The world’s only one man media empire
Robert Egger’s The Northman is based on the same source material as Shakespeare’s Hamlet, a Viking legend circa 1,000 AD, but takes a completely different path, crafting an almost anti-Hamlet. This “Shakespherean” mode of adaptation presents unique opportunity to return to Shakespeare’s original roots and illuminate both works. Despite attempts to cancel the world’s greatest… Continue reading Hamlet, The Northman, and Shakespeare’s genius through the looking glass
The President delivered a primetime speech about the “continued battle for the soul of the nation,” but who is he to declare close to half the country his enemies? What moral quality and compass does this man have to define democracy itself, proclaim himself everyone else’s better, and demand we conform to his view of… Continue reading Biden fancies himself John Quincy Adams, thinks he can save America
A new analysis continues to confirm Charles Darwin’s hypothesis that the first step towards humanity was walking upright, and his thoughts on the matter in Descent of Man still ring true over 150 years later, an incredible feat. Meanwhile, other scientists are finally beginning to solve the riddle of where teeth came from. It’s Darwin’s… Continue reading Humans walked the earth millions of years earlier than we believed and your teeth might be the scales of a fish
From Paul McCartney to Bruce Springsteen with Duran Duran in between, nobody imagined rock stars would still be performing decades after their debut, continuing to captivate fans around the world. There was no template for this in the early 1960’s but the music and the live performance is a magic all its own. Everyone, or… Continue reading Duran Duran and the magic of the aging rock star
A heavily redacted affidavit prompts more questions than answers, but much larger issues are at stake. Can anyone supersede the President’s classification powers? What if the information was declassified as Trump says and the entire investigation is based on a false premise? Why has no one answered that question? Who’s in charge of Presidential records,… Continue reading FBI raid: False premises, first principles, and friends like these
What do state and local governments, public education, the hospitality industry, the construction industry, the technology industry, the green energy industry, and, most recently, student loan recipients have in common? They’ve all been bailed out by President Biden, ushering in a new era of perpetual spending, sometimes with no vote in Congress required. Americans are… Continue reading The President of the Perpetual Bailout
Confronted by obvious, measurable, and specific flaws in the theory, proponents in the scientific establishment revert to the usual tactics of appealing to authority, misdirection, and smearing those who disagree. We might call this the “Dr. Fauci Dodge,” reserved for real card carrying experts. It’s a story that has become all too common in recent… Continue reading The Big Bang: The scientific establishment strikes back
New memos show the White House was closely involved in the investigation before the FBI, explicitly stating that Biden would take the almost unprecedented step of waiving legitimate Executive Privilege claims to transfer information to the Department of Justice. This means the investigation was engineered by the Biden Administration on highly suspect legal grounds, though… Continue reading Biden engineered the Trump raid by manipulating legal precedent and trashing democratic norms
Few theories are safe if Big Bang proponents cannot explain why the early universe looks nothing like they claimed. Dark Energy is no longer necessary. Light no longer moves at a constant speed. Einstein’s great theories are incomplete. Black holes might not exist. Time itself is fundamentally different than we believed, and this might be… Continue reading The Big Bang’s pending implosion will upend almost all of physics
The alternative to a trial of the former President is a continuation of the endless stream of leaks from prosecutors and misguided interpretations of the law from the real card carrying experts in the media. If you truly believe the former President is guilty of something, let him have his day in open court. Tell… Continue reading Enough: Indict Trump already or give it a rest
