Why do we act in other than our self-interest? Is the rational actor/choice theory valid?
Why do we act in other than our self-interest? Is the rational actor/choice theory valid? Over a few blog entries (see the Defending the Republic series), I have wondered why people who do not seem to benefit from social justice efforts support and endorse them. Why would a white male push an agenda designed to …
FBI complains search terms in House subpoena for Biden doc too broad, Comer narrows it down: ‘$5 million’
House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) issued a subpoena to the FBI on May 3 to obtain an unclassified FD-1023 which allegedly details a bribery scheme between then-Vice President Joe Biden and a foreign national. As I reported on Tuesday, the FBI refused to hand over the document by the original compliance date and …
Crazy Democrats
Among all the Democrats in this great country there are surely a few remaining with good old common sense, or at least an inclination to dig a little deeper to find out the facts.
Let’s Call Them What They Are – Communists
Let’s recognize our domestic enemies for what they are. They’re trying to ease us into a communal existence where individuals serve the needs of the state – and are otherwise expendable. They’re communists.
Why are companies committing corporate suicide to promote transgenderism?
Ahead of June’s “Pride Month,” retail giant Target introduced a line of women’s swimwear with “tuck-friendly construction” and “extra crotch coverage.” Posting photos of two swimsuits from the new line, Comedian Chrissie Mayr tweeted: “Thanks to @Target I found the perfect swimsuit for creeping out all the women and children at the pool this summer. …

FBI to James Comer: Pound Sand
During a Monday meeting with House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-KY), the FBI refused once again to turn over an FD-1023 (a report from an informant) that allegedly details a bribery scheme between then-Vice President Joe Biden and a foreign national. Comer issued a subpoena for this document three weeks ago. In a May …
A Valuable Gas; The Benefits Of Carbon Dioxide
I recently read an interesting article in the Range Magazine for Winter 2022, Bits and Spurs pp 26-27. The author, Robb Kendrick, says that he worked for National Geographic for 32 years. I am sure it is evident that if someone has worked for National Geographic for 32 years they are probably not predisposed to …
There is no danger of default. There never was.
We go through this unnecessary angst every time there is an impasse between Americans who wish to run a fiscally sound government on one side, and leftist Democrats along with their RINO enablers on the other.
The Cataclysm to Come
When nations die, they do so with surprising speed. Ernest Hemingway made a similar observation when a person in his novel was asked how he went bankrupt, and his reply was, “Gradually, then suddenly.”
Human Secularist Totalitarianism in These United States
Human Secularist Totalitarianism is mouthful. Way too long for a bumper sticker. HST is a lousy acronym and already belongs to former President Truman. Yet, knowing what this long label means is important to every American. Human Secular Totalitarianism spawned the latest evil ideas to contend in our politics and, consequently, every aspect of our …
Welcome to the ‘Endarkenment’ – the media has completely abdicated its responsibility
The significance of the passage of time – to quote our esteemed Vice President Kamala Harris – is that it takes the urgency out of even the most despicable actions. The Durham report, coming so long after the corruption occurred, was readily dismissed as a nothingburger by the legacy media who easily convinced viewers that …
High School Boys Send a Clear Message to Trans-obsessed State Legislators – Report
A group of boys at Lakeridge High School in Lake Oswego, Oregon, showed state lawmakers exactly what they thought of HB 3294, the “Menstrual Dignity Act,” legislation that passed in 2021.

Things on Which Conservatives Should Agree
For conservatives, one of the biggest disappointments over the past few decades of political evolution in America is the consistent inability of the GOP to clearly and strongly articulate and pursue an agenda that reflects conservative principles. Even when a strong conservative President, e.g., Ronald Reagan, takes the helm, there are always more than a …
Thomas Galloway: The Real Face of BLM
In April of 2021, President Joe Biden made the following statement on live television: We won’t ignore what our intelligence agencies have determined to be the most lethal terrorist threat to our homeland today: White supremacy is terrorism. Joe Biden But what if I told you there was a far more insidious terror group active …
Twitter is Lying
Twitter is Lying; I know many people think that with Elon Musk owning twitter, then perhaps the rational people had won a round in the fight for the soul of our country. 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 …
Political Parody As a Weapon, Part LXXXVII
Political Parody As a Weapon, Part LXXXVII; “A predictable sad ending to an investigation that never should have taken place.”

I’ve lost my country and can’t seem to find it. Did I misplace it, or has it been changed so much by the woke, hateful left, that it is no longer recognizable?
Science, Policy, and Politics
Many government policies enter the realm of the hard sciences. Most government policies touch on the dismal science of economics. All government policies are influenced by political science – and are politics by definition. So, our challenge is when science itself is a political calculation and not a scientific determination.
