Shakespeare, January 6th, and the continued madness of the academic world
“It kind of has this origin in anti-immigrant sentiments, right, all the way to January 6th, when we think about that white exceptionalism, and this notion of a kind of white ownership of Shakespeare,” claimed a supposed professor of English at Arizona State University, in a truly bizarre syllogism. The average person doesn’t equate… Continue reading Shakespeare, January 6th, and the continued madness of the academic world
Biden’s foreign policy is so bad, even CNN can barely spin it anymore
The President appeared before the UN General Assembly to brag about himself and lie about a peace plan for the Middle East that his own Administration has scrapped. Even worse, the Administration admits that despite months of effort, there is no Plan B and no way forward from here to end the bloodshed. It’s official: … Continue reading Biden’s foreign policy is so bad, even CNN can barely spin it anymore
Winston Churchill and our modern fetish with ankle-biting
Last week, Tucker Carlson interviewed a historian who claimed the legendary Prime Minister was the chief villain in World War II, more responsible for the war than Hitler. Previously, progressives condemned him as a racist retrograde, nor is Churchill alone. The incessant need to continually re-evaluate the past infects both the left and increasingly the… Continue reading Winston Churchill and our modern fetish with ankle-biting
Labor Day, Rutherford B. Hayes, and first battle for worker’s rights
Five years before anyone imagined a holiday, the Great Strike of July 1877 was the largest of its kind before or since, closer to pitched battle with dozens dead on both sides.

Hayes, and first battle for worker’s rights
Rutherford B. Hayes and the crazy bad asses we are descended from
Our ancestors were complete bad asses that remained confident even a country torn by war would be reunited under our established principles. They bequeathed this history to us, but we can’t figure out how to do something as simple as balance the budget or come to a meaningful compromise on abortion. Rutherford B. Hayes isn’t… Continue reading Rutherford B. Hayes and the crazy bad asses we are descended from
JD Vance and the Republicans’ ideological revolution
The new Republican Party seeks to shift the balance of our interests shifts from abstract American ideals to the practical impact on every day Americans, America as a country like any other, with her own interests, rather than as some easily manipulated metaphor for democracy or human progress. The same way we can rarely tell… Continue reading JD Vance and the Republicans’ ideological revolution
Assassination attempts are inevitable, piss poor security is to blame rather than rhetoric
Former President Donald Trump is not the first leader to be targeted, nor will he be the last. As long as there have been politicians, or leaders of any kind, there have been those who seek to kill them for reasons of every kind.

Trump, Teddy Roosevelt, and the nature of an unstoppable force
Saturday’s heinous events will not prompt his detractors to reconsider, but to the average American, it seems sure to be a defining moment, one that allows President Trump to transcend the political box Democrats, some Republicans, and the mainstream media have tried to imprison him in for nine years. On October 14, 1912, former President… Continue reading Trump, Teddy Roosevelt, and the nature of an unstoppable force
Teddy Roosevelt’s 1914 expedition to the unexplored Amazon rainforest might be one of the most ridiculous things that’s ever happened, ever
If there’s any doubt how dangerous this expedition was, consider that it would be another thirteen years before anyone successfully made the same trip. The first follow up expedition had to turn back because of the Indians. The one after that simply disappeared without a trace, presumably killed by the Indians. Roosevelt, being Roosevelt, somehow… Continue reading Teddy Roosevelt’s 1914 expedition to the unexplored Amazon rainforest might be one of the most ridiculous things that’s ever happened, ever
