BOOK EXCERPT: Yet another few pages from my forthcoming fantasy novel, “The Law of the Primes: The Boy King,” part one of a planned world-spanning trilogy

Christian TwisteLeave a comment

“The sergeant, Taz, didn’t have many meaningful thoughts throughout his prolonged captivity, nothing of consequence in his entire mind until he found himself at the very uncomfortable center of attention in an underground city straight out of some half-forgotten myth.  Before then, he’d been taken from the site of the attack on the skiffs, forcibly… Continue reading BOOK EXCERPT: Yet another few pages from my forthcoming fantasy novel, “The Law of the Primes: The Boy King,” part one of a planned world-spanning trilogy

Russian Collusion: The Durham investigation continues apace and the media continues to deny the reality of Hillary Clinton’s role

Christian TwisteLeave a comment

Last week, the Special Counsel released another round of indictments which the media dutifully ignored and then promptly pretended didn’t mean anything, but one thing is clear:  The Clinton campaign was behind the hoax the entire time, funneling false reports to an incredibly naïve and corrupt FBI and the media including the original Steele Dossier,… Continue reading Russian Collusion: The Durham investigation continues apace and the media continues to deny the reality of Hillary Clinton’s role

Ukraine: Why are we hyping up an invasion we can do nothing about?

Christian Twiste1 Comment

President Teddy Roosevelt once said, “speak softly and carry a big stick.”  This is the exact opposite:  We have no stick at all, and yet we’re carrying on as if we had a baseball bat.  So long as Europe is dependent on Russian energy, Russia will do what it wants in Eastern Europe. We should… Continue reading Ukraine: Why are we hyping up an invasion we can do nothing about?

Canadian Truckers: This is the people’s lockdown and the elites can’t stand it

Christian Twiste3 Comments

Some of the same government officials in the United States and Canada who shut down businesses and closed borders for years by executive edict, putting tens of thousands out of work, are decrying the negative impact of a peoples’ blockade of the Ambassador Bridge and even threatening their children.   Last week, the Freedom Convoy 2022… Continue reading Canadian Truckers: This is the people’s lockdown and the elites can’t stand it

To mask or not to mask, that is the question, and increasingly blue states are choosing not to

Christian Twiste3 Comments

Democrat controlled states are rapidly removing restrictions while case counts are over 20 times what Dr. Anthony Fauci once claimed were acceptable levels.  The science hasn’t changed, but the politics have, and even the Biden Administration is quietly working to alter how hospitalizations are calculated to drive cases down. The “science” on masking hasn’t changed. … Continue reading To mask or not to mask, that is the question, and increasingly blue states are choosing not to

No, unaccountable government agencies aren’t “democracy in action”

Christian Twiste1 Comment

Some progressives are openly claiming all power resides with federal agencies, and your power is limited to voicing your opinion.  They say they care deeply about democratic norms and assaults on democracy, while they assault every norm there is and redefine democracy at a whim, outright proposing technocratic authoritarianism and calling it democracy. Recent Supreme… Continue reading No, unaccountable government agencies aren’t “democracy in action”

AOC is deeply confused about capitalism, socialism, and just about everything else

Christian Twiste1 Comment

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

Joe Rogan, Whoopi Goldberg, the Canadian Truckers, and free speech

Christian Twiste2 Comments

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: America’s favorite animated family is still brilliant, funny, and biting after 33 years

Christian TwisteLeave a comment

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

The coronavirus lockdowns were a complete failure at their own stated goal, but don’t tell Dr. Fauci

Christian TwisteLeave a comment

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
