If the left really took itself seriously, or, to put it another way, the right was interested in engaging in the kind of silliness that is the left’s enterprise of choice, the following terms would have entered our vocabulary long ago.  Some of these terms have actually appeared, but because they militate against the left’s ideological vision and political agenda, they have gained very little traction. Others needed to be created. For the benefit of all right-wingers, I offer their own Politically Correct (Politically Incorrect?) speech code, chock-full of examples of micro-aggressions! I.CAUCASOPHOBIA/EUROPHOBIA: Throughout the contemporary world, particularly the Western … Continue reading →

“Having cut a deal with Democrats for help with the debt ceiling, will Trump seek a deal with Democrats on amnesty for the ‘Dreamers’ in return for funding for border security?” The answer to that question, raised in my column a week ago, is in. Last night, President Donald Trump cut a deal with “Chuck and Nancy” for amnesty for 800,000 recipients of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program who came here illegally as youngsters, in return for Democratic votes for more money for border security. According to preening Minority Leader Pelosi, the agreement contains not a dime for … Continue reading →

The team from the Great Maya Aquifer Project aim to discover if “local legends of an elaborate underworld are true.” Built more than 1,000 years ago, the ancient Mayan pyramid in Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula will be explored using a modified ground-penetrating radar (GPR) to locate passageways and rooms in El Castillo, also known as the Temple of Kukulcan.

How do steel and concrete turn into dust before our very eyes? Why don’t our brains acknowledge what we are seeing? Because of this: “This is not possible, by definition.” Seeing is not believing. Wild theories abound. None gets traction. Here is a wild theory. It is supported by impossible videos. The videos are real, however. Aye, there’s the rub! Time to buy old US gold coins Crashes to crashes, dust to dust. But crashes to dust? That’s a problem. There has to be a cogent explanation out there. There just has to be. This one cannot be correct, we are … Continue reading →

Whenever the government is rabidly enthusiastic about something you can be reasonably sure you shouldn’t be. Electric cars are being pushed for all kinds of reasons, none of them beneficial to us. If that weren’t the case, then it wouldn’t be necessary to push (mandate, subsidize) electric cars. They would be embraced as naturally – as freely – as a better smartphone or more-delicious (and cheaper) hamburger. Of course, it is necessary to push them. The why gets interesting. One of the reasons for the electric car push has to do with their very high cost. Which – if electric cars are to become mass-market cars – necessarily entails … Continue reading →
