“It is a testament to the moralism of the eco-doom movement that there has been so much focus on shaming ‘deniers’. Practical matters – like, I don’t know, making the case for the mass rollout of aircon – play second fiddle to the pillorying of heretics. The argument seems to be that these wicked doubters have landed us in the inferno of a neverending summer, just as their witchy forebears gave us crop failure and icy winters. I see it differently. To me, the punishing impact of the heatwaves is less the handiwork of ‘deniers’ than a byproduct of the moral circus of eco-alarmism itself.” (08/18/26)
“The disgraced academic was a pathological liar and lifelong con artist whose misdeeds were covered up for years by self-serving academic administrators. Exposing this kind of rot in elite institutions is our job.” (08/18/26)
“A recent Breitbart headline: ‘DSA Lawmaker Declares Stealing Should *Not* Be Illegal’. This was not, in the least, a surprising headline to me. These people have no conscience, and their only moral standard is whatever they say it is. I guarantee you that her meaning actually is, ‘stealing will be wrong for you, but it won’t be wrong for us’. I will prove to you, in this article, that that is the Left’s definition of ‘stealing’. Lenin did not make the mistake of telling his people what he was going to bring to them. Some of these really dumb Democrats are telling us what they intend, but nobody but people who know the true history of socialism/communism believes them.” (08/18/26)

“Few slogans travel through modern politics with as much confidence and as little scrutiny as the claim that inequality is a social ill to be corrected at nearly any cost. Yet a fair reading of the evidence suggests the opposite conclusion. Inequality is not a defect in the system. It is the primary mechanism by which human achievement compounds, wealth spreads, and living standards rise for the great majority of people who never come close to the top of the distribution.” (08/18/26)

“he Flying Burrito Brothers were a classic country rock band that was at its best in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Evidently, later configurations persisted for years afterward even without the participation of key original members. There is now a new reason for the band, in whatever form it currently exists, to retire the name: It more accurately describes members of the very online conservative movement in the year of our Lord 2026. … even the most sage counsel, accompanied by detailed studies of fast-casual menu prices, ignores the macro-level problems. The country did not Door Dash its way to the highest inflation rate in 41 years under former President Joe Biden. Nor did it Uber Eats its way into a quagmire in Iran that has begun to consume the second presidency of Biden’s predecessor-turned-successor.” (08/18/26)
“Less than two months after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled his executive order on birthright citizenship to be unconstitutional, President Donald Trump has issued not one but two new executive orders on birthright citizenship that largely retread the same illegal grounds that the Supreme Court already rejected in Trump v. Barbara. Is this just a futile outburst from a consummate sore loser? Or does Trump actually stand a chance of faring any better in court this time around?” (08/18/26)
