Biden supporters should spare us the buyer’s remorse

The media has suddenly discovered that President Biden is a rapidly fading old man and some Democrats are claiming he shouldn’t run again in 2024.  Of course, Biden’s many problems were evident long before he got into office. Where were they then? Nobody should be surprised that Joe Biden makes an awful President.  He’d been… Continue reading Biden supporters should spare us the buyer’s remorse

Biden and Trump: A tale of two primaries

One wields influence in the party even as some want to prevent him from running for office ever again.  The other’s presence is defined primarily by his absence while some question his ability to run for office ever again.  Strange days in primary season indeed. Calculating the precise influence former President Donald Trump maintains in… Continue reading Biden and Trump: A tale of two primaries

Choose culture and competency over gun control

The story is tragically familiar:  Every mass shooting is followed by impassioned pleas for more gun control, but no attention is paid to how frequently our current laws fail or why our culture seems incapable of spotting the obvious signs that an attack. Let me begin by saying that I’m a believer in the Second… Continue reading Choose culture and competency over gun control

It’s long past time to discuss President Biden’s obvious mental decline

The media doesn’t seem to care, indeed is doing its best to hide it, but we cannot have a President doddering around a stage, shaking hands with the empty air without serious repercussions.  Talk of the 25th Amendment was all the rage when President Trump was in office.  We need some of that now, fast,… Continue reading It’s long past time to discuss President Biden’s obvious mental decline

The NYC subway shooter, the media, and the strange failure of content moderation

The NYC subway shooter’s social media profile revealed hundreds of anti-racist and other disturbing rants, where he argued the races should be separated and asked “black Jesus” to kill all white people.  The media, however, thinks he’s anti-black, and no one has even bothered to ask how these inflammatory, racist posts made it past the… Continue reading The NYC subway shooter, the media, and the strange failure of content moderation

Elon Musk: Are much needed changes coming to Twitter?

The world’s richest man and self-proclaimed “free speech absolutist” is now the largest shareholder of the social media platform after haranguing it as a threat to democracy for limiting speech.  This isn’t a purely academic point after the platform blatantly interfered in the 2020 election.  In a more rational and fair world, Twitter would be… Continue reading Elon Musk: Are much needed changes coming to Twitter?

Hunter Biden: The media and the experts new the laptop was real all along, but they chose to lie about it anyway

As the President’s son pays $1,000,000 in back taxes in a desperate attempt to avoid criminal prosecution, The New York Times tries to take credit for verifying the existence of his laptop after the media establishment and their partners in the intelligence community have been lying about it for almost two years.  This is election… Continue reading Hunter Biden: The media and the experts new the laptop was real all along, but they chose to lie about it anyway

From “hide the decline” to hide the coronavirus data

The scientific establishment positions itself as an objective authority that demands our trust, but their actions over the course of the past two decades certainly don’t suggest they are worthy of it.  From an old scandal in climate science to a new one concerning the pandemic, they hide the data that doesn’t support their conclusions… Continue reading From “hide the decline” to hide the coronavirus data

Russian Collusion: The Durham investigation continues apace and the media continues to deny the reality of Hillary Clinton’s role

Last week, the Special Counsel released another round of indictments which the media dutifully ignored and then promptly pretended didn’t mean anything, but one thing is clear:  The Clinton campaign was behind the hoax the entire time, funneling false reports to an incredibly naïve and corrupt FBI and the media including the original Steele Dossier,… Continue reading Russian Collusion: The Durham investigation continues apace and the media continues to deny the reality of Hillary Clinton’s role

President Biden is unhinged, or at least that’s what the media would be saying were he President Trump

Last year, I proposed the Trump Test, that is imagine your reaction if Trump was the President instead of Biden, and Trump was the one insulting reporters, tacitly granting permission for Russia to invade Ukraine, and claiming he was “outperforming” expectations in the midst of constant crises.  The media had a term for this.  They… Continue reading President Biden is unhinged, or at least that’s what the media would be saying were he President Trump
