American professional sports leagues have morphed into America-hating, international-focused organizations that seem hellbent on destroying the history of their sports and their deep connections to American culture. Baseball was truly America’s summer entertainment, and its culture extended far beyond the playing fields. Football and basketball —the upstart games — Similarly entered our culture, with basketball…

The Morning Rant: What Don’t You Understand About Socialists?
The idea that Socialism is just another political philosophy is embedded in a certain segment of our country. You know…the morons. “Sure! Let’s try it out! Maybe it will work!” These are the ignorant among us who never learned a damned thing about the evils of socialism, because their teachers were crypto-socialists…or as is increasingly…
On The One Hand, Iran’s Economy Is imploding…On The Other Hand, The Mullahs And IRGC Are Willing To Suffer A Lot!
We Need More Hands!
Every second that goes by weakens the Iranian attempts to control the Strait of Hormuz. There are multiple projects underway to create the infrastructure to bypass the chokepoint of Hormuz, and not just pipelines that bypass it. Shale oil, fracking, horizontal drilling, vast improvements in techniques to maximize production in existing wells, reopening huge oil…
The Morning Rant: When Capital Is Mobile, Socialism Will Fail
The Soviet Union had a captive audience…nobody could leave with their money or their infrastructure unless the party allowed it. Communist China is the same way, as is Cuba, and North Korea, and Venezuela, and… And leaving Krasnoyarsk for Tomsk, in the hope of more opportunity didn’t work either…the laws under which the subjects of…
The Morning Rant: The Terrorists Have Won (At Least In The UK)
Contrary to the breathless reporting about this event, Laurence Fox’s stunt…threatening to display a cartoon of the 7th century pedophile Mohammad… is actually a perfect example of Islam’s ascendance in the West. Fox is not a brave man fighting against the encroaching darkness of Islam; he is an observer pointing out that Islam has already…
The Future Of Socialism Is Made Of Silicon
There is a dangerous hubris implicit in conservative political philosophy that eventually, free markets and conservative values will win out. It’s easy to fall into that trap, because there is a huge amount of empirical evidence that free markets and restricted government are far better at generating wealth and protecting liberty than anything else. History…
The Morning Rant
Crime, housing, and employment are recurrent issues in America. Any politician who addresses them and has a rational plan to ease America’s crime rate, soaring housing costs, and tortured employment opportunity will have a solid foundation for success. For 60 years, our politicians, in league with consumers of cheap labor, have imported millions of people…some…
As Ye Sow, So Shall Ye Reap: The Failure Of Western Europe To Defend Itself From Invasion
Brussels is 25% Muslim. Why is anyone surprised that the social compact (a Western idea) has broken down, and crime is rampant? Why is anyone surprised that the possibility of terrorist attacks has increased? Why is anyone surprised that attacks on Jews have increased? In the first two months after the October 7, 2023 terrorist…
The Morning Rant
Yes, it is July 2026, and presidential nominee polls two+ years before the election are measures of whose name has been in the news, rather than the slightly more methodical decisions that Americans make closer to the election. But a surging AOC is vastly amusing. As the public, social-media-driven Democrat Party is dominated by the…
The Morning Rant
After a generation of barely paying lip service to any conservative principles, the British Conservative Party got thrown out on its collective wide, flaccid ass. They were the UK equivalent of the worst of the GOPe, pandering to their supposed base while rushing headlong into EU-style globalist nonsense, caving to the left, and insulting their…
