‘That Wretched Woman’

This was certainly not the only ghoulish hate expressed by the Left after the death of Queen Elizabeth II, but is perhaps the most interesting. What “genocide” was Uju Anya blaming on Her Majesty? This was the Nigerian Civil War of 1967-70, when the southwestern part of the country sought to secede as “Biafra.” The […]

Rule 5 Sunday: IJN Musashi

— compiled by Wombat-socho In Western culture, women are objectified; in Japanese culture, objects are feminized. – Anonymous And so we get games like Girls Frontline (pistols, rifles, and other guns drawn as feminine combat robots) and Azur Lane, in which shipgirls modeled on World War 2 warships fight each other and the alien Sirens.

‘Fake News’ Media: Lying by Omission

A national disgrace: The arrest of a Democratic public official in Las Vegas for allegedly murdering a journalist shocked the nation, but news networks went out of their way to bury his party affiliation. Clark County Public Administrator Robert Telles was arrested on Wednesday in connection with the death of Las Vegas Review-Journal investigative reporter […]

FMJRA 2.0: Let The Robot Do The Suffering

The other four games were the usual frustrating combination of blowouts and games that looked close on paper but really weren’t. […]

Now, it seems confirmed that advance elements […]

About the ‘Rings of Power’

There is nothing I despise more than journalistic bandwagons, where everybody is writing about the same thing. Nearly all the greatest pleasures of my career came from going out alone in pursuit of stories that nobody else was covering. Like, in early 2011, I was the only national reporter covering Herman Cain’s campaign, and I […]

Ukraine: Better Late Than Never

(Click to see full-size map.) Four months ago, after a Ukrainian counteroffensive drove the Russian invaders back from Kharkiv, I described how this had moved the Ukrainian front line “roughly 45 miles from Kupiansk, a crossroads on the supply line of the Russian forces at Izyum.” At the time, it appeared the Ukrainian advance might […]
