An Excerpt from Dempsey’s Book “Trump Again!? How Could America Let This Happen?” Third Rails: Religion & Politics It is not lost on this writer that faith-based discussions often land on “deaf ears” (or perhaps to keep the analogy I will say “blind eyes”). There is a reason why wise folks attest that in polite […]
Curated by Sean Dempsey (from other thought leaders) Since the CIA, State Department, and other U.S. intelligence agencies have confirmed countless times that Iran was not engaged in a nuclear weapons program, there are several competing theories for why the United States and Israel ultimately moved toward direct (unprovoked) war with Iran in 2025 despite […]
J’Accuse this inept and corrupt administration! J’Accuse it not in defense of a foreign regime, nor in blind loyalty to any rival power, but in defense of TRUTH itself, which is forever the first casualty of dogged empire. J’Accuse those who would drape every reckless adventure abroad in the crimson flag of patriotism, as though […]
by Sean Dempsey03/01/2026 I staunchly believe President Trump should be impeached from office for war crimes and for violating his oath of office with respect to unilaterally waging a war without seeking authorization from Congress, as is constitutionally required under Article 1 Section 8 of the US Constitution.

By Sean Dempsey February 12, 2026 Today’s Republican Party often resembles an 11-year-old boy’s action-figure fantasy. Many in the GOP base, predominantly angry men, are acting out a macho daydream: blustering about “toughness” toward enemies foreign and domestic.

It is, I assure the reader, entirely true, having been performed not upon the floor of Parliament nor the pages of moralist tracts, but in a respectable laboratory, by a respectable scientist, using respectable mice. In the Year of our Lord […]
By Sean Dempsey, 04/03/25 In hindsight, 2024 will likely be chronicled in history books as the year when the postmodern fever broke—an era marked by an unchecked commitment to relativism, the absurd elevation of subjectivity, and an almost religious rejection of objective truth. Beauty was no longer allowed to exist on its own terms; instead, […]
By Sean Dempsey, 03/23/25 “The main idea of the novel is to depict the positively good man. There is nothing more difficult than this in the world, especially nowadays… the task is immeasurable…” – Fyodor Dostoevsky In the intricate interplay of characters and their societal backdrops, the portrayal of characters imbued with an almost divine […]
To Those Just Now Waking Up—Where Have You Been? By Sean Dempsey, 3/20/25 Oh, so now you see it? Now, after decades of rampant government abuse, after endless wars, after a surveillance state that tracks your every move, after a Federal Reserve that devalues your savings into dust—now you’re realizing that the U.S. government doesn’t follow the Constitution?

The Postmodernists applaud when grifters and the mentally compromised enter women’s sports leagues. They call this “acceptance.” The Postmodernists applaud consumerism and the shaving of our gold coins; they label this “stimulus.” The Postmodernists celebrate child abusers who mutilate the fragile bodies and psyches of the impressionable young. They call this “progressive.” The Postmodernists bathe […]
