Seriously, Dude, what did you expect? Well, whatever, you now have a choice. Keep fighting a losing battle and damage your political prospects for 2028 or bow out graciously and become Trump’s biggest supporter. Stop looking at me like that! I told you NOT to run against Trump. Get mad at the idiots that egged you on, not me. Look, polls are crap, but they shouldn’t be double digits apart if you have any real chance. There shouldn’t be any … Continue reading “Dear Ron, Told You So!”
Banning Cows and Building Coal Fired Power Plants: Climate and World Political Leadership
People tend to act on what they believe. That shouldn’t be a controversial statement. This one might: people tend to act in accordance with what they believe to be true. That isn’t to say that people always act in perfect rational accord with their beliefs. First off, no one is perfectly rational. Second what seems a reasonable response to a belief to one person may be silly to another. However, on the whole, people will tend to act in accord … Continue reading “Banning Cows and Building Coal Fired Power Plants: Climate and World Political Leadership”
American Polarization is a Myth
I know, I know, the polls say otherwise. The polls are crap and have been for years. Just how many times do they have to get the easy things like elections wrong before you stop treating them as gospel? Yes, elections are easy. If you sample enough and correctly, more often than not you should correctly predict election outcomes. Once in a while it’ll go sideways but 99% of the time the polls will be close enough as to make … Continue reading “American Polarization is a Myth”
Hey, Ben and Jerry’s! Give Back the Land You Stole!
Virtue signaling is the stupidest thing since bell bottoms for men. But our leftist friends don’t seem to let that bother them so here we are. SIGH! Here’s a little bit of law school for ya – you cannot legally purchase stolen goods. If it was stolen, it remains the property of the person it was stolen from no matter how much you paid for it. There are all kinds of messy situations where it is very hard or impossible … Continue reading “Hey, Ben and Jerry’s! Give Back the Land You Stole!”
Any Movie CNN Hates Must be Great!
Sound of Freedom, an independent film, is currently in theaters. It was number one in box office sales up against Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny on that movie’s opening weekend. That’s a testament to how good the Sound of Freedom is and how awful Disney’s version of Indiana Jones is. AMC has been accused of turning off the AC in theaters where Sound of Freedom was being screened. AMC has denied suppressing the movie. That might be more … Continue reading “Any Movie CNN Hates Must be Great!”
In It To Win It
Yes, breaks the title rules but all small letters annoys me. I have a crazy idea. How about actually letting Ukraine win this thing? We keep – rightly – spending money to keep Ukraine in the fight, what about spending the money to let them win it? Before you guys even get started, I know what the Sunk Cost Fallacy is. This isn’t a fallacy. Sunk cost assumes that more money will not change the outcome in reality despite the … Continue reading “In It To Win It”
Make Sure it’s Dead, Jim!
Phasers on maximum! The problem we have as Americans is that we expect automation to work even when we apply the concept to things that shouldn’t be automated. Hint: self driving cars are not a great plan. Drone cars, however… Governing our overgrown, sassy and fat government is another of those things we shouldn’t automate but, boy, howdy, do we ever try! If the choice is Twitter or actually reading a whole newspaper article, well, half of you couldn’t find … Continue reading “Make Sure it’s Dead, Jim!”
Affirmative Reaction
WOO HOO!!!!! On June 29, 2023 in STUDENTS FOR FAIR ADMISSIONS, INC. v. PRESIDENT AND FELLOWS OF HARVARD COLLEGE the United States Supreme Court reset the game. The United States has changed. Affirmative Action has suffered a death blow. The country will never be the same. It will be better. Yes, I’m well aware the Court didn’t strike Affirmative Action down completely and there is much left to fight. But the monster’s legs have been cut out from beneath it. … Continue reading “Affirmative Reaction”
We Still Don’t Understand What Happened in Russia?
They had a mutiny. Probably. Didn’t we cover this already? Y’all do know real life isn’t resolved in an hour, right? It also doesn’t come with a reset button. Okay, okay, so it’s been a week and you’re thinking we’re supposed to actually know something by now. Modern media is not good for humans. That’s what we know. We know that because it’s silly to expect anyone to really know what is going on this early with so many people … Continue reading “We Still Don’t Understand What Happened in Russia?”
Russian Coup: Is It All Over Now?
Yes, no and maybe. I’m not being snarky. That’s the real answer right now. I know it’s not the answer you want but it’s the answer you need. I started this blog/podcast/video thing because I was seeing so many people in comment sections scared to death of nothing at all. Make no mistake, Boomers weren’t as well educated as we should have been but we came out a lot better off than the generations behind us. Millennials and Gen Z … Continue reading “Russian Coup: Is It All Over Now?”
