Dangers In The Cloud
The public cloud, for those not in the IT industry, is a group of computer service providers that provide IT services (at cost) to almost every company in the US today, along with the Federal Government, as well as many foreign countries.
Regulatory Capture
Regulatory Capture occurs when a government regulation affecting consumers is based on information from lobbyists rather than good science. The replacement of Freon in air conditioners with r134 is a classic example of this.
National Public Radio
NPR today is a disgrace to the profession of journalism. It is completely unrecognizable from its beginning as an independent, and mostly unbiased news service. It has become little more than a Democratic party propaganda service. And that includes climate change, which is extremely easy to fact-check.
History Denial and Presidential Immunity
No group in this country ignores US history more than the Democratic party. They love to ignore that the Democratic party started the Civil War and is the party of Jim Crow.
The Paris Treaty – Actual Grounds for Impeachment

Countries That Used to be Free

Apparently not: Reading my tweet, in which pointed out (to the Kansas City Star newspaper) the well-known fact of the high level of mental …
Proving Vote fraud Takes Legwork and Lots of It
Proving vote fraud requires a lot of legwork. You have to be willing start at the precinct level and work your way up the chain to where ballots are tabulated.
Secondhand Lions & The Teaching of Manhood
I have always liked a good movie with a message too. One of the best, and yet underrated movies that I have ever watched is called “Secondhand Lions.”
The United Methodist Church on Climate Change
If you look at the set of beliefs professed by any mainline Church, they will tell you that they believe in God. They will tell you that everyone has sinned and fallen short of what God wants. And they will tell you that you can be forgiven. And perhaps the most important claim by any …
We Have to be Careful
A very common Democrat talking point is that most Americans favor some form of reasonable gun control. And it is true that most people do. The problem with that is that we know history. If we start with some reasonable laws about firearms, that don’t actually prevent every single murder using a firearm, the left will immediately proceed to unreasonable limits.
The Most Damaging Lie
Over the course of these 6 years of attacks on Donald Trump, the number of lies has become innumerable. But I asked myself today, what is the most damaging lie they have told?
30,000 Lies
I sometimes think that the least self-aware people in the entire country are reporters on the major news media.
Accountability?
When will our elected, appointed and career bureaucrat officials be held accountable?
Jan 6
As I write this, the Great American Public has been subjected to the first days of the tightly scripted and thoroughly rehearsed public portions of the hearings about the events of January 6.
Once Upon a Time
Once upon a time, the ACLU stood for something. Its official statement was that it stood for the rights guaranteed in the Bill of Rights.
