Benjamin Franklin famously or infamously said that the country was a Republic, if you can keep it. To liken great things to small, this is a blog if I can keep it up, but isn’t that true of everything in life? When I started this blog in November 2020, it wasn’t clear to me how… Continue reading Celebrating 1,000 posts with a few near incoherent thoughts on the past, present, and future

The Orange Man Bad Theory of Everything
As a general rule, at least some policies are going to have a neutral impact if only because they are ineffective, not everything is going to be illegal or unconstitutional, and the worst possible political and other outcome isn’t going to happen in every situation. While it’s traditional for the opposition party to oppose, I… Continue reading The Orange Man Bad Theory of Everything
Democrats can’t handle the truth on illegal orders
“If you look at popular culture, like, you watch, you know, A Few Good Men, like we have plenty of examples since World War II, in Vietnam, where people were told to follow illegal orders, and they did it, and they were prosecuted for it,” Senator Elissa Slotkin thinks she’s Tom Cruise confronting Jack Nicholson.… Continue reading Democrats can’t handle the truth on illegal orders
I am a Thanksgiving turkey and I live to die for your holiday meal
Chickens? Pigs? Cows? They get slaughtered all year for any old meal, but not me. I’m special and I serve a higher purpose, so forget the various controversies surrounding the holiday over the centuries and belly up to the table. I am a Thanksgiving turkey. You might find me roasted, smoked, or fried at the… Continue reading I am a Thanksgiving turkey and I live to die for your holiday meal
Disgusting: The media is happy to undermine US foreign policy if they believe it hurts Trump
Rather than ask a substantiative question about the future of the Middle East and the world, the media preferred to focus on an eight year old murder and invoke 9-11 to embarrass the President and the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia in person. Last week, President Donald Trump welcomed Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman… Continue reading Disgusting: The media is happy to undermine US foreign policy if they believe it hurts Trump
Is there any peak to Democrat delusions or can the insanity increase forever?
The real Epstein question is whether these increasingly extreme delusions – and, yes, anyone who thinks an already well covered “scandal” regarding a person that’s been dead for almost six years will take down a sitting President is deluded – will ever end. Sadly, there is no evidence that’s the case. In the world of… Continue reading Is there any peak to Democrat delusions or can the insanity increase forever?
No, AI cannot translate animal sounds into human speech because animals don’t freaking talk
For some reason, the experts are claiming we can translate animal speech that doesn’t really exist in the same sense as human speech, and they are proposing to do so with only half the necessary data, the sounds alone without the show, so to speak. Late last year, the Coller Dolittle Prize announced that researchers… Continue reading No, AI cannot translate animal sounds into human speech because animals don’t freaking talk
Sydney Sweeney versus Zohran Mamdani 2040: The revolution will now be cosplayed
Somehow, an actress is slammed as a white supremacist archetype of conservatism for appearing in an advertisement as celebrities frequently do while two obvious phonies, children of privilege who claim to be socialist revolutionaries, are the new face of the Democrat Party, redefining politics for an entire generation. Over the past six months, perhaps no… Continue reading Sydney Sweeney versus Zohran Mamdani 2040: The revolution will now be cosplayed
The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari and the audacity of the earliest filmmakers
Somehow, a silent film managed to include a false framing device that serves to mislead the viewer and set up a twist ending straight out of a modern movie, a love triangle, a flashback within a flashback, multiple murders, a murder investigation with a falsely accused suspect, an abduction, and more. Over a century after… Continue reading The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari and the audacity of the earliest filmmakers
Reminder: The Constitution doesn’t actually mention tariffs and the Supreme Court ruled in 1928 that the power can be delegated to the President
Rather than looking at the Constitution, the history, the law, and the facts, many automatically assume President Trump will not prevail at the Supreme Court or anything else, but what else is new? Last week, Supreme Court pundits and watchers were convinced the Justices were set to overturn President Trump’s global tariff policy because several… Continue reading Reminder: The Constitution doesn’t actually mention tariffs and the Supreme Court ruled in 1928 that the power can be delegated to the President
