Is the Ayatollah Delusional?

History is filled with entire nations following leaders who were becoming increasingly delusional due to age or illness. The Iranian absolute ruler of today, Ali Khamenei, is now 85, and while he might be sharp as a tack, he could also be so deeply e...

Tim Walz vs. the truth

An "impulse" is a sudden, involuntary desire. A compulsion is a long-term, highly repetitive habit that can be pathological if it "does harm to self or others." "Impulsive" and "compulsive" are not th...

Shakespeare saw the malevolence behind Kamala’s and Tim’s manic laughs

Throughout Western history, myth creators, playwrights, and actors have understood the value of a real laugh and the danger of a fake one. When it comes to Kamala’s cackle and Tim’s manic laugh, we aren’t looking at joy; we’re...

Death fears of the Democrats

Nearly everyone is afraid of dying, and atheists may be more vulnerable than traditional people.  When we get older, the end of life can become something of an obsession, and despairing people can attribute their own fears to some popular s...

Who runs the American agitprop machine?

“First, conquer the organs of propaganda,” wrote Karl Marx, who was a genius mob agitator and nothing else.  Mob agitators were already a kind of specialty in Prussia, Poland, Russia, and Eastern Europe, but Marx wrote the instr...

The Democrats are Dixiecrats -- again

The Democrats who ran the segregationist South were called Dixiecrats. Anybody who knows that today has to be wondering "where have I seen these Democrats before?" Because the Dems are back to that old Dixiecrat song again, only...

Vivek's two duds

I like Vivek Ramaswamy very much, because he is bright and talented and has good ideas — except for two bad ideas, both having to do with small but formidable long-time U.S. allies, which would be Israel and Taiwan.  Vivek wants to du...

Lose Ukraine? Lose Poland, Germany, France?

Vladimir Putin is restoring the tsarist empire, in good part because Kievan Rus was the source of Muscovite Rus.  The Russian Orthodox Church traces its history to Kiev.  The Russian and Ukrainian languages are very similar, and o...

The pope versus the past

At the end of the movie Amadeus, Mozart is shown on his deathbed, frantically trying to complete his Requiem Mass, a work that may be more beloved around the world than ever before, three centuries later. "Requiem" means "may t...

Freud vs. wokism

Sigmund Freud was a lifelong conservative, but American conservatives tend to misunderstand that.  This misunderstanding robs us of a big weapon in the culture wars. If Freud were alive today, he would be an anti-woke warrior. Woke ideol...

A sex-addicted regime

Sex addicts live for their next kick, do it today for sure and right now if possible — and they always need bigger and bigger kicks. Medical people have long thought that the specific triggers for bigger kicks don't matter much. ...

Soros is a lifelong antisemite

George Soros is one of the strangest persons ever to achieve power and celebrity, in my opinion.  Because he is genetically Jewish, any public criticism of Soros is instantly followed by attack-dog howling by the leftist media, because Soro...

Biden is losing the Middle East

Joe Biden has been unbelievably wrong-headed and disastrous in his Middle East policy, so that the U.S. has now been excluded from the new hegemony, the Chinese-Russian-Saudi-Iranian "anti-Abraham Accords."  For the first time in ...

Biden hands the Middle East to China

While the United States has been hypnotized by our domestic battle of Biden versus Trump, China has made a major move in the Middle East. It has negotiated an alliance of convenience between those thousand-year enemies, the Saudis and Ir...

Is woke Marxism made in China?

The current period is very much like the Stalin period, when Moscow had enormous hidden power in the U.S. and Europe. Now Moscow is down, and Beijing is up. Why would they change the playbook? Marx: First, CONQUER THE ORGANS OF PROPAGAN...

The deadly word games that brought us 'Gain of Function'

Medical Science Flips on Fetal Pain. What Else Will Doctors Change Their Minds About?

In 2006 a landmark article, the British Medical Journal claimed that abortions without fetal anesthetic were okay before 26 weeks of gestation, because fetuses at five and a half months can't feel pain. That was the 2006 opinion of D...

The New York Times Discovers Jihad. Sort of.

"Why can't Iran be allowed to have its own nukes?" asked a good friend of mine. "It only seems fair." My friend is an intelligent person who has seen politics up close. And yet, such is the power of mass indoctrination, she doesn't know that Iran is...

Dangerous Times: Obama Bows to the Mullahs

It looks like the fix is in. The mullahs will certainly get their nukes and ICBMs, and neither Israel nor the Saudis (who are scared to death of the mullahs) will rely on American protection as long as Obama is in office. Obama just put out the welco...

Dangerous Times: The Crisis-Monger

Dangerous Times: Are Obama's Syrian Stumbles Good for America?

The Only Good Occupation...  Is getting a job. So you won't have to leech off Mom and Dad anymore. Is taking responsibility for your own neurotic hangups, and not blaming your gnawing feelings of inferiority on the most miraculous, creative, ...

The White House Goes Dr. Strangelove

Get outtaheah, yabum!  Get a job! That used to be the standard American answer to folks like the Occu-pishers of Wall Street.  If you've ever wondered what "enfant terrible" means, check out the pics of the Progs, heroically pooping on the...

I Forgive Herman Cain, the Only Conservative Left

Judge not, lest ye be judged. Not a bad rule of thumb. Being alive means making mistakes.  Growing up means understanding that fact, and taking responsibility.  Bad actors never take responsibility.  Barack Obama honestly believes he'...

Herman Cain and Human Goodness

I don't know about this guy Cain.  He doesn't act like the militant black heroes all the liberals love. I mean, he says he loves Jesus, he sings Gospel at the National Press Club, and he doesn't hate white folks.  What is he, some kind of w...

Cain Versus the Lynch Mob

Hi Tech Lynching is here again! Shades of Justice Clarence Thomas and Anita Hill. They're going to play the same sadistic power game they lost with Justice Thomas. Well, let 'em try, but now they are facing a revived conservative media. This is a tri...

The Parasite Left

A wonderful historian named William H. McNeill makes a powerful  case for the idea that humans are chewed on by two kinds of parasites: the little ones and the big ones.  Our little parasites go from hair lice and gut worms down to germs an...

How many eco-frauds can dance on a pin?

Cain is the Real Thing

Al Sharpton said the other day that Herman Cain is not a real African-American, a little slander that the nasty left took up with its usual sadistic glee.  But Herman Cain is one of the few real African-Americans in politics today.  Cain ha...

Captain America Abandons the Entire Middle East

I doubt that President Obama loves the name "Captain America," but that's the job he was elected to do in 2008.  National security is the president's first job.  But Obama has been by far the most catastrophic captain of the ship of state i...

Herman Cain and the Perfect Storm of 2012

In 2012 the world will see a perfect storm. This is one of those few times in history when a year of crisis is predictable. Short-term outlook: big ups and downs. Long-term outlook: much better. Why? 1. The Biggest Presidential Election of the 21st C...

No Springtime for Hitler at Columbia?

Israel, Liberalism, and Moral Cowardice

The President Who Wasn't There

We have a president named "Obama."  If you believe your media -- (hah!) -- he is a kind of Űbermensch, a more-than-human giant intellect.  Or, as one addled dork said two years ago, Obama must be A Light Bringer.  That's why the Norweg...

Euro-killer ripped off peaceful Euro-critic

Are Jews Permitted to Doubt The New York Times?

Courage comes in many forms. But the rarest form of courage, it seems to me, is for a true addict to give up his (or her) New York Times. That seems to go double or triple for the NYT's Jewish readers, who cling to its daily prophetic utterances with...

The Middle East is now sliding toward war, with potentially devastating ripple effects far beyond the region. Obama may not want it, but he has made war a near certainty by making the United States look like "the weaker horse" in a very tou...

Obama's Wascally Wabbit Habit

What do you call it when somebody is so stuck on some idea that he keeps pursuing it regardless of the results? Obama's first two humongous economic stimulus plans failed, as his own economic advisor Christina Romer just admitted. Obama's brand new b...

Fascism as Sadism

In his book  Liberal Fascism, Jonah Goldberg defines "fascism" as an economic and political system. There's nothing wrong with that, but it misses a vital truth about Mussolini, Hitler, Tojo, Saddam Hussein, and Ahmadinejad: the politi...

Apologia for the Left

In the spirit of Obama the Apologist, I have to tell you how sorry I am. But not for myself, because I'm not responsible for anything. Just like Obama, I get to pin my apology on other people. That might not be your idea of saying "I'm sorry,...

Some New Yorkers literally did drop dead nine years ago, because they chose to end their lives by falling from the top floors of the World Trade Towers rather than wait for the inferno to kill them by burning and asphyxiation. President Obama's Frida...

Obama Is Colluding with a New Fascist Imperialism

Nothing is more like the fascist Axis of the 1930s than Islamist expansionism today. Like the Hitler-Tojo-Mussolini Axis of the 1930s, Islamic fascists are fundamentally imperialistic, with an explicit order from on High to subjugate civilized people...

Brits defend their much-criticized nationalized health care

Science slows global warming!

Yes, kids, science is a wonderful thing. But not nearly as wonderful as climate modeling, which can perform supernatural miracles. Honest! Climate modeling can raise the level of the oceans (even without Obama's intervention), it can burn up the plan...

The Obamababble Showman plays Ronald Reagan

Obama's Temple of Illusion (updated)

Why the faux Greek Temple at Obama's mass rally at the Invesco Park, you ask? Actually, it's probably not his God Complex. It's just the basic stagecraft of visual illusion. If you want an actor on stage to look tall, put him in a short frame. It's s...

Baker Commish gives Dems cover for sanity

The critics are right about the flaws of the Baker Report, but  none of that really matters. The reason is that the Report's flapdoodle serves as cover for both Republicans and Democrats --- at least those who aren't yet kidnapped by Moveon.org....

Anti-Semitism, anti-Americanism and Irrational Hatred

James Baker is now quoted as having said during the Bush I administration, "F... the Jews, they don't vote for us anyway." It's quite likely that Baker said that; it's standard Washington trash talk. A year ago, Dick Cheney shocked the Belt...

The Moral Emptiness of the Left

Life consists of choices, and no choice is graver than war or peace. The 9/11 assault on New York City and Washington, D.C. posed such a choice. Should we go to war against bin Laden and the Taliban? The answer had to be "Yes" or "No." Those who deny...
