I suffered through Joe Biden’s first State of the Union so you didn’t have to. It wasn’t a malaise speech. It also wasn’t a good speech. Anyone watching the event should have been thinking about the 25th Amendment. Biden is clearly not mentally fit for the job. It’s bordering on elder abuse. But Joe always wanted to be President, so here we are. If you …more
Joe Biden is getting ready to make his first State of the Union address tomorrow night. Things couldn’t be going worse for the Democrats. War, inflation, and a healthy resistance to their stupid policies are driving the administration into the ground. Good. Not that Biden is much worse than just about any other president in the twentieth century, but he ran on a promise to …more
With all the news about Russia and the Ukraine, people have briefly forgotten about the authoritarian tactics being used against peaceful protestors to our north. They won’t once the convoy makes it to Washington D.C. Of course, establishment conservatives hope that it doesn’t show up with any Confederate flags. One man showed up at a rally in Canada with one and was quickly escorted out …more
Ken Burns has become the most recognized American “historian” in the world. Documentaries can have that impact. In fact, two thirds of American adults get their history from documentaries. Books finish far down the list. This has several implications for the future of American history. First, Americans in the visual age are duped by the leftist drivel they get from mainstream history sources, including books, …more
“Presidents Day” is here again. Time to grab a sofa or some other piece of furniture and reflect on the blessings of the imperial presidency. Or not. Of course, “Presidents Day” does not officially exist, though some States have adopted that language. It makes it easy to lump all of the criminals into one batch and impeach the lot. Many people have asked me who …more
The Neil Young vs. Joe Rogan dust up is just another example in a long line of Yankee stupidity in American history. No one really cares about Neil Young, but Young is the personification of the secular Puritan: my “city upon a hill” is being threatened by your words, so they must go. Kenneth LaFave chalked this up to one of the baby boomer brats …more
D list celebrity Ron Perlman thinks its time for a divorce. The actor recently had the epiphany that perhaps separation would be better than forcing other people to bend to his will. This is the man who has consistently and viciously attacked anyone on the right on social media as being a Nazi or some other slogan or platitude he learned on Twitter. Perlman is …more
My slogan “Think locally, act locally” has inspired a lot of people to get active in local government. That’s great, but some have figured out that the federal Leviathan has its teeth in just about every level of American society. That makes it difficult to break free from Washington D.C. But what if the solution was as simple as saying, “No.” I don’t mean refusing …more
Did the British cause the War for Southern Independence? Richard Poe at LewRockwell.com has argued yes. In a thought provoking piece, Poe details how years of British interest in Southern raw materials fostered Southern dependence on foreign markets. This argument is not new. Poe is viewing the War from a macro rather than micro perspective and doing so inevitably leads to economic determinism. I can …more
Yesterday I covered James Fenimore Cooper’s discussion “On Equality.” This is a devastating chapter for the woke minions running American society. If more people read it, they would walk away with a different understanding of the term. The same can be said for the next chapter in the book, “On American Equality,” an “equally” devastating critique of the misuse and distortion of the term by …more
Most Americans recognize a few of the Founding Fathers—Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Hamilton, Adams, Franklin—but what about some of the important but forgotten men who have been lost to time? They have great stories that need to be told. Here are ten whose fantastic lives are in many ways better than fiction.
