If a 17-year old white kid involved in a tragic incident with three white adults can divide the entire country along partisan lines, raising the specter of white supremacy and white privilege, is there anything that can’t? No one should know Kyle Rittenhouse’s name. In some slightly more rational world, he would be a normal,… Continue reading Kyle Rittenhouse and the collapse of common sense and decency

BOOK EXCERPT: A few more pages from “Far From Home: The City Under the Sea”
“Mirra found an apt visual metaphor for both the hidden smoldering of human emotion and the literal unraveling of the colony in the crystal clear video footage of the hydroplant before and after the flames. It was replayed countless times, from countless angles in the days that followed, enough for her to connect the three… Continue reading BOOK EXCERPT: A few more pages from “Far From Home: The City Under the Sea”
Biden’s approval rating sucks for obvious reasons that aren’t likely to change
The pandemic continues and unexpected new crises have cropped up, from halfway around the world, to the border, even into your dining room. There’s nothing normal about America less than a year into the Biden presidency, and almost nothing in the entire world has changed for the better. It’s a miracle Biden’s approval ratings aren’t… Continue reading Biden’s approval rating sucks for obvious reasons that aren’t likely to change
Infrastructure: Key provisions and mandates that could yield poisonous fruit in the future
There’s a pilot program to track every mile and tax you for the privilege, a mandate to detect drunk driving and presumably stop your car, perhaps lock you up, a billion for “racist” infrastructure and other equity carve outs. This is infrastructure according to Congress and the President. There’s no vision, no plan, just dollars… Continue reading Infrastructure: Key provisions and mandates that could yield poisonous fruit in the future
The FBI raids a journalist’s home before dawn and no one seems to care
Who approved the warrant for 10 FBI agents and a battering ram in search of information regarding a supposedly pilfered diary that the journalists themselves brought to the attention of law enforcement a year ago?

Inflation is good, or at least nothing to worry about, so claim the experts
Who knew spiking prices and shortages of everything were a positive development? We’ve gone from inflation wasn’t going to happen, period, to it’s happening but it’ll be short-lived, to it’s actually a good thing to begin with in less than 10 months. The spin is strong as the experts try to explain away what’s eating… Continue reading Inflation is good, or at least nothing to worry about, so claim the experts
Dune and the inescapable insanity of woke art criticism
Dune is a good film and an even better book, but that’s not enough in the year 2021. It isn’t a “white savior” narrative either, though someone, somewhere said it might be. Therefore, the woke have no choice but to act as if it is, even as most of them know it’s not. And don’t… Continue reading Dune and the inescapable insanity of woke art criticism
Biden gets a big win on infrastructure, but is missing a massive opportunity on manufacturing
The $1.2 trillion bipartisan infrastructure plan finally passes the House of Representatives, giving President Biden a much needed political win, but instead of focusing on supply chains and manufacturing moving forward to permanently address wide-spread shortages and spiking prices, progressives continue to push massive social spending and a tax break for the rich of all… Continue reading Biden gets a big win on infrastructure, but is missing a massive opportunity on manufacturing
The ever-changing language of the left and the never ending pursuit of power
The explosion of new words and phrases, from BIPOC to Latinx to systemic racism, is no accident or organic development. The goal is to change the terms of the debate and advance progressive policies, controlling the language to reorganize the world around intersectionality, Critical Race Theory, and other leftist goals straight out of George Orwell’s… Continue reading The ever-changing language of the left and the never ending pursuit of power
VA and NJ: The Democrat brand is completely toxic barely 10 months after President Biden took office
Once upon a time, Biden was a moderate who would bring the country together and return us to normalcy after the tumult of the Trump years.
