In one sense, Hamlet spins out the statement in a play of words, not intended to have any logical meaning, but to confuse his audience, hiding his real thoughts beneath the mask of insanity. In another, it contains the meaning of the entire play and Macbeth besides. O God, I could be bounded in a… Continue reading I could be bounded in a nutshell, Shakespeare’s genius in three cryptic phrases

Israel: If not Iran, who funded the attack and why does President Biden refuse to say it?
To his credit, the President delivered a moving speech on the atrocities, even as some in his own party openly support the Palestinians and believe the slaughter in Israel was justified, but no one in his administration has yet to clearly identify Iran’s pivotal role. “You know, there are moments in this life — and… Continue reading Israel: If not Iran, who funded the attack and why does President Biden refuse to say it?
Hillary Clinton can deprogram this
Rarely, does a single interview capture so much of what is wrong with our politics today, highlighting both the deep denialism of supposedly mainstream Democrats and further cementing that party as one completely adrift from anything resembling traditional American principles of government. Last week, two time presidential loser and perennial election denier Hillary Clinton re-entered… Continue reading Hillary Clinton can deprogram this
Biden’s third war in three years makes this the worst foreign policy ever
At every turn, President Biden has chosen a path that prioritizes talk over action, believing that countries saying they are for something is the same as actually achieving that something, and has failed to deliver actual progress while the world continues to burn. This weekend, President Joseph R. Biden, Jr. completed a tragic trifecta the… Continue reading Biden’s third war in three years makes this the worst foreign policy ever
The Wheel of Time, the woke, The Rings of Power, and the difference that comes from truly loving your source material
The Wheel of Time is coming alive with the underlying energy of Jordan’s creation while The Rings of Power has smothered Tolkien’s genius, allowing it to break through only at the edges. Both, however, serve as a valuable lesson for other television producers and filmmakers who bow to the whims of the woke. In the… Continue reading The Wheel of Time, the woke, The Rings of Power, and the difference that comes from truly loving your source material
The media thinks you’ve got the IQ of the aging coon hound sitting on the other side of my desk
A former high school principal might’ve pulled a fire alarm in Congress by accident, believing it was a door handle. Meanwhile, no one should be the slightest bit concerned that a judge presiding over a civil case against former President Trump appears to be a radical leftist with a staff that hangs out with Chuck… Continue reading The media thinks you’ve got the IQ of the aging coon hound sitting on the other side of my desk
Matt Gaetz can’t count and other Republican absurdities while ousting a Speaker heading into an election year
If there is one rule in politics, it might be summarized: Never be seen to be losing, do not pick fights you cannot win, instead focus on changing the political kaleidoscope until you can win. Republicans, or rather a handful of extreme Republicans, have somehow managed to pick two such fights in barely a month.… Continue reading Matt Gaetz can’t count and other Republican absurdities while ousting a Speaker heading into an election year
Socialism, crime, Dostoyevsky, and the more things change
The root causes of crime have been debated for centuries. A classic example phenomena comes from renowned author and thinker, Fyodor Dostoyevsky, whose words written over 150 years ago ring as true today as perhaps ever before. “Crime is an abstract term that means nothing in a lot of ways,” explained a young progressive named… Continue reading Socialism, crime, Dostoyevsky, and the more things change
TikTok, Republicans, and their inability to understand the nature of political power
Today’s establishment minded Republicans are fond of placing what they perceive to be important principles over common sense, transforming their positions into a classic suicide pact. History provides a better guide to a be a successful GOP President. There’s no doubt the second Republican debate was a disorganized mess, marred by poor moderation, worse questions,… Continue reading TikTok, Republicans, and their inability to understand the nature of political power
Joe Biden, an ethical indictment of his family’s influence peddling scheme
The media may choose to focus purely on the legal ramifications of potential influence peddling, but the ethical case is much more damning at this point, especially in regards to Biden’s dealings with Ukraine and Burisma. We must begin by acknowledging that whether something is legal or ethical are actually two different questions. The law… Continue reading Joe Biden, an ethical indictment of his family’s influence peddling scheme
