A Victory For Common Sense
For our good friends on the left, it is an unwritten rule: not only must they be ‘progressive,’ and ‘woke,’ but they must take the furthest left position possible on any issues in any way related to sex, or they will be enabling MAGA and the evil reich-wing conservatives.

Two Wings, One Bird: How We Traded a Republic for a Revenue Machine
We like to pretend we live in a fierce two-party system. Red vs. blue. Left vs. right. Cable news gladiators screaming like it’s the Super Bowl of righteousness. But step back far enough and the illusion fades. What you actually see is one bird with two wings—and that bird doesn’t care about your values, your vote, or your virtue. It worships one thing: money.

From Freedom Convoy to Financial Control: The Rise of Instant Compliance
If you want a glimpse of how modern pressure can scale fast, look north to the winter of 2022 and the protests known as the Freedom Convoy. What began as a cross-country movement of truckers opposing cross-border vaccine requirements turned into a broader protest against mandates and restrictions.

Supporters called it necessary to restore order; critics saw it as a warning shot—how quickly financial access and mobility can be restricted in a modern, digitally connected system.

Pennsylvania Just Became a Little Less Safe
Well, of course. Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, a Democrat of course, opposes capital punishment, as do I, but the Governor of the Keystone State does not have arbitrary power to issue pardons or sentence commutations on his own.

SCOTUS and Doctrines

Separation of Powers Is Not Immunity from Accountability
Hannah Dugan and a rogue’s gallery of activist district judges don’t seem to understand that “we the people” spoke on November of 2024. We want the immigration crisis created by President Asterisk, fixed.
