How Character Dies
Few bits of news have haunted me more than the revelation that Anthony Fauci used his position to lever cash prizes for himself. Yes, it is government corruption, but when combined with his diaries, it is something worse. The man’s quest…
Lessons From The Hellscape – The Hugh Hewitt Show
I spent the week in Los Angeles and I wish that the title for this post was entirely hyperbolic, but sadly, portions of LA are a hellscape and even when you are not in those portions, the place is still dingy and dull and worn out. This post…
The Political Mirror – The Hugh Hewitt Show
So yesterday I am “driving” around Southern California. I put that word in scare quotes because traffic in SoCal is such that for the first time in my life I thought a self-driving car might be a useful thing as I crawled along at 10mph in…

Right now, the eastern half of the state of Washington is ablaze in a scene eerily reminiscent of the Los Angeles wildfires of January 2025. These coastal states, California and Washington, share in common very liberal politics dominated by…
