The world’s only one man media empire
Our failure in Afghanistan is the result of policy goals that could never be achieved and lies to cover up our failure to achieve them. Unfortunately, this pattern isn’t limited to the Middle East. It infects just about everything, from our response to coronavirus to climate change, we’re always planning to do the impossible, then… Continue reading Afghanistan: Lofty dreams and outright lies, the wreckage of neoconservatism and its lessons for our entire approach to government
Twenty years, four Presidents, thousands of lives, tens of thousands of injuries, and trillions of dollars later, the vaunted Afghan Army refuses to take the field and the entire country falls in barely a month. There’s no shortage of blame to go around when our entire strategy was based on a steady stream of lies...… Continue reading Afghanistan: Don’t look now, but we just lost another war on Biden’s watch
Apparently, the bipartisan effort is hostage to a secondary, entirely partisan effort, and changes to the partisan effort, even by the party pushing that same partisan effort, undermine the bipartisan one. Are you following? If you care about democratic norms, this is your moment... It was finally infrastructure week in Washington, DC when 19 clueless… Continue reading The Infrastructure Scam: Clueless Republicans and increasingly radical Democrats make for a toxic mix
The Emmy Winning Governor resigns over accusations of sexual harassment, but despite ranking second in the country in deaths and a scandal over nursing homes, is still lauded by President Biden and others, even as liberals start to rewrite history and claim they knew he was a creep all along. How the mighty have fallen: … Continue reading Cuomo: We hardly knew ye, except we did and that was more than enough
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change issues its latest report as leading climate alarmists claim we have “zero years” left to avoid catastrophic effects, but what do the report and analysis actually say? And why can’t we just focus on capturing carbon in the atmosphere instead of ever more intrusive and complex schemes no one… Continue reading The pressure to “act” on climate change is more intense than the warming and the weather
As government, universities, and private employers implement vaccine mandates and some municipalities require vaccines for entry to restaurants and gyms, it’s worth considering the applicable legal standards and how this would actually work in practice when some two thirds of minority groups will no longer be allowed to eat out. Is this the America you… Continue reading Mandates, passports, restaurant requirements, and more: Making life “extremely” difficult for the unvaccinated
President Biden extends the moratorium on evictions with the full knowledge he has exceeded his Constitutional authority. As Democrat politicians praise the move along with much of the media, whatever happened to all the concern about democratic norms and unchecked executive power? This is the exact crisis they warned about happening right before their eyes...… Continue reading Constitutional Crisis: Has the long awaited event finally arrived?
Scientists are very, very concerned about “dead zones” in the ocean, areas of low oxygen that can kill every creature in their path. We’re tracking one right now off the coast of Oregon, even as others around the world are shrinking. We know they’re caused by fertilizer running off into the sea, but instead are… Continue reading The oceans are dying and, of course, it’s your fault
Vice President Kamala Harris releases a long awaited strategy to address the “root causes” of the surge on the border, but a closer look at the document and the complete lack of details reveals they don’t plan to do anything at all that hasn’t been tried for 50 years. Alas, it’s the same situation with… Continue reading The root cause canard on the border and elsewhere
We’ve never successfully controlled an airborne virus, cured or developed an effective vaccine for a coronavirus or the flu, or even successfully modeled anything as complex as a spreading, mutating virus, and yet we still continue to persist in the fantasy we can, despite all evidence. As the Delta surge continues and public health experts… Continue reading Coronavirus: The insane hubris underlying our entire response
