With Brandt as my Witness

With Brandt as my Witness

The sentencing of Dallas police officer Amber Guyger for the murder of a Caribbean immigrant in his home has become another media-administered ink blot test.

The second paragraph is the most telling, as it's an unabashed piece of brand management. It's Marvel's megacorp owners trading on the…

Witchcraft Makes You Stupid

Witchcraft Makes You Stupid

As I've told the commenters here many times, I'd been hoping that a Death Cultist would finally be dumb enough to try and beat the Witch Test. Thanks to author Bradford Walker, my hope has been rewarded. Bradford kicked off the proceedings by administering the test to a TDS-afflicted Leftoid.…

An Irresistible Force

An Irresistible Force
