Last week’s Blue Tsunami drove home the fact that affordability is now the central public issue of our time, if this wasn’t clear already. A small-scale civil war has broken out among conservatives over the war on Iran, in which pundits like Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly and Mark Steyn are squaring off against “neocons” such as Mark Levin about the administration’s decision to rain hell upon the Iranian regime, this effort now receiving the blame for the historical midterm shellacking. Even Vice President JD Vance put his weight behind this argument. The truth, I’m afraid, is much more banal: The problem voters have with the war is that it drove up gas prices, and nothing else. Which isn’t to say we should dismiss out of hand the public’s beef with it — and surely there are legitimate arguments to be made against it.

Yes, I enjoy watching soccer — go ahead and shoot me. But now that both Team USA and the Netherlands have been eliminated from the World Cup and I have lost all interest in said tournament, it’s time for some cultural reflections instead.

Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned — or a progressive suffering from TDS.

As the Left’s gaslighting campaign over what motivated Charlie Kirk’s murderer was still in full swing, yet another politically-motivated shooting shocked the country. It’s time we faced reality about how young men are being raised these days.
Continue readingCan the Left Be Redeemed After Charlie Kirk’s Murder?
I got into an argument with a random person on X (where I lately spend too much of my time, I regret to admit) after having the audacity to “partly agree” with Glenn Greenwald’s take on the awful murder of Charlie Kirk. I did point out in my reply that Greenwald’s equating the Right and Left doesn’t quite pass muster — but the word “partly” set off my hot-headed interlocutor regardless.

I’m too lazy to write a proper post today after a long week of work, tweeting, and paying way more attention to the elections than was good for my mental health. I’ll have more to say about Tuesday’s elections in the next coming weeks. Instead, allow me to embed and quote my tweet regarding a different piece of news, being that Jews were being targeted and beaten up by Muslim immigrants in Amsterdam last night.
My Case For Trump
A while back, some anonymous troll on X attempted to “roast” me for writing on January 7, 2021 that “Donald Trump has every right to be bitter and resentful.” He lifted a screenshot with those words from this piece and argued that, therefore, “your opinion has no value.” It’s a peculiar person indeed who distills this single sentence from a 1,200-word article absolutely scathing Trump for his actions the day before. Bad actors will never cease cherry-picking their way through our writings.
Continue readingLet’s Cut Spending And Start Paying Down Our Debt
You know we live in wretched times when during the entirety of the current presidential election cycle our national debt, which is after all approaching 36 trillion dollars as of this writing, gets nary a mention from the two candidates vying for the job. The media, too, seem wholly disinterested.

I dislike imprecise analogies. But there’s something profoundly disturbing about the Kamala Harris presidential candidacy.

While the U.S. is gearing up for the final stretch towards Election Day, a terrorist incident in the Netherlands last week underscored the need for a serious reduction of mass immigration on both sides of the Atlantic. In yet another of the now infamous “lone wolf” knife attacks haunting the Old Continent, a 22-year-old man started stabbing random people with two large knives shortly after 8PM on Thursday, killing one and wounding another. As is the norm these days, the media, and the Dutch public at large, just shrugged their shoulders and moved on.
Continue readingAbout Cats, Dogs, Ducks, and Haitians
Trump clearly underperformed in this week’s debate, a view already expressed by yours truly on X during the event. That said, one topic in particular stood out as the sole exception, and that’s the issue of Trump accusing Haitian migrants in Springfield, Ohio of eating the locals’ pets there.
Continue readingRenewal
It’s time to revive this blog again after three years of inactivity. A lot has happened, and I’d wager much of it already predicted, or at least hinted at, right here. Riots in the United Kingdom, Israel’s own ‘9/11’ on 10/7, the contemptible antisemitic protests throughout much of the West in 10/7’s wake, the implosion of the Biden presidency and resurrection of Donald Trump, and too much to mention. Where will I even start?
I’ll be posting more shortly.
