Aristotle
One of Plato’s students was Aristotle. After spending time as the tutor to Alexander the Great (before he was “the Great”) Aristotle formed his own school called the Lyceum.

Boss Newsom’s Empire of Waste, Fraud & Mismanagement
Those of us who live in this mismanaged, Democrat-ruled dung-show are keenly aware that Gov. “Hair Gel” has already relentlessly trashed the “Golden State.”
The Modern Plato
As I was responsible yesterday for your overconsumption of wine, perhaps I can offer amends today. Remember that in the discussion of the nature of a chair, Plato hypothesized that the form of a chair existed separately from the existence of any particular chair or of the craftsman who make them. That form did not depend on space or …
What is Good
In Plato’s “Republic” he sets about to explore what is the good life. In that analysis he discusses the very nature of goodness.
Yet another public school teacher accused of trying to become sexually involved with a student
There was no one more disappointed than I was when The Philadelphia Inquirer and then-Philadelphia District Attorney Seth Williams started going after the Archdiocese of Philadelphia for covering up sexual abuses by Catholic priests, or the horrible statistics when the John Jay Report, The Nature and Scope of Sexual Abuse of Minors by Catholic Priests …

You in a heap o’ trouble, girl!
Color me shocked that The Philadelphia Inquirer published the photo of an accused criminal. Technically, it isn’t a mugshot, so perhaps it’s allowed under a very narror interpretation of the newspaper’s stated mugshot policy. but I couldn’t find the newspaper’s Twitter — I refuse to call it 𝕏 — blurb, so I screen captured the …
The 10-to-4 Problem: What Rimfire Teaches That Centerfire Hides
At distances out to 100 yards, the differences between rimfire and centerfire aren’t subtle—they are foundational. A .22 LR match round leaves the muzzle at roughly 1050 feet per second, already flirting with the sound barrier and quickly settling into subsonic flight. Compare that to a typical centerfire round—say a .308—moving at nearly three times that speed, carrying significantly higher ballistic efficiency, and backed by a rigid, jacketed bullet designed to punch through the air rather than cooperate with it.
TSSA: $10 Billion for Airports, $0 for Kids: America’s Backward Security Priorities
There’s a quiet absurdity baked into modern America, and like most absurdities, we’ve lived with it so long we stopped questioning it. Every day, the federal government spends billions protecting people who fly occasionally—while leaving tens of millions of children sitting in classrooms with wildly inconsistent security. Let that sink in. We’ve normalized a system where you can’t bring a bottle of water through an airport without federal scrutiny, but your kid can walk into a school where security depends entirely on the zip code.
This Time We’re Smarter: The Most Dangerous Lie Every Generation Tells Itself
Every few generations, a fresh batch of true believers shows up convinced they’ve cracked the code that baffled every civilization before them. Not tweaked it. Not improved it. Solved it. Permanently. The pitch is always the same—just with better branding, cleaner fonts, and a heavy dose of moral certainty.

The Weaponization of Children
Indoctrination of school children is nothing new. It started shortly after President Carter established the US Department of Education, slowly, unnoticed by most parents. President Obama accelerated the indoctrination to a delusional level by forcing transgender ideology and CRT on kids as young as age 5.
AI for Me, Not for Thee: When Students Get Punished for What Leaders Get Paid to Do
A couple years ago, when ChatGPT first exploded onto the scene, I was teaching at a Christian school. My philosophy with technology has always been simple: learn it before you fear it. Every major technological shift in history has followed the same pattern—first confusion, then panic, then acceptance once people realize it’s not going away. So I did what teachers are supposed to do. I explained the technology to my students.

The Political Daycare: How Washington Manages Voters Like Toddlers
Politicians understand something about human nature that civics textbooks politely ignore: most voters do not follow policy, read legislation, or track long-term economic trends. They respond to a handful of very simple signals. Think of it as the national political dashboard. There are four blinking lights that determine whether the public is happy or furious.
Iran: The Revolution That Ate Its Own Children – A Brief History
When Americans think about Iran, the story usually begins in 1979—angry crowds, burning flags, and a stern cleric named Ayatollah Khomeini taking control of the country. But that snapshot hides something important. Iran—historically Persia—is one of the world’s oldest civilizations. Its history stretches back thousands of years, and the country that emerged after 1979 is not the inevitable outcome of Persian history. In many ways, it was a political accident born from revolution, miscalculation, and a brutal consolidation of power.
