We are experiencing historic levels of villainy, mendacity, violence, and terror from the likes of Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin, Xi Jinping, and [ inaudible muttering ] – You know, both sides! www.nytimes.com/2026/01/09/o...

It’s 2026, and I *still* think there’s 2 types of people in the world: church-going libertarians (aka “conservatives”) and atheistic libertines (“liberals”).

If I may borrow and adapt a popular idiom from the Generation Z lexicon: Predators gonna predate.

If there’s a difference between racists and antiracists, communists and capitalists, liars and critical theorists, trolls and activists, idiots and philosophers, well, I can’t see it.

Shame on the Democrats for talking about kitchen table issues when they should be protecting democracy by criticizing themselves.

If you watch some very specific highlights from the Kirk memorial, you can begin to believe in a kind of Christian Nationalism that isn't just racism, vengeance, and psychopathy

I am now prepared to endorse Barack Obama for President in the 2008 Presidential Election

People (*cough* Mamdani) who want to help poor people get food and medicine are amoral, and probably immoral.

I found 5 randos on the internet, and they confirm my theory that people are selfish.

I know that universities are not overrun by woke postmodern orthodoxy (whatever that is), but if some nihilistic liars claim they are then we really have no choice but to believe them.

I challenged myself to write an essay explaining the evils of capitalism without mentioning capitalism.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: people happy with the way things are going tend to be more conservative; people unhappy about it tend to want change.

Here's 5 ways in which the current US president is a Grade A jerk; my current wife (and former student) is much better and you should read her work.

If a candidate ran on hope, I would definitely vote for them. (A previous version of this columnist criticized candidates for running hope. I regret the error.)

I preferred it when people like me who know how to appreciate Fine Art were recognized as a Cultural Elite and got the attention and admiration they deserve.

Bibi and Trump are morally bankrupt barbarians. But I do at least admire their willingness to drop bombs on people in order to defend America’s God given right to drop bombs on people.

Democrats won’t be successful unless they can tell a narrative that appeals to everybody, not just select demographics. I really hope they can do it. Note: if the narrative talks about economic inequality, I won’t vote for it.
