Confessions of a Conservative Atheist
The world’s only one man media empire
Whatever the lack of logical consistency, the range and some might even say originality of a franchise that essentially revolves around horny, pot smoking, beer drinking teams being stalked and killed can only be described as astounding. In early 1979, Sean S. Cunningham, inspired by the success of John Carpenter’s Halloween a year earlier, placed… Continue reading From Friday the 13th to Crystal Lake, the seemingly endless longevity of the horror franchise
While the reaction to the raid on Representative Ilhan Omar’s home is not surprising, what combination of short memories, a belief their audiences have even shorter ones, and self righteousness powers the phenomenon, where something is good when it happens to someone they don’t like, but bad, very bad otherwise? On August 10, 2022, a… Continue reading Government raids: No one likes when the shoe is on the other foot
The sight, however symbolic, of the Arab Nations joining traditional European, North American, and Asian allies along with their long term adversary Israel in a joint mission would be something no one has ever seen before, perhaps as important as Teddy Roosevelt’s Great White Fleet was way back in 1907. Last week, the media was… Continue reading The Trump Armada
We should condemn those who would make sport of anyone’s suffering for any reason, but in a world where everything is political, there is nothing wrong with stating your opinion on what led to the destruction and what could have done better once it was unleashed. The fires in Los Angeles have prompted a range… Continue reading The LA fires and the reality that not all politics is bad, though not all arguments are equal
Everyone knows Vice President Harris is awful. It’s why talk about whether President Biden should withdraw from the race included an aside about what to do with her. Is it possible she could be passed over somehow? Instead, she had to be completely remade, downright deified, the same way Biden was before her. As I… Continue reading The batshit crazy coronation of Kamala Harris is history repeating itself as farce
The new Republican Party seeks to shift the balance of our interests shifts from abstract American ideals to the practical impact on every day Americans, America as a country like any other, with her own interests, rather than as some easily manipulated metaphor for democracy or human progress. The same way we can rarely tell… Continue reading JD Vance and the Republicans’ ideological revolution
Saturday’s heinous events will not prompt his detractors to reconsider, but to the average American, it seems sure to be a defining moment, one that allows President Trump to transcend the political box Democrats, some Republicans, and the mainstream media have tried to imprison him in for nine years. On October 14, 1912, former President… Continue reading Trump, Teddy Roosevelt, and the nature of an unstoppable force
There is little more fundamental a right than the ability of voters to listen to completely unfettered Presidential candidates before making their own personal choice. In a sense, Judge Chutkan has abridged the rights of every American to decide – for themselves and in and of themselves – who to vote for and why. “Mr.… Continue reading Free speech dies in federal court when an out of control judge takes aim at former President Trump and every American citizen
For years now, they have collectively ignored the continued stumbles of the most powerful man in the world, only to pounce on a Republican after two similar instances. Let me start by being clear: Personally, I think Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell is long past his sell-by date at a ripe 81 years old and… Continue reading Mitch McConnell and the media’s utter shamelessness
Once upon a time, the language of climate science – emissions, greenhouse gasses, melting ice caps, carbon taxes, cap and trade, and more – was all politically neutral, if occasionally sensational, but suddenly it’s downright socialist, dominated by the progressive cliches of the day from climate equity to climate justice. I’ll admit it up front: … Continue reading We are running out of time to save the planet, but climate scientists have somehow found the time to go woke
