The world’s only one man media empire
Chickens? Pigs? Cows? They get slaughtered all year for any old meal, but not me. I’m special and I serve a higher purpose, so forget the various controversies surrounding the holiday over the centuries and belly up to the table. I am a Thanksgiving turkey. You might find me roasted, smoked, or fried at the… Continue reading I am a Thanksgiving turkey and I live to die for your holiday meal
No one in American history, perhaps even the history of the world, has ever confronted this level of opposition, both from his self-proclaimed detractors and the broader establishment, and not changed their attitude, style, or approach in the slightest. Passionately adored by his supporters and just as passionately hated by his detractors, the only thing… Continue reading Win or lose, Trump did it his way and that was enough to be the defining political figure of our age
Last week, Tucker Carlson interviewed a historian who claimed the legendary Prime Minister was the chief villain in World War II, more responsible for the war than Hitler. Previously, progressives condemned him as a racist retrograde, nor is Churchill alone. The incessant need to continually re-evaluate the past infects both the left and increasingly the… Continue reading Winston Churchill and our modern fetish with ankle-biting
Roosevelt has little in common with Trump on the surface, save for being born wealthy in New York City and having significant careers outside of politics, but both men inspired over the top passion and both spent a lot of time in court after their Presidencies. On New Year’s Day 2016, I joined my wife… Continue reading Donald Trump, Teddy Roosevelt, a President on trial, and the American obsession with sick bastards
Academics would have us believe that Joe Biden – who was recently deemed mentally incompetent by his own Justice Department – has made a better president than the likes of Ronald Reagan, Ulysses S. Grant, and James Monroe, not to mention Andrew freaking Jackson? Late last year, the “2024 Presidential Greatness Project Expert Survey” was… Continue reading Ranking presidential “greatness” and the intellectual bankruptcy of the academic establishment
An otherwise fine movie suffers from an almost schizophrenia in attempt to devour itself, as if the goal was to put the breakdown of the atom that powers nuclear fission on screen rather than the even more incredible narratives that surrounded it. Oppenheimer, which recently won best drama, best director, best drama, and best original… Continue reading Oppenheimer, Christopher Nolan, the kitchen sink, and reality being more amazing than fiction
While the President accuses Israel of what would have been considered a war crime in World War II, completely and totally botching the historical reality of US policy in the process, he and others who insist Israel is killing too many civilian refuse to provide any number of acceptable casualties of their own. Immediately after… Continue reading Honest questions: How many Palestinian dead is an acceptable figure and what exactly did President Biden mean by standing “shoulder to shoulder” with Israel?
According to conventional wisdom in much of the media and other Democrat-heavy groups, President Trump shouldn’t even be allowed to run again, and yet the makings of one of the most – if not the most – triumphant political comeback of all time are in place. To date, Grover Cleveland is the only President in… Continue reading Is Trump mounting the most triumphant political comeback of all time, or at least since 1892?
Clarity of purpose in war is essential. The enemy must understand and believe you will do whatever it takes to achieve your objective. How is a war supposed to end when your enemy doesn’t even know what you want in the first place? Last week, President Joe Biden said what most needed saying about the… Continue reading Biden cannot continue to be at war with himself over Israel and Hamas, or Russia and Ukraine
The President touted an economic record at the State of the Union address that largely consists of subsidies and contracts paid directly to many of the same large companies he frequently rails against. These companies will make huge profits and pay executives big money, making it a new incarnation of the much maligned “trickle down”… Continue reading Biden’s Trickle Down 2.0
