Bidenomics: Record Total Personal Savings to Record Total Personal Debt – In Four Years
In no small part because Bidenomics includes wide open borders. Which invites the entirety of the planet’s population into the country – to compete with Americans for gigs.
Why We Have Elections
I believe that it is worthwhile to consider why we have elections. The first reason is the obvious one, we use elections to choose representatives. That is how a representative government works. That concept was reinforced by the Christian concept that God made all men and that there is, therefore, no longer Roman or Jew, freeman …

One Front: Two Wars
I wrote this piece the week after 9-11 in 2001. I’ve written over 1k pieces since then. This may be the best. Certainly prescient, even if DoD didn’t go for WW-T and went with GWOT (Global War on Terrorism). The first front of the World War against International Terrorism (WW-T), our American Homeland, is remarkably …
Betsy’s Beach Encounter With a Liberal
I spend half the year on Cape Cod. As with most beach towns, once Labor Day rolls around, the summer crowds have left. Although some return on weekends throughout September and October, the two most beautiful months of the year on the Cape, during the week, the beaches are generally empty, especially at 7 a.m. …
The Iron Law of Oligarchy
The Shakespearean idiom “there is method in madness” refers to the fact that there is a rational purpose in one’s action, even though it may appear crazy to another person. The chaos and apparent insanity of the action masks a reasoned course of action. I am not a lone voice bemoaning the “crazy” state of our society—civility has …
Tell Me About the Good Old Days
We are seeing flag officers bow low to the current culture climate. We are seeing the Commander-in-Chief wage war on his military.

If you’re indicted, you’re invited! Journalism Is Dead
As with every political party, there exists a broad spectrum in terms of extremity among Democrats, whose members range from the sane, such as Bill Maher and George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley, to the rabid, such as Fox News’ token liberal Juan Williams and the New York Times’ Frank Bruni. Obviously, I am …
Mask Hysteria, The Emperor’s New Clothes
Much like “The Emperor has no clothes,” the responses to Covid are more of the same cynical con. In this case, the doctor is the emperor and has no gown.
No-Courts Cannot Keep Trump off the Ballot.
A court can’t keep Trump off the ballot for violating Section 3 of 14A, simply because there has been no “Insurrection” as defined by Congressional law.
A Racist Is Motivated By…A Governor?
Generally leftists only want to blame a gun for a mass shooting, unless it is a cop firing it. Well, now it’s a governor at fault.
Mail-In Voting Is Here to Stay; GOP Must Adapt or Lose
In a perfect world, voters would be required to show up on Election Day to cast their ballots. Unfortunately, the pandemic handed Democrats a golden opportunity to implement mail-in voting and its close cousins, early voting and ballot harvesting, on an unprecedented scale. As dangerous and unpalatable as these activities may be, they are here …
A Patriot Day Remembrance; 9/11 Twenty-Two Years Later
Like many, the remainder of my career would be defined by conflict. For me, it started two weeks later with a deployment to North Africa, then two deployments to Afghanistan.
