Transgender activism is everywhere these days. If we aren’t careful, we can get inured to this aspect of the Leftist agenda. We can forget what it is they promote — what they do and why they do it. Yes, I know some think that talking of such things is conspiracy-minded nuttiness. So, allow me to […]
I found another section from Vivek Ramaswamy’s book, Woke, Inc., that I wanted to share. This is from Chapter 10, “Wokeness Is Like a Religion”, so it should be pretty obvious where this is going. The author discusses noted cases in the news, from James Damore to J.K. Rowling, in which individuals dared to question […]
“That’s insane!” — Jared Dirac, Special Forces soldier The following conversation — technically just half of a conversation — is an excerpt from the science-fiction novel The Ghost Brigades by John Scalzi. Normally, I would be more likely to share something like this on my “Heroes and Aliens” blog. But, this section (and the book […]
Sometimes I want to comment on a thing, but I’m not sure I want to do a full article on it. So, this week I’m taking three of those things and giving each a paragraph or two apiece. They aren’t connected. Just think of it as “highlighted news items of the week” or something like […]
Ladies and gentlemen, it is time for a bi-annual “Top 10” list, in which I briefly preview and link to my favorite posts from this blog — this time, from 2021 and 2022. (Last such post was here.) In particular, they are typically ones in which I did more than just quote a big block […]
Longtime readers might remember that I have mentioned and quoted from Samuel Sey’s “Slow to Write” blog before. Sam recently wrote a post explaining why he takes the incrementalist approach to pro-life activism over the abolitionist immediatist approach. I thought Sam did a fine job of laying out both approaches and pointing out pluses and […]
“It is time to heed the Constitution and return the issue of abortion to the people’s elected representatives.” — Justice Samuel Alito (in the leaked opinion draft) If you are like me, you may feel a bit overwhelmed by all of the articles from the last few days talking about SCOTUS, the leaked opinion draft, […]
“He who sows the wind will reap the whirlwind. And the wind is rising.” — Jordan Peterson, paraphrasing the Bible You’ve heard of Jordan B. Peterson, right? He’s the Canadian psychology professor who has become somewhat of a celebrity/pariah in recent years, mostly because he is outspoken against things like political correctness and identity politics. […]
“Can it happen here? Of course it can.” — Rod Dreher, socio-political commentator, author, editor Forgive me for stating the obvious, but there is a lot of scary stuff goin’ on out there. Our government “leadership” and the many ideological influencers they are in league with (e.g., academia, media, ‘progressive’ corporations and organizations, etc.) are […]
Many long-time readers of this blog will remember that for several years (2014-2018) I ended each year with a “Top 10” post. For whatever reason(s), I didn’t do that for 2019, but I decided to share 10 this week from 2019-2020. As usual, my hope is that someone will find an enjoyable read or three […]
