Shakespeare, January 6th, and the continued madness of the academic world

“It kind of has this origin in anti-immigrant sentiments, right, all the way to January 6th, when we think about that white exceptionalism, and this notion of a kind of white ownership of Shakespeare,” claimed a supposed professor of English at Arizona State University, in a truly bizarre syllogism.   The average person doesn’t equate… Continue reading Shakespeare, January 6th, and the continued madness of the academic world

Donald Trump and the law of diminishing returns

As pundits ponder the resiliency of a former President they despise, they’d do well to consider that people become dulled to controversies, real and imagined,  and the accompanying rhetoric, causing both to lose their potency.  There are few politicians, especially in recent memory, who have been denigrated as aggressively and hyperbolically as President Trump.  Lately,… Continue reading Donald Trump and the law of diminishing returns

Trump: Dead or alive, you’re coming with me, so says the establishment

Conceivably, we might have given them the benefit of the doubt the first time around, applying the old adage about fooling me once and fooling me twice, but the second? After the second assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump in as many months, it’s become all-too clear that the establishment, which includes the Secret… Continue reading Trump: Dead or alive, you’re coming with me, so says the establishment

From cat ladies to eating cats, a presidential election like no other in microcosm

While the raging debates over cats – first childless cat ladies and now whether or not Haitian migrants are actually eating felines in Springfield, OH - might seem small on the surface, the ferocity reveals much more fundamental issues underneath. Six months ago, if you were to suggest that the presidential election would be dominated… Continue reading From cat ladies to eating cats, a presidential election like no other in microcosm

A debate in the eye of the beholder

Fortunately for former President Donald Trump and his supporters, Presidential Debates are not won on points, indeed they aren’t really won or lost at all given the only score that matters is the final tally on election day itself. If Presidential Debates were scored by collegiate rules, Vice President Harris won Tuesday’s contest against Donald… Continue reading A debate in the eye of the beholder

Russia, Russia, Russia returns, but why not Iran, Iran, Iran?  After all, they only tried to assassinate one of the candidates…

A comparison between Iran’s failed assassination plot and successful hacking of the Trump campaign to Wednesday’s announcement that Russia is also seeking to influence the election couldn’t make their political priorities more clear, either for the Biden Administration or the mainstream media.  On July 16, the media reported that Iran was undertaking an active effort… Continue reading Russia, Russia, Russia returns, but why not Iran, Iran, Iran?  After all, they only tried to assassinate one of the candidates…

Code-switching is all the rage, but what’s with the progressive need for new words to describe old things?  

When Secretary of State Hillary Clinton used a fake Southern accent in 2015, we called it pandering, even those who tried to rationalize the behavior and give her the benefit of the doubt, but today Vice President Harris’ obviously fake accent is an intrinsic part of her mixed race heritage and dare not be questioned… Continue reading Code-switching is all the rage, but what’s with the progressive need for new words to describe old things?  

Everyone knows Vice President Kamala Harris is awful, just like President Joe Biden before her

The silly season ended yesterday, but the only way she can win is to hope it continues through the election. Those hailing her meteoric ascension should do well to remember that meteors don’t rise. They fall to Earth, either disappearing in a flash in the atmosphere or causing havoc down below. Perhaps the most stunning… Continue reading Everyone knows Vice President Kamala Harris is awful, just like President Joe Biden before her

This new “politics of joy” is extremely weird

Why would any rational human being planning a political campaign believe people outside the Democrat bubble are feeling anything resembling joy?  This is joy as some kind of mass delusion or projection, a mind virus rather than a serious political movement.  Previously, I have opined that describing political matters as joyous or infused with joy… Continue reading This new “politics of joy” is extremely weird

The DNC’s prevailing narrative is so far from the truth it might as well be a broadcast from another dimension

Under anything resembling normal circumstances, the spectacle of a massive protest by members of the Democrat Party outside the Democrat National Convention would garner at least a few words, but the need to buttress the largely false narrative of joy and unity overwhelms honesty and integrity. To hear the mainstream media tell it, the Democrat… Continue reading The DNC’s prevailing narrative is so far from the truth it might as well be a broadcast from another dimension
