The world’s only one man media empire
From January 6th to the pandemic with Senator John Fetterman in between, the narratives promoted by the government, political, and media establishments are devolving into lies and falsehoods. Anyone who claims to care about democracy should care about this… Earlier this week, Fox News’ Tucker Carlson began releasing video footage from inside the Capitol Building… Continue reading Lies, lies, and more lies are not the foundation for a functioning democracy
The President of the United States recklessly and dangerously unleashed F22 Raptors on three amateur balloons in as many days with no explanation. The Founders would’ve considered this an impeachable offense and a subordinate would likely face criminal charges under the Uniform Code of Military Justice. The Biden Administration and the media have rapidly moved… Continue reading Provocative opinion: Balloon-gate is an impeachable offense
Biology and physics don’t care about your body image. Obesity is a killer according to science, but that isn’t enough to prevent a burgeoning movement championing everything from letting children eat whatever they want to envisioning a science fiction future populated by the morbidly obese. Many Americans struggle with their weight, fighting what appears to… Continue reading The future is fat and that’s not good for anyone
One month after the train derailment and subsequent chemical spill in East Palestine, Ohio, residents are being diagnosed with chemical bronchitis, rashes, and other disturbing symptoms despite claims from environmental and health authorities that the region is safe. Meanwhile, the Biden Administration and the media try to blame a President who hasn’t been in office… Continue reading Ohio Train Derailment: The anatomy of a government, political, and media failure
More than twenty years ago, Steven Spielberg completed Stanley Kubrick’s final passion project, a film about artificial intelligence and machines that is equal parts prophetic from a modern perspective, uneven as a movie, and unfulfilled as a work of art. Today, everyone is talking about Artificial Intelligence. The emergence of ChatGPT and subsequent competitors capable… Continue reading Spielberg’s thought provoking bastardization of Kubrick, A.I. Artificial Intelligence
The media would rather shoot the messenger, however inartful or incendiary, than acknowledge the troubling reality that race relations in the United States have gotten far worse since Critical Race Theory, intersectionality, and the woke mentality went mainstream ten years ago. Last week the creator of Dilbert, a popular comic strip skewering life in the… Continue reading Dilbert is done, but let’s not pretend Scott Adams wasn’t reacting to a disturbing development
The data couldn’t be more stark. Over the past ten years, teenagers are more depressed, more prone to thoughts of suicide, and more likely to attempt ending their own life. Some think smart phones and social media are to blame, but I believe the problem goes much deeper and starts much earlier with the culture… Continue reading What’s wrong with the kids today, revisited?
Roald Dahl’s classic children’s books including Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and James and the Giant Peach recently received a woke makeover that included the removal of the word “white” in instances completely unrelated to race or ethnicity. Is the color itself suddenly problematic? Last week, The Telegraph reported that Puffin, a division of Penguin… Continue reading The war on white apparently includes the word itself
Bizarre behavior, dark fantasies about terrorism, claims to have hacked people’s webcams, and actual threats have prompted many to express fear at the face of this new development and some to claim the robots are about to take over the world. The headlines are everywhere, ChatGPT integrated with Microsoft Bing, is on a rampage and… Continue reading ChatGPT is a harmless blowhard not a world-conquering super intelligence
Steven Pinker coined the phrase “progressaphobia” to describe the fear of believing real progress has been made on race relations and racial equality in the United States, but one need only pick up a history book to see how far we’ve come.
