I am a Thanksgiving turkey and I live to die for your holiday meal

Chickens?  Pigs?  Cows?  They get slaughtered all year for any old meal, but not me.  I’m special and I serve a higher purpose, so forget the various controversies surrounding the holiday over the centuries and belly up to the table. I am a Thanksgiving turkey.  You might find me roasted, smoked, or fried at the… Continue reading I am a Thanksgiving turkey and I live to die for your holiday meal

Disgusting: The media is happy to undermine US foreign policy if they believe it hurts Trump

Rather than ask a substantiative question about the future of the Middle East and the world, the media preferred to focus on an eight year old murder and invoke 9-11 to embarrass the President and the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia in person. Last week, President Donald Trump welcomed Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman… Continue reading Disgusting: The media is happy to undermine US foreign policy if they believe it hurts Trump

Is there any peak to Democrat delusions or can the insanity increase forever?

The real Epstein question is whether these increasingly extreme delusions – and, yes, anyone who thinks an already well covered “scandal” regarding a person that’s been dead for almost six years will take down a sitting President is deluded – will ever end.  Sadly, there is no evidence that’s the case.  In the world of… Continue reading Is there any peak to Democrat delusions or can the insanity increase forever?

No, AI cannot translate animal sounds into human speech because animals don’t freaking talk

For some reason, the experts are claiming we can translate animal speech that doesn’t really exist in the same sense as human speech, and they are proposing to do so with only half the necessary data, the sounds alone without the show, so to speak. Late last year, the Coller Dolittle Prize announced that researchers… Continue reading No, AI cannot translate animal sounds into human speech because animals don’t freaking talk

Sydney Sweeney versus Zohran Mamdani 2040: The revolution will now be cosplayed

Somehow, an actress is slammed as a white supremacist archetype of conservatism for appearing in an advertisement as celebrities frequently do while two obvious phonies, children of privilege who claim to be socialist revolutionaries, are the new face of the Democrat Party, redefining politics for an entire generation.  Over the past six months, perhaps no… Continue reading Sydney Sweeney versus Zohran Mamdani 2040: The revolution will now be cosplayed

The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari and the audacity of the earliest filmmakers

Somehow, a silent film managed to include a false framing device that serves to mislead the viewer and set up a twist ending straight out of a modern movie, a love triangle, a flashback within a flashback, multiple murders, a murder investigation with a falsely accused suspect, an abduction, and more. Over a century after… Continue reading The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari and the audacity of the earliest filmmakers

Reminder: The Constitution doesn’t actually mention tariffs and the Supreme Court ruled in 1928 that the power can be delegated to the President

Rather than looking at the Constitution, the history, the law, and the facts, many automatically assume President Trump will not prevail at the Supreme Court or anything else, but what else is new? Last week, Supreme Court pundits and watchers were convinced the Justices were set to overturn President Trump’s global tariff policy because several… Continue reading Reminder: The Constitution doesn’t actually mention tariffs and the Supreme Court ruled in 1928 that the power can be delegated to the President

No, endless subsidies do not make healthcare or anything else more affordable

If the government were to subsidize Ferraris for a year, that doesn’t mean the cost of a Ferrari will go up when the subsidies expire.  It means the amount of money given to you to purchase a Ferrari went down. If there is a healthcare deal to be had, it cannot simply be to expand… Continue reading No, endless subsidies do not make healthcare or anything else more affordable

The post-Trump world isn’t pretty for Republicans, but there’s a lesson from proud socialist and now NYC Mayor Elect Zohran Mamdani

In today’s fast pace, media saturated, meme driven world, old school messaging and advertising will not be enough, especially in the face of historical trends.  The public, most of the time, craves something different, a fearlessness and a boldness that the old guard is unwilling to deliver, and if Republicans cannot deliver it, they will… Continue reading The post-Trump world isn’t pretty for Republicans, but there’s a lesson from proud socialist and now NYC Mayor Elect Zohran Mamdani

Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me and the unsettling birth of the cinematic universe

I’m not sure which is the bigger achievement.  David Lynch’s daring to tell an unfiltered story of the sexual abuse and suffering of a teenager in 1992, or to use it as a gateway to the modern media world, where world-building and origin stories rule. These days, cinematic universes are all the rage, but back… Continue reading Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me and the unsettling birth of the cinematic universe
