A few decades ago we had Al Gore, who boasted about fighting Big Tobacco not 10 years after boasting about having grown mucho tobacco. Now we have the third-millennium version of smoking out of both sides of your mouth:

New York Governor Kathy Hochul is reportedly “test marketing” a complete ban on tobacco products — while her state is encouraging residents to buy marijuana at legalized pot dispensaries.

Apparently, all smoke particles inhaled into your lungs are equal, but some are more equal than others.

Fifty-five years ago already, Star Trek portrayed civilizations that worshiped über-powerful, artificially intelligent computers. In “The Return of the Archons” (1967), controlled and sometimes terrified people speak of the “will of Landru,” who is “everywhere” and stamps out individuality to absorb humans into a collective called “The Body.” In “The Apple” (1967), a planet’s primitive inhabitants worship a computer they fancy a deity, one that will kill anyone threatening its power. Yet with actual artificial intelligence (AI) now being developed, some are wondering if life will imitate art.

This issue has again been raised after billionaire tech mogul Elon Musk revealed that Google co-founder Larry Page aspires to create an AI super-intelligence that would essentially be a “digital god.”

“The way to crush the bourgeoisie is to grind them down between the millstones of taxation and inflation,” goes a line apparently misattributed to Vladimir Lenin. While the quotation is more likely a paraphrase of Lenin by famed economist John Maynard Keynes, it also “seems like a pretty good description of what the Biden administration is doing to America’s middle class,” wrote the New York Post a year ago already. Of course, “inflation,” as in rising prices, is at least largely caused by a phenomenon expressed via another definition of the term: inflating the money supply.

Now, one thing Lenin absolutely did prescribe, explicitly, was the raising of prices by continual money-supply inflation. He did this, he said, because it was the only way to truly destroy “economic freedom” or, as he put it using the term applied to economic systems by socialists, “capitalism.” This is absolutely relevant for us today, too, for a simple reason:

A path of currency destruction is precisely what our government is pursuing.

And both major parties are guilty — though perhaps for different reasons.

Well, at least we know Covid paranoia has passed. Where grown-ups once were aghast at the “coronavirus challenge” — a dare that had youngsters licking everyday items and which was called “disgusting” — now, licking away with the kids are the adults.

Or, are they “adultescents”?

This question can be asked with the revelation that teachers at a middle school in Washington state engaged in a “licking game” with students, an activity that sparked outrage and also has been called “disgusting.” In fact, some have even claimed it was sexual in nature and accuse the educators of being “groomers.”

We discussed how Washington state is enabling child sexual-distortion treatments (aka "gender-reassignment" treatments) without the parents' knowledge. My appearance begins at 29:56.

In our pronoun wars, a simple truth is generally missed: People don’t have pronouns.

Languages do.

Anyone not enjoying a Rip Van Winkle slumber for the last 20 years will know that the above alludes to the “personal pronoun” obsession of the MUSS (Made-up Sexual Status, aka “transgender”) activists. Yet pronoun-norm manipulation goes back decades.

We tackled this issue because, lamentably, many people today are making the case that Jesus was a socialist — and many are believing them. But the Truth will set you free.

If you’re a regular guy or gal and fancy yourself normal, think again. Because since you’re not a hermaphrodite, you just may be an “extreme” manifestation “of the sex spectrum.”

That is, according to the University of Texas Southwestern (UTS) Medical Center.

This is essentially what it’s teaching students via its Human Structure curriculum, which, reports Fox News, defines “anatomical sex as the physical structure including chromosomes, genes, and products ‘as the most frequent anatomical variants traditionally termed male and female.’”

The curriculum authors add….
