In the aftermath of the first Government lockdowns about a year ago in response to Covid-19, Brandon Barrios found his used instrument store, Music-go-Round in Fort Collins, shut down. Leaving him with a lot of time to think. He decided to get some fresh air and some quiet time to clear his mind, by heading…
For better or worse, nowhere in the constitution does it mention political parties. By looking into the writings of the founders, it seems apparent they never would have thought that our current party system would exist in the form it does today, and would have almost certainly seen it as detrimental to the republic if they could.…
One of the most common complaints from conservative voters is that Republicans don’t “fight.” They believe, and correctly so, that their representatives aren’t engaging in enough meaningful battles, both culturally and politically. Many Trump voters supported him in 2016 because he represented that willingness to “fight.” And he certainly did that. He pushed back strongly…
There is a fascinating subgroup of Americans that walk the line between being incredibly critical and dissuaded by the U.S. federal government and the money interests that dominate it, and yet proudly revere the stars and stripes. They wrestle the dichotomy between free-spirited rebellion and patriotism. They often cringe and protest at the excess’ the…
It’s not every day that Ted Cruz agrees with AOC publicly, much less on Twitter. Then again, not every day can be like today. Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk don’t have billions of dollars in the bank. They’ve got an unlimited, revolving fund of credit that’s backed by… Their stock. That’s right. The ability to…
America has had it’s moments over the past year. No one is walking up to the dais to announce that 2020 was the best of calendar cycles. But that pales in comparison to the clown show that we saw on January 6th of 2021. The tables are turned. Leftists and liberals are wondering why there…
Yup. the absolute dumbest presidential race in recent history. Firstly, we’ve got Sleepy Joe Biden: the democrats, being the urban elitist panderers that they are, chose to run their mostly deeply-entrenched establishment candidate. They did this because they knew they could, A: please their kleptocratic Wall Street overlords and B: because they knew that Trump…
Halloween is coming. As always, one of the spookiest things in American society is bound to accompany this ritual of inversion (defined as an event that allows people to violate social norms): political correctness. On the PC ticket this year, as it is every other, is the idea of cultural appropriation. Cultural appropriation really entered…
We’ve all recently seen an eyebrow-raising number of yard signs with semantically-overloaded slogans in rainbow font, which are more of an attempt to virtue signal condescendingly and make a public political statement than they are evidence of any actual understanding of the issues advertised. “In this house, we believe; Black lives matter, woman’s rights are…
Hong Kong. What is it, like, a country? A city? An island maybe? Do they speak Chinese or British English? Well, sort of, yes, sort of, and yes. Hong Kong has been tumultuous and roaring since the founding (historical fiction nerds should read Tai-Pan for a rollicking telling of Hong Kong at its origin). The…
