Surveillance cameras are becoming very common in America, and have been ubiquitous in other parts of the world for many years. Private cameras are very different from government-controlled surveillance, and government demands for privately-acquired data usually go through the courts. But governments are increasingly relying on their own cameras, and those cameras are often owned…

It is depressingly axiomatic that our current crop of pathetic, ahistoric, crass, rapacious, unpatriotic sub-wits in our government have no understanding the unique drive for freedom and liberty that animated our founders. And what makes it worse is that they have no appreciation for what those men created: a template for the greatest country in…

The 1st Amendment to the United States Constitution is a very interesting thing. Many people misinterpret it, in particular the so-called “Establishment Clause,” which prevents the establishment of a state religion, rather than the more popular assumption that it prevents all government involvement. The third clause, “Congress shall make no law […] abridging the freedom…

Graphic courtesy of Dr_No Socialism is communism with a pretty face, and Democratic Socialists of America are simply socialists wearing expensive clothing paid for by mommy and daddy. That they sound like stoned college sophomores sitting around getting stoned and talking politics is in part because that is exactly who they are. The recent primary…

The descent into socialism that NYC seems to have embraced was not created out of whole cloth. This was not some covert effort to insinuate a crypto-socialist into the halls of power, the way Obama slithered his way into the Oval Office. The NYC versions are out-and-proud Islamo-fascists who cover themselves with a thin veneer…

Colorblind..Colorblind…COLORBLIND! What is so complicated about the thoroughly obvious concept that a nation cannot long survive if it sees race as a defining characteristic of its citizens? Extrapolate that to ethnicity and religion and sexual proclivity and eventually the absolute insanity of recognizing psychiatric illness (transsexualism), and we have the current situation in much of…

The science of vaccines and the resulting public health miracles are one of the glories of Western Civilization. We eradicated Small Pox, have marvelous vaccines for Rabies, Tetanus, Diphtheria, and a slew of childhood diseases that can be dangerous like Pertusis (Whooping Cough), Mumps, and Measles. But the arrogance of the government medical establishment, coupled…

Here, in microcosm, is the existential issue with the Republican Party. The traditional political philosophy that informs it is so weak and watered down that the immense egos of the leadership has replaced it. Of course one might ask what their current philosophy is, and the answer? The use of power to accumulate wealth. That…

Hatred of religion is a hallmark of the progressive mindset that has engulfed Major League Baseball. Well, not all religions…just the ones that Americans prefer. Islam is conspicuously absent from the mockery and marginalizing that MLB prefers as its corporate ethos. Remember the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence? Yeah…the vile drag group that revels in insulting…

Except…our government is fanatical about spying on us, and there is no way that a temporary pause in their ability to spy on Americans will survive. That pause is for purely political reasons, as the House simply doesn’t like President Trump’s nominee for Director of National Intelligence (DNI). Once that little pissing match is cleared…
