Today I let go of a friend. Not because we disagreed — disagreement is the cost of freedom — but because when the moment came to choose between anger and purpose, he chose anger. He had shared a story: a gay father standing before a school board, pleading for the protection of children from premature […]
In the interest of understanding the evolution of internal state security forces, it is worth stepping back to examine the structure and methods of one of the most effective and feared domestic policing agencies of the 20th century: the Geheime Staatspolizei, more commonly known as the Gestapo. Though frequently invoked in discussions of totalitarian excess, […]
Greg Gutfeld, that smug court jester of cable fascism, recently posed a question he thought was clever: “Is there any dirtbag Democrats won’t defend?” Let me answer that for you, Greg. No. While I am not a Democrat, I defend every dirtbag on earth if it means defending them from tyranny. If a Democrat wants […]
It happens every time someone posts about injustice, corruption, or authoritarian overreach: Some half-awake contrarian rolls into the comments and drops the laziest, most cowardly phrase in the modern playbook: “Get a life.” It’s the digital equivalent of a shrug and a smirk—designed to silence, to belittle, to imply that caring too much is the […]

The five words our beloved very stable genius, President Donald J. Trump, crushed with godlike precision in his latest Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) triumph were […]
Let’s stop pretending. Let’s stop picking sides like we’re at a high school football game and not standing waist-deep in a rotting democracy. You don’t get points for rooting for the team that’s slightly less on fire. You don’t win a trophy for choosing which narcissist gets to wear the crown while the empire collapses […]
Let us all take a moment—hats off, hand over heart—to thank President Donald J. Trump, our glorious deal-maker-in-chief, for once again saving us from the horrors of rational economic policy. Today, in an act of pure genius that only a fourth-dimensional chessmaster like Trump could conjure, he heroically reversed course on all his disastrous tariffs… […]
History won’t be kind to the Biden administration—and not because of its policies or partisan squabbles, but because of the lie that sat grinning in the Oval Office while democracy staggered behind the curtain. For years, we were told President Joe Biden was “fine.” He was sharp. Functional. Engaged. “Better than the alternative.” What we […]
