Boys Are Different

Scott Ott brings us an out-of-this-world, alternate-reality, sci-fi tale of schools that separate boys and girls and teach them as if they were somehow DIFFERENT from each other! [** MIND BLOWN!**] Luckily enough, both Steve and Bill have been to this Strange New World and report that conditions there are surprisingly well-suited for information retention and processing.

Got Pirates?

Iran's bought-and-paid-for Houthi pirates have concentrated at the top of the Red Sea, at the southern end of the Suez Canal. These are not dirt-poor Somali's racing up in a couple of wooden boats with outboard motors; these pirates are scouting their targets with reconnaissance drones and coming aboard unarmed merchant vessels by helicopter. And what do the mighty nations of the West do in response to these pygmy provocations? Well, the commercial vessels simply run away and add another 5,000 miles of water and twenty days of travel time to sail all the way around Africa. As far as The Most Powerful Navy in the History of the World is concerned, a sternly-worded declaration was made by the US Secretary of Defense, and a ten-nation coalition -- including the full naval might of Seychelles, the smallest and least-populated country in Africa -- are involved in Serious Discussions about building Multi-National Coalitions to combat the problem.

Dem Pollster Wonders: Why Aren't People Happier?

Limousine Liberal with excessive amounts of disposable income wonders why the Great Unwashed are unable to understand the Miracle of Bidenomics!

Going to the Movies

Movie theater attendance has been trending down for decades, and took a near-fatal hit after Covid-19. So what are the big theater chains doing to get people back into seats? Why, encouraging them to use their cell phones more often! What could possibly go wrong?

Time Bomb

There has been a dramatic and alarming rise in the number of near-catastrophic collisions in what has been for 22 years the single great miracle of the modern age: the US Commercial Air Transport System, which has seen some 40,000 flights per day without a single fatality in twenty-two years among US carriers domestically. But true to form, the government is now insisting on lowering those hard-earned standards in order to promote diversity and inclusion... and unless tings change, and soon, we will once again start including diversely horrific airline crashes into our lives once again.

Left-Wing Trumpmongering

He's not just a popularly-elected political opponent! HE IS THE END OF EVERYTHING WE HOLD DEAR AS A NATION AND MUST BE DESTROYED BEFORE HE CAN ENACT HIS GENOCIDAL FASCISTIC POLICE STATE BEFOE IT'S TOO LATE!!! The Left does not know what to do with him, so they keep escalating the hysteria in the hopes that someone will listen. One is temped to ask, though: since he has already served four years as President, where are all the death camps?

The Return of Dignity

Remember how shocked you were when 'shocking' became the cultural norm? Well, we are shocked -- shocked! -- to report that that particular pendulum may in fact be starting to return toward such now-shocking ideas as 'civility,' 'seemliness' and even 'dignity.'

Will HAMAS Steal Christmas?

After pro-Palestinian protestors glued themselves to the street during the Thanksgiving Day's Macy Parade it's not as absurd as it sounds... especially given the fact that since the 1972 Olympic Games in Munich, the Palestinians have show an almost supernatural ability to make the worst possible impression on world opinion.

Not So Fast, Scooter...

Scott Ott brings us some astonishing news: it turns out that if you break an apple down into its components and consume all of them, it is not as healthy for you as ACTUALLY EATING THE APPLE. Turns out the world is not only more complex than we imagine... it's more complex than we CAN imagine. Now how do we get the Big Brains in Science, Politics and Economics to understand something so simple and obvious?

Boycott Everything!

Well the kindly folks over at HAMAS have helpfully put together a list of companies that you must boycott in order to STOP ZIONISM NOW! By the way, feel free to go and bake a casserole or change your transmission fluid while Steve runs through the list of things that we must all give up in order to support the continued decapitation of Israeli babies.

No Respect... No Respect At All

How badly have Joe Biden and his so-far-left-they-have-disappeared-due-to-the-curvature-of-the-earth Progressive base damaged their once formidable, working-man brand? Badly enough, apparently, that they are no longer taking the Black vote as a given. This of course opens tremendous possibilities for Republicans... if we are smart enough and courageous enough to seize them. Our track record on this is not exactly illustrious.

Humans Need Not Apply

Among the many promises of the AI Revolution is the idea of limitless wealth and limitless leisure. We don't have 'limitless leisure' just yet, but we have far, far more leisure than at any other time in the history of the world, and the evidence seems to indicate that this is a very, very BAD idea.

Veep?

With Donald Trump the not-seriously-challenged Republican candidate in 2024, is there a chance we could see a political outsider double-header? In a culture war of competing ideas, is a career politician really the best choice for someone on bottom of the ticket?

The Syphilis Surge

Syphilis -- one of the most horrible diseases ever to torment humanity -- is making a strong comeback. Whatever could the cause be? Progressives, true to form, say the problem is that we are not spending enough money on public health clinics. Conservatives, true to form, claim that whatever you subsidize, you get more of.

Four LA County Sheriff's Deputies die within a 24 hour period...and each of them by their own hand. Bill, Steve and Scott try to get to the heart of the pressures that all police officers face, and most especially, how plummeting rates of respect for law enforcement are creating an environment where choosing such a career will soon be simply intolerable.

Will This Finally Do it?

Perhaps the only thing more shocking to American Jews than the barbarity of the October 7th terror attack is the magnitude of the pro-HAMAS sentiment here in the United States.

The Bodycam Revolution

After the George Floyd debacle, Police bodycams are becoming ubiquitous -- and it can't happen soon enough, because without them there is no doubt that some new outrage would have been concocted during the last three and a half years. Had police been wearing one in the Floyd incident, the proof that he couldn't breath before encountering the police would have been incontrovertible. But the bodycams do more than record the actions of suspects: they provide a profound insight into the astonishing patience, professionalism and courtesy of the police in the face of unimaginable slurs, insults and false accusations.

Blood on their Hands

The New York Times -- the Grey Lady, the Paper of Record --went with the story of an intentional Israeli airstrike on a hospital in Gaza. Was there independent verification for a story of this magnitude?There was. It was confirmed by HAMAS, the people that concocted the story in the first place. With this single act of criminal negligence this fake atrocity has entered the history books, and much worse, it has entered the hearts and minds of Israel's enemies as indisputable fact. Who knows how much more hatred and bloodshed this stunning irresponsibility will lead to?

Shalom?

An elderly Israeli woman, who, with her husband, was taken hostage during the HAMAS Terror Invasion, is released with great fanfare. She thanks her kidnappers -- which seems understandable considering her husband and many others continue to be held hostage. But after walking out of frame, she returns, shakes the hand that helped murder 1,400 innocent civilians, and wishes him "Shalom" - 'Peace.' Stockholm Syndrome? A play for better treatment of her husband still held hostage? A spiritual victory over hatred? Or is it impenetrable naiveté?

The HAMAS Terror Invasion: What Changed?

Steve Green points out that a mere three years ago, an American President had worked a miracle and pulled the entire region into an actual peace Treaty with the state of Israel; the idea being to increase the pressure on the Palestinians by dealing with them LAST. That President is gone. He may return. And while Joe Biden did not CAUSE either the war in Ukraine nor the HAMAS terror invasion, one does have to wonder how different things might be today with stronger and more competent American leadership.

Israel's Pearl Harbor

In the minutes before Hamas murderers shot down hundreds at an Israeli music festival, one person managed to photograph -- quite by accident -- several small black dots in the sky, coming in from the east. Even as they passed overhead, I'm sure the Israelis thought nothing of it... with precisely the same innocent trust that Americans stationed at Pearl Harbor had as swarms of Japanese aircraft began their attack.

Lego My Planet

Lego, the enormously popular building-block set, has its famous bricks made out of -- brace yourselves! -- Earth-killing PLASTIC. Based in Euro-weenie Denmark, Lego has spent years trying to do something that violates the laws of both nature and of man, namely: they tried, and failed, to make Lego bricks out of recycled plastic. Nothing they have tried has the precise *snap* needed, and so the Earth is now doomed to be consumed in flames and floods, leaving future insectoid historians to wonder, millions of years from now: "Was it worth it?"

Hasan Minhaj -- a comedian of Indian descen. born in the remote, exotic and mysterious city of Davis, California -- includes many tales of emotional trauma suffered as a Person of Color growing up in Amerikkka.

The Vivisection Epidemic

Viv·i·sec·tion: the practice of performing operations on live animals for the purpose of experimentation. Since the late 1800's there has been a strong moral protest against surgeries targeting healthy tissue of living animals. It was known as the anti-vivisectionist movement, and was in large part responsible for organizations like the SPCA and laws against animal cruelty. Ask a progressive if they are opposed to surgically dissecting living animals and they will be appalled. Apparently, however, when the test subjects are teenage girls then that is to be CELEBRATED.

Mississippi Shows Us How

We live in an age of falling standards, and have been for quite a while now. The fear is that once lost, these high expectations cannot be recovered... but is that true? Well, the Great State of Mississippi -- education's perennial laughing stock -- has tried a radical theory: if you don't meet the graduation standards for a particular public school grade, then YOU DO NOT GRADUATE. And, mirabile dictu, it turns out that since neither the students, teachers, administrators and politicians want a child to repeat a grade... test scores and performance standards are GOING UP!!

Sinking Fast Now

Well, for those who have been paying attention, Joe Biden's mental decline was shockingly apparent during the run-up to the 2020 election. Sometime later, those who had not been paying attention came to realize the same thing. This past week, however, his performance had degraded so catastrophically that even those determined NOT to see his incapacity could no longer ignore it. Alzheimers, the sinking of the Titanic and runaway inflation all have one thing in common: they begin slowly at first, then end very quickly, and Joe Biden is sinking fast now.
