The lessons of the Easter Rising of 1916 are probably lost to many, but should be equally obvious to any who think through any future armed response to government overreach. The IRA fought the British army in the streets, and after six days they surrendered…unconditionally. Going toe-to-toe with a modern army that had no qualms…

From “Merry Christmas” to “Happy Holidays” seems like a small step, but it is a hugely significant one. The step from a clear recognition of a religious holiday for Christians has morphed into a generic salutation that is, on the face of it, intended to be more inclusive, but in reality is dismissive of 2,000…

If you think that we are unique in our political dysfunction, Israel says, “Hold My Beer!” And they have the added insult of American pressure groups weighing in on their elections even before the vote count is complete. And what are those pressure groups? The obvious Leftist, anti-religion, Jewish-in-name-only groups that never saw a religious…

Cradle-To-Grave socialism…it’s all the rage! What did these idiots expect…some huge federal bailout of their little factory? Unicorns and Universal Basic Income and a chicken in every pot? Actions have consequences, and the union got exactly what it deserved. I hope the local folds, and while I have a tiny amount of sympathy for the…

Ignorance of The Scientific Method, and willful distortion of the data to serve political ends is a common theme in these pages, but the attacks on Governor DeSantis (my current 2024 front-runner) and his rational approach to the Wuhan flu epidemic in Florida is particularly egregious. Ron DeSantis Versus the “Party of Science.” In May…

“It doesn’t matter how beautiful your theory is, it doesn’t matter how smart you are. If it doesn’t agree with experiment, it’s wrong.” — Richard P. Feynman Sitting around a dorm room, getting high with your friends and solving the ills of the world is something that most of us have left behind. But the…

Diversity is one of those words that means whatever the left wants it to mean, as long as we all assume that it doesn’t exist and that things must change to achieve it. But diversity is antithetical to market economies and societal freedom. Do we want the boardrooms of America to look like the nurses’…

Anti-Judaism…anti-Semitic…they are distinctions without a difference, and taking seriously the academic parsing leads inexorably to arguments like, “I’m not an anti-Semite, I am an anti-Zionist!” Just take a look at the UN, which is second to none in its Jew-hate! In 2017, 21 of 27 UNGA condemnatory country-specific resolutions (or 78%) exclusively targeted Israel. There…

I was in the car a couple of days ago and happened to catch a few minutes of Sean Hannity (YOU ARE A GREAT AMERICAN!) interviewing Newt Gingrich. Well, not really interviewing as much as giving him a tongue bath; it was pretty embarrassing. But Gingrich said something that was intended to be profound and…

Our culture has descended so far into madness that we need laws to protect minors from life-changing mutilation at the hands of their parents and physicians. The “Trans Movement” is the left’s tip of the spear in its attacks on Western culture and traditional American society, and it will surprise no one but disgust all…
