“While the line of questions posed by the conservative members of the Court were encouraging, a lot can happen in the next few months to alter opinions. I do not believe this current administration will tolerate any decision in the case that favors the pro-life side, especially if it undermines Roe.” — Troy Newman, President […]
A couple weeks ago, I cited a section of The Authoritarian Moment by Ben Shapiro, in which he gave an account of how the Left has gradually suppressed most Americans’ speech via things like the Cordiality Principle and “microaggressions”. In the next section (which I cite below), Shapiro described how a relatively small, radical minority […]
Some years ago, I had a lengthy email exchange with an old friend, one who was now very much on the left side of the cultural and socio-political aisle. At one point, he said or implied that some position I held (or implicitly supported, based on someone I quoted) was “not nice”. Having already established […]
This is a slightly belated Thanksgiving post, but… it’s still the Thanksgiving Weekend, right? This year, I would like to take note of three things I am truly thankful for. Well, I guess I should say they are classes or categories of things. First, I want to acknowledge the U.S. military, intelligence services, and law […]
“My issue had nothing to do with homophobia or anything against LGBTQ.

Following up on last week’s post, I have another citation of Mark Morgan from the Imprimis article adapted from a lecture he gave this past July. The selection in particular follows Morgan’s discussion of President Trump’s effective border security policies. Informative? Yes. But, unless you are a Biden apologist, you will also find your blood-pressure […]
Let me begin by giving you three quotes, and you try to guess who said them. Ready? 1) “We simply cannot allow people to pour into the United States undetected, undocumented, unchecked, and circumventing the line of people who are waiting patiently, diligently, and lawfully to become immigrants in this country.” 2) “Let me tell […]
“[Z]ero cases actually means zero jobs. It means zero hope. It actually means zero freedom at the end of the day because you’re not getting on with life.” — Evan Mulholland, director of communications at the Institute of Public Affairs in Australia As a result of fears over the spread of COVID-19, Australia has instituted […]
The Biden administration appears to be weary of being reminded of how badly the current border crisis has gotten and that they don’t have any answers.
