Democrisy! If the left can accept Tim McBride and Will Thomas as women, why can’t Hannah Gann be accepted as black and ‘Palestinian’?

The credentialed media amuse me greatly , and none of them more than The Philadelphia Inquirer. After an article on Monday attempting to normalize transgenderism, which included a hyperlink to the newspaper spending “several months chronicling the lives of two transgender women making their way in rural Dauphin County,” Tuesday saw the editors tweeting about …

Twisted Logic, Shifting Morals: How High-Profile Trials Are Distorting American Justice

by

During my career with the Chicago Tribune, I covered my share of criminal and civil trials.  One thing I learned early on was to watch the jury for telltale reactions that might indicate how jurors were processing the evidence.

Living Behind Enemy Lines On Long Beach Peninsula, WA, Tale #114: Purging 300 Trumpsters, Recruiting 235+ Crazed Liberals

Living Behind Enemy Lines On Long Beach Peninsula, WA, Tale #113: Purging 300 Trumpsters, Recruiting 235+ Crazed Liberals

Word got around that senior center was being taken over by unhinged Liberal white women, so individuals and organizations who had signed rental agreements & put down deposits, started canceling & demanding refunds. Rentals WERE a large part of the center’s revenue.

If you have to lie and lie and lie, all for your raison d’être, perhaps your reason for living has always been a lie as well.

When my daughters were contemplating where they would go to college, I absolutely vetoed Temple University, not due to the school itself, but because I knew where it was located, in Philadelphia’s combat zone. The city has since cleaned up Broad Street, but go just one block deep off of Broad, and the same badlands that had been cleaned up on the main drag persisted.

It Took An Immigrant To Stand Up For American Values

Returning to Christianity, the “religion of life,” and standing up against the marriage of Islam the “religion of death,” & Liberalism, the cult of violence, is the only way we can remain a free & moral culture. LBJ’s “Great Society” pushed fathers out of the home to be replaced by Big Government.

AR Tactical: Can Your Rifle Even Reach 600 Yards?

by

Think you’re a rifleman? There’s only one way to find out. AR Tactical is one of the fastest-growing rifle sports in America, challenging everyday shooters to stretch their skills to 600 yards with practical rifles and real-world marksmanship. Along the way, even experienced competitors discover that old habits don’t always translate—and that’s part of the fun. The question is simple: Will your rifle even reach 600 yards?

Compulsive Precision Disorder: Why Long-Range Shooters Are Not Normal

by

Compulsive Precision Disorder (CPD) – Spend enough time around long-range competitive marksmen and you’ll notice something curious. They all have a little… something. They measure powder to the kernel, torque screws to inch-pounds, record weather conditions like NOAA meteorologists, and can spend an hour investigating a single 9-ring hit like it’s the JFK assassination.

To the average person, this borders on insanity.

To a competitive marksman, it’s called Tuesday.

The funny part? Those obsessive personality traits that might seem excessive everywhere else are exactly what the sport rewards. The target doesn’t care about excuses—it only rewards consistency. Maybe that’s why engineers, machinists, scientists, and military veterans seem to thrive on the firing line. In one of the few places on Earth where perfectionism actually pays dividends, a little Compulsive Precision Disorder isn’t a bug…

Before GPS, CAD, and LiDAR: The Guys With Chains Who Built Geometry Into the Earth

by

Before GPS, CAD, drones, and LiDAR, American military engineers were laying out massive forts with astonishing geometric precision using little more than chains, optical instruments, pencils, and a serious command of mathematics. Fort Wayne’s remarkable symmetry raises an irresistible question: brilliant engineering—or something more mysterious? From star-fort battlefield geometry to Freemasonry’s famous obsession with the square and compass, we separate the fascinating history from the conspiracy theories. The conclusion may be even more humbling: the old guys were really freaking good at math.

Practicing Law Behind Enemy Lines In Oregon, Tale #107: Creating Election Deniers

A generation ago, feminists like myself fought so hard to give women more control & more choices over their own lives. And we accomplished so much! Yet, Liberal women would deny half of Trump’s voters the women, the right to make their own decisions? American women must only vote for Hillary Clinton! Really?

The Questions That Refuse to Die

by

Every generation invents a new philosophy, a new guru, or a new formula for happiness. Yet the questions that have haunted humanity for thousands of years refuse to go away. Why are we here? Why does evil exist? Why do we long for justice? What gives life meaning? Long before self-help books, podcasts, and influencers, one book confronted those questions head-on. Whether you approach it with faith or skepticism, the Bible remains the only book that doesn’t simply tell us how to live—it first explains why life exists at all. Before dismissing its answers, perhaps we should ask whether any other worldview explains reality, morality, purpose, suffering, and the human condition more completely.

To Save Social Security Retirement, Stop Giving Disability Payments To Healthy People, Transfer Disability Fund To Retirement Fund

One thing I noticed during my 34 years (1986 to 2020) practicing law in Oregon, if you knew how to play the game, non-disabled people could “qualify” for monthly Social Security Disability benefits which, if one timed it right, would guarantee lifelong monthly payments more than the person would receive as a retiree.

America Didn’t Become More Political. It Became More Tribal

by

The real problem isn’t that America has two political parties—it’s that we’ve rediscovered tribalism. I remember growing up in the 1980s when your “tribe” was mostly your family, your neighborhood, your church, or the people your parents spent time with. Democrats and Republicans certainly disagreed, but most Americans weren’t immersed in the other side’s outrage 24 hours a day. Social media changed that. Today we’re constantly exposed to the loudest, angriest voices from the “other tribe,” and algorithms profit by keeping us divided, suspicious, and emotionally invested in conflict. Every insult, every viral clip, and every political flashpoint reinforces the idea that our fellow Americans are enemies rather than neighbors. When political hatred escalates into threats or acts of violence—including attacks targeting public figures—it should remind us that tribalism, left unchecked, stops being politics and starts becoming something far more dangerous. A constitutional republic cannot survive if our highest loyalty is to the tribe instead of to the principles that bind us together.

Recess on the Road: A Pardon from Adulthood

I am in the backseat of our van, sitting in a tiny, hollowed-out cavern of stuff.

We are traveling to Tennessee and Kentucky this weekend where I will be performing my one-man shipwreck at theaters where, if I’m lucky, I’ll get a standing ovation like a few nights ago. Although to be fair, the ovation was moving toward the exits. Also, they weren’t clapping.
