Is Trump really desperate for a deal in Iran or is time much more on our side than widely reported?
Why would a man that’s supposed to be desperate beyond belief to end hostilities with any kind of deal, refuse one that was on the table, and make a reasonably big show of going back and forth about it? According to conventional wisdom, President Donald Trump is desperate to make a deal with Iran. Like…
Maine’s Graham Platner and the sad truth that everything Democrats say is bullshit
Top Democrats are rallying around a Senate candidate with a Nazi tattoo, a long history of engaging in various sexual proclivities, and various other issues that make him somewhat Trumpian in the worst possible sense of the term according to his detractors. For more than a decade, Democrats and their progressive allies have insisted that…
Newark is the next battle in the immigration war and there will be more blood if progressives have their way
After an explosive January in Minneapolis, the progressive war against immigration enforcement subsided until recently, but this time, at least some local Democrat politicians are trying to keep the peace while placating the protestors. Earlier this year, progressives took to the streets of Minneapolis to protest immigration enforcement efforts with what many believed was the…
I am Achilles, the greatest warrior who ever lived, but I don’t want to fight
When I was born, my mother was cursed with a prophecy from the dreaded fates themselves. I could either remain at home to enjoy a long and peaceful life remembered by no one, or I could fight and die before the walls of Troy and become an immortal hero. I am Achilles, the greatest warrior…
The irony underlying widespread opposition to AI and its equally widespread usage
How can 70% of people be against the infrastructure for what most use on a daily basis and are only likely to use more? Has there ever been a useful, time saving technology we simply stopped using or have we tended to simply keep complaining while using it? If recent polls are any indication, Americans…
How humans have gone from the equivalent of wolves to domesticated dogs in just a few generations
We might fault the wolf for fighting a losing battle, but there is something to admire in their tenacity compared to the dog, which is all too eager to beg for a meal rather than obtain one on its own. Though wolves and dogs share enough DNA that they can successfully mate, producing offspring that…
Cooking at home versus eating out, life lessons from a middle class man whose most agonizing decision is what Porsche to get next
Whatever some may claim, it doesn’t take any particular genius, athletic ability, or stamina to boil a pot of water, roast a chicken, and toss a salad, and the difference between the cost of dining out or ordering in matters enough to purchase a luxury automobile over the years. Earlier this week, Shark Tank’s Kevin…
I am a crab and I have evolved at least five separate times, but no one knows why
We are present around the world, in every ocean, in some lakes, even on dry land. We are an old, proud order having shared the world with the dinosaurs 200 million years ago, but some of us aren’t even true crabs. They are imposters that have evolved separately, over and over again. I am a…
Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey, the great cultural battles of our time, and the real problems with the film
Perhaps, low expectations will leave me pleasantly surprised while high expectations will have the inverse effect for others, or perhaps we all simply have far too much time on our hands to bicker about a movie as though it were deeply important to our lives. Rarely, does a film generate controversy three months before its…
The midterms still favor the Democrats, but not by much and much remains impossible to predict
Democrats are offering Republicans an opportunity that they probably don’t deserve at this point, but as we all know, deserve has nothing to do with it. While there are clear historical trends favoring Democrats in the midterms and it’s no secret that President Donald Trump has chosen to launch a largely unpopular war that has…
