Trump-haters beware, the revolution will eat its own

From the highs of a jury finding the former President guilty of sexual assault without any evidence to the lows of a Justice Department report that found no evidence and a lot of bias in the Russian collusion investigation, Trump-haters operate under the assumption that the man deserves it no matter what.  What will happen… Continue reading Trump-haters beware, the revolution will eat its own

Netflix’ Queen Cleopatra: One person’s cultural appropriation is another’s representation

The pyramid of marginalization pits one disadvantaged group against another and, in this case at least, the white people at Change.org ultimately decide who is deserving of representation whatever the historical facts or whether it’s actually cultural appropriation. Netflix’ upcoming Queen Cleopatra docuseries has been accompanied by a controversy that is perfectly illustrative of our… Continue reading Netflix’ Queen Cleopatra: One person’s cultural appropriation is another’s representation

In the future, you will no longer be going mobile

The Biden Administration announced new emissions regulations that require a full two thirds of vehicles sold in 2032 to be electric, nine short years from now.  Does anyone seriously believe that we are going to simultaneously increase the number of electric models by a factor of seven, car production by close to 12, and charging… Continue reading In the future, you will no longer be going mobile

Democracy has no meaning anymore

The legal, lawful, and democratic expulsion of two lawmakers for willingly disrupting the proceedings of every other lawmaker in the Tennessee House Chamber can only be transformed into a threat to democracy if the word itself has no meaning anymore. “We called for you all to ban assault weapons, and you respond with an assault… Continue reading Democracy has no meaning anymore

Gas stoves and the ever grasping hands of government

Who’s afraid of a little actual voting in Congress?

The House of Representatives is in the process of making the sort of history one doesn’t really want to make as the selection of Speaker moves to at least the 12th ballot, suggesting that the Republican party is fractured, which should not be much of a surprise after the midterm elections. This week, the political… Continue reading Who’s afraid of a little actual voting in Congress?

Twitter, free speech, and the gates of hell

Elon Musk’s takeover of Twitter has prompted a range of extreme, borderline hysterical reactions.  According to progressives, the gates of hell have been opened and people are going to die because Mr. Musk believes free speech is important on social media platforms and someone might encounter an objectionable tweet as a result.  What are they… Continue reading Twitter, free speech, and the gates of hell

Enough: Indict Trump already or give it a rest

The alternative to a trial of the former President is a continuation of the endless stream of leaks from prosecutors and misguided interpretations of the law from the real card carrying experts in the media.  If you truly believe the former President is guilty of something, let him have his day in open court. Tell… Continue reading Enough: Indict Trump already or give it a rest

Trump is not to blame for people’s righteous anger at the FBI

The goal of this government sponsored misdirection is the same as it’s always been:  Keep the focus on President Trump, suggesting it no longer takes two to tango as the old saying goes, rather than demanding much needed answers from the very people that plunged us into this situation to begin with. Once upon a… Continue reading Trump is not to blame for people’s righteous anger at the FBI

What is the proper remedy for an “illegitimate” Supreme Court?

Progressives take increasingly aggressive aim at the Supreme Court, branding it “illegitimate,” and recommending everything from expanding the number of Justices to ignoring their rulings entirely, but are any of their proposed schemes workable in the real world and what is the best way to proceed when the Court goes astray from your perspective?
