Only Hollywood could make Napoleon a boring, lovesick mope rather than one of the most dynamic and engaging personalities in world history

Rather than the fearless, master horseman who led charges, the film depicts a far more reserved and fearful man.  Rather than the dynamic, workaholic it shows us a moribund, borderline depressive.  Rather than anything resembling the whirlwind of actions and contradictions the real man must’ve been, we are left with only with a poor, bittersweet… Continue reading Only Hollywood could make Napoleon a boring, lovesick mope rather than one of the most dynamic and engaging personalities in world history

Trump, Teddy Roosevelt, and the nature of an unstoppable force

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

Pro-Palestinian protestors are the real story of “Genocide Joe’s” Presidential Campaign so far

What are the odds that a man who regularly slurs his words and whose ability to stand trial was questioned by his own Justice Department doesn’t lash out and create a potential viral spectacle after being repeatedly confronted by members of his own party in outright rebellion? Last week, President Biden held a glitzy fundraiser… Continue reading Pro-Palestinian protestors are the real story of “Genocide Joe’s” Presidential Campaign so far

Springsteen’s “Tougher Than the Rest” and the dramatic decline in divorce rates

Barely half as many couples are getting divorced and more couples are getting married than in recent years. Some experts attribute the trend to being intentional about your mate and choosing companionship rather than romance. Perhaps Springsteen put it best in “Tougher Than the Rest,” or even Shakespeare hundreds of years earlier in Romeo and… Continue reading Springsteen’s “Tougher Than the Rest” and the dramatic decline in divorce rates

Harvard should still be defunded, fast, and the ridiculousness that racism is driving it

Both conservatives and progressives couldn’t be more misguided in their reaction to Claudine Gay’s resignation from Harvard and how to move forward, offering more conservative and progressive urban legend or myth than reality, for different reasons of course.  Last week, Harvard President Claudine Gay resigned from her position after mounting evidence that her supposed academic… Continue reading Harvard should still be defunded, fast, and the ridiculousness that racism is driving it

A President’s son is charged, a President himself continues to lie, the media remains half asleep, and where it ends, no one knows

Three years ago The New York Times, CNN, and others pretended there was nothing out of the ordinary with Hunter receiving millions of dollars without providing any work product or paying any taxes. Now, he faces serious jail time. Whether or not this reaches the President himself remains to be seen. Last week, the President’s… Continue reading A President’s son is charged, a President himself continues to lie, the media remains half asleep, and where it ends, no one knows

Palestine, Hamas, Israel, and antisemitism: Good faith is hard to find

Remember when the Tea Party movement that formed under President Barack Obama was maligned as a racist haven for white supremacy by many of the same people who are now studiously avoiding a discussion of the rampant antisemitism in their midst? In principle, it is possible to be a supporter of Palestine without being an… Continue reading Palestine, Hamas, Israel, and antisemitism: Good faith is hard to find

The media thinks you’ve got the IQ of the aging coon hound sitting on the other side of my desk

A former high school principal might’ve pulled a fire alarm in Congress by accident, believing it was a door handle.  Meanwhile, no one should be the slightest bit concerned that a judge presiding over a civil case against former President Trump appears to be a radical leftist with a staff that hangs out with Chuck… Continue reading The media thinks you’ve got the IQ of the aging coon hound sitting on the other side of my desk

DeSantis supporters sure are getting desperate while Biden himself gets older and even more tired

President Biden officially entered the race with a broadside against his opposition which if the polls are any indication is likely to be former President Trump, setting up a rematch of the oldest in history.  Meanwhile, Governor DeSantis’ supporters are close to freaking out… A mere six months ago, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis was the… Continue reading DeSantis supporters sure are getting desperate while Biden himself gets older and even more tired

Who’s afraid of a little actual voting in Congress?

The House of Representatives is in the process of making the sort of history one doesn’t really want to make as the selection of Speaker moves to at least the 12th ballot, suggesting that the Republican party is fractured, which should not be much of a surprise after the midterm elections. This week, the political… Continue reading Who’s afraid of a little actual voting in Congress?
