The Nine-Month IV Drip Nobody Told You About — And Why Lindsay Clancy Needs Your Prayers

by

Today you get the other two things I am, the medic and the science teacher, and I need you to set the pitchfork down for about ten minutes. Because I am going to walk you through some neuroendocrinology first, and only then tell you what it has to do with three dead children in Duxbury, Massachusetts.

Hillbilly Elegance: Barbara Walters did Dolly Parton a big favor that people in the 21st century just don’t understand

by

Dolly Parton’s death brought out the best in people. The Royal Family posted a video of a royal band of some sort playing 9 to 5 in tribute. The tweet said, “Remembering the late, great Dolly, who brought joy, comfort and inspiration to so many—including the millions of children given free books through her Imagination Library. We will always ❤️ you.”

Arab Slaves: The History Textbook Forgot This Chapter

by

Most Americans learned about the Atlantic slave trade—and rightly so—but human slavery has a much longer, darker, and considerably less convenient history. Across centuries, African captives were transported through vast Middle Eastern and Islamic slave networks, and most males were even castrated and sold as eunuchs. It’s a chapter that complicates the tidy heroes-and-villains version of history. Slavery wasn’t the invention of one race, religion, or civilization. It was a human disease—and if we’re going to learn from history, we should have the courage to teach the whole ugly story.

It’s an escalation of the president’s trade war with Canada amid the war in Iran, and growing concerns over rising prices in the U.S.

California’s Stop Nick Shirley Act Aims to Outlaw Fraud Investigations by the Press

"Stop Nick Shirley Act" Will Protect Foreign Nationals, NGOs Who Steal Tax Money

I don’t know many journalists who have been so effective at uncovering government fraud that lawmakers in one state are going to extraordinary lengths to pass a new law that would essentially criminalize investigative journalism and make it illegal to investigate fraud there. Then there’s Nick Shirley

Facebook Jail: We Did Our Time—Now History Is Doing the Talking

by

Remember when asking the wrong question could earn you a 30-day sentence in Facebook Jail? Millions of posts disappeared, accounts were suspended, and countless users earned their digital “street cred” for challenging the Official Truth™ of the day. Then, as the science evolved, some forbidden topics quietly became acceptable discussion. This isn’t just a look back at the COVID years—it’s a satirical reminder that when a handful of powerful platforms decide what’s permissible to say, every free society should ask the same uncomfortable question: **Who decides what the truth is tomorrow?**

Sometimes you just have to be an [insert slang term for the anus here] to do things right

Immigration

My good friend and sometime blog pinch hitter William Teach noted the Associated Press story, “ICE arrests jumped to nearly 50,000 in July, the highest monthly total of Trump’s second term.” That’s great, but let’s do the math. 50,000 arrests, and hopefully deportations, times 12 equals just 600,000 per year. In the 30 months remaining …

A story the media won’t cover

Pravda reported, “Ex-deputy head of Zelensky’s office remanded in custody with bail set at $447,000.”

AP reported nada. In fact, Grok said in the wee hours of this morning, “No major US news outlets appear to have reported on the arrest (or court-ordered pre-trial detention) of Irina Mudra as of August 26, 2026.”

So I am stuck relying on Russian propagandists for information. Isn’t that swell?

When Murderers Get Fan Clubs: America’s Moral Compass Is Broken

by

America has always had criminals. What’s new is the fan club. From cheering an accused CEO killer to rallying around a mother who killed her three children, we’re watching sympathy, grievance, and tribal identity compete with basic moral judgment. When the first question becomes “Whose side am I on?” instead of “What is right and what is wrong?” a nation has a serious problem. Isaiah warned about calling evil good and good evil. Maybe our moral compass isn’t merely drifting anymore. Maybe it’s broken.

Fixing The Golf Rift Between The Professional Golf Association And the Renegade LIV/Saudi Arabia Sovereign Wealth Fund Imbroglio: A Solution For The Supporting Public Part 3

Which Arnold Palmer wanted nothing to do with. In truth it was an ill-thought-through idea that would not demonstrably benefit the members of the most dominant tour in the world that all golfers aspired to that Palmer had been instrumental in building, the PGA tour: Why mess with a winning formula?

$40+ Trillion Debt: The Bell Tolls for the US Dollar

by

Last Tuesday, the US’s debt passed the $40 trillion mark.

DC enjoys ignoring the debt almost as much as it loves piling it up. But that grim mile marker forced some of DC’s denizens to extrude some fake concern.

The tenor of which was almost entirely that of innocent bystanders – rather than that of the malevolent participants they all are:
