Knowles, YAF, and Professional Provocation

If you didn’t get it before, perhaps you’ll get it now. Michael Knowles is not a political philosopher or thinker. He does not share novel ideas worth anyone’s serious engagement. He is a propagandist whose sole job is to provoke the left. That’s it – he exists to trigger the libs. Or to make libs cry. Or to troll the

NYS DOT And The Little Engine That Won’t

I recently spent a vacation in Italy, where the trains run more or less on time and the high-speed rail network is extensive and genuinely fast.

It is also possible for a person simply to change their username, and unless you know the new account name there is no easy way to

Good Riddance

People who aren’t funny and have no sense of humor shouldn’t attempt humor. People who are transparently nursing and prosecuting grievances – and won’t shut up about them – should not simultaneously pretend that they are acting out of a sense of civic duty. This is insulting the intelligence of literally anyone. People shouldn’t lie over and over and over
