The world’s only one man media empire
The battle over Critical Race Theory is frequently depicted as a fight over “honest history,” but history isn’t the point. The fight is really over the future, as progressives seek to redefine the history of America to one of endless, intentional oppression and racism. The goal is to make the country irredeemable and undermine our… Continue reading Critical Race Theory: Yes, the FBI is targeting parents and progressives continue to lie about it, even as they promise to get more aggressive
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
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
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
If there are 50 odd genders, some of which are fluid or binary, the concept of gender itself has lost all meaning and ceases to be of any value. In England, lesbian women are being pressured into sex with biological men. In Canada and the United States, a legendary feminist is attacked for merely noting… Continue reading Gender, a modest proposal: Let’s give up on the concept entirely and start classifying people by their appendages or lack thereof
It’s past time to admit the stewards of these legendary works don’t really like the source material all that much, so they insist on tearing it down in the name of diversity until it becomes unrecognizable. Sadly, it’s the same impulse driving the progressive left and Critical Race Theory. This week D.C. Comics announced that… Continue reading Superman is gay, or at least bisexual, James Bond should be a woman, minority, or gay, and Tolkien needs a woke makeover
The late, great heavy metal god recorded 20 albums, multiple side projects, and played hundreds of shows. From “Heaven and Hell” to “Holy Diver,” Dio wrote hard rock classics for four different bands, and yet he’s not even in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and his supreme talent remains rarely acknowledged outside of… Continue reading Ronnie James Dio is the most underrated singer-songwriter of all time
The more things change, the more they stay the same: 36 years ago, Tipper Gore’s Parents Music Resource Council and politicians were taking aim at the music industry, using moral outrage to justify censorship in the name of the children. At the time, the record industry was also pushing for new taxes, resulting in an… Continue reading Facebook: A whistleblower demands new regulations for social media to protect the children from harmful content
Twin Peaks continues to influence almost everything on television more than 30 years later, from the technical to the creative, from Riverdale to Billions. How did a relatively obscure director, known for making almost incomprehensible films, come to dominate popular culture so thoroughly without the average person even knowing his name? In the Golden Era… Continue reading David Lynch: Peak TV should be paying the surrealist director royalties
How an unassuming, but supremely talented rock star parlayed pop-music stardom in the mid-90’s into a touring empire that continues to turn out tens of thousands of fans year after year, city after city. Dave has operated beneath the radar for almost 20 years now, but don’t tell his fans that... Last weekend, my wife… Continue reading Dave Matthews is his own music genre and entertainment empire, and he’s completely earned it
