The world’s only one man media empire
In 1994, Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein almost ruined Kenneth Branagh’s career while this year’s equivalent of a remake from Guillermo Del Toro received almost universal praise despite making almost the same movie substantially worse. In 1994, Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein almost ruined Kenneth Branagh’s career. Though opinions of the film have generally improved in the more than… Continue reading Frankenstein and a tale of two Hollywoods
While Ms. Sweeney might be an unlikely avatar for our increasingly illiberal and insane times, an avatar of the left’s hate and endless outrage, she certainly is. Indeed, the absurdity of the whole situation only helps illustrate the point. Last week, Sydney Sweeney made news once again when detractors objected to her choice of clothing… Continue reading Reminder: Progressives hate Sydney Sweeney simply because she appeared in a clothing ad and all they have is hate for any disagreement, real or even perceived
Living in the Emirates is easy, if you follow the rules, you can enjoy all the benefits a thriving country has to offer. These rules are relatively simple, but justice is swift and the consequences are severe. Can an American cut it? As an American, I have always been proud of my country’s historic role… Continue reading My recent trip to Dubai and a few thoughts on fundamental rights
We have two choices when the Democrats and the media assert President Donald Trump’s actions are unprecedented in anything other than the pace, volume, and effectiveness. Either they truly believe the world began on January 20, 2025, or they think you are stupid enough to believe so yourself. To hear Democrats, progressives, and their allies… Continue reading No, the world didn’t begin on January 20 when President Trump retook office
“The notion that rights don’t come from laws and don’t come from the government, but come from the Creator — that’s what the Iranian government believes.

How else can you explain last weekend’s progressive delusion that President Trump suddenly died and the truth was being hidden for some unexplained, yet undoubtedly nefarious reason while his predecessor President Biden was healthy as the proverbial horse? While I have never been a fan of so-called scientific theories that claim we are living in… Continue reading You need to be living in a simulation to believe Trump is sick or suddenly died while insisting for years Biden was fit as the proverbial fiddle
Surely, any pretension of protecting democracy was fatally undermined by a call to rewrite the entire Constitution and related musings on why the military leadership hasn’t done more to undermine the Commander in Chief. Anyone who thinks irony is dead should consider the current progressive positions on the nature of democracy. On one hand, they… Continue reading The self-proclaimed defenders of democracy aren’t defending anything close to what most people consider American democracy
When was the last time you saw an ad for an automobile featuring a dirty, dinged up car parked in some equally trash strewn and crowded garage, even though that’s what happens to the great majority of cars in the real world? Last week, I noted that the recent controversy over Sydney Sweeney’s appearance in… Continue reading No, I don’t need some scold’s permission to love boobs and other recent misadventures in thought control, media, and advertising
As President Trump proceeds with his tariff policy and an appeals court prepares a ruling on whether that policy is lawful in the first place, some are claiming that tariffs fundamentally violate various conservative economic and Constitutional principles. As President Donald Trump proceeds with phase two of his tariff policy and an appeals court prepares… Continue reading Trump, tariffs, and my conservative principles
“At town halls in their districts and in one-on-one meetings with constituents and activists,” Axios reported after speaking to more than two dozen Democrats in the House of Representatives, “Democratic members of Congress are facing a growing thrum of demands to break the rules, fight dirty — and not be afraid to get hurt.” Last… Continue reading Democrats demand people get shot to protect child labor on pot farms
