Trey Anastasio is the greatest musician of his generation and it’s not even close

While the Phish guitarist, singer, and songwriter is far from a household name, he certainly should be.  Over the course of three shows in barely six months with three completely different configurations, he belted out fifty eight songs or more than six full albums of material.  I’ve been fortunate enough to see Trey Anastasio three… Continue reading Trey Anastasio is the greatest musician of his generation and it’s not even close

The Orange Man Bad Theory of Everything

As a general rule, at least some policies are going to have a neutral impact if only because they are ineffective, not everything is going to be illegal or unconstitutional, and the worst possible political and other outcome isn’t going to happen in every situation.  While it’s traditional for the opposition party to oppose, I… Continue reading The Orange Man Bad Theory of Everything

Progressives should’ve listened to Chuck Schumer because they are the ones now reaping the whirlwind

While some say this more aggressive use of power will come back to haunt us as Democrats regain these same powers and use them in turn, conservatives have already been silenced and punished.  There is little more that they can do, and a little retribution is more than well deserved. “You have unleashed the whirlwind… Continue reading Progressives should’ve listened to Chuck Schumer because they are the ones now reaping the whirlwind

Hunter’s pardon, pardon power generally, the media’s stupidity, lies, excuses, and penchant for blaming everything on Donald Trump, revisited

After blithely accepting an obvious lie with no skepticism at all, even those who are now critical of the President focus their fire primarily on Donald Trump, fearing he may use the same power exactly as he promised on the campaign trail. Personally, I can’t really blame President Joe Biden for pardoning his son Hunter. … Continue reading Hunter’s pardon, pardon power generally, the media’s stupidity, lies, excuses, and penchant for blaming everything on Donald Trump, revisited

Nature means nothing without people and the experts have all gone insane

For hundreds of millions of years, life persisted on Earth with no meaning at all.  Trillions upon trillions of creatures lived and died, born as dust and returned to it without remark.  Humanity changed all that, making the meaningless, meaningful. Nature means nothing without people might seem a bold statement on the surface.  Nature, after… Continue reading Nature means nothing without people and the experts have all gone insane

Everyone knows the economy sucks except Joe Biden and the media, part two

Last week’s dismal GDP growth number occurs as President Biden ends the use of the term “Bidenomics,” not because his policies don’t work, but because you are too dumb to understand them. Last week’s dismal GDP growth number will prove to be the last gasp of “Bidenomics,” a word that will live in political infamy… Continue reading Everyone knows the economy sucks except Joe Biden and the media, part two

Trump and the inherent complexities of the trans question

The former President gave a rambling answer that some conservatives saw as less than optimal, but the real question is what can the government and the free citizens of a Republic do about a complex, controversial topic that cannot simply be wished away with simple statements?  Last week, former President Donald Trump appeared to give… Continue reading Trump and the inherent complexities of the trans question

Provocative opinion: Balloon-gate is an impeachable offense

The President of the United States recklessly and dangerously unleashed F22 Raptors on three amateur balloons in as many days with no explanation.  The Founders would’ve considered this an impeachable offense and a subordinate would likely face criminal charges under the Uniform Code of Military Justice. The Biden Administration and the media have rapidly moved… Continue reading Provocative opinion: Balloon-gate is an impeachable offense

The curious case of Senator Kyrsten Sinema

The Arizona Senator declares her independence from the Democrat Party, claiming partisanship in Washington, DC has run amuck, and yet she expects nothing to change after her announcement.  Progressives may have other plans after this curiously inconsequential development. Last week, Arizona Senator Kyrsten Sinema rocked the political world by announcing she was leaving the Democrat… Continue reading The curious case of Senator Kyrsten Sinema

Unpopular opinion: Hollywood’s exploitation of the gay community is demeaning, demented, and borderline disgusting

AMC’s Interview with the Vampire and the “gay romcom” Bros substitute cheap shock value for real storytelling, reducing the homosexual community to demeaning caricatures in the service of what The New Yorker describes as a “radical vision of life outside of heteronormative strictures.”  It’s exploitation plain and simple, call it “gaysploitation,” for the masses.  We’ve… Continue reading Unpopular opinion: Hollywood’s exploitation of the gay community is demeaning, demented, and borderline disgusting
