Bucknell will do it again

If you were one of the 40,125 on Saturday watching the UCLA Bruins turn the Terrapins into turtle soup, in Pittsburgh Bucknell was having an even worse afternoon. UCLA beat Maryland 54–3, which is bad enough, but Bucknell took the full Pittsburgh monte 59–0.

THE House on the Hill: What Happens When a Nation Forgets It Has a Front Door?

Let me tell you about a house.

Not a metaphor about hope or healing or some poem you’d find tacked to a kindergarten bulletin board. No. This one is about immigration, borders, assimilation, and the spectacular self-inflicted chaos of a nation that forgot why it has walls. Grab a seat. There will be a quiz at the end, and yes, I grade on a curve, but not that generous a curve.

PRE-ELECTION: Trump, Dracula, and the Art of Looking Crazy

Maybe Donald Trump isn’t crazy. Maybe looking a little crazy is the whole point. Vlad the Impaler understood that reputation, fear, and unpredictability could be weapons against a stronger enemy. Six centuries later, Trump may be playing a strangely similar game: keep Putin, Xi, and Tehran wondering, “WTF…he might actually do it.”

US troops exit Iraq after more than two decades

US forces have withdrawn from their remaining bases in Iraq, bringing an end to two decades of military presence in the country. The departure, agreed in 2024, is being carried out by the Trump administration despite the ongoing war against Iran. It’s led to fears that a security vacuum could embolden Iran-backed militias and lead to a resurgence of Daesh. Rahul Radhakrishnan reports.

Highway 30A

I came into town driving on Highway 331. The sun was setting. The sky was pink. The first thing I saw was the bay of my youth, and I almost started to cry tears of nostalgia.

Whereupon a motorist in a Range Rover traveling upwards of 190 mph tried to run me off the bridge and into the bay water.

Welcome home.

A Retrospective on Write-In and Minority Party Ballot Anomalies in Wisconsin during the 2020 Election

Immediately after the 2020 election, I was fortunate to be in contact with a group of independent analysts and experts in their respective fields, e.g., statistics, mathematics, computer science, etc., who provided early analysis of publicly available election data sets from Edison Research and other sources. With their concurrence, I wrote several articles that described their election analyses in several of the swing states – and their inferences that “something was rotten in the state of Denmark.”

Trump puts trust in AI bosses to ‘police themselves’ • FRANCE 24 English

As fears mount over the safety of rapidly advancing AI models, US President Donald Trump gathered tech leaders at the White House on Tuesday where he said they signed a “morally binding” commitment to self-regulate and build adequate safeguards on the fast-moving technology. “They’re going to police themselves,” Trump said after the meeting.

5th Generation War , Part 3: How Do We Save the Republic Without Committing Suicide?

The greatest danger in fifth-generation warfare may not be what our enemies do to us, but what we do to ourselves trying to stop them. Lincoln warned that if America were ever destroyed, “we must ourselves be its author and finisher.” The answer isn’t censorship, blind trust in government, or blind distrust of it. It is resilient institutions, transparent elections, evidence, critical thinking, and citizens willing to defend the rights of people they despise. The Human Domain is contested terrain—but if we surrender our liberty to defend it, we have already lost the battle.

Shockingly Underreported News and Commentary for the Week of 20 September

This is the eighth post in the ongoing weekly feature that highlights news and commentary on important geopolitical, cultural, and economic issues that the Democrat-media complex buries because they expose the hypocrisies associated with the continuing Marxist-Democrat narrative. Everything is properly sourced and linked for follow-up reading, whether from legacy media, independent sources, or social media.

Twisted Logic, Shifting Morals: How High-Profile Trials Are Distorting American Justice

During my career with the Chicago Tribune, I covered my share of criminal and civil trials.  One thing I learned early on was to watch the jury for telltale reactions that might indicate how jurors were processing the evidence.

Should the good work of every sinner be destroyed, because he was a sinner?

Should we ban Volkswagens because Adolf Hitler helped create the company? Millions of people, including millions of Americans have bought the “people’s car,” because it has been practical for them. A lot of students had them when I was in college, though I was not one of them, back in the days of quill pens and inkwells, because they were inexpensive and cheap to operate.

He Wants to Raise Your Kids. Here Is the Babysitter’s Resume.

Friday morning. First cup of coffee. The good mug. “She calls me Daddy.” Kids not up yet, house quiet, the one peaceful ten minutes a father of four gets all day.

And then I read it.

Ro Khanna, congressman from Silicon Valley, announced that it is time for Democrats to offer “a bold vision for free childcare.” His bill would make childcare free, pay childcare workers a “living wage,” put friends, family, and neighbors who watch your kids on the government payroll, and mail stay-at-home parents a $1,000 stipend.

Midterms diplomacy: Iran is waiting for Democrats to take back Congress

But the Wall Street Journal’s spin is Trump is twisting arms to make Iran a pariah. After 47 years of Iran declaring “death to America,” the Journal should not act surprised, but it does. The media wants Trump to fail and if misrepresenting America’s accomplishments in this war hurts Trump, the media will continue such spin.

Karelia: The Finnish Paradise That Wasn’t

In the 1930s, thousands of Finnish-Americans left places like Michigan and Minnesota for Soviet Karelia, promised jobs, security, and the chance to build a Finnish workers’ paradise. Then paradise met Stalin. Some escaped, some disappeared into the Gulag, and some ended up in mass graves. Today, Karelia remains on the map, but much of its Finnish character is gone. It’s a fascinating and tragic lesson about political promises, cultural identity, and why—when someone promises you paradise—you should probably check the return policy.
