The Golden Standard
The Golden Rule is older than you might think. The first reference to The Rule comes from ancient Egypt, roughly 2000 BCE. “Do for one who may do for you, that you may cause him thus to do.”

Is America Not Ready For A Woman As President? Or Just Not These Women
There are women out there qualified for high office. But being a woman is not a qualification in and of itself.
Trump’s 50-Year Mortgage Idea Isn’t Radical — It’s a Wake-Up Call
Many in the press have enjoyed taking pot shots at President Donald Trump for his recent recommendation that the banking community make 50 year mortgages available to prospective homeowners.
Not One Penny More
The last penny has been minted. The humble American “pence” shall be no more. It’s too expensive to produce. It just doesn’t make sense. No pun implied.
The Cult of the Green God: How Fake Money Became America’s Real Religion.
We’ve built an empire around something that doesn’t actually exist — not in any tangible, survivable sense. Our currency, the almighty dollar, is a human invention with no intrinsic value, no caloric energy, no sheltering power. You can’t eat it, you can’t heat your home with it, and it doesn’t grow in the soil — yet people live and die by it.
Semantics
In most cases, the difficulty with social intercourse is due to either a misunderstanding due to definitions, foreign language translations or unfamiliarity of certain terms.
Rescuing a Dying Tradition: Rebuilding the American Hunter, Part III
Part III – Rescuing a Dying Tradition: Rebuilding the American Hunter “If We Don’t Pass It On, We’ll Bury It Beside the Campfire.” The numbers are grim but not terminal. Hunting can be saved—but not by bureaucracy. It will be saved the same way it began: neighbor to neighbor, family to family, and a kid’s …
You Can’t Do That No More
I got to thinking about the ever-growing list of things you can’t do anymore. And I’m not talking about the big things, such as smoking unfiltered Camels in the maternity-ward waiting room. Actually, it’s not a “maternity ward” anymore. It’s the “labor and delivery unit.” “Maternity ward” is a sexist term implying that only women have babies.
Last of the Deer Camps: Saving America’s Hunting Heritage Before It’s Gone, Part I
When Congress passed the Pittman–Robertson Act of 1947, it did something rare: it trusted ordinary citizens more than bureaucrats. Hunters agreed to tax themselves—an excise on firearms, ammunition, and archery gear—to restore the nation’s wildlife. Every box of shells, every rifle sale, sent dollars straight to state conservation agencies. No congressional earmarks, no political games.
Breaking the Cycle in Education
When I retired in 2017 and finally got settled back in Michigan around 2019, I decided to try something new — teaching. I earned my interim certificate and took a job in what turned out to be one of the poorest counties in the state, measured by home values and income. You could see the poverty in the houses, the roads, and, more than anything, the expectations kids had for themselves.
Delay the Friendly Skies
The airport was slammed. We checked in at the kiosk. Checked our luggage. Then stood in a four-mile line so that TSA agents could fondle us. Then we rushed to our terminal, hauling our baggage, just in time for…Our flight to be delayed.
The United States of Satan: How a Sideshow Became the State Religion, Part II
The surprise about The Satanic Bible is that it isn’t really about devils. It’s about power. Stripped of capes and candles, the book reads like a manual for breaking down civic bonds and replacing them with private whim — which is exactly what totalitarians, petty tyrants, and authoritarian movements have always wanted.
The United States of Satan: How a Sideshow Became the State Religion, Part I
Anton Szandor LaVey wasn’t born a villain — he rehearsed and performed one. Born Howard Stanton Levey in 1930, he reinvented himself as “Anton” and built a career out of spectacle, provocation, and carefully staged outrage.
Dear Karen
Dear Karen, We need to talk. Not about your latte, not about your emotional support Yorkie, and not about your urgent need to “speak to the manager.” This is an educational intervention.
The Archetype: The American Everygirl
Taylor Swift began as the embodiment of the “girl next door” myth — poetic, wide-eyed, a guitar and a journal full of heartbreaks.
Dreaming Dictators
At a massive military parade in Beijing China’s Tiananmen Square that commemorated the 80th anniversary of the victory in World War II over the Japanese, Vladimir Putin of Russia and Xi Jinping of China were recorded discussing the prospect of medical longevity and even immortality.
Welcome to Utopia 2030—Where Nobody Works and Everything Magically Works Anyway
Picture it: America, 2030. Everyone’s retired at 27. We all get a “guaranteed annual income” big enough to keep us stocked with weed, Doritos, and Netflix subscriptions. Nobody works anymore, but somehow the lights stay on
The Social Experiment
It was a social experiment. Nothing more. We were in an elevator. Me and Bill. Bill is an academic researcher, dealing in human behavior. Also rats. He knows a lot about rats. Whereas I am a redhead.
World War Me: How the Global Elite Found a New Hobby
You have to hand it to them—wars are incredibly efficient. They fix unemployment, erase debt, trim the population, spike GDP, and make the right people filthy rich. If you were a global leader addicted to fame, adrenaline, and taxpayer cash, you’d love war too.
Can Someone Smarter Than Me Figure This Out, ‘Cause I Sure Can’t
We noted, on September 26th, that six schools had forfeited games against the Jurupa Valley High School’s girls’ varsity volleyball team because a mentally ill male, A B Hernandez, plays on the girls’ team. Fox News has just reported how much the real girls are sacrificing: California girls’ volleyball team with trans player sees 10th …
