The world’s only one man media empire
President Teddy Roosevelt once said, “speak softly and carry a big stick.” This is the exact opposite: We have no stick at all, and yet we’re carrying on as if we had a baseball bat. So long as Europe is dependent on Russian energy, Russia will do what it wants in Eastern Europe. We should… Continue reading Ukraine: Why are we hyping up an invasion we can do nothing about?
Some of the same government officials in the United States and Canada who shut down businesses and closed borders for years by executive edict, putting tens of thousands out of work, are decrying the negative impact of a peoples’ blockade of the Ambassador Bridge and even threatening their children. Last week, the Freedom Convoy 2022… Continue reading Canadian Truckers: This is the people’s lockdown and the elites can’t stand it
Some progressives are openly claiming all power resides with federal agencies, and your power is limited to voicing your opinion. They say they care deeply about democratic norms and assaults on democracy, while they assault every norm there is and redefine democracy at a whim, outright proposing technocratic authoritarianism and calling it democracy. Recent Supreme… Continue reading No, unaccountable government agencies aren’t “democracy in action”
The progressive firebrand defines capitalism in a way no one actually believes in the 21st century, if ever. Next, she confuses government power with corporate power, and finally she calls for “alternative ways of doing businesses” which have already been a part of capitalism for generations before demanding even more government control. “I believe that… Continue reading AOC is deeply confused about capitalism, socialism, and just about everything else
Jon Stewart and Bill Maher defend free speech for fellow celebrities, but I can’t help wondering if they are speaking up more in sympathy than in support of free speech as a universal principle when few if any are concerned about the truckers in Canada protesting cross-border vaccine mandates under the name Freedom Convoy 2022.… Continue reading Joe Rogan, Whoopi Goldberg, the Canadian Truckers, and free speech
Bill Maher is the latest liberal to start taking aim at the left instead of the right. Normally, this might be nothing more than an interesting squabble between two factions of the left and the far left, but the principles underlying the battleground are far too essential and the stakes far too high to simply… Continue reading Progressives versus liberals, the battle begins, and the fate of America might hang in the balance
Justice Stephen Breyer’s announcement wasn’t even official, but the battle was already engaged with some claiming a secret plot was afoot to install either Mitt Romney or Hillary Clinton as Vice President. Others took issue with the race of the potential nominee and Vice President Harris. Still others took aim at the rule of law… Continue reading A Supreme Court confirmation battle begins with a combination of the absurd, the crude, and the insane
Last year, I proposed the Trump Test, that is imagine your reaction if Trump was the President instead of Biden, and Trump was the one insulting reporters, tacitly granting permission for Russia to invade Ukraine, and claiming he was “outperforming” expectations in the midst of constant crises. The media had a term for this. They… Continue reading President Biden is unhinged, or at least that’s what the media would be saying were he President Trump
In a rational world, a 55% spike in homicides would prompt an equivalent increase in arrests, but instead arrests have fallen over the same period, putting more criminals on the street. Meanwhile, progressives insist that guns are actually to to blame and they have the non-causative data to prove it. As New York City reels… Continue reading Progressives have discovered the root cause of violent crime and it isn’t actually criminals
Someone really needs to explain why we are obsessed with testing sick people, healthy people, vaccinated people, unvaccinated people, travelers, workers, and more, even if they have little to no risk for serious disease, the results come in after a person is recovered, and the tests can’t tell us whether a person is spreading the… Continue reading Coronavirus testing: Insane in principle, a fiasco in practice
