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 […]
“The state of medicine is an index of the civilization of an age and country — one of the best, perhaps, by which it can be judged.” — Oliver Wendell Holmes (1869) In the following excerpt from an Imprimis article by Dr. John Abramson, the author provides insights from both personal experience (as a medical […]
“Stakeholder capitalism poisons democracy, partisan politics poisons capitalism, and in the end we are left with neither capitalism nor democracy.” — Vivek Ramaswamy, Woke, Inc. As predicted, I have another lengthy quote for you from GOP primary candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, specifically citing his book Woke, Inc.. In this section from early in the book, Ramaswamy […]
“I wish my governor was 1/100th as ‘average’ as Ron!” — Twitter commenter I’ve never been blind to Trump’s shortcomings, but his recent attacks on Gov. Ron DeSantis are just sad and disappointing. Apparently, DeSantis was interviewed the other day by Piers Morgan, and Trump couldn’t help putting out a public statement in response, in […]

I don’t know where Whitlock, a sports journalist, originally shared his “letter” — e.g., on his podcast […]
Sure, we all know about the recent Chinese surveillance balloon that the Biden administration finally shot down after it had collected and relayed information from across our nation. And that there have been other violations of our sovereign airspace. And… well, tempted as I am, I’m not going to delve into that whole mishegoss. But, […]
“Did you know that it’s a lot harder for the government to arbitrarily cut off your access to power if you’re using gas as opposed to electric? Or is that really the point?” — Nick Freitas, Virginia state Delegate Some on the Left are trying to convince the American public that this whole we-want-to-outlaw-gas-stoves narrative […]
“[T]hey deny or downplay a mountain of misdeeds by Joe Biden, as they also did with Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, and Hillary Clinton.” — Jeff Davidson, columnist In a recent article, Jeff Davidson writes about the obvious Hollywood bias in the film She Said, about the New York Times investigation of Harvey Weinstein. The film […]
“2024 is the whole enchilada, and it is too important to play it by ear. We must be strategic, and we must select the candidate most likely to win in the general. That means assessing both good points and bad points. And we must undertake the process for Donald Trump as well as his number […]
