Trump Opens a Can of Worms – On Purpose
Trump calls the tellers of tall tales, who call themselves journalists, “fake news” — and took some much-needed action against them. The left went nuts while MAGA giggled on the sidelines.
John Green
Where Did This “Your Reality” Nonsense Come From?
How many people have been conditioned to think in terms of “their reality” versus “someone else’s reality”? That would explain a lot.
Gabe’s DNA Donors Still Don’t Get Parenthood
I’m calling Gilkar and Ahmed custodians rather than parents of baby Gabriel. The legal system has given them custody, but only their behavior can make them parents – a test which they have failed miserably.
Do We Have a Spending or Revenue Crisis?
MAKE THE RICH PAY THEIR FAIR SHARE! But, do the guys with the private jets and their names on big buildings even have enough money stashed to balance Uncle Sam’s checkbook? My being an engineer, I figured math could answer that question.
Chief Justice Roberts Paints Himself into an Ethical Corner
Is Chief Justice John Roberts a judge who follows the law and the evidence to a conclusion, or a judge who cherry-picks the law and evidence to arrive at his opinion? I think we’re going to find out in the coming months.
Fauci Breaks the Reagan Rule – 111 Times
When President Reagan was negotiating the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty with the Soviet Union, he repeatedly said his rule was “Trust but verify.” Those simple three words summarize a truism about human nature. Trust is only possible in an environment of transparency and accountability. It cannot exist when the party demanding trust, is also hiding the truth.
Chelsea Clinton’s Abortion Math Is Messed Up
Now that all the left’s principled arguments for abortion have fallen apart, Chelsea Clinton has come to the rescue with an economic argument.
Gabriel Delivers a Message in Texas
The angel Gabriel appears four times in the Bible. Each time, as an emissary delivering a message from God. Is God’s messenger visiting us again – this time in the body of a frail newborn baby, confronting us with truths we’ve been avoiding?
The Blessing of This Midterm Election – Clarity
In this third decade of the 21st century, the takeover of the Democrat party by the Democratic Socialists of America is giving us a clear choice. We will cast our ballot knowing that we are choosing either the messiness of individual liberty, or the servitude of collectivism.
Robert Riech Rages at Centrism
Robert Reich published an article to gripe about fascism, while arguing for fascism, while seeming to think his logic is sound.
The Ragin Cajun Rages at His Creation
An open letter to James “The Ragin Cajun” Carville — the man who coarsened politics more than any other human in my lifetime.
As Government Grows, Our Freedom Shrinks
The size of our government should concern us because freedom wanes as government grows. As our government grows, the thing that makes America exceptional shrinks – our individual freedom to manage our affairs.
Was Biden’s Mental Deficit Really Such a Bad Thing
Why is the conservative media talking about old Joe being a “taco short of a combination plate,” as if it’s a bad thing?
Does the Filibuster Still Serve a Purpose?
The Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act (SAVE) has ripped the scab off of the festering wound we call the Senate filibuster. Requiring proof of citizenship to vote, is favored by over 80 percent of the electorate – at least of those voters who can legally vote. Its passage should be a no-brainer. But apparently the Senate lacks the brains for a no-brainer.
The World Has Thugs, Big and Small
The world is filled with thugs – big and small. Whether they were created by nature or nurture is immaterial. They’ve been a fact of nature since Adam and Eve’s first born, murdered his little brother. Thinking we can prevent their existence with compassion and participation trophies is dangerously naïve.
Is It Time for a Few Judicial Consequences?
In a just country, those in criminal justice who violate their oath would be punished more harshly than petty criminals. Apparently, America can no longer claim to be a just county.
Texas Fights for State Rights – Idaho Sits It Out
There are a couple of recent articles, describing the debate underway in two states: Texas and Idaho. Both articles sound very similar in ideology, referencing the 10th Amendment, and arguing for states’ rights. But the actions of the two states couldn’t be more different.
We’ve Been Living in A House of Dynamite
About a year ago, my wife and I watched Netflix’s A House of Dynamite, and found it mildly entertaining. We watched it again last week and found it disturbingly chilling.
Joe Biden Felt Lucky, But Wasn’t
Greek mythology says that hubris (excessive pride) inevitably meets Nemesis (the goddess of retribution). When a man’s ambition exceeds his ability, calamity ensues. Well the Grand Poohbah of unjustified pride has to be Joseph Robinette Biden – who suffers the curse of concurrent arrogance and stupidity.
Graham Platner: Material Boy
I wonder if Graham Platner (DSA-Maine) is a Madonna fan. I only ask because he seems like a real material boy; someone with a lust for life’s finer things – especially those that belong to other people.
