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. When the… Continue reading Fauci has a lot of explaining to do and a simple Darwinian test for the origin of coronavirus

President Biden is unhinged, or at least that’s what the media would be saying were he President Trump
Last year, I proposed the Trump Test, that is imagine your reaction if Trump was the President instead of Biden, and Trump was the one insulting reporters, tacitly granting permission for Russia to invade Ukraine, and claiming he was “outperforming” expectations in the midst of constant crises. The media had a term for this. They… Continue reading President Biden is unhinged, or at least that’s what the media would be saying were he President Trump
Progressives have discovered the root cause of violent crime and it isn’t actually criminals
In a rational world, a 55% spike in homicides would prompt an equivalent increase in arrests, but instead arrests have fallen over the same period, putting more criminals on the street. Meanwhile, progressives insist that guns are actually to to blame and they have the non-causative data to prove it. As New York City reels… Continue reading Progressives have discovered the root cause of violent crime and it isn’t actually criminals
Inland Empire and the mad genius of David Lynch
The enigmatic, often inscrutable Inland Empire intentionally defies, if not outright demolishes, traditional narratives at every turn. Instead of a single, linear story, we have four, almost circular primary threads. The making of the film in the first place also prompts a lot of questions, something of a mystery in and of itself. Ultimately, this… Continue reading Inland Empire and the mad genius of David Lynch
Coronavirus testing: Insane in principle, a fiasco in practice
Someone really needs to explain why we are obsessed with testing sick people, healthy people, vaccinated people, unvaccinated people, travelers, workers, and more, even if they have little to no risk for serious disease, the results come in after a person is recovered, and the tests can’t tell us whether a person is spreading the… Continue reading Coronavirus testing: Insane in principle, a fiasco in practice
Did President Biden just have the worst first year in modern history?
The President’s approval rating is at the bottom of the spectrum for the modern era. More people identify as Republicans than at any time since 1995, and the country is beset by challenges and crises from all sides. For a man that promised a return to normalcy, we’ve seen nothing like it. Of course, it’s… Continue reading Did President Biden just have the worst first year in modern history?
The Supreme Court does precisely what it’s supposed to do, prompting progressives to claim there’s no difference between work and play, plus other absurdities
Progressive pundits take aim at the Supreme Court for ruling that a workplace safety law actually applies to the workplace, claiming there is no distinction between the two. Others believe the Court has exceeded its power by ensuring agencies operate within the bounds of their legal mandate. Still others blame Republicans in general and demand… Continue reading The Supreme Court does precisely what it’s supposed to do, prompting progressives to claim there’s no difference between work and play, plus other absurdities
The Tragedy of Macbeth and the Immortal Genius of William Shakespeare
An excellent new film adaptation combines a stark abstraction with rich performances and stunning moments to illuminate the complexities underlying a simple plot, but no single version can ever capture the impenetrable duality of man that serves as Shakespeare’s true subject matter. Free will or foreordained? We are a product of both, and this play… Continue reading The Tragedy of Macbeth and the Immortal Genius of William Shakespeare
The FBI has a long history of using confidential informants in legally and morally ambiguous ways
The Justice Department is refusing to answer questions about the possible role confidential informants played in the January 6th riots at the Capitol Building, prompting many conservatives to wonder if they helped incite the mob. They have every reason to be suspicious after the FBI has used these techniques for decades against both left and… Continue reading The FBI has a long history of using confidential informants in legally and morally ambiguous ways

The Canadian power trio’s fourth album was a turning point in their career and their most commercially successful effort at the time. It is also perhaps their most prophetic.
