The world’s only one man media empire
The media wants you to think of the current race as something akin to a prime 2008 Barack Obama battling a beleaguered 2016 Donald Trump. The one is the candidate of all our hopes, dreams, and aspirations. The other is completely unhinged, bitter, angry, and unfit. Both are serious cases of projection... “The lady doth… Continue reading The Democrats and the media are still scared shitless of Trump
Our ancestors were complete bad asses that remained confident even a country torn by war would be reunited under our established principles. They bequeathed this history to us, but we can’t figure out how to do something as simple as balance the budget or come to a meaningful compromise on abortion. Rutherford B. Hayes isn’t… Continue reading Rutherford B. Hayes and the crazy bad asses we are descended from
It can’t be a coincidence that one of the most famous and revered actors of his generation made a name for himself playing three different versions of the same character in less than five years. What was the audience – and critics – at the time responding to that such a character resonated so well? … Continue reading Jack Nicholson and the modern tragedy of the misfit who shouldn’t be in Five Easy Pieces, The Last Detail, and One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest
One narrative holds that Vice President Kamala Harris has created the most joyous, transcendent election campaign since President Barack Obama in less than three weeks. Another is that she has done absolutely nothing except garner larger crowds, read someone else’s scripts, and pose for the cameras. Like magic, the media has settled on a new… Continue reading Let them eat joy
President Joe Biden waiting on the tarmac for three Americans to arrive from Russia as part of the largest prisoner exchange since the Cold War, flanked by his completely incoherent Vice President, now newly crowned Democrat Presidential Candidate, serves as a timely metaphor, but the truth is far worse and likely to be far more… Continue reading Reminder: America still needs a real President for the next five months
If you believe our obsession with racial identity is a threat to the future, a poison in our discourse, and a majority of Americans are increasingly tired of being labeled purely by ethnicity, you need to confront the issue head on, especially when your opponent is exploiting the accidents of her race for political gain.… Continue reading Trump, the black vote, and what can only be described as balls of steel
Everyone had a “cat lady” on their block as a child. The house you crept past for fear of getting yelled at for no reason, the one you’d dread should a stray ball land on her lawn, the door you ran from should it open. No one, and I mean no one wanted that person… Continue reading JD Vance, Cat Ladies, and an Anatomy of a Fake Scandal
Rather than the fearless, master horseman who led charges, the film depicts a far more reserved and fearful man. Rather than the dynamic, workaholic it shows us a moribund, borderline depressive. Rather than anything resembling the whirlwind of actions and contradictions the real man must’ve been, we are left with only with a poor, bittersweet… Continue reading Only Hollywood could make Napoleon a boring, lovesick mope rather than one of the most dynamic and engaging personalities in world history
President Biden acted on his own and displayed a unique selflessness, serving the nation rather than his personal interests, or at least that’s the approved narrative, but a narrative is simply a story we lay over underlying facts to make sense of disparate events. As the “official” narrative would have it, President Joe Biden selflessly… Continue reading Trump is the first presidential candidate in history to beat his opponent months before the vote
Rather than believing this is an existential conflict that requires a clear winner on either side, she claimed it is not, in fact, a “binary” issue. The thousands of protesters in DC a day earlier, including musician Dave Matthews, would beg to disagree. Last week, Vice President Kamala Harris addressed the ongoing war in Gaza… Continue reading Kamala Harris, Dave Matthews, and the truth about our binary choice in Gaza
