When the political discourse of your age has whittled itself down to such ranting characters as Donald Trump and Greta Thunberg, you may be certain that politics has ended, and something else has taken its place — something ugly, soulless, and brutal. Donald Trump is a laughably stupid vulgarian “businessman” who has successfully raped the fragile minds of tens of millions of true...
Roger Federer has won more Grand Slam tennis titles than any other man in history. He has spent more weeks as the number one ranked player in the world than anyone else, including 237 consecutive weeks at one stage (that’s four-and-a-half years, for the arithmetically challenged).

Teenage climate communist prop Greta Thunberg just gave a speech at the UN in which she threw a proxy temper tantrum at her parents (whom she thinly disguised as the adults of the world), spewing out her promise to hate, hate, hate them forever, and never, never, never forgive them for “stealing her childhood,” “betraying her,” and “failing her” — by making her...
A sixteen-year-old Swedish girl, Greta Thunberg, sits sternly, arms folded, facing members of the United States Congress, the elected representatives of the American people. Having previously submitted a decrepit, thoroughly discredited UN document (the IPCC’s climate Armageddon fantasy report), the earliest iterations of which the congressmen have been familiar with since before this girl was born, she now declares, peremptorily, “I don’t want...
