  • The Ultimate Orwellianism

    The ultimate Orwellianism is to refer to the terminally benighted as 'woke.'

  • Is Obama a Semi-Racist?

    The illustrious Joe Biden has enriched the national conversation with his introduction of 'semi-fascist.' Why not then 'semi-racist'? A semi-racist is one who is half-racist. Now we know that every white, but no black, is a racist. So anyone who is half-white and half-black is a semi-racist. 

  • Fetterman Unfettered: Against Ableism

    In the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, John Fetterman is currently competing with Dr. Mehmet Oz for a seat in the U. S. Senate.

The bird of reality can be carved up in any way that suits the will to…
