Give the man some credit.

Featured image from NBC. Follow the link for an article about him contracting COVID. Bill Maher had a segment that I agree with wholly, about the lessons learned from Afghanistan. As much as I can disagree with him on his politics and personal philosophy, I try to find the places where we can agree. This […]

Biden should resign…

Featured image from News18.com. The original story is in Telugu, so have fun translating. The Biden Administration is failing, and we’re seeing it collapse in real time.

One of my favorite movies is V for Vendetta, a graphic novel based movie about an anarchist anti-hero in a dystopian totalitarian England. While the movies villain, High Chancellor Sutler, appears from the “conservative” party, the parallels to […]

So This is how Liberty Dies…

Featured Image from the Chicago Sun Times, follow the link for some bulls**t puff piece about Antifa. It’s odd how life imitates art sometimes. I wish it weren’t the case these days… We’re watching in real time, a collapse of the American Republic, and in its place a Democrat controlled authoritarian state being erected, all […]

The Illusion of Freedom…

Ladies and gentlemen, we are not living in a free society. As Rousseau said, “Man is born free, yet everywhere he is in chains.” If you have ever played chess, you enter into the endgame phase, the part of the game where the necessary sacrifices have already been made, and the momentum toward either victory […]
