FMJRA 2.0: On Your Feet Or On Your Knees

— compiled by Wombat-socho Most live albums are a waste of time and money, but one of the awesome exceptions is the first live album by Blue Öyster Cult, which I bought before seeing them in concert with four other bands at the now-demolished Capital Center because the cover art was just that cool. I […]

Vince Dao Wrecks Liberals by — Wait for It — Denying Genetic Determinism

Vince Dao is a young Christian conservative college student in Florida who has a YouTube channel. He somehow got invited onto a panel discussion by Vice in which the subject was anti-Asian bias and the “model minority” stereotype.

James Baker’s Amnesia Problem

My podcast partner John Hoge calls attention to the Nixonian quality of the FBI-turned-Twitter-lawyer’s testimony this week: Rep. Jim Jordan asked James Baker, the former FBI general counsel who moved to work at Twitter, whether he communicated with the FBI about the Hunter Biden laptop story before the New York Post was censored on Twitter […]

Don’t Bet on the Super Bowl

Gambling is a bad habit, and I hate to see TV advertisements for gambling apps like Draft Kings, which portray this habit as harmless.

Brain-Damaged Democrats in the News

Some readers may have forgotten that, when Donald Trump was president, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez had a habit of ranting about the importance of impeaching him for — wait for it — alleged obstruction of justice in regard to the investigation of “Russian collusion.” As everyone with a functional brain has long since realized, there never was […]
