What are the minimum duties that a government is expected to perform and is our government meeting those minimal expectations?

First of all, it is the duty of government to protect the life and property of law-abiding citizens. As a Christian conservative, I would include the life of the unborn in that declaration. If government cannot or will not protect the citizens and their property from harm what purpose is there in having it?

Yesterday I received the Founder’s Kit from Jeremy’s Razors. As you can see from the picture, I don’t spend a lot of time shaving, but I don’t want to look like Santa Claus. However, I do shave most days and keep my beard well-trimmed. My son had ordered the kit several months ago when he first watched the Daily Wire commercial embedded below. The kit contains a nice weighted razor handle, shave cream, post-shave balm, and eight blades. Why did Jeremy Boreing, the CEO of the Daily Wire, start a razor company?

Most people have heard the folktale of the Emperor’s New Clothes. What is a Woman is the darker side of the ideological blindness that drives the older tale. Part of the intensity of this Daily Wire documentary is watching Matt Walsh travel all over North America and beyond to find the modern answer to a question that has had a universally accepted definition since the dawn of time. In the film, Matt Walsh strives to get a simple answer to the question “What is a woman.” We might be amused by all the fumbling attempts at answers but, that hides an evil directed at our children.

“What greater wealth is there than to own your life and to spend it on growing?” That is a quote from the novel Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand. Some books become so intertwined with the culture that they must be read to fully understand what it means to be an American. In the political sense of that awareness are books like Democracy in America by Alexis De Tocqueville, 1984 by George Orwell, and Atlas Shrugged, the most extensive statement of Rand’s philosophy of Objectivism. Released in 1957, the novel received many critical reviews but it has been cited by readers as a very influential novel and it remains a best seller.

You’re sure you didn’t do anything wrong. It was just a political rally. At worst you trespassed, like hundreds of others with you. However, this is a free country and the buildings belong to the people. Don’t they? Then, before dawn a few days or weeks later, the FBI arrived at your home. They broke down your front door. They handcuff you, your wife, and children. Then the FBI threw you in jail and you’ve been in solitary confinement ever since. You don’t even know what you’re charged with. That’s the country described in the documentary Capitol Punishment.

If significant ballot fraud occurred during the 2020 election a criminal investigation should be conducted and those responsible sent to jail. Did significant fraud occur? CBS News quotes unnamed election officials as saying the 2020 election was the “most secure in American history.” Is there evidence of rampant fraud and did it alter the outcome of the election? The ninety-minute documentary film 2000 Mules answers that question.

Ben Shapiro is a brand within The Daily Wire brand. He’s a founder and editor of the site and hosts a daily podcast and a live radio show. Perhaps that isn’t enough to keep him busy because last year he created a new video podcast titled Debunked, which I’ll discuss in detail later.

Part two in our higher education series.

Many private schools are as liberal as their public counterparts. However, if you are looking for a truly conservative college or university you will be looking among the private schools. As pointed out in part one of this series, modern colleges and universities are a minefield of liberal ideology. Safe spaces and speech codes help snowflake students avoid micro-aggressions from conservative speakers.

There is a saying don’t judge a book by its cover. In the case of The Hyperions, the saying should go, don’t judge a movie by its trailer. This is The Daily Wire’s third release in just over a year. While Run Hide Fight and Shut In were deadly serious, The Hyperions is a humorous take on the superhero genre and arguably the least political Daily Wire movie to date.

I recently reviewed Laptop from Hell by Miranda Devine. That story of greed and grift in the Biden family reminded me of a book I had read years ago, Clinton Cash written by Peter Schweizer in 2015. While the details of the influence-peddling were different, the motive was the same—greed. Because of the similarities, I retrieved my copy and read it again for this review.

I’ve been pondering this meme.

My oldest son forwarded this one to me and it has got me thinking. Most social media memes aren’t worth the time it takes to create them but, occasionally there is one that stands out.

Many think that Christmas, not Easter, is the most important holy day of the Christian year and many of them don’t know the story of Barabbas.

As internet privacy concerns have grown so has DuckDuckGo with over ten million daily searches on average. However, in a recent tweet, DDG founder and CEO, Gabriel Weinberg, stated that the company would update its search algorithm to down-rank Russian disinformation sites and they would pause its relationship with the Russian-state-owned search engine Yandex. This has outraged some users.

Christian Toto is a journalist, conservative movie critic, and editor of the website Hollywood in Toto. So, his view on how wokism has taken hold on the movie industry is insightful and important for those both inside and outside the industry. His book, Virtue Bombs: How Hollywood Got Woke and Lost its Soul, uses 231 pages to divide the topic into its many parts. Covering Hollywood culture, the woke movies they make, censoring comedians and actors, and how to fight back among, other related topics.

A “disheveled man, smelling of booze and cigarettes” drops off a laptop for repair at a Wilmington, Delaware, computer shop. After examining the liquid-damaged device, the proprietor, John Paul Mac Isaac, asks for the owner’s name and has him sign the work order. Later, Mac Isaac retrieves the data from the laptop and makes several unsuccessful attempts to contact the owner.

The disheveled owner of the laptop was Hunter Biden.

Yesterday, my phone rang and a mechanical voice informed me, “Due to unusual activity, your social security account had been frozen and you will not receive future deposits. To correct this issue stay on the line and speak with a representative.” I slammed the phone down.

On my most recent driving excursion, I heard the Democrat mayor of Los Angeles, Eric Garcetti, announce the relaxation of some COVID-19 restrictions he had imposed upon business and the movement of citizens in the city. With that, he said, “let's continue to earn this freedom.”

Part one in our higher education series.

When parents send a child to college they expect that, in return for the huge financial cost, their son or daughter will receive significant academic benefit equipping them for a future career. However, instead of promoting educational rigor, many colleges focus on sports, cultural fads, or progressive memes.

People might expect movies produced by conservatives to have a bland story, stiff acting with a heavy dose of pandering. Shut In has none of those issues. It’s not a perfect movie, it has a slow start but it really picks up, and along the way, it has a lot of surprises.

Early in January, I was watching Fox News when host Greg Gutfeld declared that the Pandemic would be over for him on February 1st. Greg wasn’t being a prophet. He regularly mixes humor and politics. In this case, he spoke with a mix of humor and frustration. He decided the first of February would be the day he would stop worrying about the virus.

When GoFundMe blocked donations to the Canadian truckers, GiveSendGo stepped up and, at last report, has raised $5 million. Today, the trucker blockade remains and they continue to raise funds for food and fuel on GiveSendGo.
