Posted by on April 14, 2024 at 6:28 pm

“[I]f you have an existing nuke, keep it open if you can.

A Conspiracy by Any Other Name

Posted by on February 25, 2024 at 7:32 pm

Some conspiracies are true. We hear a lot about “conspiracy theories” and the “nuts” that espouse them. In many cases, the theories are indeed unbalanced and not supported by evidence and/or rational thinking. But, conspiracies happen all the time, especially in the halls of power. The etymology of the word “conspire” means to “breathe together”. […]

If you haven’t heard of Brad Polumbo before, he is one of those rare birds — a “gay conservative”. Not as conservative as, say, Guy Benson.

No Such Thing As a “Diversity Hire”?

Posted by on December 23, 2023 at 2:40 pm

I was just reading Jonah Goldberg’s article “My Merit — Your Racism” and wanted to share this particular paragraph: “I dwell on this because it helps illustrate the heads-we-win-tails-you-lose nature of this whole topic. The country spends billions on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) strategies for hiring. Corporations, universities, unions, and major media organizations all […]

A Look at the “Transgender Empire”

Posted by on December 17, 2023 at 8:23 pm

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 […]
