The world’s only one man media empire
Suddenly, the experts are insisting a recession is on the way after a full year of telling us the economy was breaking records and they’re looking for someone to blame. Apparently, that someone is you for getting a job and demanding better pay, pay no attention to their failed policies or the man in the… Continue reading The looming economic disaster, brought to you by President Biden
Before the invasion, our top military commanders believed Russia would conquer Ukraine in 72 hours, but last week they claimed the war could go on for an indefinite period, up to a decade, and nothing could have prevented it except for US boots on the ground. Rarely has history been rewritten to cover abject failure… Continue reading Ukraine: Get ready for another unending war, now they tell us
It’s long past time to resign the great Greek philosopher’s vision of government to the ash heap of history, and yet the establishment continues to cling to something eerily close to his vision of a guardian class empowered with the noble lie. Literally everything has changed since Plato’s day, but some things remain the same…… Continue reading Plato’s Republic and the persistence of the noble lie
Democratic governance is so pathetically awful they can’t even pass a slam dunk bill that will simultaneously weaken drug cartels, reduce confrontations with police, and drive new revenue, but why should we be surprised as President Biden presides over a worst of times scenario like we’ve never seen in modern history? It’s taken for granted… Continue reading Progressives can’t even legalize marijuana
The so-called “Don’t Say Gay” bill should prompt an important conversation about the nature of sex education for younger children, but instead of clearly saying what they mean, as in how young they would introduce topics like sexuality and gender identity, progressives choose to malign and misdirect. Why is that? The progressive world and much… Continue reading Sex Education: Progressives should explain clearly how they want this to work
The world’s richest man and self-proclaimed “free speech absolutist” is now the largest shareholder of the social media platform after haranguing it as a threat to democracy for limiting speech. This isn’t a purely academic point after the platform blatantly interfered in the 2020 election. In a more rational and fair world, Twitter would be… Continue reading Elon Musk: Are much needed changes coming to Twitter?
Somehow, some media outlets have decided that white people are to blame for the infamous slap, or at least white people are making it worse, or white people have done worse, or something, so long as everyone understands a hugely successful actor cannot be responsible for their own actions. I suppose it was inevitable that… Continue reading Will Smith is whiter than I am
Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson claims you need to be a biologist to define “woman” while the mainstream media ponders whether that level of expertise is enough. Meanwhile, race-based Critical Race Theory is said to be the domain of rarified legal experts, even as schools are implementing race-based disciplinary policies driven by it. Of… Continue reading According to progressives, everything takes an expert
What can the scientific community do to return to theories grounded in reality, testable against the evidence, and make meaningful strides toward a better understanding of the universe and our place in it? There are ways to test the underpinnings of our physics if we will only try. Last week, I argued that modern physics… Continue reading Modern physics and the way the universe actually works
The President’s trip to Europe was marred by unforced errors, a lack of any coherent strategy, no new and creative plans, and a general sense that trying hard is good enough. Abraham Lincoln at Gettysburg Biden certainly is not. Instead, it seems he’s angling for the first Presidential Participation Trophy. Last week, President Biden traveled… Continue reading Biden and the free word on the brink
