If somebody from 2005 teleported 20 years into the future, they would beg to go back home. Sure, there are lots more cool toys to play with now, and the televisions are mega huge, but it seems our basic grasp of reality disappeared somewhere along the way. It’s kinda like that Ryan George series of...
It was only a week ago that the NY Times published an article about Hasan Piker, one of the left’s leading voices and the person sometimes called the Joe Rogan of the right. The story was originally titled “A Progressive Mind in a MAGA Body” but they changed it later to “A Progressive Mind in...
Race relations took a nasty turn ever since Obama elevated race as a controlling factor in politics. Polling data shows a dramatic shift downward in race relations during Obama’s second term, and the trend has continued since then. The rise of identity politics over the past decade has poisoned the well. Blacks think much more...
Three years after John Berendt released his crime drama novel Midnight In The Garden Of Good And Evil in 1994, Clint Eastwood picked up the movie rights and filmed it. It featured a star-studded cast, and turned out to be one of the few movies Eastwood directed that he didn’t at least make a cameo...
Alcatraz stopped being a prison in 1963, before I was born. I did take a tour of it on a trip to San Francisco decades ago and I remember it seemed small and pretty run down even then. But mostly in my lifetime what I remember is the movies about it. There was The Rock...
There’s another book coming out this summer which sheds some light on Joe Biden’s mental state as he campaigned for a 2nd term in 2024. It’s titled “2024: How Trump Retook the White House and the Democrats Lost America” and was co-written by three journalists from three different news outlets. Yesterday the NY Times published...
Is this Donald Trump’s final word? Or did he leave room to negotiate? Amid concerns that the US had sent mixed signals in its outreach to Iran for a peace accord, NBC’s Kristin Welker asked Trump directly about his “bottom line” with Tehran. Would Iran be allowed to pursue nuclear development if limited to civilian...
Are you worried about the threat of foreign films? For that matter, aside from Bollywood, are you aware that there is such a thing as a foreign movie industry? It sounds vaguely familiar, but when was the last time you went to see a foreign film? Everything is a national security threat. Foreign films are...
Even against the finest machinations the political establishment can produce, sometimes those cranky, knuckling-dragging peasants still do the exact opposite of what the end result was meant to be. Romania is starting to look like a classic example of overcooking the goose, because, however well-meaning or even honest the intentions of the election bureaucracy and...
Come on, man. Even the media has begun to admit — grudgingly and while covering up their own part of it — that the White House covered up Joe Biden’s cognitive collapse in the White House. Don’t micturate on our heads and then tell us about all of the precipitation in the area. Jen Psaki...
It wasn’t that long ago that Katherine Maher was complaining to The Atlantic Council that the First Amendment presented an unfortunate obstacle to the necessary task of shutting Americans up. EXCLUSIVE: Katherine Maher says the “the number one challenge” in her fight against disinformation is “the First Amendment in the United States,” which makes it...
Has Israel finally had enough of Hamas manipulation and war after nineteen years in Gaza and nineteen months of war? Their ultimatum today makes that case, assuming the Israeli government has the conviction to follow through on it. Next week, Donald Trump will pay a visit to the Middle East, including Israel, presumably to work...
Guns don’t kill people. People kill people. But people don’t kill people with replica guns, because they are not guns. The point appears to be lost on the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (BATFE), the nation’s top cops for enforcing federal firearms laws. It’s nearly illegal, and very difficult, for regular civilians to...
Yesterday, in my Sunday Smiles essay, I mused about Trump’s “own the libs” style of trolling. It drives the liberals nuts, which can be very entertaining to watch, but I think a lot of MAGA converts who were initially reluctant to support Trump for cultural reasons are made extremely uncomfortable by his constantly trolling liberals. ...
President Donald Trump’s first 100 days, which he celebrated this week with a characteristically electric campaign-style rally in Michigan, were the fastest and most frenzied 100 days in modern presidential history. And if Thursday’s presidential personnel drama is any indication, the next 100 days could offer more of the same. ...
