Florida Supreme Court Case Could Affect Professionals’ Right to Free Speech

On June 4th the Florida Supreme Court will hear Oral Argument in a free speech case that could affect all attorneys and other professionals in the state and their basic right to free speech. The case involves Attorney Christopher W. Crowley, a former candidate for State Attorney in Florida’s 20th Circuit. Crowley was a target of a bar complaint, and the Florida Bar is trying to take away his legal license for political speech during a partisan Republican Primary race for State Attorney.

The Feminization of Victimhood

Recently, I watched a documentary on Larry Nassar. He was the team doctor for the U.S. Women’s national gymnastics team from 1996-2014. In January, 2018, Nassar was convicted of possessing child pornography and ten counts of sexual assault. He was sentenced to an astounding 100-235 years in prison.

Nassar had been accused of sexually assaulting at least 265 young girls. This was a real case of #MeToo Syndrome, as seemingly every girl he had coached eventually joined in, telling their own stories...

Kritarchy Is Taking Over America

Remember a year ago when the US BORDER WAS WIDE OPEN and vast numbers of immigrant-invaders were being helped into our country by the Democrats?  NO FEDERAL JUDGE ANYWHERE DID ANYTHING ABOUT THE TOTAL FAILURE OF THE DEMOCRATS TO DEFEND US BORDERS.

NOW THAT THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION IS TRYING TO SEND THE ILLEGALS BACK, THERE IS NO END OF JUDGES AT WORK PREVENTING THE EJECTION OF THOSE WHO ENTERED ILLEGALLY.

The executive branch, which had been rising in power since the George W. Bush/Dick Cheney r...

Recycling Old News Media Push for More War in Ukraine

Yesterday, during a lengthy interview, the German Chancellor Friedrich Merz mention the lifting of restrictions on western weapons used by Ukraine.

Media took that as a new revelation:

Merz says no more range limits for weapons supplied to Kyiv – DW, May 26Germany’s Merz backs Ukraine’s long-range missile strikes on Russia – FT, May 26Western allies lift Ukraine’s restrictions on long-range weapons, says Merz – Euronews, May 26

The End of Neoconservatism

In what can be called a victory speech over failed neoconservative foreign policy, President Donald Trump proclaimed the end of 30-some years of existing foreign policy in the Mideast. The ideology dragged the U.S. through pointless wars from Libya to Yemen is now dead.

At an investment conference in Riyadh, in a speech little-commented on by the mainstream media, Trump said, “In the end, the so-called nation builders wrecked far more nations than they built. And the interventionalists [sic] wer...

Jesus Called People Morons: The Sacred Insult That Could Save a Civilization

Have you ever had one of those jarring moments when the lyrics of a song you once jammed to as a kid suddenly hit you with grown-up clarity? Maybe it was hearing Free Bird and suddenly realizing the masses in your high school were swaying to a breakup anthem. Or perhaps at your kids’ Catholic athletic event it struck you that “if you’re into evil you’re a friend of mine” (AC/DC’s Hells Bells) might not be the best fire-up song (pun intended). One of my personal favorites was discovering the biti...

On the Gross Fiscal Negligence of the Washington GOP

The gross negligence of the Washington GOP with respect to its fundamental duty in the governance process of American democracy—to function as the Watchdog of the US Treasury—seems to know no bounds. Very simply, with current policies fixing to add $22 trillion of baseline deficits over the next decade on top of the $36 trillion of public debt already on the books, the only plausible ” One Big Beautiful Bill” (OBBB) for an honest conservative party would be a plan to slash the baseline deficits ...

Donald Trump’s Lack of Critical Thinking Skills with Respect to Russia and Ukraine

Donald Trump grabbed headlines on Monday with his Sunday outburst directed primarily at Russia’s Vladimir Putin. Here’s his rant:

I’ve always had a very good relationship with Vladimir Putin of Russia, but something has happened to him. He has gone absolutely CRAZY! He is needlessly killing a lot of people, and I’m not just talking about soldiers. Missiles and drones are being shot into Cities in Ukraine, for no reason whatsoever. I’ve always said that he wants ALL of Ukraine, not just a piece o...

The ‘AI Revolution’ May Take an Unexpected Turn into the ‘AI Coup’

It would be, well, interesting, if the “AI revolution” in which the slaves make the masters rich beyond their wildest dreams unexpectedly transmogrifies into an “AI coup” that deposes the masters.

Here’s the approved script for the “AI Revolution”: AI gets increasingly intelligent, replaces more and more human labor, and makes trillions of dollars for those who own the technologies and put them to work reducing their human workforces. The “revolution’s” key attribute is its immense profitability...

The American Pravda Sues the Trump Administration

In a recent executive order President Trump called for an end to taxpayer funding of NPR and “public” television (PBS), created by Congress in 1967 to laughingly create an “independent” news source.  Yes, they have always been independent of the free market and of the hapless American taxpayers, but certainly not independent of the deep state Washington establishment.  NPR has always been a government-subsidized propaganda organ.  If Americans want even more government propaganda thrown at them ...
