The world’s only one man media empire
Last week, the reasonable outcome was for the Supreme Court to reject the case entirely. This week it’s to reject even the narrow question the Court proposed ignoring the obvious importance to the future of the country. Is it any wonder few pay any attention to the experts any longer? Last Thursday, the Supreme Court… Continue reading Fairly and unfairly evaluating Trump’s immunity claims
Mr. Petty, who sadly passed away in 2017, is not widely known for writing songs that comment on social issues, much less near-dystopian fiction like “The Last DJ,” generally preferring brilliant, catchy cop confections like “Free Fallin’” and “Running Down a Dream.” Released in 2002, what we might call the early days of digital media… Continue reading Tom Petty’s last hit, “The Last DJ” is more prescient than ever and other thoughts on a remarkable career
The President bizarrely declared that “freedom” is on the ballot after his own party robbed hundreds of millions of Americans of their freedom less than four years ago, among other unprecedented assaults on our democracy. Last week, President Joe Biden opened the general election campaign by donning the mantle of George Washington, positioning himself and… Continue reading President Biden and the Democrats wouldn’t know democracy if it bit them in the ass
2024 will be defined by a confluence of events most of which remain completely unpredictable, far more so than most years in modern memory. Call it the quantum mechanics or Schrödinger’s cat of years, where we will not know what happens until the waveforms collapse into history. 2020 was considered an extraordinary dumpster fire of… Continue reading 2024 might make 2020 seem like an ordinary year
The President mandated vaccines based on false statements, faulty science, outright lies, and flawed legal reasoning only to be rejected by the Supreme Court after untold people lost their jobs, American rights were trampled, and the country thrown into chaos. These days, this should be an indictable offense. On November 4, 2021, President Joe Biden… Continue reading Biden’s vaccine mandate “conspiracy” to defraud the government and the American people
The former President remains the top choice of Republican voters, especially among voters of color, despite threats of indictments and something of an establishment conservative rally around Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, complete with a rewriting of coronavirus history. The race will come down to these two men and where it ends nobody knows… After Republicans… Continue reading The State of Trump and the Republican Race
From January 6th to the pandemic with Senator John Fetterman in between, the narratives promoted by the government, political, and media establishments are devolving into lies and falsehoods. Anyone who claims to care about democracy should care about this… Earlier this week, Fox News’ Tucker Carlson began releasing video footage from inside the Capitol Building… Continue reading Lies, lies, and more lies are not the foundation for a functioning democracy
Thousands of dead fish wash up on the shoreline, and residents complain of sore throats, eyes, and respiratory issues in the wake of a train derailment and the controlled burn of toxic chemicals, but authorities insist everything is safe and they have nothing to worry about. Comparisons to the pandemic are unavoidable. New Palestine, Ohio… Continue reading Science for me, but not for thee, the Ohio train derailment and coronavirus revisited
European countries used to be a beacon for progressives eager to expand social programs and promote “democratic socialism,” but the comparison has fallen out of favor during the pandemic because it’s no longer politically useful. Europe has taken a more reasonable approach to vaccines, including analyzing their real risks, and abortion than American progressives will… Continue reading Coronavirus and abortion: Why can’t we be more like Europe?
The New York Post recently proclaimed him “DeFuture.” The Florida governor has a lot to recommend himself for the Republican nomination. A resounding re-election, a strong resume, a coronavirus response rooted in freedom, and a willingness to fight for conservative causes. At least, that’s the theory. The practice, as ever, is a lot more complicated… Continue reading Ron DeSantis: Is the Florida governor the Republicans’ only hope?
