The world’s only one man media empire
The universal condemnation of Attorney General Pam Bondi’s comments and demands for a new free speech absolutism were the rare positive developments in a horrible, baffling week, but I can’t help thinking much of it is situational and the battle will continue. Earlier this week, Attorney General Pam Bondi managed to do the impossible when… Continue reading One person’s hate speech is another’s truth
“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
The real world of international relations is not a movie, but some key lessons and insights are the same. You can be at war without wanting to be at war and you cannot win a war without knowing who your true enemy is, forget telling them in advance what you will and will not do. “Tattaglia’s… Continue reading Joe Biden is no Marlon Brando, lessons from the Godfather on his failing foreign policy
The former Governor and now Presidential candidate moved swiftly from refusing to clearly state that slavery was the primary cause of the Civil War to inexplicably claiming America was “never” a racist country.

The narrative is clear, but the truth couldn’t be more… Continue reading Time Magazine: Maybe we should have another Civil War after all?
The President delivered a primetime speech about the “continued battle for the soul of the nation,” but who is he to declare close to half the country his enemies? What moral quality and compass does this man have to define democracy itself, proclaim himself everyone else’s better, and demand we conform to his view of… Continue reading Biden fancies himself John Quincy Adams, thinks he can save America
If President Biden and Attorney General Garland believe a conviction of Trump for any potential crime would prevent him from running again, clearing the field of the most likely candidate, they cannot be trusted to remain objective. Republicans can shut down the Senate until they provide satisfactory answers. In the wake of the FBI raid… Continue reading FBI raid: Biden’s conflict of interest is unresolvable and Republicans need to do more than demand answers
