The New Woke College Version of Ye Olde “Underwater Basketweaving” – What’s Next, a Major in ‘Peaceful Protesting’?
When colleges and universities start offering courses like this, it isn’t about academic rigor, the striving for newer (and useful) knowledge. This is pandering in a pale (and useless) effort under the rubric of “transforming the world.”
When Life Imitates Art
I’m not one to compare a movie to life, but I remember one movie that seemed to foreshadow what we’re seeing today. The story is about a man who is accused of a crime without knowing what crime he has been accused of committing.
Leonardo … Van Gogh …. Hunter Biden
This: So … when Hunter is not smoking crack or using the “n-word” or taking bribes from foreign countries in exchange for access to then Vice-President Biden … he is selling his art anonymously, which obviously is to allow foreign countries and anyone else to bribe him for access to President Biden: Buyers of Hunter … Read more

Are all things equal? Do you like music? Is all music equal? Do you find pleasure and joy there? Should we be free to listen to and to make music without fear or intimidation? What about liberties?

I was liberal because my political and moral philosophy was based on freedom, the rule of law, property rights, respect for life and equal … Read more
Things are not as they seem – and you will end up with a smile on your face
Well, most of you, anyways. My thought was, finally, some “post-modern art” that I can appreciate. https://twitter.com/XStrategiesDC/status/1077260778099666944 (H/T: Instapundit)
