The world’s only one man media empire
President Biden approves the shipment of M1 Abrams tanks to Ukraine over the objections of his top military advisers and fighter jets are apparently back under consideration. The media meanwhile has decided that there is no risk of Russian retaliation because these escalations do not meet the experts technical definition of war. After all, who… Continue reading Tanks and missiles and possibly planes, oh my!
Governments around the world are getting ready to regulate Artificial Intelligence to protect the consumer and the human race, but what is actually in the plans proposed to date the European Union and will any of it actually work? Isaac Asimov’s Three Laws of Robotics this is not. As ChatGPT is rapidly becoming the most… Continue reading Artificial Intelligence: Government regulation will be a disaster for the next big technological leap
New York City had a drinking problem in 1895, or rather a legal problem concerning drinking because the sale of alcohol was prohibited on Sunday throughout the state. As President of the Police Board of Commissioners, Teddy Roosevelt chose to take on machine politics and the entire city by rigidly enforcing the prohibition as a… Continue reading Teddy Roosevelt, beer, and equality under the law
As we learn former Vice President Mike Pence also had classified documents and the National Archives begs former officials to come forward with any other documents that may be missing, it’s become clear that classified materials are everywhere and the government has no control even as everyone acted like they did when former President Trump… Continue reading Classified information here, there, and everywhere

Some, however, continue to insist that raising the debt ceiling is just a routine vote that should be accomplished without question, while others claim the idea of… Continue reading Debt ceiling: Get ready five months of nonsensical bloviating over our insane finances

The federal government might or might not be targeting extremely popular natural gas stove tops, but the state of New York most certainly is along with other gas appliances based on suspect concerns about health risks and global warming. An all-electric future is a crusade for some, who are more than willing to force you… Continue reading Gas stoves and the ever grasping hands of government
The discovery of multiple sets of classified documents at President Biden’s old offices reveals how ridiculous the accusations were against President Trump last year and how unnecessary the unprecedented FBI raid on his Mar-a-Lago residence, but rather than enjoy the show even some so-called conservatives can’t resist taking unnecessary shots at the former President. Politics… Continue reading Biden: The classified document is now on the other foot
There is no doubt that the size and scope of government has changed since the Founding, but a more expansive government requires even more transparency, oversight, and accountability in order to function properly. A return to regular order is just the beginning of reforms to ensure the elusive good governance. Last week, much ink was… Continue reading Defining good governance in the modern era beyond spending money
From “the black face of white supremacy” to “white supremacy comes in all colors,” progressives keep changing yet another definition purely for political purposes, abandoning principle for saying whatever they feel will advance their radical policy goals. We ended 2022 with the mainstream media deciding without evidence that exercise and obesity have their origins in… Continue reading White supremacy is no longer white in 2023
