compared to the naysaying of detractors who are content to repeat Iranian propaganda and prefer to praise the Iranian regime. George Washington has the dubious distinction of having lost more battles… Continue reading Iran: One thing is clear, we better hope we’re never in a war with a real global power because half the country would surrender in a week
While we do not yet know what sort of government will emerge in Iran, the President is adopting a policy much closer to the success of World War II’s unconditional surrender than the failure of the Iraq War’s regime change. Last week, President Donald Trump demanded nothing less than unconditional surrender from Iran to end… Continue reading Iran: Call it regime change, unconditional surrender, or whatever you like so long as whoever’s in charge at the end agrees to a few key things
During the Cold War, the theory held that one country falling to communism led to another, but today Trump is toppling states allied with China and Russia in an inverted incarnation. In the aftermath of World War II, the world was roughly divided into two spheres of influence. Countries either lived under the protective umbrella… Continue reading Trump is running the “Domino Theory” in reverse
Despite calling for higher prices for years, we’re supposed to believe that progressives had a recent epiphany or at least that’s what they would like you to think if you happen to have the memory of a gold fish. In one of those ironies that so frequently seem to define the modern world, Yahoo Finance… Continue reading Since when do progressives give the slightest shit about high oil prices?
There doesn’t seem to be a single element of the status quo the President finds acceptable and whenever he happens to determine something is unacceptable, he has not hesitated to put his entire Presidency and its ultimately legacy on the line. In some other universe, Donald Trump retook office on January 20, 2025 and proceeded… Continue reading The ridiculous audacity of Donald Trump
If you don’t want more and aren’t worried about losing what you have, either you have nothing and aren’t aware there is anything, you have everything and there’s nothing left to achieve, or you’re dead. Midway upon the journey of our life I found myself within a forest dark, For the straightforward pathway had been lost.” So… Continue reading Reflections on turning 50, when you’re not exactly Dante from the Inferno in a dark wood
For a savvy politician, the disconnect between what voters want on illegal immigration and how the President is addressing that want is an opportunity to agree with the principle while bemoaning the practice, but Democrats cannot bring themselves to take advantage. To a rational adult, two things can be true simultaneously. It is possible to… Continue reading Democrats are doubling down on illegal immigration to their own detriment because they are terrified of their own voters
