Confessions of a Conservative Atheist
The world’s only one man media empire
There are far too many among us who demand the guilty go free, and those who haven’t yet been charged with any crime be punished, as a result of what might or might not have happened to others of the same class. We used to believe that justice was blind. The many depictions of Lady… Continue reading Justice is no longer blind, it’s downright insane
Whether you support the Iran war or are a proponent of AI, once upon a time these would be considered politically courageous positions and pundits would have declared this is what leadership looks like. In 2001, President Gerald Ford provided one of the best definitions of political courage in recent memory. While accepting the John… Continue reading If this were any other President, the media would be running nonstop profiles of political courage and leadership
Do you want secure borders, less crime, less government, more manufacturing, more energy, more money in your pocket, and more economic growth over all to continue even if gas prices are higher than you would like, or do you want to go back to the malaise that prevailed before he retook office? Contrary to the… Continue reading It’s time for Republicans to get off their ass and make the freaking case for the midterms
The saga of Nikole Hannah-Jones and her husband sacrificing their own daughter’s education for the common good would be a sad parody taken in isolation, but unfortunately for us all, this is the progressive ideology writ large. Last week, journalist Nikole Hannah-Jones, the primary creator of the controversial and completely inaccurate 1619 Project, shocked the… Continue reading Progressives are willing to sacrifice their own kids for the cause
An unknown researcher, a viral post, and demands for regulations won’t stop the race for Artificial Intelligence anymore than nuclear non-proliferation treaties prevented the spread of the atom bomb. Last week, a social media post from a purported AI researcher who recently resigned from Anthropic went viral under suspicious circumstances when he predicted the end… Continue reading No, you can’t stop the future of AI or anything else, however hard you try
It seems we have a choice: We can either let the most successful politician of the last hundred years or more do his thing or we can listen to those who have produced nothing except hot air their entire lives. Last week, President Donald Trump prompted something of a complete and total meltdown among so… Continue reading The President’s $5,000 proposal, his success in four charts, and how so-called conservative influencers are getting worse than Democrats these days
In the minute or so it took to turn off the car and walk less than fifty yards to my cubicle, the second plane hit the other tower and I sat down at my desk in a completely different world. Of course, the real question was what that world would look like. When the first… Continue reading Twenty five years after 9-11, we will wake up to a different world however intentional its creation
Almost 125 years ago, critics of President Teddy Roosevelt described another world-changing deal in Latin America as an un-American imperialist adventure despite having no solution of their own beyond the fantasy that countries will magically become modern democracies thanks to the power of words alone. In 1903, President Teddy Roosevelt secured a deal with the… Continue reading The Venezuelan oil deal, the Panama Canal, and our American values
They used to say country over party. Perhaps, we should put the future over politics, and rather than behaving like craven fools politicians should lead. If you’ve been looking for an issue that finally unites Republicans and Democrats, liberals and conservatives alike, opposition to so-called AI datacenters might be it. As the Associated Press characterized… Continue reading The datacenter delusion
After both of our previous attempts failed largely because Iran has proven completely unable to stop firing missiles for no seemingly sane reason, it appears to be a good time to reconsider our options.
