California’s delay of its planned “Ethnic Studies” public school curriculum is allowing certain ethnic minorities to rise up in anger over how their subset of the population is depicted in the tax-funded “learning” plan. And while their criticisms are worth lengthy discussion, once more, as so often occurs when people bark at each other over government-run systems, many folks are missing the…
Befitting Gilligan, The Skipper, and the passengers of the ill-fated “S.S. Minnow” from Gilligan’s Island, a group of “Climate Tourists” and a “documentary film team” just got captured by… yeah, you got it, ice.
According to Erofey Schkvarkin, of Maritime.net, the mighty Swedish vessel MS Malmo and its sixteen passengers got stuck on September 3, and required carbon-spewing helicopters to air-…
I always look orange. And so do you. The light is the worst.
So said Donald Trump at a GOP gathering in Baltimore last week.
Trump was referring to the so-called “energy efficient” bulbs that his Administration has graciously “allowed” Americans to avoid by lifting a set of “energy efficiency regulations” on bulbs that would have gone into effect in January.
And Trump’s context shows that…
Act Five, Scene Five, of William Shakespeare’s “Richard II” famously sees the eponymous protagonist locked in a tower, lamenting the fact that he did not act to stem the tide of woe that has taken his kingdom, expressing his frustration by saying:
I wasted time, and now time doth waste me.
And such it could be for those of us who cherish liberty for ourselves, our neighbors and our…
In the ever-expanding mental void of “hate crime” legislation, Finnish mind-control appears to be one of the big black holes.
“Hate crime,” the rarely-questioned, nearly redundant term which sees violent crimes punished more harshly if politicians claim the accused was motivated by “hate” (however they want to define it), where the very use of the term “hate” presses upon the public a sense of…
One of the first things instructors in the field of economics stress to students is that the goal of a productive economy is not to create “work” per se. If simple employment were the goal of market transactions, we could destroy every innovation ever created in history and employ everyone. Forget how useful the wheel is, we can employ up to four people or more to carry a litter or royal sedan…
Pink Floyd could supply the soundtrack on this.
The “education” system of Lewes Priory School, in East Sussex, England, just shut the gates on girls who arrived in their old school skirts. And what good top-down, authoritarian, one-size-fits-all government “education” system wouldn’t? After all, the “policy-makers” told everyone that they could only wear “gender-neutral” uniforms, skirts are…
The saying, “You can’t make this stuff up” is insufficient.
That crusader against the right to keep and bear arms, David Hogg, recently appeared on MSNBC with the sycophantic Chris Hayes to claim that “white supremacy” was one of the big reasons many Americans won’t agree to infringing on their neighbor’s right to self-defense.
I think it comes down to reckoning with our history, and our…
Remember the halcyon days of early 2019, when pop media dinosaurs like the Washington Post shamelessly reported, and other media darlings like Vox recklessly parroted, a claim that political rallies put on by, or in support of, Donald Trump were correlated to spikes in so-called “hate crimes” in those counties?
So sad. Like fever dreams, those days are gone, but don’t expect any of those…

The seeming incapacity of San Francisco politicians to get their acts together, clean up the city, stop small businesses from fleeing, and, possibly, recognize the sanctity of individual rights has led to the metropolis being the butt of numerous jokes. But it hasn’t been funny for a long, long time, and now, it’s gotten even more serious.
As if taking cues from…
