There was a time when respect wasn’t measured by words alone, it was demonstrated through everyday actions. A gentleman removed his hat when being introduced to a woman, while engaged in conversation with her, or upon entering her home or another private space. If he simply passed her on the street, he tipped the brimContinue reading “A tip of the hat”

Selective outrage
A group of woke communist women can call conservatives and President Trump supporters fascists, during a Jane Fonda event trying to compete with the UFC and many on the woke left celebrate and defend it. They mean it. A UFC fighter, playing a character with a split-personality gimmick, calls former First Lady Michelle Obama aContinue reading “Selective outrage”
Ladies First
What a waste of an interesting premise. The original story comes from a French source, “I Am Not an Easy Man,” but this adaptation feels unfocused and uneven. It leans heavily on broad generalizations about male behavior, flipping stereotypes in a way that never really lands or makes any sense, instead trying to be provocativeContinue reading “Ladies First”

The Circle and the Screen
Which is better for the mind when celebrated with weed. Music or screen time. History’s timeline. Weed + friends + rock records is clearly superior. The classic era you’re remembering, weed + rock ‘n’ roll records with friends, peaked in the 1960s–1970s (hippie counterculture, vinyl listening parties, festivals) and lingered through the ‘80s and earlyContinue reading “The Circle and the Screen”
Freedom Under Threat
A House With Rules A nation is a house. It has walls. It has a foundation. It has rules for the people who live inside it. You don’t walk into another man’s house and start rearranging the furniture. You don’t kick holes in the walls because you prefer a different design. And you certainly don’tContinue reading “Freedom Under Threat”
The World Beyond the Hypnotic Screen
There are people on social media who wake up every morning angry, searching for anything, anything at all, that can be twisted into outrage. A crumb of negativity is enough to keep the fire burning. But life is happening somewhere else. It’s in the quiet of a park bench, the rhythm of water against theContinue reading “The World Beyond the Hypnotic Screen”
