Critical Race Theory: A leading antiracist puts forward a radical, ridiculous new theory as to why this corrosive ideology is essential in schools

Christian TwisteLeave a comment

Ibram X. Kendi is very concerned that online gaming has become a hotbed of white supremacist recruitment, and the only real protection we can offer to prevent this indoctrination is to indoctrinate the kids with antiracism.  Of course, if you disagree, you are a white supremacist yourself.  Who could’ve guess it? You know things aren’t… Continue reading Critical Race Theory: A leading antiracist puts forward a radical, ridiculous new theory as to why this corrosive ideology is essential in schools

It’s long past time to discuss President Biden’s obvious mental decline

Christian TwisteLeave a comment

The media doesn’t seem to care, indeed is doing its best to hide it, but we cannot have a President doddering around a stage, shaking hands with the empty air without serious repercussions.  Talk of the 25th Amendment was all the rage when President Trump was in office.  We need some of that now, fast,… Continue reading It’s long past time to discuss President Biden’s obvious mental decline

The NYC subway shooter, the media, and the strange failure of content moderation

Christian TwisteLeave a comment

The NYC subway shooter’s social media profile revealed hundreds of anti-racist and other disturbing rants, where he argued the races should be separated and asked “black Jesus” to kill all white people.  The media, however, thinks he’s anti-black, and no one has even bothered to ask how these inflammatory, racist posts made it past the… Continue reading The NYC subway shooter, the media, and the strange failure of content moderation

The looming economic disaster, brought to you by President Biden

Christian TwisteLeave a comment

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

Ukraine: Get ready for another unending war, now they tell us

Christian TwisteLeave a comment

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

Plato’s Republic and the persistence of the noble lie

Christian Twiste1 Comment

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

Progressives can’t even legalize marijuana

Christian TwisteLeave a comment

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

Sex Education: Progressives should explain clearly how they want this to work

Christian TwisteLeave a comment

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

Elon Musk: Are much needed changes coming to Twitter?

Christian TwisteLeave a comment

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?

Will Smith is whiter than I am

Christian TwisteLeave a comment

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
