Confessions of a Conservative Atheist
The world’s only one man media empire
To some of the film’s detractors, casting a black woman as Helen of Troy, a transgender man as Sinon, and updating the story to reflect some aspects of modern values is an assault on the foundations of all they hold dear, but Teddy Roosevelt might disagree. Teddy Roosevelt spent much of his life advancing the… Continue reading Teddy Roosevelt, The Odyssey, and the reality that Western civilization is stronger and more inclusive than defenders seem to believe
After losing power for the entire weekend, we joked that we were doing it as the Founders did – no lights, no running water, no air conditioning – but who are we kidding? The Friday before the Fourth of July my lovely wife and I did something we almost never do: Went out for dinner… Continue reading America at 250, the heat was both literal and figurative
The ceasefire is shaky, but we know this: After what everyone said wouldn’t happen, magically happened, they still concluded that what happened was bad, all without missing a beat. It’s impossible to capture the insanity that President Donald Trump’s detractors attempted to pass off as wisdom over the past five weeks in a single post,… Continue reading Trump, Iran, and the art of the impossible deal
The sight, however symbolic, of the Arab Nations joining traditional European, North American, and Asian allies along with their long term adversary Israel in a joint mission would be something no one has ever seen before, perhaps as important as Teddy Roosevelt’s Great White Fleet was way back in 1907. Last week, the media was… Continue reading The Trump Armada
Our adversaries have only gotten more emboldened since Senator John Kerry declared the doctrine dead, making it difficult to see how announcing the United States would no longer oppose foreign meddling in Latin America didn’t encourage them to meddle even more. On December 2, 1823, President James Monroe, only the fifth person to occupy the… Continue reading The Monroe Doctrine is more important than ever, disavowing it in 2013 was a tragic mistake
Somehow, an actress is slammed as a white supremacist archetype of conservatism for appearing in an advertisement as celebrities frequently do while two obvious phonies, children of privilege who claim to be socialist revolutionaries, are the new face of the Democrat Party, redefining politics for an entire generation. Over the past six months, perhaps no… Continue reading Sydney Sweeney versus Zohran Mamdani 2040: The revolution will now be cosplayed
Rather than looking at the Constitution, the history, the law, and the facts, many automatically assume President Trump will not prevail at the Supreme Court or anything else, but what else is new? Last week, Supreme Court pundits and watchers were convinced the Justices were set to overturn President Trump’s global tariff policy because several… Continue reading Reminder: The Constitution doesn’t actually mention tariffs and the Supreme Court ruled in 1928 that the power can be delegated to the President
If there’s a problem with political discourse, it’s not that speech turns rational people into irrational killers. It’s how so many people, especially young people have been taught to believe violence is justified, and how others think it acceptable to dishonor the dead for political reasons. In mathematics, there are numbers that are deemed irrational… Continue reading The danger of rationalizing the irrational and the real danger of political rhetoric
Democracy requires debate, but debate assumes that both sides have a legitimate position even if they strenuously disagree. Fascists, however, are fundamentally illegitimate, not to be reasoned with, but defeated or destroyed, hence there is no more room for debate in many Democrat circles. Both before and after the assassination of Charlie Kirk, many reasons… Continue reading The root cause of our political discontent
The real problem might not be with the shooter himself, but the darkness in the hearts of those celebrating the brutal killing of a 31 year old man with two young children, those who have become what they claim to hate. While we do not yet know who assassinated conservative activist and Turning Point USA… Continue reading The progressive heart of darkness
