SCOTUS decision on gun rights is the proverbial ‘camel’s nose’

Editor’s note: This piece includes some satire. The recent SCOTUS decision in United States v. Rahimi, which allows for the ban of certain firearms and limited magazine capacities in certain jurisdictions, allows leftists to take a victory l...

Is Jill Biden aspiring to be ‘Gucci’ Grace Mugabe?

Throughout the course of human history, political affairs have been governed by the “strike while the iron is hot” adage, and weakness, incompetence, or a “perfect storm” of illness, distraction, confusion or diminishing menta...

Could the reactivation of FISA’s warrantless searches eventually be used to police thought crimes?

The Republican House had unceremoniously sent forward a bill that would reauthorize Section 702, a highly-controversial provision of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), but yesterday, over a little too much negative press, they tem...

Neuralink has arrived

In October of last year, when I satirically wrote “Coming Soon To A Brain Near You” I anticipated that it would be a few years before Elon Musk’s dream-baby would actually be born. In the past four days, there have been hundreds ...

Coming soon...to a brain near you!

What began as truly magnificent, scientific, bio-mechanical research to help spinal cord injuries heal has reached the human testing phase. On the one hand, this is almost miraculous. On the other hand, it has very worrisome implications. And yes, if...

Federal government can't seem to get out of bed with China

When it comes to the theft of intellectual property, some argue that the U.S. is its own worst enemy.  Rather than being an unwitting casualty, the U.S. either squanders or surrenders its technical advantages. In a recent example, as...

Whether it’s legislative bills about guns or other things, California has lost the plot

Whenever existing gun laws fail to stop a mass shooter, Democrats go mad enacting other laws that will constrain legal gun-owners while almost certainly doing nothing to stop the daily gun crime that plagues America's Democrat-run cities or the p...

Guns are useful tools, and the facts prove it

Contrary to shilled up "popular opinion" by CNN, ABC, and PMSNBC, not everyone in California, the USA, North America, the world, or the Milky Way Galaxy believes that blaming the NRA or banning all firearms, ice picks, and knives will make ...

Will Senate Bill 1331 limit itself to stopping drunk drivers?

Is Senate Bill 1331 the path to virtually unlimited power for the Biden Department of Transportation headed by arch-leftist Pete Buttigieg? The bill, entitled “Reduce Impaired Driving for Everyone Act of 2021” (i.e., the RIDE Act of 2021)...

Are dairy products generating juvenile crime?

At first glance, it seems bizarre, even satirical, to suggest that milk products have negative behavioral consequences.  But a substantial body of literature makes that case. Bureaucrats are quick to blame the surge in violent crime on i...

Ghost guns, construction tools, and even rocks

President Biden's "Ghost Gun" and "necessary executive action" announcement made great headlines and tugged at the heartstrings, but I'm not sure if it will help reduce crime or increase his poll numbers. Using definiti...

It’s Time To Stop Terrorizing Our Children

If you are a male or a female (or know someone who is) and have been sleeping too soundly lately, type “billions of children facing climate shock” into Google and you will discover dozens of articles from last week warning that almost hal...

What if anti-vaxxers decide to 'identify' as being inoculated?

The recent Bruce Springsteen concert celebrates the return to post-COVID normalcy...for some.  Everyone attending this event was required to show proof of vaccination, which raises some uncomfortable "what if" questions. W...

Progressives and the threat of 3D printers

-SATIRE- Years ago, the first printers were dot-matrix monsters that sounded like a machine gun and ate boxes of form-fed paper. Later came inkjet, thermal, laser, multi-purpose printers, all-in-one copiers, scanners and FAX machines. These amazin...

The Wuhan virus: Did we get what we paid for?

I read this story in the U.K. Daily Mail (May 2020) and thought it was an exaggeration, too bizarre to be believed...purely tabloid material. REVEALED: U.S. government gave $3.7million grant to Wuhan lab at center of coronavirus l...

Warp Speed vaccines? You go first.

Who doesn't crave magic-bullet solutions? In the 1940s, tooth decay in children triggered the quest for a magic bullet.  Dentists around the world unanimously agreed that public water fluoridation was the least inexpensive and most e...

Could World Food Progam Evolve Into Morton's Fork?

The recent success of U.N. fundraising from private donors has helped save the bankrupt World Food Program (WFP), aka "food stamps" from America.  Unfortunately, this success may result in higher taxes for everyone.  Bureaucrat...
