Donald Trump is crazy like a fox or otherwise

The former President creates a media frenzy over the release of digital trading cards, earning scorn from both progressives and his reputed allies, except no one can really say why any of this deserves such media attention.  This is especially true when President Trump simultaneously released a new free speech platform which the same people… Continue reading Donald Trump is crazy like a fox or otherwise

The Twitter Files: So-called journalists ignore the obvious threat to their own industry and the First Amendment

The recent anti-Musk rants studiously avoid the blatant censorship of The New York Post under false pretenses in the middle of an election, which should be the centerpiece of any reasoned concerns about free speech and the free exchange of ideas.  Instead, propagandists vent their outrage at the messenger. The New York Post is the… Continue reading The Twitter Files: So-called journalists ignore the obvious threat to their own industry and the First Amendment

Progressives have officially killed science for their own political purposes

Scientists now champion censorship and cancel culture, scientific publications are reduced to political polemics with no scientific value while claiming their unique expertise is relevant anywhere they see fit.  Science died in 2020.  Now, they want to bury it so deep it might  never be found again. Future historians will likely look back on the… Continue reading Progressives have officially killed science for their own political purposes

The NYC subway shooter, the media, and the strange failure of content moderation

The NYC subway shooter’s social media profile revealed hundreds of anti-racist and other disturbing rants, where he argued the races should be separated and asked “black Jesus” to kill all white people.  The media, however, thinks he’s anti-black, and no one has even bothered to ask how these inflammatory, racist posts made it past the… Continue reading The NYC subway shooter, the media, and the strange failure of content moderation

It’s long past time to resign the great Greek philosopher’s vision of government to the ash heap of history, and yet the establishment continues to cling to something eerily close to his vision of a guardian class empowered with the noble lie.  Literally everything has changed since Plato’s day, but some things remain the same…… Continue reading Plato’s Republic and the persistence of the noble lie

Facebook: A whistleblower demands new regulations for social media to protect the children from harmful content

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

Free speech for them, but none for you, the media mob privileges its own insanities over open dialogue

From Fox News to Substack, modern day “journalists” seek out dissenting voices, spy on private conversations, out unacceptable speech, often incorrectly, and call for constant policing of everyone’s speech, but don’t dare call them out on it. New York Times reporter, Taylor Lorenz, is very upset with Tucker Carlson and Fox News.  Their crime?  Questioning… Continue reading Free speech for them, but none for you, the media mob privileges its own insanities over open dialogue

The War on Terror, Redux: Now with more domestic spying and improved censorship

US citizens are now al-Qaida or Lost Causers after the Civil War.  A former President is bin Laden or perhaps Confederate President, Jefferson Davis, maybe the founder of the KKK.  His supporters are all suspects, where they gather and communicate needs to be infiltrated, and this is just the beginning. They say all that’s old… Continue reading The War on Terror, Redux: Now with more domestic spying and improved censorship
