Series: The Birth Control Pill and Its Lasting Impact on Society; Part 1
This series is about the Birth Control Pill and its lasting effect on societies. Today: Part 1; The Birth Control Pill – What It Is and How It Works
Constitution
DOGE—Killer Clowns and Virtue
The Hippocratic oath tells the doctor to do first no harm. Yet that is what a surgeon has to do. Sometimes we need to do harm to do good. The trick is to balance the harm and good, so the good far outweighs the harm.
The Truth About 3D-Printed Guns: Why Governments Fear Them and Why They’ll Fail to Ban Them
If you thought the Second Amendment was clear, Michigan’s recent attempts to outlaw 3D-printed firearms prove that clarity means nothing to politicians looking for control. The state’s latest ghost gun legislation mandates serial numbers on homemade firearms, threatens prison time for ownership, and in classic bureaucratic fashion, assumes criminals will suddenly start following gun laws. …
DOGE: Transparency and Truth

The “Reasonableness” Factor
Discretionary wording is found throughout the Constitution and its Amendments.
Article I: “Each house MAY determine the rules….”

DOGE: Transparency vs Secrecy; Thieftaking vs Investigation
Is DOGE a thief, a thieftaker (modern usage: bounty hunter) or a diversion? With all the contradictory reports and poor information, it is hard to tell what they are. Both judicial review and thieftaking are rooted in English Common Law, but those that use judicial review are loath to employ thieftaking. To make matters even more complex and muddled, DOGE has not taken a single thief yet, but stories abound about Musk companies getting sweetheart deals. What is the truth? Few know for sure since most of DOGE’s work is done behind shuttered windows with maybe a few slats left open to tantalize the populace. We need open windows and actionable information.
DOGE: Change Agent or Wrecking Ball?
I don’t think we want DOGE to be just a wrecking ball. If DOGE is not a change agent than the Trump administration needs to identify the change agent(s) and develop change management plans. Someone needs to be the architects that re-build government with the Constitution as a blueprint. If we do not rebuild, the tear down will leave us to the barbarians at the gates. Is DOGE a change agent, an audit agent, or just a wrecking ball?
Not All Humans Are Angels—But Are They Even Humans Anymore?
James Madison once famously said, “If men were angels, no government would be necessary.” The idea is simple: human beings are inherently flawed, prone to greed, selfishness, and the occasional bout of idiocy.
The Military: America’s Favorite Social Experiment Lab

Secession’s Hotel California
England’s King George III found out the hard way that the very genesis of the American ethos is running our own affairs liberated from bureaucratic control.
Corrupt DC: Out – Constituent Service. In – Crony Service

The Founders’ Vision: How America Drifted from Citizen Defense to a Standing Army
The Second Amendment is one of the most misunderstood and misrepresented rights in American history.
Government Control of Amateur Radio: A Threat to Free Speech and Communication
Regulations, though framed as measures to prevent interference and ensure public safety, effectively limit the free expression of individuals by subjecting their personal communications to governmental oversight.
The First Steps of Tyranny: Disarming and Silencing the People
History has shown that every authoritarian regime follows a similar pattern: first, they take away your right to defend yourself, and then they take away your right to speak.
No, Trump Does NOT Have to Abide by Mythical “Judicial Supremacy”
It’s an old story: When people are allowed to get their way for too long, when they’re never told “No!” they may get too big for their britches.
The Path to Glory
Today, we Americans are marching to a new ‘Path to Glory” for our country much as our founders and ancestors had to do.
Why Democrats Hate Hegseth
Democrats may have lost the military. In his first term, the four stars kept Trump from being the actual commander-in-chief blocking him with Milley, Mattis and Marx leading the way.
Trump’s Executive Order Seeks to Restore Second Amendment Protections
On February 7, 2025, President Donald Trump signed an executive order titled “Protecting Second Amendment Rights,” directing a comprehensive review of federal actions taken from January 2021 through January 2025 that may have infringed upon Americans’ constitutional right to keep and bear arms.

USAID: America’s Most Generous Slush Fund for Rogue Warlords
For decades, the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) has been America’s feel-good, do-good, taxpayer-funded piggy bank—or at least, that’s what they want you to believe.
