The Descent Of The Fad
For most of my life, a “fad” was harmless. When I was in high school, “streaking” was the latest and greatest thing. Of course, there had always been fads in clothing; what I wore without shame in college would be…
Sometimes, The Collateral Damage Is Necessary
As I read the host’s gentle chastisement of the president for letting Iran, once again, up off the mat, the phrase that is the title of this piece crossed my mind. Somewhere, starting around the time of our Civil War, industrialization joined…
Judging Fauci – The Hugh Hewitt Show
