The world’s only one man media empire
The events of this summer make it clear President Trump is risking his very life to run, coming within less than an inch of having his head blown off on national television. What selfish, self-interested person would voluntarily lay their lives on the line any time they appear in public? With two weeks to go… Continue reading Is Trump really only in it for himself?
We, indeed all life on Earth, are as ancient as we are new, as grandly complex as we are simple. Indeed, it is fair to say that complex life wouldn’t exist at all without this contradiction. The mammalian ear is significantly more complex than our bird and lizard cousins in the vertebrate family. Rather than… Continue reading Evolution: Three new studies highlight the marvelous contradictions between preserved forms and new innovations that support complex life on Earth
Are we masochists when it would be much, much easier not to have one in the first place, both in terms of mourning their loss and the truth that this animal depends on you for everything? Or does it represent something far more wonderful and special in human nature, that we voluntarily bring another creature… Continue reading Lessons on the passing of an aged coonhound
In the real world, everyone instinctively knows this is impossible, that you cannot subsidize your way to rich, all while embracing the Toyota and Timex equivalent. Why? To the extent Vice President Kamala Harris has an economic policy, it can perhaps best be summarized as a continuation of President Joe Biden’s subsidize everything approach, where… Continue reading A Ferrari in every driveway and a Rolex on every wrist
Strangely, the entire issue seems to have disappeared from the public consciousness, an event so traumatic, we’ve suppressed the memory of forced lockdowns, masking, school closures, and more, save to criticize President Trump’s economic record by cherry picking a period during which we effectively committed economic suicide. One of the many ironies of the 2024… Continue reading Reminder: Democrats lead an unprecedented assault on freedom and democracy during the pandemic
In a wise strategic decision for both campaigns, Governor Walz focused almost exclusively on former President Trump’s unfitness for office and Senator Vance presented a calm, compelling, and rational case for President Trump without the usual bombast. Much has been made of the fact that Tuesday’s Vice Presidential debate between Senator JD Vance and Governor… Continue reading A civil debate, but not for the reasons many think
Much of the recent focus has been on Israel for obvious reasons, but no one listens to us anymore. From Iran to Russia to China to even potentially close allies like India, we watch as the world burns and global power realigns. Last week, Israel shocked the world by executing a massive aerial bombardment on… Continue reading Biden and Harris have turned the United States into an incompetent bystander in world affairs
“It kind of has this origin in anti-immigrant sentiments, right, all the way to January 6th, when we think about that white exceptionalism, and this notion of a kind of white ownership of Shakespeare,” claimed a supposed professor of English at Arizona State University, in a truly bizarre syllogism. The average person doesn’t equate… Continue reading Shakespeare, January 6th, and the continued madness of the academic world
Rockefeller himself was an unlikely business tycoon, born into a relatively poor family in upstate New York on July 8, 1839. His mother was the daughter of a local minister. His father was effectively a con artist, who had multiple identities and sold fake cures for cancer and other maladies. Still, he changed the world… Continue reading Modern capitalism, John D. Rockefeller, and the lies of the 1619 Project revisited
The President appeared before the UN General Assembly to brag about himself and lie about a peace plan for the Middle East that his own Administration has scrapped. Even worse, the Administration admits that despite months of effort, there is no Plan B and no way forward from here to end the bloodshed. It’s official: … Continue reading Biden’s foreign policy is so bad, even CNN can barely spin it anymore
