After 50 years in Government Joe Biden, much like his party, doesn’t have any new ideas. And so, Ole Joe got the band back together and now he’s dutifully playing all the old hits, massaging all the Leftist erogenous zones in the same way The Stones belt out a carefully curated list of the same… Continue reading The Revenge of the Buzzwords (Part 1: Conspicuous Consumption)

The Fatal Flaw in the “Weapons of War” argument
Gun Control does not sell well in America. Despite billions spent pushing it over decades and the enthusiastic cooperation of almost all of America’s most recognizable celebrities and musicians, not to mention aggressive support from Big Blue Tech, large majorities of Americans remain opposed to additional gun control laws.

Unfortunately I’m learning a lot about some pretty awful things the West did during that period, as well. Solzhenitsyn claims, and I have no reason to disbelieve him, that the… Continue reading We’re doing it again
