There is no debate that the Pentagon has been spoiling for a fight with Iran. It’s pretty much been an open secret for nearly 2 years. Then following a suspicious attack on a Japanese tanker in the Straight of Hormuz last week, we have a U.S. drone that was shot down, once again the details of which are a little vague. In the U.S. version of events, the drone was flying in international airspace when…

Technology is inching to towards a rather unique and unprecedented place. We are quickly reaching the point where the underlying technology running our lives is no longer something most people can even understand, even on a basic conceptual level. A perfect example of this is facial recognition and data mining. For years people understood that a company like Facebook was storing all of the data they posted. But people were unaware of just how that…

I’m not sure if the creators of HBO’s new show Euphoria were setting out to expose the shocking depths of modern youth culture or instead to further glorify emotional dysfunction and degeneracy, but either way the show is an indictment of the ruin that far-left Progressive social ideas have brought upon our children. The show focuses around the main character Rue, played by former Disney star Zendaya. Rue is about to start high school and…

With the recent rumblings over Iran and Joe Biden’s bizarre claim that his presidency would cure cancer, it got me thinking of those two things and whether or not war and curing disease have anything in common. Let me start by saying that although I believe Biden’s claim was nothing more than a random empty political promise, the government could very well take an active role in something like curing a disease and it has…

There has been much hand wringing over artificial intelligence and automation and what it means for people’s ability to find a job in the future. Many experts and business executives think that within 10 years, as much as 20% of today’s jobs will go away due to automation or AI. A prospect that will be devastating to our economy. But while that is a serious problem that needs to be addressed, there is a deeper…

Less than 24 hours after an attack on two separate oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz American intelligence agencies are claiming they already have “smoking gun” evidence that Iran was behind the attack. I’m not going to go into detail about the actual attacks here, you can find that information in plenty of other places. But what I am going to focus on is the use of the phrase “smoking gun” and how it…

In case you haven’t noticed, Netflix has been making many original shows and series about real-life or historic events. From crime dramas to documentaries, Netflix is getting into the narrative business. And that’s the troubling part. Netflix has become so ubiquitous and such a go-to for media viewing, that anything they produce instantly has a certain trustworthiness attached to it. Many people now believe that a Netflix produced show about a historic event is the…

With the recent news that Mexico has agreed to work with the Trump administration on illegal immigration in order to avoid Trump’s announced tariffs, it’s becoming even harder to doubt Trump’s tariff strategy. However, since Trump originally announced the tariffs on China and then Mexico, plenty of conservative pundits have called that decision into question. And I’m glad they did, because it exposed them for what they really are, establishment hacks who really want to…

With the dust having settled for the moment in the battle between Steven Crowder, Carlos Maza, and YouTube, a closer look at how the events unfolded leads me to believe none of it was organic at all and instead was a coordinated effort between Maza and YouTube to provide cover and justification for YouTube’s recent increase in political censorship. In YouTube’s version of events, Carlos Maza started an internet campaign to pressure YouTube to remove…

If you’ve browsed YouTube at all over the last few years, you’ve been bombarded by scam advertisements on almost every video you watch. From scam get-rich-quick schemes to phony medical cures, YouTube is filled with false advertising and it’s almost impossible to avoid. Considering YouTube has now declared itself the arbiter of what is true and what is “misleading” information, it seems strange that they would allow such blatantly false and obvious scams to run…
