The world’s only one man media empire
For better or worse, one of the most significant cultural shifts since the counterculture revolution has been our collective tolerance of risk, and we should not tolerate any activity that violates the current societal norms around safety and public behavior. At the risk of stating the obvious typing away at a keyboard in front of… Continue reading The fine line between protests and terrorism in the era of safety and security
What began as an obvious stunt, turned into a trap when it was revealed intelligence officials have the time to discuss castration on government systems and, apparently, the entire government can be thrown into chaos by a simple request. In the annals of American history, perhaps few things are more emblematic of the absurdity of… Continue reading The email heard around the world
Can a song can be a stirring patriotic anthem and a condemnation of certain aspects of the American experience at the same time, a paradox of a piece of music if you will? On the surface, “Born in the USA” isn’t a patriotic song, far from it. Originally conceived and recorded as a mournful yet… Continue reading Springsteen’s “Born in the USA” and the paradox of a song
Less than four years ago, the unvaccinated were the enemy, killing their fellow citizens, and their rights, their jobs, their families, their homes, their entire lives didn’t matter. There was no compassion to be found. No sympathy. No helping hand. In many cases, not even unemployment when they were forced from their jobs for no… Continue reading Why I’m all out of compassion for government workers in the wake of the pandemic
Can firing a bureaucrat in DC cause a plane to crash in Toronto? According to wild new theory being promulgated by progressives and the media, it certainly can. In science, the Butterfly Effect describes how small changes in input can have large changes in output. As the classic thought experiment goes, a butterfly flapping its… Continue reading The Butterfly Effect Theory of Government Workers
They also revealed the reality that not a penny of spending is wasted in their eyes, no cuts are possible, and any cut will be deemed a catastrophe. Earlier this week, President Donald Trump issued an executive order temporarily pausing federal grants to third parties including non-governmental organizations, as part of what I have been… Continue reading Democrats and the media are spreading more fear and confusion than anyone else
Inherent in the outrage is the idea that media outlets exist to advance their progressive view of the world, prioritizing their beliefs and preferences above all others. Progressives have whipped themselves into a frenzy over The Washington Post’s decision not to endorse a candidate for president this year or, assuming they stick to it, any… Continue reading The Washington Post’s endorsement “scandal” says a lot more about progressives than anything else
When Secretary of State Hillary Clinton used a fake Southern accent in 2015, we called it pandering, even those who tried to rationalize the behavior and give her the benefit of the doubt, but today Vice President Harris’ obviously fake accent is an intrinsic part of her mixed race heritage and dare not be questioned… Continue reading Code-switching is all the rage, but what’s with the progressive need for new words to describe old things?
One narrative holds that Vice President Kamala Harris has created the most joyous, transcendent election campaign since President Barack Obama in less than three weeks. Another is that she has done absolutely nothing except garner larger crowds, read someone else’s scripts, and pose for the cameras. Like magic, the media has settled on a new… Continue reading Let them eat joy
Everyone knows Vice President Harris is awful. It’s why talk about whether President Biden should withdraw from the race included an aside about what to do with her. Is it possible she could be passed over somehow? Instead, she had to be completely remade, downright deified, the same way Biden was before her. As I… Continue reading The batshit crazy coronation of Kamala Harris is history repeating itself as farce
