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.
Coming Class War or Culture War?
The election of Donald John Trump over instead of the coronation of Hillary Clinton in 2016 could have been the makings of a new governing majority – if cheating, state-by-state, can be corrected. The people who work for wages or own small businesses in key Northern and Midwestern states are the new margin of …
The good, #progressive and environmentalist Penn students leave the streets filled with garbage
Do you see those dark blue areas, just to the left of the Schuylkill River in Philadelphia?

Government Spending has Become Insane
Our gremlin in chief is currently playing chicken with the House Republicans over the national debt limit. The House wants some fiscal constraints and the Dems want unlimited borrowing. There’s a great deal of talk about what a default on our debt would do to the economy — most of it speculative. However, there’s little …
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 …
Biden Stokes the Flames of Distrust – Again
Our national problem isn’t racism. It’s a lack of trust in one another. We presume injustices are due to malice rather than mistakes.
A Call To Action
It is only on occasion that we use the words of others to any great extent. But, when someone of great reverence for God, with integrity, and great honor finds the phrasing to disseminate the exact meaning of what is going on in the world, we are compelled to present it. It is a call …
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 …
Minarchy and Commencement
It’s that time of year again, when high school and college graduates all over the country are trying on caps and gowns and making post-graduation plans. Today, for the ninth year, I will present here my own carefully prepared commencement speech to those grads – presented here because there’s damn little chance of my being …
Off The Battlefield: Leave No Soldier Behind
“On the battlefield, the military pledges to leave no soldier behind. As a nation, let it be our pledge that when they return home, we leave no veteran behind.” -Dan Lipinski The wind whistles around her blonde hair as she sights in on her target. Tuning out the laughing chatter from the next stage, her …
Dreams of My Youth
The dreams of my youth, stifled and curbed, my existence lost in the gale. The song in my soul, muzzled and mute, except for a forlorn wail. The turmoil serves a greater purpose, a shift in the paradigm, As the trials that tempt to unmake me, mold me infinitely stronger with time. The fire has …
Eliminate Benefits for Congress
By John R. “Buck” Surdu Statista asserts that 78% of the American people disapprove of Congress as of April 2023. Indeed, in recent years, disapproval ratings of all federal institutions have skyrocketed.

Political Parody As a Weapon, Part LXXXVII; “A predictable sad ending to an investigation that never should have taken place.”
What Sane Person….
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?
