The real problem might not be with the shooter himself, but the darkness in the hearts of those celebrating the brutal killing of a 31 year old man with two young children, those who have become what they claim to hate. While we do not yet know who assassinated conservative activist and Turning Point USA… Continue reading The progressive heart of darkness

Nosferatu and how Hollywood has become miners instead of creators
Perhaps if it had come out in 1970, it would have been a revelation, but I can’t stop myself from asking why Robert Eggers, a relatively young, supposedly talented director, chose to make this film, retreading more than a century old ground, mining rather than creating. Nosferatu isn’t a bad film. From a technical perspective,… Continue reading Nosferatu and how Hollywood has become miners instead of creators
Trump’s war on the cartels and a tragic lesson from Biden’s failure in Afghanistan
When a strike is successful, arguments about laws, rights, or whatever will be far from persuasive, but these same laws, rights, or whatever exist to determine when someone is guilty of a crime. Four years ago, the military botched a strike on suspected terrorists in Afghanistan and ended up killing ten innocent people. Last week,… Continue reading Trump’s war on the cartels and a tragic lesson from Biden’s failure in Afghanistan
Trump and some hard truths about the piss poor jobs report
Though the President himself warned there would be short term disruption, it doesn’t matter who or what is to blame. It could be tariffs, it could be Trump, it could be that the job fairy is taking a vacation, or a mass delusion that the economy is worse than it is, numbers like this can’t… Continue reading Trump and some hard truths about the piss poor jobs report
No, the Founders had nothing in common with the Ayatollah of Iran or Sharia law
“The notion that rights don’t come from laws and don’t come from the government, but come from the Creator — that’s what the Iranian government believes. It’s a theocratic regime that bases its rule on Sharia law,” said Democrat Senator Tim Kaine at recent Senate hearing, revealing how progressives truly feel about the Founding. For… Continue reading No, the Founders had nothing in common with the Ayatollah of Iran or Sharia law
You need to be living in a simulation to believe Trump is sick or suddenly died while insisting for years Biden was fit as the proverbial fiddle
How else can you explain last weekend’s progressive delusion that President Trump suddenly died and the truth was being hidden for some unexplained, yet undoubtedly nefarious reason while his predecessor President Biden was healthy as the proverbial horse? While I have never been a fan of so-called scientific theories that claim we are living in… Continue reading You need to be living in a simulation to believe Trump is sick or suddenly died while insisting for years Biden was fit as the proverbial fiddle
I am Voyager 1 and I have traveled beyond the Solar System, further than any object made by human hands
Conceived and built in a lab by engineers using slide rules and tee squares, I was launched on a rocket, leveraged another rocket to shoot me into space, swept past Jupiter and Saturn, and then exited the Solar System across a career longer than my human creators. I am Voyager 1 and I have traveled… Continue reading I am Voyager 1 and I have traveled beyond the Solar System, further than any object made by human hands
An atheist on the power of prayer
Beyond the inability to understand the basic nature of prayer, one must wonder what kind of complete asshole – as Stanley Kubrick might say – outright rejects and belittles a prayer offered on their or someone else’s behalf to begin with? While the average American was still reeling from the tragic news that Robin Westman,… Continue reading An atheist on the power of prayer
Trump’s stake in Intel and the free market fantasy
“I don’t care if it’s a dollar or a billion-dollar stake,” Republican Senator Thom Tillis protested. “That starts feeling like a semi state-owned enterprise à la CCCP,” he added, referring to the old acronym for the USSR. “I don’t believe the U.S. government should be picking winners and losers.” President Donald Trump’s almost unprecedented decision… Continue reading Trump’s stake in Intel and the free market fantasy
Gaza and Ukraine: A tale of two different forever wars
While the two conflicts certainly aren’t the same, there are similarities after several years of fighting, but ironically, conservatives and progressives tend to take the opposite view of each. Admittedly, I have been skeptical of our efforts to help Ukraine prevail against the Russian invasion while being generally supportive of Israel’s efforts against Hamas in… Continue reading Gaza and Ukraine: A tale of two different forever wars
