Comment: The church where this atrocity occurred in Nice is the city's 'Notre Dame' (and it even looks like the bigger one in Paris). This is not coincidental. Islamists/jihadists/patsies/whatever carrying out such attacks in lockstep with the French government's major announcements of ever-encroaching lockdown measures is also not coincidental. There is indeed science and methodology to the 'Covi
Coming off the worst quarter in history, the U.S. economy grew at its fastest pace ever in the third quarter as a nation battered by an unprecedented pandemic started to put itself back together, the Commerce Department reported Thursday. Third-quarter gross domestic product, a measure of the total goods and services produced in the July-to-September period, expanded at a 33.1% annualized pace, ac
"Boris Johnson? Who is he?" asked Lucy. "Why, it is he that has got all Covidia under his thumb," said Mr Tumnus. "It's he that makes it always Covid. Always Covid and never Christmas; think of that!" - The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, CS Lewis (with a few changes) Were he around today, I have no doubt that C.S. Lewis, one of the 20th Century's greatest intellects, would be utterly scathing o

If you have ever lost a loved one, you'll know that grief is an unending process — a hole in your heart and life that can never be filled, a bittersweet love forever within you with nowhere to go, a lifetime of cherished moments trapped in amber. So we don't want to judge Kim Kardashian too harshly for this, but... good lord. For my birthday, Kanye got me the most thoughtful gift of a lifetime. A
Okay, I’m cheating you. I promised to post every chapter of Polemical Judo before the election. But a couple of them won't change anyone's minds and are more about sage arguments over policy.

The US presidential election next Tuesday will shape the world for years, if not decades, to come. Not only because Joe Biden and Donald Trump have radically different ideas about immigration, health care, race, the economy, climate change, and the role of the state itself, but because they represent very different visions of the US’s future as a technology superpower.
