The world’s only one man media empire
Recent polls suggesting a 2010 style “shellacking” for Democrats are prompting a range of wild narratives to reframe the midterm elections. Administration officials and the mainstream media insist that President Biden’s accomplishments are simply too many and too vast to communicate to voters, while Biden himself claims Republicans will crash an economy already in recession.… Continue reading No, the problem for Democrats isn’t that Americans can’t understand how awesome they are
We can support Americans with disabilities and recognize that they enrich our lives, but that doesn’t mean any given American with a disability is ready for a demanding job in the Senate or that suffering a stroke gives a candidate an edge or benefits the entire world. How hard is that? This spring, Pennsylvania Senate… Continue reading Pennsylvania Senate Insanity: Some in the media claim it’s a good thing for everyone that the Democrat candidate suffered a major stroke
The jury’s failure to recommend the death penalty is only the last in an unbelievably long line of failures to make the tough decisions required for a functioning society. Everyone knew Mr. Cruz was a danger, but no one was willing to do anything about it despite dozens of chances. Sadly, a similar phenomenon plays… Continue reading Nikolas Cruz and our collective failure to make the difficult decisions society requires to function
Progressive historian Jon Meacham takes to the cover of Time Magazine to helpfully explain how President Abraham Lincoln saved democracy by destroying it in the bloodiest conflict in United States history, and how these lessons apply to today’s political battles against the dreaded Ultra MAGA. The narrative is clear, but the truth couldn’t be more… Continue reading Time Magazine: Maybe we should have another Civil War after all?
The former Congresswoman from Hawaii and 2020 Presidential Candidate officially leaves the Democrat Party. At least some of her reasons are likely shared by millions of Americans, but the reaction from her former fellow Democrats makes it clear they currently view their political party as a religion and will admit no introspection. If the party… Continue reading Tulsi Gabbard is likely one of millions leaving the Democrat party
Once upon a time, HBO’s House of the Dragon was praised for its commitment to diversity, and anyone who disagreed was attacked as a racist, but suddenly the woke have completely changed direction, and they’re now claiming black story lines haven’t been given the proper respect, wondering whether black people should watch the show at… Continue reading HBO’s House of the Dragon and woke casting, you’re damned if you do, damned if you don’t
Progressives are confused about crime. Their social justice philosophy views victims based on the facts of their birth, not the deeds that they’ve done. The saga of the Park Slope Panthers in Brooklyn, NY reveals that they’d rather have a homeless madman roaming the streets, terrorizing women and killing dogs, than protect the populace. Conservatives… Continue reading No, crime is not a “construct” created to keep the black man down
All living things from the simplest bacteria to ourselves make decisions, but not all decisions are created equal. Some are based on simple chemical reactions, or are driven by inflexible rules governing behavior, while others require complex intellectual machinery that ultimately leads to intelligence. Our own decision making journey began three million years ago and… Continue reading Decision-making, community, and the evolution of intelligence
Russia’s war in Ukraine isn’t going as planned with fierce fighting in contested regions, but the expulsion of Russia from Ukraine no longer appears to be the objective in Washington, at least in some quarters. Calls for a negotiated peace have been met with skepticism and scorn while Ukraine’s fast track application to NATO and… Continue reading The Washington elite wants war with Russia for whatever mad reason
AMC’s Interview with the Vampire and the “gay romcom” Bros substitute cheap shock value for real storytelling, reducing the homosexual community to demeaning caricatures in the service of what The New Yorker describes as a “radical vision of life outside of heteronormative strictures.” It’s exploitation plain and simple, call it “gaysploitation,” for the masses. We’ve… Continue reading Unpopular opinion: Hollywood’s exploitation of the gay community is demeaning, demented, and borderline disgusting
