The people have spoken and they have shouted: We will not be told what to do, what to think, what to believe, how to act, how to live, and how to vote in record numbers. At the risk of sounding like Michelle Obama, I have never been more proud of my country than last Tuesday… Continue reading Why Trump’s massive victory gives me hope for the future and renewed pride in the American experiment

The crazy contradictions of a Trump victory
Back in 2017, the establishment was able to convince themselves President Trump was a one-of-a-kind defect in American politics that they could correct somehow, but that illusion will be shattered should he win again. If former President Donald Trump prevails next week, his victory will result in a political contradiction of the highest possible order. … Continue reading The crazy contradictions of a Trump victory
Bruce Springsteen, Duran Duran, and the wisemen are all fools
Most people likely wouldn’t connect these two bands for obvious reasons, but on two songs, eight years apart, we get the sense the world is rapidly falling apart because those who are supposed to be the wise ones are revealed to be only fools. In 2007, Bruce Springsteen released his fifteenth studio album, Magic, which… Continue reading Bruce Springsteen, Duran Duran, and the wisemen are all fools
Trump and the truth about NATO that the establishment refuses to admit

It is a sign of our times that a green haired, eye-shadowed non-binary person wearing a dress with hairy legs sums up the position of establishment scientists for the BBC more succinctly than many of them ever would or could. The establishment, as ever, is likely wrong... We are prisoners of our minds and the… Continue reading Time, consciousness, and the constancy of the two
For better or worse, Succession is the ideal show for our times
The same as Logan’s children seek to inherit his creation without having done the hard work of building it, hard work which included shady deals, sacrificing morals when convenient, cutting corners when necessary, and screwing over competitors, we inherit a world built by giants from Thomas Edison to Teddy Roosevelt and have no idea what… Continue reading For better or worse, Succession is the ideal show for our times
The workers of the world are uniting against the establishment
Call it the return to normalcy that wasn’t. President Joe Biden and his fellow establishment leaders are crumbling in the polls and in actual elections as shocking numbers believe the future is bleak. Perhaps this is because normal doesn’t exist anymore in a world where governments are at war with their own citizens, and parents… Continue reading The workers of the world are uniting against the establishment
