The Facts Continue to Drip and Dribble Out, but the Government Has Yet to Come Clean
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.
The Real Democrats
Not long ago Democrats were generally patriotic Americans who just wanted different things than we, but who would generally do the right thing. I am not sure this is still true.
Mask Madness Strikes Again: Breathing Our Way to Stupidity!
Today in Cloft’s Corner, Dave lampoons the idiocy of mask mandates, especially given the evidence that they don’t work.
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.
America, This Is Where We Are
One can only marvel in disgust at the divergence in our morality, standard of living, personal safety, national and economic security, and sense of well-being.
From Vision to Reality: The Federal Government’s Transformation into the Founders’ Fears
As time has passed, a stark transformation has occurred whereby our federal government no longer safeguards liberty as envisioned by the Founders.
America: Land of the Sheep and Home of the Timid
Satire Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, gather ’round for a tale of how the land of the free and the home of the brave became the land of the sheep and the home of the timid. Yes, it’s time to discuss the great infection that has plagued our beloved nation: the “spirit of fear.” …
A Day In Infamy, September 11, 2001
All over America, on Reserve and National Guard facilities, phones were ringing off the hook. The question was unerringly the same: “When do you need me there?”
The Four Prophetesses of the Old Testament, Pt 2 of 2
When we think of Biblical prophets, names like Isaiah, and Jeremiah, and Daniel come to mind. But there were women–prophetesses–who also spoke for God.
Food
by John R. “Buck” Surdu I saw this picture recently on the Internet, and it got me thinking. A lot of fascism has been foisted on citizens with the collusion of we the sheeple over the years. Often this fascism comes under the guise of promoting the “general welfare,” but it always comes with …
