Holier Than Thou

By John R. “Buck” Surdu Whether its pretentiousness, virtue signaling, or overdeveloped self-importance, many people manifest a holier-than-thou attitude that has become both endemic and irritating. I read an article some years ago, with a title like “’Tis the Season to Not Make Anyone Happy.” I thought I had saved a copy of that article, …

Biden Gets 4 Pinocchios from WaPo Fact Checker; ‘No reason to get the number so wrong — twice’

Most politicians exaggerate. And some even tell outright lies. Throughout the course of his long political career, President Joe Biden has been extremely prone to both. But in remarks delivered during the White House signing ceremony for the CHIPS and Science Act of 2022 earlier this month, he told such a whopper that he earned “four …

Whack a Mole

I read lately that Planned Parenthood has changed their business model. Since the abortion industry has had its wings clipped, they have branched out into a new and exciting area. “Assisting” children into oblivion by being a provider for puberty blockers and giving counseling to aid them in their bodily mutilation pathway.

The Problem Is Not Mass Incarceration; the Problem Is That Not Enough People Are Incarcerated!

Larry Krasner, the police-hating defense attorney sponsored by George Soros to become District Attorney in Philadelphia, really, really doesn’t like putting criminals in jail. He is a strong believer in “restorative justice,” and his office issued, on May 26, 2022, a paper claiming that their “restorative justice” programs have worked just spectacularly well. So it …

Republicans Don’t Have the Luxury of Challenging the Purity of Dr. Oz’s Conservatism

Midterms

Although Democrats controlled the House by a wide margin in January 2009, the party was still one seat short of the 60-vote threshold necessary …

Massie Reveals Photos of IRS Recruiting Program, Looks Like Audition for Next ‘Police Academy’

President Joe Biden took a few hours between vacations on Tuesday to sign the ironically named “Inflation Reduction Act,” a boondoggle of a bill that analysts agree will not reduce inflation.

What the Romanovs Can Teach Us about Living Like Cossacks

Tsar Nicholas II of Russia and his children pose with the elite Cossack warriors.

For just over 100 years we have been taught to believe a certain narrative about the Romanovs. Particularly that Nicholas II was meek and ill-prepared for a job that he didn’t want, that of being emperor of Russia, when his father Alexander III died suddenly in 1894. The truth was that at just 23, he indeed faced the monumental task of bringing Russia into the 20th Century, but that as a man of faith, he gave his life fully and completely to God’s will.

Everyone Has An Opinion.

Trump Wants You

Remaining as one of the more popular topics that Republicans discuss, at least between articles from various Republican sites, is whether or not Trump should run, in 2024. No need to name names, because most are seemingly reasonable approaches and others are throwing out possibilities to continue Republican leadership. It is kind of disheartening, however. …

Overseas US Military Families in for a Long, Cold Winter as EU Officials Agree to Energy Rationing Plan

Germany’s headlong leap into green energy has come back to bite them. Their windmills and solar panels won’t keep them warm this winter and Putin is more than happy to tighten the flow of energy. And it gets cold in Germany. On Friday, The Ansbach Hometown Herald, a newspaper serving military families stationed at the …
