Ignoring the obvious joke, the problem with Miss Lindsey is that he is not loyal to his party and to his constituents. So he ignores the pesky little fact that he was elected based on his promises to act a certain way, and instead pretends to be some sort of noble statesman; doing what is…

This is fabulous news! A veteran reporter with an entire career at the NYT gets fired for pretty much nothing. Oh, there were lots of accusations of racism and insufficient purity (he might not believe in “White Privilege!”), but the only concrete charge was that he used the magic and powerful N WORDTM with +5…

Changing the past is a power denied even to God, but that doesn’t stop the totalitarian Left from doing their damnedest. Orwell and Huxley and C.S. Lewis described their efforts quite well, but it is the current state of affairs in this country that reality is stranger than fiction. What they are actually doing is…

Shift that Overton Window! Amazing that just a few years ago we were rebuilding our military so that we could operate from a position of strength. And lo and behold…no new wars for four years! But the military; always the sacrificial lamb on the alter of the Left, is now the primary cause of Global…

Free speech is, along with a few other apparently antiquated ideas like the inalienable right to self defense, property rights, and equality under the law is under attack by the (illegitimate) Biden administration. The idea that words are illegal is firmly rooted in monarchist and totalitarian visions of governance, and it sure does look like…

Susan Rice is a vile human being (and I am being generous), and the fact that she has returned to power as one of the puppeteers manipulating Joe Biden is suggestive of Obama’s control, or at least influence over the structure of the pretend administration. And prescient as ever, Orwell’s warning about language and words…

A compliant and deferential press is a powerful tool for dictators; how else do they communicate the wonderful news that gasoline is dropping in price from $2/gallon to $5/gallon! President Trump’s term was marred by a viciously antagonistic media that minimized or hid his myriad accomplishments and inflated his real or imagined flaws and missteps…

There are dozens of words to describe what can only be seen as discarding one’s political philosophy for less honorable goals. The entire media-inspired conceit that politicians who “rise above” their political philosophy for some sort of communitarian goal are statesmen and grand national leaders is a cover for exactly the sort of politician that…

The Democrat party, once the party of slavery, and when that ended the party of segregation and overtly racist policies, has morphed into the party of the rich and well connected, and even worse, the party of corporatism. That is not to say that they have abandoned their roots; scratch a progressive and find a…

“The Invisible Hand” (Adam Smith’s term) is often used to describe the millions of individual decisions that in the aggregate guide the economy. It is nothing more than self-interest multiplied by everyone on earth. And that self-interest is a powerful driver of change. But not just economic; I refer to social and political change. And…
