The world’s only one man media empire
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
It’s certainly not because we’re brainwashed. It’s because we like what we see after decades of establishment failure and outright lies about immigration, economics, international relations, and American life. It’s yet another common refrain in media circles: President Trump’s supporters are brainwashed in some fashion, beholden only to what he tells them, and unable to… Continue reading Trump and the truth about his supporters
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
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?
Today’s establishment minded Republicans are fond of placing what they perceive to be important principles over common sense, transforming their positions into a classic suicide pact. History provides a better guide to a be a successful GOP President. There’s no doubt the second Republican debate was a disorganized mess, marred by poor moderation, worse questions,… Continue reading TikTok, Republicans, and their inability to understand the nature of political power
Poets may claim that love conquers all, but back in the real world there are forces beyond your control that can easily tear a relationship apart. Many people fear the future, fueled by jealousy and doubt, but sometimes things simply work out if you’re only hopeful enough to see it. My wife and I didn’t… Continue reading Livin’ in the Future: The first Springsteen song for me and my wife
The human race is not on the verge of extinction every time Open AI, Microsoft, or Google launch a new chatbot. AI is not going to cause everyone to die anytime soon, as a recent article in Time Magazine insists, and we should certainly not prioritize firing nuclear weapons to shut down AI research. This… Continue reading Artificial Intelligence alarmists need to grow up and get a grip
The Iraq War was by any definition a failure at all its stated goals, costing far more in blood, treasure, and time than expected, empowering our enemies, and failing to build a stable democracy and long term ally in a worn torn region, but there are some who still insist we should do it all… Continue reading Iraq: Anyone who doesn’t regret supporting the war is delusional, stupid, or lying
The names of the politicians in Washington change, but the debt and the debt ceiling keep on increasing at an almost exponential rate, over a monstrous $30 trillion. Some, however, continue to insist that raising the debt ceiling is just a routine vote that should be accomplished without question, while others claim the idea of… Continue reading Debt ceiling: Get ready five months of nonsensical bloviating over our insane finances
As the polarizing former President announces his third consecutive bid for the White House, it’s worth considering the difference between political theory and practice. In theory, we shouldn’t be talking about Trump at all. In practice, he continues to dominate the political stage like no other. Donald Trump is the political difference between theory and… Continue reading Trump take three and why millions still support him
