By Jonathon Van Maren So it turns out that if you remain utterly comatose for an entire nine-hour flight, the stewardess may get worried. She obviously had not heard that travel clinics now dispense sleeping pills to “help deal with jetlag,” so I gulped one down during takeoff from Amsterdam, wondered briefly if it would…
By Jonathon Van Maren I anticipated that quite a few people would disagree with my analysis of Milo Yiannopoulos after attending one of his speaking gigs at Michigan State University last week, but I was mildly surprised at a few of the points of disagreement. He’s brilliant! some said, which is something I do not…
By Jonathon Van Maren Behold! Behold! I bring glad tidings–glad tidings of great joy, to you and to all people! Thus rang the voices of the Hosanna Choir to sing of the birth of the King. For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given. His name shall be called Jesus,…

By Jonathon Van Maren People may be sick of me posting columns detailing the hellish reality of porn culture, but I’m going to keep beating this drum until people start listening. Here are two recent stories that are representative of the level of evil pulsing just beneath the surface of the porn plague. From The…
By Jonathon Van Maren Now this I did not expect: The Atlantic recently posted an article breaking down statistics that prove the majority of Americans think that watching porn is morally wrong. Of course, most Americans also watch porn, so I was very sceptical when I read the headline. So, apparently, is noted pervert provocateur…
By Jonathon Van Maren Since the election, we’ve seen the mainstream press exhibit every imaginable reaction, from paroxysms of rage and grief to contemplation and soul-searching. Will Rahn, for example, had this to say over at CBS News: Trump knew what he was doing when he invited his crowds to jeer and hiss the reporters…
By Jonathon Van Maren As most of you will know by now, 19-year-old Sam Oosterhoff became the youngest-ever Member of Provincial Parliament in Ontario’s history last night. An overnight political sensation, the media first noticed Oosterhoff when he beat Patrick Brown’s personal pick, Progressive Conservative Party leader Rick Dykstra, for the nomination, and immediately began…
