Trump and the inherent complexities of the trans question

The former President gave a rambling answer that some conservatives saw as less than optimal, but the real question is what can the government and the free citizens of a Republic do about a complex, controversial topic that cannot simply be wished away with simple statements?  Last week, former President Donald Trump appeared to give… Continue reading Trump and the inherent complexities of the trans question

Taming the budget the Calvin Coolidge way

The budget is an out of control beast, but this isn’t the first time elevated spending combined with massive inflation to threaten the economy. The Constitution gives the President the tools today as it did in the 1920s. All that’s missing is the will to do it the Coolidge way, cutting everywhere you can and… Continue reading Taming the budget the Calvin Coolidge way

Impeachment: The political bombshell that wasn’t

Once upon a time, this would have been huge news, especially one backed by multiple pieces of evidence and the clear knowledge the President did, in fact, lie many times, but in today’s highly polarized age, no one, and I mean no one, seems to care.  During the second impeachment of former President Donald Trump,… Continue reading Impeachment: The political bombshell that wasn’t

Time, consciousness, and the constancy of the two

It is a sign of our times that a green haired, eye-shadowed non-binary person wearing a dress with hairy legs sums up the position of establishment scientists for the BBC more succinctly than many of them ever would or could. The establishment, as ever, is likely wrong... We are prisoners of our minds and the… Continue reading Time, consciousness, and the constancy of the two

Monty Python’s Life of Brian and the end of comedy

A film that offends anyone and everyone would never be made today, and yet still it ranks as one of the best comedies all time for obvious reasons. The point – to be sure, I am not entirely certain there is a single point – appears to be that everyone is searching for something, but… Continue reading Monty Python’s Life of Brian and the end of comedy

Does a politician deserve to be carjacked and beaten because she pushed policies that would self-evidently result in higher crime rates?

Sadly, this is no longer a hypothetical question after the Vice Chair of the Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party, an affiliate of the broader Democrat Party and an advocate for defund the police, was carjacked outside her house and savagely beaten in front of her children. First, let me begin by stating that one of my core… Continue reading Does a politician deserve to be carjacked and beaten because she pushed policies that would self-evidently result in higher crime rates?

Global warming: No solution is too insane for the “experts”

Genetically mutating humans to eat insects, controlling the clouds and blocking the sun, changing the oceans, and more. The alarmist propose “solutions” more disruptive and damaging than a couple degrees of warming could possibly be. “If we eat less meat, we could significantly reduce our greenhouse gas emissions. Now, some people would be willing to… Continue reading Global warming: No solution is too insane for the “experts”

We need a physics based on the uniqueness of each moment

Two scientists writing for The New York Times dare to note that the Big Bang might be unravelling before our eyes and consider what might come next. What we need most, in my opinion, is a new physics of time... Last week, I was somewhat astounded to read – in The New York Times of… Continue reading We need a physics based on the uniqueness of each moment

Bruce Springsteen spends Labor Day at the Meadowlands to the delight of fans and ire of a particularly misguided critic

An updated rendition of “Darkness on the Edge of Town” and the debut of “Spirit in the Night” sets the second show apart, but you can’t please all of the people all the time as some deranged critics are claiming the Boss needs lessons from Taylor Swift, who should be so lucky playing at this… Continue reading Bruce Springsteen spends Labor Day at the Meadowlands to the delight of fans and ire of a particularly misguided critic

Mitch McConnell and the media’s utter shamelessness

For years now, they have collectively ignored the continued stumbles of the most powerful man in the world, only to pounce on a Republican after two similar instances. Let me start by being clear:  Personally, I think Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell is long past his sell-by date at a ripe 81 years old and… Continue reading Mitch McConnell and the media’s utter shamelessness
