One of the favorite narratives of left leaning media personalities is that Donald Trump is a Nazi Fascist determined to make himself America’s dictator-for-life. He does make it easy for them to paint this picture of him. Language he uses to describe illegal immigrants is not unlike Hitler’s language describing non-Aryans, especially Jews. He enjoys…

Whenever a sports team becomes dominant in its league, other teams seek to figure out the secret sauce and replicate it. When the San Francisco 49ers began to execute what they called the “West Coast offense” in the 1980s and went on to win three Super Bowl championships that decade, we began to see multiple…

Governor Ron DeSantis of Florida and the University System of Florida recently banned a student group called Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP). The pro-Palestinian group has shown solidarity with Hamas in its conflict with Israel.

Nonetheless, More Spock attempts to avoid the Halo-Horns effect. Meaning if a person you like is right about one thing, they are right about everything (Halo)…

In a previous blog, Irony and Free Speech Movements, I noted that intolerance primarily came from the political right during the 1950s, 60s, 70s and 80s, but over the past few decades, it has been the political left that has exhibited the most aggressive forms of intolerance. Lenny Bruce, Jack Kerouac, Hunter S. Thompson and…

Vice President Harris recently made headlines when she attacked Florida’s new history curriculum which included a single sentence in its Black history standards that has become controversial. It states that while enslaved, “slaves developed skills” they could use for their “personal benefit.” Harris responded by saying, “How is it that anyone could suggest that amidst…
