Let me be clear: I have no bird in this fight. I care not a whit for avian kind. And I don’t care what people who do like birds want to call their voluntary associations. And if they get the woke warblers of the Washington Post in a flutter, so much the better.
A March 15 Post headline screeched that “National Audubon Society, pressured to drop enslaver’s name, keeps it.” And I’m pretty sure you…

Have you seen the video of the Russian fighter intentionally colliding with our drone over the Black Sea? It’s outrageous – not because it was a hostile act over international waters. As Chairman of the Joint Chiefs “Mark the Mediocre” Milley says, “Incidents happen.”
No, the really egregious aspect of the drone takedown is that the Russian pilot didn’t take the time to learn the…

Hear that whirring sound? That’s Pope Benedict XVI spinning in his tomb. Unfortunately, it’s not loud enough to drown out the German Catholic Church declaring its own irrelevance.
According to Breitbart, “The Synodal Assembly on the Reform of the Catholic Church voted in Frankfurt, Germany, to bless same-sex couples on Friday.” The German bishops can’t perform gay wedding ceremonies (yet), so…

Ja Morant is an NBA player, a punk, and possibly a psychopath. His employer, the Memphis Grizzlies, are cowardly enablers.
In the wee hours of Saturday morning, Morant posted an Instagram video of himself in a Denver strip club flashing a gun. Predictably, it went viral.
Morant is what you might call a “flashy player.” The Instagram gun flash came just days after a police report alleged he’d…

TIME Magazine has managed to cobble together a list of 12 Women of the Year and, so far as I can tell, all of them have actual lady bits! Yes, some of us can remember the days when the actual wombiness of a list designated as women was a given. But that was before USA Today made Admiral of the Fleet and Goddess of the Seas Rachel Levine a Woman of the Year. It was before Hershey’s Canada created…

There's serious dry rot in the House of Mouse.
Once upon a time, everything Walt Disney touched turned to gold. These days, everything his namesake company touches turns to garbage. Disney announced 7,000 layoffs last month. They didn’t come in time to avert the live-action remake of “Peter Pan,” the company is inflicting on the culture in April.
The “Peter Pan and Wendy” trailer is…

The new trend in candy advertising is awful. Mars did it with the M&Ms characters:
Step one: do something woke to troll conservatives (do some vaguely gender weird things to anthropomorphic marketing characters.)
Step two: pretend to be caught off guard by the divisive controversy and remove the supposedly beloved marketing characters (pointing at conservatives saying, “They’re why we can…

Planning a trip to D.C.? The Smithsonian Museums are a sightseeing must, and you don’t want to miss these fascinating exhibits:
“Faking the Moon Landing” at the Air and Space Museum. Get the audio tour narrated by Elliot Gould – well worth it, and don’t leave without going a round or two with holographic Buzz Aldrin.
“Rachel Dolezal: The Struggle is Real-ish” at the Museum of African American…

Farcical, silly and shameful events demand farcical, silly and shameful responses. In the 2+ years since the January 6 Capitol riot, American lefties have shown themselves equal to the challenge. The incontinent shrieking of a thousand George Floyd riot apologists eventually coalesced into the January 6 Commission Hootenanny and Review – the fictional documentary of documentary fiction.
But a…

I’ve written a kids book that’s going to be part of the Great Muscle Cars series. It’s called “The Yugo Persisted.” It’s the inspirational story of how the plucky upstart from behind the Iron Curtain challenged the status quo and took its place beside the Mustangs, GTOs and Camaros of the world.
What’s that? The Yugo isn’t a muscle car? Well, it doesn’t have a V8 engine, and it’s been criticized…
