Why is it that so-called "woke liberals" who always claim to be tolerant are always the least tolerant people of all? They are always so angry all the time, always going out of their way to take offense, and above all, they hate to see other people happy. Now Meat Loaf (real name Marvin Lee Aday) is a pretty affable kind of guy who never meant anybody any harm. Despite his vast success in the music business (over 40 million albums sold!), he's still a regular guy who likes people. Like many of us, he's a bit oversized and has...

Gripped by violent demonstrations for weeks, Portland police quickly squashed protesters’ attempts to establish an autonomous zone similar to Seattle's by clearing barricades and closing down a park across from a courthouse. The Portland Police Bureau said in a press release Thursday morning that the city "has temporarily closed Chapman Square Park and Lownsdale Square Park.” Protesters had pitched the tents Tuesday night into early Wednesday in Lownsdale Park, across the street from the federal Pioneer Courthouse, which Homeland Security was protecting. At about 5 a.m. Thursday, the Portland Police Bureau helped the City of Portland temporarily close the two...

The death of industrial music pioneer and perpetual provocateur Genesis P-Orridge got me thinking. Not that I liked his "music." (I decline to use his preferred pronoun, "s/he.") But because P-Orridge died at age 70, I enjoyed picturing bummed out young "trans" poseurs learning through these obituaries that body modification and "gender fluidity" weren't their ideas. I also thought ­— not for the first time since the advent of what Steve Sailer calls "World War T" — about The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975.) The enduring cult film started out as a campy London stage musical that spoofed science fiction...

Don't knock meatloaf. It's gotten a bad rap. New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and his wife Mary Pat had lunch with President Donald Trump on Valentine's Day and, according to Christie, Trump made him have the White House meatloaf. "This is what it's like to be with Trump," Christie said during a guest host spot on a radio show on Thursday, according to the New York Post.
