If you’re someone who is interested in sociology and psychology, the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson is a mind bender. An unimaginable tragedy of this magnitude is hard for a normal person to fathom, because normal people have a bias toward normalcy. Abnormal things simply make no sense to the normal mind. Which brings […]

When the story broke that Mika and Morning Joe met with Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago, the Trump-is-Hitler crowd went crazy (actually, got crazier). After all, the rank-and-file doofuses in the anti-Trump movement have never doubted that the legacy media pundits are sincere in their beliefs. Now, however, it appears that Mika and Joe have been […]

In the 1970 film Tora! Tora! Tora! Japanese Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto famously said, after he directed the Japanese naval attack on Pearl Harbor, “I’m afraid we have awakened a sleeping giant and filled him with a terrible resolve.” While there is no evidence that Yamamoto ever actually spoke these words in real life, they remain […]

It’s been more than 60 years since Ronald Reagan’s famous speech about freedom never being more than one generation away from extinction. I thought about Reagan’s words this morning after witnessing yesterday’s miracle that saw Donald Trump, determined Republican operatives, and millions of fed-up voters succeed in slowing the momentum of the Dems’ determination to […]

With his calm, cool, articulate performance in the vice-presidential debate, JD Vance stunned those who had bought into the Dems’ childish narrative that he was weird. This may have been the first vice-presidential debate in history to make a difference in how people vote, because with Donald Trump being a 78-year-old moving target — literally […]

During Dan Bongino’s appearance on stage with Tucker Carlson last week, Tucker asked him if he thought people had had enough and are ready to push back and turn the country turnaround.

The story of civilization is, to borrow a phrase from 18th century Scottish poet Robert Burns, man’s inhumanity to man or, more commonly, crimes against humanity. When people talk about this phenomenon, they usually are referring to criminal behavior — things like rape, torture, murder, and worse, both on a one-on-one scale and in all-out […]

“I’m serious.” “I’m not joking.” “I’m not kidding.” “That’s not hyperbole.” “Not a joke.” “I mean it.” “It’s a fact.” “I’m not lying.” Who in the world talks like this? As it turns out, a lot more people than just the late Joe Biden. It’s a condition similar to Tourette’s Syndrome, in that the afflicted […]

Legendary Austrian economist/philosopher Friedrich Hayek was on target when he said, “In government, the scum rises to the top.” Government makes it possible for some of the worst human beings on the planet to wield the most power. It’s so consistently true that it can’t be dismissed as mere coincidence. Take, for example, what Democrats […]
