The life of an editor-in-whatever it is I am includes the email equivalent of what would make any Italian mama happy. It’s full, but that doesn’t stop it from asking for more—no asking required. As Skip likes to say, we get stuff, which is a good thing, and among the digital mounds is a piece … Read more
The Pink Peach Tree was painted in 1888 by Vincent Van Gogh. One of the first books I purchased in my teens was a large, leather-bound coffee table book featuring works of art by Van Gogh. I came across this book in a basement bookshop on Canal Street in New York City. This was the same … Read more

The degradation of liberal education in America is anything but a niche public-policy concern. Like all rights-protecting democracies – and especially as a 21st-century great power with globe-spanning interests – the United States requires a host of highly-trained individuals to keep its government functioning, military operating, economy churning, and civil society thriving. Essential men and … Read more

Today, our military services face growing threats around the world while their ability to maintain a quality, well-trained, and capable force is at risk. Our focus should be on readiness, warfighting, and especially selecting the best qualified leaders possible, not on recruiting Drag Queens to perform for service members and their families or promoting sex … Read more
If a dog can be trained to salivate each time he sees a light appear, is it not possible to condition people’s minds to commit violent assassination attempts? As a longtime student and observer of how Pavlovian mind control influences the American political arena, two books from the 1970s give insight into how Pavlov’s techniques … Read more
With my writing approaching four decades, there is this nagging or just an inner questioning of this knack. I suppose it has to do with being out of sync with the concept or general idea of a boilermaker, however, this personal aspect is not broad based since its been limited only to family and friends. … Read more

The Vermont State Police today commented on intense local, state and online social media buzz about a MAP (Minor Attracted Persons) gathering reportedly scheduled to occur in Washington County beginning on Thursday, September 19.

One of the few areas where liberty made gains in the COVID lockdown era was the increase in homeschooling. Many parents started homeschooling out of frustration with the failure of “virtual learning” to provide children with a quality education. Other parents withdrew their children from government schools when virtual learning allowed them to discover how … Read more
I accept that this is a strange headline. The woke right; what could you possibly mean by that? As a way of explaining, let’s call it the appetizer; consider the desire not to get caught up in your echo chamber. The urge to at least appear as if you are not trapped in a world … Read more
The Left is spinning faster than an Atlantic Basin Cyclone to dismiss claims that Kamal’s border-jumping Haitians are eating people’s pets. And let’s be honest. It’s not a matter of whether it is true or not; they can’t afford to lose the liberal cat-lady vote. The deceitful, flip-flopping Border Tsar needs them, so claims of … Read more
For centuries, advocates for greater state power have claimed that modern sovereign states are like families. The value of the strategy is clear: most people view families as both necessary and natural. Even in our current age of widespread divorce and single parents, the idea of “family” (variously defined) remains enduringly popular. Thus, for a … Read more
I have long argued that the cure for what ails our kids is to fix the public schools. High cost and poor outcomes aside, the rise in physical and mental health issues in kids is directly attributable to the ideological capture of public education. The schools made kids sick by forcing them to wear masks. … Read more
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (sometimes belonging) are surprisingly stupid ideas. You’d have to be an idiot to think it is about the unification of demographically different people. Even the most optimistic among us, when seeing DEI in practice, can honestly accept that its goals are anything but what it pretends. Case in point. In a … Read more
It has always been the purview of campus critters to engage in violence to silence speech they’d rather not hear. This is an odd view because, in truth, it is to stop speech they don’t want anyone else to hear. As a conscientious objector, they could stay home and play video games or watch reality … Read more

I was listening to Joe Rogan and Jordan Peterson discuss everything from drugs to God, and throughout the conversation, there was a theme of individualization. The path from child to adult begins with—for lack of a better example—pushing the baby birds out of the nest, as well as that process of preparation (in humans) to … Read more
