If only we could sleep as easily as we can die. I could end my life in an instant, but for reasons that defy explanation, simply putting the mind to rest for a few hours can prove impossible. If only we could sleep as easily as we can die. I could, if I chose, end… Continue reading Sleep, death, and the limits of Mark Twain and William Shakespeare
Rather than accept that the federal government supersedes the states when operating within the sphere of its enumerative powers, the claim then and now was that states could pick and choose which laws they would follow and enforce. In the lead up to the Civil War, slaveholding states embraced the idea that they could nullify… Continue reading The new Democrat nullification movement
Rather than acting like adults who have encountered a disagreement and making adjustments, a progressive columnists accuses his own side of lashing out like children, blaming them for their beliefs, claiming they are “irrational” and “unacceptable.” It’s become something of a catechism in progressive circles: The Republican Party, particularly under President Donald Trump, has moved… Continue reading Did a progressive finally admit Democrats have moved too far left for their own good?
We have two choices when the Democrats and the media assert President Donald Trump’s actions are unprecedented in anything other than the pace, volume, and effectiveness. Either they truly believe the world began on January 20, 2025, or they think you are stupid enough to believe so yourself. To hear Democrats, progressives, and their allies… Continue reading No, the world didn’t begin on January 20 when President Trump retook office
The media and social media is in an uproar about the government shutdown, handicapping which party will prevail while the parties themselves play the usual blame game even as it is unclear the average person has noticed a thing so far.

Most of us who have either deadlines or quotas to meet, have been summoned by our bosses and upbraided for failing to meet them. If I could deal with it as an 18 year old in the car business in a much more vulgar fashion, military leaders should certainly be able to deal with it… Continue reading Hegseth’s big gathering of top military brass and my experience in the car business
“Methodologies in sexuality research must evolve to ensure more participatory and child-centered methods,” claims the American Sociological Association in one of the most disturbing articles ever, complete with calls for children to draw pictures and film their sexual experiences. “Sexualities scholarship marginalizes childhood sexual pleasure, positioning children as vulnerable subjects. This article repositions childhood sexualities… Continue reading No, we shouldn’t be theorizing about the sexual lives of children for the sake of intersectionality even as the experts keep getting more and more insane
Despite the current criticism, a nomination will need to be won and barring the emergence of someone truly new and interesting, the Vice President will have massive name recognition, a fundraising network, and diversity credit which might well be enough to power her through a crowded field. It didn’t take a political genius to predict… Continue reading Nobody’s happy with Kamala Harris, but that doesn’t mean she won’t be the nominee in 2028
Partisans can and will spin any argument they want, but the question is which ones the people in the middle actually respond to and the Republicans currently lead Democrats on the vast majority of issues. While it has long been said conservatives and progressives live in two different worlds, the real question is which reality… Continue reading Progressives’ delusions are increasingly at odds with voters’ reality
Released in 1941, Citizen Kane is widely regarded as the greatest film ever made despite my falling asleep twice during it in film school, ranked so by the British Film Institute’s poll of critics while also topping the American Film Institute’s 100 Years…100 Movie’s list, but what does that really mean?
