With the death of Alexei Navalny, we are reminded once again how Vladimir Putin meets Donald Trump’s definition of “smart.” Indeed, a fellow “genius.” So much in common. Back when Trump took the Miss Universe pageant to Moscow in 2013, he wrote Putin a gushing letter inviting him to attend and wondered via tweet if […]
Don’t credit Goebbels for what Trump has made his own: by John Young
I expect a finder’s fee for this. The Trump Organization is hard up for spending cash; this we know. But I’ve found something certain to stir its acquisitions department out of court-ordered slumber. Here goes: If you’re an amateur historian, you believe Hitler wingman Joseph Goebbels said: “If you tell a lie big enough and […]
The science of opt-in ignorance by John Young
“To be a scientist is to be naïve. We are so focused on the search for truth we fail to consider how many actually want us to find it” – Valery Legesov Can you handle some truth? You should. It’s all good news. Really good news on two scientific fronts. The first front is economics: […]
Swifties are the least of GOP’s problems: by John Young
Let me get this straight. Why is Taylor Swift the most popular performer on the planet? Because a wokeness-contaminated Pentagon enlisted her in a grand psychological operations plot.

Only one poll mattered in 2023: by John Young

A sentence-serving felon, as long as the felon is 35 and a citizen. Check your Constitution. Check Google. One student said she heard someone could […]
