Veteran character actor Robert Davi (of Licensed to Kill, Die Hard, and The Goonies among others) shares his heartbreak in a quiet, powerful video in response to New York's barbaric new abortion law: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HKjlp9DQ0Vk Money quote: "You really think you can rip a baby from its mother's womb at nine months and it's ok?" This is the … Continue reading Robert Davi Speaks the Truth

Traditional Masculinity with Larry Correia
After all the nonsense we've heard in the news lately about 'toxic masculinity,' a restorative seems in order. To that end, I offer another fisk by the incomparable Larry Correia. In this one, Mr. Correia tears into a painfully ignorant and narrow-minded piece listing 'obsolete' male skills and in the process demonstrates what real manhood … Continue reading Traditional Masculinity with Larry Correia
Discussing Changes at Catholic Match
In today's post at 'Catholic Match,' I give advice on when you should ask your significant other to change: In the first place, let’s be clear that you do have the right to ask your significant other to ‘change’ in some way. When you enter a relationship with someone, your life is no longer quite your own, and … Continue reading Discussing Changes at Catholic Match
At the Everyman, Extra Ecclesiam Nulla Salus
The Everyman asked me to tackle the question of salvation outside the Church, following Bishop Barron's infamous interview with Ben Shapiro. Fortunately, I'd just been reading up some on the subject. This one's probably gonna generate some controversy; if you have a comment, please either leave it at the 'Everyman' site, or under this post. … Continue reading At the Everyman, Extra Ecclesiam Nulla Salus

Sticking up for ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’
So, a few days back, someone posted an attack on It's a Wonderful Life in the 'Boston Herald,' criticizing it, not only as a bad film, but as promoting socialism. It was a very poorly done piece, of the "make a bold claim, then support it with a sarcastic comment" variety, but since the point of view … Continue reading Sticking up for ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’
It’s a Wonderful Life at Catholic Match
If anyone were to ask what I think the best movie ever made is (understanding there's objectively no such thing), I would probably say It's a Wonderful Life. I might do a piece going into why I think this, but in the meantime I get to give some idea of why in today's piece on Catholic Match. I … Continue reading It’s a Wonderful Life at Catholic Match
First Post up at ‘The Everyman’
My first post is up at the new Catholic / Conservative commentary site The Everyman, which you definitely should check out. It's only a week or two old, but there's some good stuff there. In our day, of course, telescopic charity has never been easier. We have television and the internet to bring us tales of … Continue reading First Post up at ‘The Everyman’
New Catholic Match Post on Holding Doors
My latest Catholic Match post is up, dealing with the subject of holding a door for a lady. The great ideal of chivalry has, in our time, largely been reduced to things like “hold the door for a woman.” As it’s largely been stripped of its context, some of us are even questioning this last … Continue reading New Catholic Match Post on Holding Doors
Yes, Virginia, ‘Die Hard’ is a Christmas Movie
My latest piece is up at The Federalist, and it's all about the Christmas classic Die Hard and what makes it a Christmas movie. Since the question hinges on there being a difference between a Christmas movie proper and a movie set around Christmas, it seems that a Christmas movie proper is a film that has some … Continue reading Yes, Virginia, ‘Die Hard’ is a Christmas Movie
