Vote. Do your options stink? Absolutely! I am second to none in my disdain for the machine Republicans on the ballot in Georgia. They are craven opportunists without a shred of integrity or a coherent political philosophy. Vote anyway. Yes, the possibility that the senate, led by the swamp creature formerly known as Mitch McConnell…

Think back almost 30 years, when AIDS was a new and terrifying disease. Had we treated it as a highly infectious disease and used the then current laws, it is entirely possible that we could have reduced the death toll, and drastically reduced its terrible effects on hemophiliacs and surgical patients. But politics trumps all,…

The inarticulate fury of the foot soldiers of the left has been well documented. Sputtering-mad fools driving themselves into lamp posts, or jabbering incoherently for painfully embarrassing minutes in social media posts, or the idiotic messages spray-painted on buildings and barricades. Or even the more personal signs of anger: ridiculous haircuts and mutilating piercings and…

American Exceptionalism is real. It created the greatest economic engine in history, and on the way it also created a flat society, in which movement from the lowest levels to the highest can happen in the blink of an eye. America has created wealth where once there was none, and no hope for any. America…

This is a textbook example of the corruption of the Deep StateTM and the unholy alliance between corporate America and government. In a sane world this sort of glaringly obvious sale of influence would be laughed out of existence, or would land someone in prison. But the tentacles of this vile beast extend everywhere, and…

Certainly in the short term, such as during war, increasing the debt is a necessary evil. But as debt increases faster than…

This is from the always intriguing Jason Whitlock, who clearly has no idea that he is violating every cultural norm of the Left by actually thinking for himself and rejecting the narrative that it is all Whitey’s fault. Commenter “Satrose” sent this to me yesterday and I read it with great interest. I’m not so…

As usual, J.J. Sefton beat me to this excellent article, but its message is worth repeating. The Left, with its slavish adherence to dogma, and its acolytes willing to be foot soldiers in its war against the West, has systematically overrun the institutions that made America great and unique, and any change, even if possible,…

Yeah…not much of a rant because I am currently away from my computer and the thought of composing one of these on a phone is just a little silly. But…commenter “Blake” sent me a link to a thought-provoking blog entry that addresses many of the issues we discuss here every day. You might not like…

The usual suspects are trying to whip up class resentment over the supposedly unequal and inefficient distribution of the Wuhan Flu vaccine. Regardless of whether you will get the vaccine, here’s a bit of actual fact to counter the leftist politics of division. I’ll use Pfizer as an example. Pfizer already has infrastructure in place…
