Leave it to the Great Resetters to hold their meeting to resolve the self-described “climate crisis” in a city whose very existence is owed to the unearthing and continual burning of fossil fuels. What would Glasgow be, after all, without coal and oil and heavy industry and James Watt? I’ll tell you: it would be…

The State, both in its genesis and by its primary intention, is purely anti-social. It is not based on the idea of natural rights, but on the idea that the individual has no rights except those that the State may provisionally grant him. It has always made justice costly and difficult to access, and has…

Far too long in my life did I rest, ignorant of the wisdom of Hildegard von Bingen. The life of a mystic is both blessed and cursed, but it is a life of extremes. There’s nothing milquetoast or mild if God graces you with visions and insights that move your being, stretch your senses, delight…

There is a stark benefit to living today. It’s more clear than ever who constitute the evil, the malevolent, the Puritanical, and the mad. They are almost univocally in masks, lapping up any report from CNN, uncritically claiming ownership of the ‘science’, and unable to recognize that Australia is a totalitarian penal colony yet again.…

If there is one lesson from history that does repeat itself instead of just rhyme, it is that imperialism kills civilizations. It turns out, electing force instead of voluntary engagement is not just catastrophically expensive; it also carries with it enormous moral hazard for the perpetrators. This has been the core message of the great…

K-I-L-L-I-N-G. Boy is Pope Francis chummy with a woman who actively promotes and even finances (with her own money and ours) the murder of babies in the womb. And why should this shock us by any degree? I’m not saying that the Pope and his cadre of yes men are communing with the Devil, but…

Today, a comic genius died, and a fearless one at that. Norm Macdonald graced us–or more so–God graced us with him, and Norm worked with some seriously divinely inspired humor. He was undaunted in his pursuit to highlight the painfully obvious so as to make people laugh, because Norm seemed to know that if people…

Evoking decades past in which compromise saved the republic (1820, 1832, 1850), let’s go ahead with hastening the inevitable and propose that Texans get what Texans want, and Texas becomes an independent state once again. The glory days of 1836-1845. Impractical? Never going to happen? Think again. Listen to two recent podcasts from the Tom…

Totalitarianism, modern history has shown, usually comes in the form of charismatic leaders whose speeches were, at the very least, consistent and entertaining. I mean, no Nazi left the Nuremburg rallies in 1934 saying, “Well, that was uninspiring!” or “Meh.” No actual fascist departed from a Mussolini speech and turned to their fellow authoritarian and…

An informative and enlightening debate about not just the strengths and weaknesses of libertarianism, but, given Yaron Brook’s espousal of all things Ayn Rand, some insights on objectivism as well. It was a good debate in that it left me pondering questions for which I have no real clear answers. Those follow after my own…
