Make no mistake…we have one global enemy, and it ain’t Russia, which is a fading country that once was a superpower, and has retained some of its former bite in the form of nuclear weapons. But its current experience in Ukraine suggests that it is at best a regional player, without the military prowess and…

What a classic of the genre…lots of emotional quotations, lots of flashy data, but no balance at all! There are six or seven people quoted in this mess of an article, but shockingly all of them are partisan; and you can guess which side they are cheer-leading for. And all of that data are numbers…

One of the many conceits of our political ruling class is the expectation that the typical voter will consider them intellectually superior. Most of them do this by carefully memorizing glib, intelligent-sounding phrases and buzz-words that sound impressive but are ultimately meaningless when examined with any degree of intellectual rigor. Barack Obama was and still…

Sefton and CBD are joined once again by Michael Walsh: The Roe v Wade decision leak, things are looking up for conservatives, the American Ministry of Truth, Ukraine situation and potential for nuclear conflict with Putin, intellectual bankruptcy of our leaders and the people, thoughts on the late Terry Teachout, and more!

Buck Throckmorton wrote a well-reasoned rant yesterday about the supposed crisis in student loan debt, and the absolutely insane plan that the federal government is going to forgive a portion of that debt. His answer to the deeply offensive notion that the taxpayers who fund our bloated federal leviathan should pay off the equally bloated…

At least Carlson doesn’t wear a bow tie with his klan robes, so I guess we have his evolving fashion sense to thank for that. The New York Times Series Attacking Tucker Carlson Buried a Pretty Important Disclaimer On Saturday morning, The New York Times engaged in quite the hackery against Fox News’ Tucker Carlson…

They set the bar at the highest (lowest) levels and continually challenge the other states to race to the most crushing and anti-freedom, anti-market solutions…

Is the Left knocked back on its heels? Is the GOP able/willing to pounce and capture disaffected Dems? Elon “Grabbe’s” Twitter, Indian and Asian cultural observations, Kevin McCarthy duplicity exposed, the corruption of the scientific method, objectivity vs. subjectivity, whither the Chinese people, the war on meritocracy.

American Exceptionalism. 3,000 years of intellectual, spiritual, social, and personal development has culminated in the greatest culture the world has ever seen. It is based on individual liberty, cultural freedom, and is dependent on the currently out-of-fashion idea that the nation-state is the highest expression of the human condition. Well…let me rephrase that. The Western…

The Democrat/Progressive Cabal has had a virtual lock on fire-breathing representatives and pundits spouting the tenets of their fringe. Nobody bats an eye when Alexandria Donkey-Chompers spouts Maoist nonsense or one of the Dem’s captive talking heads blabbers mostly incoherently about some pie-in-the-sky notion…like the Green New Deal. In fact, it is taken seriously by…
