Actor Jim Caviezel put our current dilemma into words in a 2018 gathering. I’m obliged to The Conservative Treehouse for originally embedding this video. The relevant excerpt is less than three minutes long (the video is keyed to start and end at the appropriate points), and well worth your time to watch. Mr. Caviezel’s… Continue reading Jim Caviezel hits it out of the park

I can’t link to it directly, because MeWe doesn’t provide that facility, but here it is. One crisp winter morning in Sweden, a cute little girl named Greta woke up to a perfect… Continue reading The logical consequences of Greening

Truth is hard in a special-snowflake world
Film screenwriter, director and producer Christopher McQuarrie sent a string of tweets a few days ago that encapsulate how he sees the industry, and how to achieve success in it. He’s blunt (almost brutally so) about how nobody’s going to do the work if you don’t, and how you can’t expect the Success Fairy to… Continue reading Truth is hard in a special-snowflake world
Heh
Found on Gab: Yes, I’ve had a few moments like that. I forget who first said that humans share a common language called profanity, but it’s all too true! Peter
