The world’s only one man media empire
After blithely accepting an obvious lie with no skepticism at all, even those who are now critical of the President focus their fire primarily on Donald Trump, fearing he may use the same power exactly as he promised on the campaign trail. Personally, I can’t really blame President Joe Biden for pardoning his son Hunter. … Continue reading Hunter’s pardon, pardon power generally, the media’s stupidity, lies, excuses, and penchant for blaming everything on Donald Trump, revisited
Can octopuses feel pain and pleasure? What about crabs, shrimp, insects, and spiders? The phrase “thought provoking” is frequently overused, but Professor Jonathan Birch’s new book on animal sentience and what we can do about it deserves the accolade and then some. When I was asked to review an advance copy of Professor Jonathan… Continue reading The Edge of Sentience and the beauty of being wrong
Rather than believing this is an existential conflict that requires a clear winner on either side, she claimed it is not, in fact, a “binary” issue. The thousands of protesters in DC a day earlier, including musician Dave Matthews, would beg to disagree. Last week, Vice President Kamala Harris addressed the ongoing war in Gaza… Continue reading Kamala Harris, Dave Matthews, and the truth about our binary choice in Gaza
There is, apparently, a “robust scientific literature [that] leaves no doubt about the anguish pets experience.” This anguish includes “physical confinement, social isolation, and chronic exposure to stress.” In other words, we are torturing our pets and should let them run free... Last week, people were a threat to the planet itself. This week, people… Continue reading Progressives are coming for your pets
Around 7 million have crossed the border illegally since January 2021, and somewhere over 2 million are waiting to hear their asylum claims. In other words, we could add an entire state to the Union with the number of people that have crossed the border illegally during President Biden’s tenure. For months, we’ve been informed… Continue reading Wait, I thought President Biden was supposed to be tough on the border
For hundreds of millions of years, life persisted on Earth with no meaning at all. Trillions upon trillions of creatures lived and died, born as dust and returned to it without remark. Humanity changed all that, making the meaningless, meaningful. Nature means nothing without people might seem a bold statement on the surface. Nature, after… Continue reading Nature means nothing without people and the experts have all gone insane
“The Biden administration is banking on the old ‘if you build it they will come’ approach to cudgel the auto industry away from gas-burning cars. It also seems to recognize a giant problem at the heart of the long-awaited EV revolution: Americans don’t really want them.” In other words, they will force you to comply,… Continue reading When at first you don’t succeed, mandate it by executive fiat
“This poor kid is down a hundred-foot vessel, chimney, scraping the hydrogen bubbles off of the inside,” the President told the Special Counsel. “And he was wearing the wrong pants, wrong jeans, and he—a spark caught fire...and he lost part of his penis and one of his testicles and he was 23 years old.” This… Continue reading Biden’s budget is as demented as he is
The truth is that every Presidential candidate short of George Washington has their strengths and weaknesses, and in this particular election both of the candidates are older than most would like, but otherwise, the differences between these two disparate men end there. It’s an often repeated refrain: A rematch between current President Joe Biden and… Continue reading Now that it’s almost official, is Trump versus Biden round two really the race that no one wants?
The plan is to pretend the President didn’t campaign on opening up the border to everyone, didn’t proceed to roll back every successful policy as soon as he got into office, and didn’t watch millions upon millions stream in for three years. Shortly after President Joe Biden took office, I opined that he was committing… Continue reading Biden’s border bullshit
