"One should either write ruthlessly what one believes to be the truth, or else shut up." — Arthur Koestler

‘Thou Shalt Not Bear False Witness Against Thy Neighbour’ (Exodus 12:16)

Not every day I quote the King James Bible in a headline, but it seems that some people don’t understand why the Ninth Commandment is so important that God felt the need to include it in the Top Ten. Making false accusations is both a sin and a crime, and it can also be a […]

An Odd Sequel to the Bubba/‘Brittni’ Saga

It’s been more than two years and most readers have probably forgotten the disturbing story of the late Fred “Bubba” Copeland: Copeland was the mayor of Smiths Station, a town of less than 7,000 people in Lee County, Alabama. He was also a freakazoid, secretly pursuing transgender fantasies that he posted online using a persona […]

‘He Was Mr. BLM’

Big hat-tip to Luke Rosiak of the Daily Wire for calling attention to a story I missed last year. Probably gonna write more about this later on my Substack, but it’s a big enough story I can give you the gist of it here and still have plenty left to chew on over there. Ten […]

Thoughts From a ‘Heritage American’

Perhaps you’re not on X (formerly known as Twitter) and therefore have been spared the quarrel over “Heritage Americans.” Don’t know who coined that term or in what context it originated, but it seems to be a critique of the “proposition nation” ideology that George Will did so much to promote.

If one were in a generous mood, it might be stipulated that Mamdani’s votes came largely from younger voters, who can be […]

This Is Joe. Don’t Be Like Joe.

Why do some fools get the idea that a traffic stop is a good time to hold an impromptu hearing about their constitutional rights? Joe got pulled over by a cop in Portage County, Wisconsin, and could have gotten off with a mere traffic ticket — or perhaps just a warning — but he was […]

Demonic Forces, Transgender Terrorism and Other ‘Random Coincidences’

You are here for a reason. There is a meaning and purpose to your life, even though this may not be apparent to you. God has a plan, and somehow you exist as part of that plan, because guess what? The odds against any single sperm fertilizing an egg are so astronomical that your life […]

Has #GamerGate 2.0 Begun? Bizarre Clash Over Sick Fetish Videogames Wrecks ‘Games Journalism’ Site Waypoint

Like the original #GamerGate, this is a complex story, involving (a) a feminist anti-porn censorship campaign, (b) online payment processors, (c) producers of videogames with content so disgusting I don’t want to describe it, and (d) the staff of a videogame review website associated with Vice Media. In case you didn’t realize it, Vice declared […]
