The world’s only one man media empire
While healthcare philanthropy is recognized as a worthy cause, the grand scope Rockefeller applied to every challenge from curing hookworm around the world to cerebrospinal meningitis remains elusive, as well as the sheer willpower required to achieve such scale. Mr. Musk has both, and he should set his mind to doing something purely to help… Continue reading Elon Musk’s next mission should be a Rockefeller sized bet on incurable diseases
The means to purchase a $350,00 vehicle are far in the future for me at least, but that’s not the point. The point is: When someone offers you the chance to drive one, you take it, but you’ll never get the chance if you aren’t in the game in the first place. As many of… Continue reading Driving an 800 horsepower Lamborghini in Manhattan and the importance of being there to live out your dreams
The recent controversy over a Democrat questioning transgender athletes in women’s sports illustrates one of the most interesting and most interestingly annoying aspects of Trump Era: The sight of supposedly intelligent people whose mind has been reduced to one output for every possible input whenever he is involved. After last week’s brutal election loss, Democrat… Continue reading Donald Trump, a transgender controversy, and the mad derangement of the age
The people have spoken and they have shouted: We will not be told what to do, what to think, what to believe, how to act, how to live, and how to vote in record numbers. At the risk of sounding like Michelle Obama, I have never been more proud of my country than last Tuesday… Continue reading Why Trump’s massive victory gives me hope for the future and renewed pride in the American experiment
After the counting is done and the music stops, you still have only one life to live, one country to live in, and one world to share with both those who agree and those who disagree. You need to find a way to continue onward, hopefully upward. I believe I’ve passed the ageOf consciousness and… Continue reading Today is a good day to remember your Billy Joel, for life goes on no matter who was wrong or right
Inherent in the outrage is the idea that media outlets exist to advance their progressive view of the world, prioritizing their beliefs and preferences above all others. Progressives have whipped themselves into a frenzy over The Washington Post’s decision not to endorse a candidate for president this year or, assuming they stick to it, any… Continue reading The Washington Post’s endorsement “scandal” says a lot more about progressives than anything else
The intersection between art and technology isn’t confined to the music industry, but strangely, the idea that modern artists are merely inferior copies of past greats isn’t generally applied outside of it. Bob Dylan is sometimes credited with taking the electric guitar mainstream when he “plugged in” at the Newport Folk Festival in 1965. By… Continue reading Greta Van Fleet, Led Zeppelin, Woodstock, and a fair evaluation of modern music
Are we masochists when it would be much, much easier not to have one in the first place, both in terms of mourning their loss and the truth that this animal depends on you for everything? Or does it represent something far more wonderful and special in human nature, that we voluntarily bring another creature… Continue reading Lessons on the passing of an aged coonhound
“It kind of has this origin in anti-immigrant sentiments, right, all the way to January 6th, when we think about that white exceptionalism, and this notion of a kind of white ownership of Shakespeare,” claimed a supposed professor of English at Arizona State University, in a truly bizarre syllogism. The average person doesn’t equate… Continue reading Shakespeare, January 6th, and the continued madness of the academic world
Rockefeller himself was an unlikely business tycoon, born into a relatively poor family in upstate New York on July 8, 1839. His mother was the daughter of a local minister. His father was effectively a con artist, who had multiple identities and sold fake cures for cancer and other maladies. Still, he changed the world… Continue reading Modern capitalism, John D. Rockefeller, and the lies of the 1619 Project revisited
