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

Where there’s the smoke of scandal, there’s the fire of corruption except for President Biden

Under normal circumstances, a politician repeatedly lying about something, forget abruptly changing policies on his own, would suggest – at a minimum – they have something to hide, but somehow, for some unstated reason, none of that is supposed to apply to President Biden. President Joe Biden’s supporters have adopted a curiously obtuse perspective, one… Continue reading Where there’s the smoke of scandal, there’s the fire of corruption except for President Biden

Springsteen’s “Man’s Job” and our endless capacity for self delusion

“Man’s Job,” a little known track from Human Touch, presents an interim step on the journey into darkness and despair, before the lover is overwhelmed by loss, treating jealousy as something of a delusion or self-rationalization, the denial phase of grief, right up until the point it isn’t. “Man’s Job” is the first of two… Continue reading Springsteen’s “Man’s Job” and our endless capacity for self delusion

Facebook’s feed is a disaster and our tech overlords are emperors with no clothes

Earlier this year, my Facebook feed was suddenly awash with homosexual content for a couple of weeks. Now, it’s on to half naked women, all with no rhyme or reason. The veneer of all powerful technology is mostly false marketing spin or delusions of grandeur...  Today’s world is driven by technology, creating the general impression… Continue reading Facebook’s feed is a disaster and our tech overlords are emperors with no clothes

Trump, the mugshot seen around the world, and progressive blather about the rule of law

We cannot say for sure if he is enraged, defiant, determined, or some combination of all three and more, but we can say that this is not a man who is going to walk quietly into obscurity, either in prison or otherwise, and likely with good reason given the underlying issues at play. Last week,… Continue reading Trump, the mugshot seen around the world, and progressive blather about the rule of law

White saviors, the progressive preference for fantasy over reality, and the reality that they secretly want black people to suffer

An almost 15-year old controversy over the Academy Award winning film, The Blind Side, is thrust back into the spotlight, proving once and for all that no good deed goes unpunished for progressives, and helping others through good works only counts if you are of the right race. We should all agree that modern storytellers… Continue reading White saviors, the progressive preference for fantasy over reality, and the reality that they secretly want black people to suffer

Hawaii, Biden’s “heck of a job,” competence, compassion, and empathy this certainly isn’t

The President is lucky in one regard:  He’s not George W. Bush or any other Republican, and so despite showing about as much empathy as Freddy Kreuger does while stalking a victim in a nightmare, he can count on the mainstream media to either ignore his failings entirely or spin them into some kind of… Continue reading Hawaii, Biden’s “heck of a job,” competence, compassion, and empathy this certainly isn’t

Biden’s vaccine mandate “conspiracy” to defraud the government and the American people

The President mandated vaccines based on false statements, faulty science, outright lies, and flawed legal reasoning only to be rejected by the Supreme Court after untold people lost their jobs, American rights were trampled, and the country thrown into chaos. These days, this should be an indictable offense. On November 4, 2021, President Joe Biden… Continue reading Biden’s vaccine mandate “conspiracy” to defraud the government and the American people
