We have seen protests across America claiming that America is a nation guilty of systemic racism. No one seems much interest in presenting evidence of this. After more than 40 years of laws explicitly prohibiting racial discrimination, we continue to see charges of widespread racism. But is this true? What evidence is there for this? …
Total white out
Are all environmentalists misanthropic, homicidal maniacs? There have been more than a few eco-terrorists who have killed and terrorized. Ted Kaczynski, the Unabomber, is one such example. But you would right is saying that such a suggestion is insane. The US has a population of 330 million people. With a population that large, you are …
Shooting the bull
Progressives are outraged by the recent rash of shootings. Outrage is absolutely the right response. Violence is never, ever a good thing. Senseless violence of the type we saw last weekend is particularly outrageous, and it deserves our scorn. But the target of the outrage isn't the shooters. Nor is the target of outrage the …
Marx is rolling in his grave

What Mr. Marx couldn't foresee was that it would be his progressive brethren who would supply the political cover and policies for creating that reserve army of labor.

Can this possibly be turned around, or will things continue to get progressively (no pun intended) worse. There have always been fringe elements and intemperate people who do not know …

US corporations seem to be in a contest to determine which of them is most woke. Have you ever wondered why? There is no need to traffic in conspiracy theories to understand this behavior; it is both rational and predictable. Russian revolutionary Vladimir Lenin understood capitalism better than most conservative social commentators when he observed …
Playing with matches around straw men
There is no such thing as an illegal human.Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand on MSNBC making an 'argument' against stopping migrants from entering the country. Progressives love to shoot down ideas and destroy arguments no one is making. For example, we are aware of no one who has made the argument that there are certain people who …
Ballot harvesting
There is little opportunity for urban-dwelling progressives to engage in horticultural activity. To compensate for this, each fall, at election time, many of them harvest ballots. Politics is a quasi-religion for progressives and voting is like a sacrament to them. Hence their get-out-the-vote crusades. They are especially keen to make casting a ballot as easy …
