Trolling All Pentagon Hacks

  We are a week or so out from Veterans’ Day and, as too altogether convenient timing would have it, the United States Department of Defense just announced that–to the shock of no one–it has failed its seventh straight audit.

“IT’S NOT OUR FAULT! BLAME TIKTOK!”

How could I expect anything but an admixture of nausea and frustration? Unfortunately, it…

Film Review: Fatima (2020)

It must be admitted–albeit reluctantly–that film is an elusive media for the things I hold most dear; namely, Catholicism and the liberty movement. Catholic faith-based films, often in spite of some sizable budgets, come off as overly saccharine, inauthentic and corny. Liberty themed films usually meet the same fate.
