The world’s only one man media empire
As even Vox.com was honest enough to note, America in 1976 was in a far worse place than today, and yet Americans felt better about the country and the future. Before the results of the 2024 election were known on the evening of November 5, I encouraged everyone to remember their Billy Joel. At the… Continue reading America at 250, why does progressive politics define the lives of so many of our fellow citizens, making them almost completely miserable?
The combination of the artificiality and their sudden desire to champion beautiful, rich white people like Governor Gavin Newsom at least partially for being beautiful, rich, and white seems at odds with their decades long obsession with people of color and fear of the white savior complex There’s no doubt that California Governor Gavin Newsom… Continue reading Don’t look now, but Democrats suddenly have a white savior complex, lavishing love on a dude for being traditionally Caucasian and imitating Donald Trump
After the counting is done and the music stops, you still have only one life to live, one country to live in, and one world to share with both those who agree and those who disagree. You need to find a way to continue onward, hopefully upward. I believe I’ve passed the ageOf consciousness and… Continue reading Today is a good day to remember your Billy Joel, for life goes on no matter who was wrong or right
It is a tragedy not of a single individual or even the entire Roman Republic, but one of power, who has it, who wants it, how they get it, and how it ebbs and flows at the whims of the crowd, exercising their free and fickle will to support who they choose at any given… Continue reading Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar and the nature of power in the hands of the people
It doesn’t take a genius to figure out that a show about movies should offer what you haven’t seen before, leaving you with a little of the magic in your own home, rather than scratching your head wondering what they pay these people so much more money for in the first place. Hollywood is supposed… Continue reading The Oscars are an embarrassment for an industry that prides itself on creativity and showmanship
There is no politics or religion at 100 plus miles per hour. There is no conservative versus liberal going up the Climbing Esses at VIR. Your religion doesn’t matter on the Rollercoaster. No, you might never drive a racecar, but racing is not the only community out there. Racing isn’t for everyone. I think a… Continue reading Everyone needs a racecar or something like it in their lives
My writing process can best be described as vomiting on the screen and sifting through it in search of an editable morsel. The morsel is then preserved as I throw up again and repeat the process. Many morsels do not make it, some do as the process repeats itself into something resembling a final product. … Continue reading Celebrating 500 posts: Why and how I write
Fair minded people across the political spectrum were shocked to learn last week that a fetal heartbeat is no longer a heartbeat. Though the developing organ pumps blood through the body the same as an adult heart and its continuous beating is required for the baby to survive, the science had apparently changed, suddenly, making… Continue reading The fetal heartbeat debate: If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and talks like a duck…
A recent interview with 60 Minutes’ Scott Pelley serves as a masterclass in how not to communicate. Many of the questions were overwhelmingly obvious, but still the President was unclear, unfocused, and rambling, insulting the American people by denying what is happening before their very eyes. Even when he speaks with clarity and conviction, his… Continue reading Biden is the worst Presidential communicator in recent memory
In principle, a holiday dedicated to honoring America’s long march to freedom is an unequivocally good thing, but in practice progressives and Democrat lawmakers twist it for their present political purposes, haranguing the country and proposing radical policies. At the risk of sounding somewhat retrograde and out of step with the times, I have mixed… Continue reading Juneteenth: The good, the bad, and the ugly
