The world’s only one man media empire
The progressive firebrand defines capitalism in a way no one actually believes in the 21st century, if ever. Next, she confuses government power with corporate power, and finally she calls for “alternative ways of doing businesses” which have already been a part of capitalism for generations before demanding even more government control. “I believe that… Continue reading AOC is deeply confused about capitalism, socialism, and just about everything else
Jon Stewart and Bill Maher defend free speech for fellow celebrities, but I can’t help wondering if they are speaking up more in sympathy than in support of free speech as a universal principle when few if any are concerned about the truckers in Canada protesting cross-border vaccine mandates under the name Freedom Convoy 2022.… Continue reading Joe Rogan, Whoopi Goldberg, the Canadian Truckers, and free speech
The Simpsons numbers over 700 episodes and counting. The show has birthed a thousand memes on social media, is said to have predicted the Donald Trump Presidency, but remains a family comedy at heart, turning this tried and true formula into an ongoing commentary on American life and culture. The Simpsons is more legend than… Continue reading The Simpsons: America’s favorite animated family is still brilliant, funny, and biting after 33 years
A new study from Johns Hopkins completely destroys the narrative that the lockdowns and other punitive measures were effective tools to save lives during the pandemic. Once upon a time we were told millions were saved, but now we are learning they did more harm than good even if the media and public health establishment… Continue reading The coronavirus lockdowns were a complete failure at their own stated goal, but don’t tell Dr. Fauci
Bill Maher is the latest liberal to start taking aim at the left instead of the right. Normally, this might be nothing more than an interesting squabble between two factions of the left and the far left, but the principles underlying the battleground are far too essential and the stakes far too high to simply… Continue reading Progressives versus liberals, the battle begins, and the fate of America might hang in the balance
My father was a car guy and “Racing in the Street” was a natural choice for him in many ways, but the darkness underlying the song hints at unexplained emotional depths, mirroring some of his own demons, and how he wished something better for his own children. My father passed away a year ago this… Continue reading My father’s favorite Springsteen song
Two groundbreaking new studies provide important evidence for key theories about the evolution of humans and the interplay between viral RNA and our own cells, offering a glimpse of how science evaluates competing ideas and a potential window into the nature of all life on Earth. Last month, a groundbreaking new study in Proceedings of… Continue reading Evolutionary biology and the beauty of confirming hypotheses with data and experiments
Justice Stephen Breyer’s announcement wasn’t even official, but the battle was already engaged with some claiming a secret plot was afoot to install either Mitt Romney or Hillary Clinton as Vice President. Others took issue with the race of the potential nominee and Vice President Harris. Still others took aim at the rule of law… Continue reading A Supreme Court confirmation battle begins with a combination of the absurd, the crude, and the insane
The entire Nebraska album was recorded by Bruce Springsteen alone in his house on a 4-track cassette. At points, you can hear the creak of the rocking chair he sat in, but these meager beginnings do not limit the songs’ collective scope, power, and impact. “Atlantic City” combines it all in one haunting track. Bruce… Continue reading Bruce Springsteen’s Atlantic City: The personal and the universal connect in a timeless and versatile classic
New emails make clear Dr. Anthony Fauci and his boss, Dr. Francis Collins, knew precisely why coronavirus probably originated in a lab, but quickly covered it up in the name of “science and international harmony.” The complete turn around has never been explained because the virus fails a simple test known since Darwin.
