Classified documents reveal the reality of the war in Ukraine to be far different from how it’s described by the administration and the media. New reporting suggests Ukrainian officials are stealing hundreds of millions of dollars and purchasing fuel from their enemy. The government and the media ignore all this, however, and focus exclusively on… Continue reading The government and the media want a license to lie with impunity

In the future, you will no longer be going mobile
The Biden Administration announced new emissions regulations that require a full two thirds of vehicles sold in 2032 to be electric, nine short years from now. Does anyone seriously believe that we are going to simultaneously increase the number of electric models by a factor of seven, car production by close to 12, and charging… Continue reading In the future, you will no longer be going mobile
I am woman, watch me be demeaned and ultimately erased
A former collegiate athlete speaking out about her experience competing with biological men is demeaned and barricaded in a bathroom while female-specific brands shower a trans woman who acts like a pixie with endorsements. Suddenly, it seems like women no longer fit into the cultural equation. “Yeah, you fucking trans-phobic bitch,” an unknown woman screamed… Continue reading I am woman, watch me be demeaned and ultimately erased
Democracy has no meaning anymore
The legal, lawful, and democratic expulsion of two lawmakers for willingly disrupting the proceedings of every other lawmaker in the Tennessee House Chamber can only be transformed into a threat to democracy if the word itself has no meaning anymore. “We called for you all to ban assault weapons, and you respond with an assault… Continue reading Democracy has no meaning anymore
Donald Trump and the creation of pseudo-crimes
The great historian Daniel J. Boorstin coined the phrase “pseudo-events” to describe the modern contrivances between politicians and the press that have the semblance of news but remain artificial and choreographed. Welcome to the era of “pseudo-crimes” where there is no underlying criminal act, only an endless investigation with the sole purpose of an indictment,… Continue reading Donald Trump and the creation of pseudo-crimes
Artificial Intelligence alarmists need to grow up and get a grip
The human race is not on the verge of extinction every time Open AI, Microsoft, or Google launch a new chatbot. AI is not going to cause everyone to die anytime soon, as a recent article in Time Magazine insists, and we should certainly not prioritize firing nuclear weapons to shut down AI research. This… Continue reading Artificial Intelligence alarmists need to grow up and get a grip
Bruce Springsteen has no equal or even an apt comparison
A 73 year old rocker and his equally old band are still playing close-to three hour shows, doubling the length and intensity of acts half their age. We’re in uncharted territory and few things illustrate it better than a live performance of “Jungleland” at Madison Square Garden. Last Saturday, Bruce Springsteen and the E Street… Continue reading Bruce Springsteen has no equal or even an apt comparison
How a dog sees and navigates the world
In many ways a dog navigates the same world as we do with shared systems and processes across our senses, but in others their reality is dramatically different with a sense of smell so powerful they can count molecules in the air and see ghosts. I can’t be the only dog lover who frequently looks… Continue reading How a dog sees and navigates the world
Biden’s budget is why the debt ceiling exists in the first place
The debt ceiling debate takes a strange turn after President Biden demands something of a duel among budgets without realizing that his own $6.9 trillion monstrosity, which would more than double the entire budget of just six years ago, is why the debt ceiling exists in the first place. Earlier this week, the Republican Speaker… Continue reading Biden’s budget is why the debt ceiling exists in the first place
Donald Trump and the ever present specter of political violence
The former President earned the ire of both progressives and moderate conservatives for stating the obvious that his indictment on seven-year old charges would cause “potential death & destruction,” but pointing out the truth should never be out of bounds, nor has it ever been in our history. Last week, former President Donald Trump earned… Continue reading Donald Trump and the ever present specter of political violence
