Oppenheimer and the “whitewashing” of the Japanese in World War II

In truth, the Japanese were the aggressors, responsible for millions of deaths and uncounted war crimes.  They aspired to be the very colonialist, imperial power that progressives claim to loathe, but the ironclad rules of intersectionality make them the victim when the United States is involved. Earlier this month, the Oscar winning film Oppenheimer premiered… Continue reading Oppenheimer and the “whitewashing” of the Japanese in World War II

Pro-Palestinian protestors are the real story of “Genocide Joe’s” Presidential Campaign so far

What are the odds that a man who regularly slurs his words and whose ability to stand trial was questioned by his own Justice Department doesn’t lash out and create a potential viral spectacle after being repeatedly confronted by members of his own party in outright rebellion? Last week, President Biden held a glitzy fundraiser… Continue reading Pro-Palestinian protestors are the real story of “Genocide Joe’s” Presidential Campaign so far

Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing and why the world must be peopled

We cannot know the wellspring of the emotion we call love, neither where it comes or where it goes, but we should embrace it, lest the entire species should falter.  Such is the weight of our dalliances, which are about a lot more than nothing – as is the play itself. Much Ado About nothing… Continue reading Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing and why the world must be peopled

Springsteen’s “Rockaway the Days” is a lost classic, culled from a few other songs, but with a unique structure that stands on its own

The seemingly omniscient narrator of the main verses is interrupted by a first-person speaker who sings something almost entirely different, setting up both a duality and a contrast that persists throughout the song until the very end, where it is either resolved with Billy as the speaker or someone else.  Bruce Springsteen recorded the incredibly… Continue reading Springsteen’s “Rockaway the Days” is a lost classic, culled from a few other songs, but with a unique structure that stands on its own

Israel: The stain of abstaining at the UN pleases no one

If the President thinks this is a genocide, say it and demand a change in course.  If he thinks it’s a just war, but he has a better idea how to fight it, say it. Voting present simply isn’t an option anymore. Earlier this week, the United Nations Security Council passed a resolution calling for… Continue reading Israel: The stain of abstaining at the UN pleases no one

Free speech, the Supreme Court, and the closed loop conspiracy of supposed misinformation experts

The government funds left-leaning experts who pretend to be independent arbiters of the truth, then takes the findings from the people they are paying, and pressures or even sometimes extorts companies to censor content at their bidding. The Supreme Court, unfortunately, might continue to allow it. Last week, the Supreme Court heard oral arguments in… Continue reading Free speech, the Supreme Court, and the closed loop conspiracy of supposed misinformation experts

Shakespeare’s Macbeth, As You Like It, and all the world’s a stage

If brevity is the soul of wit, Macbeth’s might be the superior statement of the futility of our existence, an entire philosophy contained in a few simple lines, but the overall meaning couldn’t be more different.  It’s as if each speech is itself a prism, and the meaning reflected is based on the direction of… Continue reading Shakespeare’s Macbeth, As You Like It, and all the world’s a stage

Surprise, you don’t own your home or business in New York at least

A homeowner can’t sell their house because a squatter has moved in and is renting the place out on his own. Another couple purchases a house for $2 million, but can’t move in because a caretaker claims to have an agreement with a dead man. Meanwhile, the state plans to seize President Trump’s properties simply… Continue reading Surprise, you don’t own your home or business in New York at least

When at first you don’t succeed, mandate it by executive fiat

“The Biden administration is banking on the old ‘if you build it they will come’ approach to cudgel the auto industry away from gas-burning cars. It also seems to recognize a giant problem at the heart of the long-awaited EV revolution: Americans don’t really want them.” In other words, they will force you to comply,… Continue reading When at first you don’t succeed, mandate it by executive fiat

Physicists finally get off their ass and propose a new theory for the origin of the universe

A new study from the University of Ottawa attempts to resolve the insurmountable challenges facing the Big Bang theory by proposing the universe is almost twice as old as previously believed and that light loses energy over the eons. The scientific community appears to have largely shrugged, but it’s a good start. Almost two years… Continue reading Physicists finally get off their ass and propose a new theory for the origin of the universe
