Is Convenience Killing Urban Life?
I’ve been writing about the Ultra-Processed Life that’s been normalized (or perhaps hyper-normalized), and the core dynamic at work is the disconnect between what I call the real world–tangible, contingent, requiring situational awareness and skills–and the disembodied nature of the digital, financial and consumption realms.

The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists, and will persist.” — President Dwight D. Eisenhower In the 1960s and 1970s when the US actually…
Bedlam, Pending
“You need a sufficient amount of ruthlessness to run a country” — Will Chamberlain on “X” You understand, all these lawsuit shenanigans with select federal judges from Woke-crazed districts like Boston, San Francisco, Rhode Island, and the DC Beltway are aimed at provoking a second civil war. The objective…
Trump Backs Uber-RINO Lindsey Graham in Shocking 2026 Endorsement
President Donald Trump on Tuesday issued a glowing endorsement of none other than Senator Lindsey Graham — arguably one of the most two-faced, globalist-aligned, and anti-Trump figures in modern Republican politics. The endorsement, posted on Truth Social, praised Graham as a “wonderful friend” and lauded his work on economic reform,…
