Matt Kibbe sits down with P.J. O’Rourke, author of “A Cry from the Far Middle,” to talk about the polarization of 21st-century America. O’Rourke’s brand of commonsense centrism holds that it’s bad to give anyone too much power, especially the government, but that we’ve lost these basic truths as we spend more time on social media playing politics as a team sport. The problems that George Orwell warned us about have ultimately become self-inflicted, but that also means that we [Read More]

Even IMDb admitted the movies contained scenes that are lawfully defined as pedophilia — though that content warning has predictably been deleted. Elsewhere, Burger King released a "Love Conquers All" ad [Read More]
