Somehow, the ticket broker service has lumbered on over time, immune to the radical upheaval of business other business models in the internet age, passing none of the technology savings onto the consumer, and becoming a near monopoly that charges ridiculous fees of up to $500 per ticket. Who doesn’t want to pay $5,000 a… Continue reading Bruce Springsteen broke Ticketmaster

Progressives reveal their true colors on illegal immigration
Millions of migrants have flooded border states over the past 18 months, straining local services and law enforcement like never before, but when a relative handful arrive in Washington, DC and New York City, progressive mayors cry foul and demand help from the federal government. Apparently, they believe someone else should pay the cost of… Continue reading Progressives reveal their true colors on illegal immigration
Russia: Sanctions aren’t doing jack shit
Rather than crippling the Russian economy as all the real card carrying experts promised, the ruble is stronger than it’s been in seven years and Russian oil exports are generating more revenue than ever. The outcome is the opposite of what was intended as the war in Ukraine rages on with no end in sight. … Continue reading Russia: Sanctions aren’t doing jack shit
AOC: The progressive victim that roared
It might be easy to dismiss Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s constant complaining and claims of victimhood were she not illustrative of the progressive movement in general, where even the highest of the high, including the President himself feigns powerlessness and pretends he’s merely a victim of events. Life is very difficult for progressive firebrand Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. We… Continue reading AOC: The progressive victim that roared
Joe Manchin: Slayer of planets and Democrat dreams all over again
Some shows are better in reruns, so it was last week when Senator Joe Manchin stood alone against his own party once again, stopping the insanity of increasing taxes and regulations in a period of rampant inflation and slowing economic growth. Both are the precise opposite of what economics demands, but Democrats are increasingly unmoored… Continue reading Joe Manchin: Slayer of planets and Democrat dreams all over again
Uvalde: Why is anyone surprised?
There are brave police officers who would willingly risk their lives, but the leadership at a local, state, and federal level has long moved past such an old fashioned, pedestrian mission. Why should local officials be any different than the big boys and girls in Washington, DC? There is no doubt that the Uvalde Police… Continue reading Uvalde: Why is anyone surprised?
The abortion debate deserves a lot more respect and accuracy than the blatant misinformation we’ve seen so far
Consensus was never going easy, but it’s not going to be possible at all if prominent progressives continue to lie with the express purpose of terrifying some portion of the public into thinking women of all ages will be denied life saving care throughout the country. Abortion is a serious issue, morally and medically. A… Continue reading The abortion debate deserves a lot more respect and accuracy than the blatant misinformation we’ve seen so far
Nobody likes Biden because nobody knows who he really is
Amid plunging poll numbers, progressives are abandoning the President and the President himself is lashing out. It’s easy to blame this on the myriad crises facing the country, but the real reason is that Biden himself has been on every side of every issue and no one knows who he really is. President Biden’s sinking… Continue reading Nobody likes Biden because nobody knows who he really is
No, Google’s LaMDA isn’t sentient and didn’t pass the Turing Test
After a Google engineer declares the company’s latest creation is a conscious and sentient machine, The Washington Post claims the Turing Test for Artificial Intelligence is broken, measuring merely deception. Both are incorrect in different ways as Turing’s genius remains applicable and relevant. Last month, The Washington Post proclaimed that Google’s latest natural language software,… Continue reading No, Google’s LaMDA isn’t sentient and didn’t pass the Turing Test
Stanley Kubrick’s Lolita and the collapse of Western Culture
The legendary director’s first great film is a dizzying blend of genres driven by a middle-aged man’s sexual fascination with a teenager. Told in a more straightforward style than much of his later work, the story beneath the surface is one of cultural decline, where villain and victim become increasingly hard to define in an… Continue reading Stanley Kubrick’s Lolita and the collapse of Western Culture
