Disgusting: The media is happy to undermine US foreign policy if they believe it hurts Trump

Rather than ask a substantiative question about the future of the Middle East and the world, the media preferred to focus on an eight year old murder and invoke 9-11 to embarrass the President and the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia in person.

The media is only getting what’s coming after losing a nine year war against the most powerful man in the known universe

They did whatever they could, however they could, to take Trump out, and they did so in plain view of the public with a plain purpose in mind.  They lost, but now we’re supposed to feel sorry for them, so sorry that they failed to achieve the goal and the person they persecuted, relentlessly, maliciously,… Continue reading The media is only getting what’s coming after losing a nine year war against the most powerful man in the known universe

Shakespeare and the end of humanity as we know it

It’s difficult to overstate the radical rewiring of humanity and our role in the world that occurred in Shakespeare’s era, fundamentally altering the nature of our relationship with ourselves, others, and reality itself.  A rewriting that might be breaking down today...

Forget the election, the entire country is rigged against conservatives

From the polls to the debates with social media in between, there’s not a single institution that hasn’t revealed implicit bias if not outright hatred I’ll never forget the moment the media called Florida for Al Gore in 2000, essentially handing him the Presidency while the polls were still open in the conservative panhandle.  I’d… Continue reading Forget the election, the entire country is rigged against conservatives
