The media would rather shoot the messenger, however inartful or incendiary, than acknowledge the troubling reality that race relations in the United States have gotten far worse since Critical Race Theory, intersectionality, and the woke mentality went mainstream ten years ago. Last week the creator of Dilbert, a popular comic strip skewering life in the… Continue reading Dilbert is done, but let’s not pretend Scott Adams wasn’t reacting to a disturbing development
The data couldn’t be more stark. Over the past ten years, teenagers are more depressed, more prone to thoughts of suicide, and more likely to attempt ending their own life.

ChatGPT is an amazing piece of software and one of the most talked about technological… Continue reading ChatGPT and political bias in big tech by design or otherwise
The daredevil actor’s new stunt features him riding a motorcycle over a ramp mounted at the top of a cliff, then dumping the bike and parachuting to safety down below. He said he’s always wanted to do it since he was a little kid, because who hasn’t and who couldn’t use living out a crazy… Continue reading Tom Cruise and the “I always wanted to do it when I was a little kid” philosophy
The killing of Tyre Nichols at the hands of five black police officers is proof enough for progressives that white supremacy is now colorblind, afflicting black as well as white. Policing in its entirety is now a racist endeavor, apparently due to a mind virus of some kind. Earlier this year, progressives expanded the definition… Continue reading Black white supremacy goes mainstream in less than a month
