I never thought of myself as a conservative. Still don’t, entirely.
My politics shifted the way Hemingway described going broke — slowly, then all at once. Historical guilt, DEI, the casual redefinition of reality by people who consider common sense a form of oppression. None of it happened overnight, and neither did my response to it.
I bit my tongue for years. No more.
“Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.”
― H.L. Mencken
If you want the longer version of how I got here, it's here.
What you’ll find here:
Political and cultural commentary that doesn’t mistake politeness for virtue. I also write for Wrong Speak, where I publish twice per month.
And I’m writing fiction — speculative, politically inflected, the kind that probably won’t get adapted by Netflix. The first chapter is out. More are coming.
