Teddy Roosevelt and the pressing need for a new Americanism

In an era of unbridled optimism and outright racism, Americanism was the idea that the principles of democracy, the rights and responsibilities enjoyed by a free people, driven by free enterprise and the free exchange of ideas, and governed by the equal application of the law were destined to transform the world, ushering in prosperity… Continue reading Teddy Roosevelt and the pressing need for a new Americanism

The media’s reaction to President Biden’s document scandal reveals how little they care about you

The mainstream media is convinced the debacle over documents is the worst political crisis of President Biden’s tenure in office, even as they provide cover for him and the Department of Justice, but why are they ignoring all of the other disasters on his watch and the steady stream of lies and dissembling that have… Continue reading The media’s reaction to President Biden’s document scandal reveals how little they care about you

We keep finding too many galaxies in the early universe, further undermining the Big Bang theory, but physicists are too busy going woke to care

A meeting of the American Astronomy Society reveals the existence of hundreds of new galaxies much further away and therefore further back in time than we expected, prompting scientists to reconsider theories of galaxy formation if not the Big Bang entirely while other astrophysicists rail against the white supremacy of exceptionalism and perfectionism. The James… Continue reading We keep finding too many galaxies in the early universe, further undermining the Big Bang theory, but physicists are too busy going woke to care

Gas stoves and the ever grasping hands of government

The federal government might or might not be targeting extremely popular natural gas stove tops, but the state of New York most certainly is along with other gas appliances based on suspect concerns about health risks and global warming.  An all-electric future is a crusade for some, who are more than willing to force you… Continue reading Gas stoves and the ever grasping hands of government

Biden: The classified document is now on the other foot

The discovery of multiple sets of classified documents at President Biden’s old offices reveals how ridiculous the accusations were against President Trump last year and how unnecessary the unprecedented FBI raid on his Mar-a-Lago residence, but rather than enjoy the show even some so-called conservatives can’t resist taking unnecessary shots at the former President.

Celebrating 500 posts: Why and how I write

My writing process can best be described as vomiting on the screen and sifting through it in search of an editable morsel.  The morsel is then preserved as I throw up again and repeat the process.  Many morsels do not make it, some do as the process repeats itself into something resembling a final product. … Continue reading Celebrating 500 posts: Why and how I write

White supremacy is no longer white in 2023

From “the black face of white supremacy” to “white supremacy comes in all colors,” progressives keep changing yet another definition purely for political purposes, abandoning principle for saying whatever they feel will advance their radical policy goals.

Who’s afraid of a little actual voting in Congress?

The House of Representatives is in the process of making the sort of history one doesn’t really want to make as the selection of Speaker moves to at least the 12th ballot, suggesting that the Republican party is fractured, which should not be much of a surprise after the midterm elections. This week, the political… Continue reading Who’s afraid of a little actual voting in Congress?
