John Parillo Explains Federalist 54
In Federalist 54 Madison says that it is quite natural that taxes be apportioned to the number of people living in the individual states.
Propaganda from the credentialed media will not change reality
My website, The First Street Journal, maintains a Stylebook of its own devise. It includes: Those who claim to be transgender will be referred to with the names, honorifics, and pronouns appropriate to the sex of their birth; the site owner does not agree with the cockamamie notion that anyone can simply ‘identify’ with a …
America’s Quiet Military Draft Crisis: The Test That Won’t Lie
For a century, the Department of Defense (now DoW) has asked a brutally simple question: can you read, can you reason, can you do basic math, can you learn a job without turning equipment into modern art? This isn’t about genius. It’s about baseline competence—the kind that keeps helicopters in the sky and generators from becoming bonfires.
From Tolerance to Tyranny
“You may say I’m a dreamer, but I’m not the only one.I hope someday you’ll join us, and the world will live as one.”
– John Lennon, final chorus from the song Imagine
Common sense and lawfare tend to be two diametrically opposed things.
I used to think that political liberalism encompassed some divergence of views. After all, they can’t all think exactly the same on everything, right? But the more I read the more I see a mental monolith, and it’s a monolith that verges on stupidity.
Defund the Left. Take All Their Money.
“Money is the Mother’s milk of politics”. And, it’s much more than that. It is both feeds politics and is the product of politics. So, you need money to get power in politics and you will get a lot of money out of politics.
Is Diversity Our Strength, or Our Weakness?
I have never believed the leftist maxim that insists diversity is “our strength.” Instead, I see it as divisive, with our nation being split into cultural, ethnic, racial, religious, and political tribes who are essentially at war with one another.
Ben Shapiro issues MAJOR warning…
The ‘Outnumbered’ panel discussed conservative commentator Ben Shapiro’s argument about the decline of trust in American institutions and its impact on shared values.
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. Thus, beyond all science and reason, …
Defending Our Constitution
The oath military officers take in these United States, is different than that taken by officers in other countries. American officers swear to an ideal, not a tyrant.
The Erosion of Capitalism and Individual Liberty: Is the United States Becoming a Socialist Nation?
In recent years, the United States has witnessed growing erosion of capitalism and the fundamental liberties enshrined in the nation’s founding principles.
Reefer Madness Wasn’t a Movie—It Was a 100-Year Information Operation
There’s a comfortable lie Americans like to tell themselves: that we are too smart, too informed, too free to be manipulated at scale. That propaganda is something that happens in other countries, to other people, under other flags. Then you dig up a grainy black-and-white relic like Reefer Madness and realize—no, we ran one of the most effective information operations in modern history… on ourselves.
Three Knots, No Excuses: The Lost Skill That Still Saves Lives
There was a time—not that long ago—when a man who couldn’t tie a knot was considered about as useful as a screen door on a submarine. Today, we’ve got people carrying $1,200 smartphones, satellite GPS, and enough titanium gadgets clipped to their belt to look like a walking REI catalog… and they can’t tie a loop that won’t slip under load.
Aristotle
One of Plato’s students was Aristotle. After spending time as the tutor to Alexander the Great (before he was “the Great”) Aristotle formed his own school called the Lyceum.
Boss Newsom’s Empire of Waste, Fraud & Mismanagement
Those of us who live in this mismanaged, Democrat-ruled dung-show are keenly aware that Gov. “Hair Gel” has already relentlessly trashed the “Golden State.”
The Modern Plato
As I was responsible yesterday for your overconsumption of wine, perhaps I can offer amends today. Remember that in the discussion of the nature of a chair, Plato hypothesized that the form of a chair existed separately from the existence of any particular chair or of the craftsman who make them. That form did not depend on space or …
What is Good
In Plato’s “Republic” he sets about to explore what is the good life. In that analysis he discusses the very nature of goodness.
Yet another public school teacher accused of trying to become sexually involved with a student
There was no one more disappointed than I was when The Philadelphia Inquirer and then-Philadelphia District Attorney Seth Williams started going after the Archdiocese of Philadelphia for covering up sexual abuses by Catholic priests, or the horrible statistics when the John Jay Report, The Nature and Scope of Sexual Abuse of Minors by Catholic Priests …
Understanding College Athletics Today: How “Amateur” Athletes Are Becoming Millionaires
March Madness is done. Monday night, the Michigan Wolverines held off the UConn Huskies for the NCAA basketball title, and college free agency, otherwise known as “The Transfer Portal,” is now open and active.
