Failed Banks, Excess Spending, and the Economy

Inflation became a problem in 2021, and the Fed has raised interest rates to combat it. The economy went into a brief recession last year but recovered quickly. Now, in 2023 several mid-size banks failed. What does it all mean? Are we in trouble or are these one-offs? Are we in for a “soft-landing” asContinue reading “Failed Banks, Excess Spending, and the Economy”

Novak Djokovic, Dr. Redfield, Moderna CEO, and the COVID Cultists

Blaze host, Steve Deace likens Dr. Fauci and his COVID followers to a cult. They have shown a religious fervor to follow narratives which never panned out, misleading millions of Americans along the way. Many scoff at the claims and tactics of these COVID religious zealots, but they don’t push back enough to effectively counter.Continue reading “Novak Djokovic, Dr. Redfield, Moderna CEO, and the COVID Cultists”

Discussion: Systemically Racist Appraisals

I asked my liberal debating friend about this Rasmussen poll question: “Is it okay to be white?” I hope we all believe it is acceptable to be white, black, or to possess any other immutable trait. Yet, this disappointing result says I am viewed as problematic by a large percentage of people who don’t evenContinue reading “Discussion: Systemically Racist Appraisals”

The Jesus Revolution, Revival, and Asbury

The just released movie Jesus Revolution is well done and inspiring. It is a story of three men in 1970s, men with vastly different backgrounds and life stories who were drawn together to bring California hippies to Jesus. The movie portrays the movement’s initial impetus, one which eventually expanded far beyond one California town. HeadlineContinue reading “The Jesus Revolution, Revival, and Asbury”

Ukraine One Year Later. What Next?

A year ago I asked a few questions about the Ukraine war: How did we get to this point? What is our national interest? What are the problems to overcome? What should our strategy be and what to expect next? These are still relevant questions. What-is-Happening-in-Ukraine-2021 In many ways, the war has been an overwhelmingContinue reading “Ukraine One Year Later. What Next?”

VSAFE, Rising Excess Deaths, and Athletes Collapsing. What Does it All Mean?

One million Americans died from COVID between March 15, 2020 and March 15 2022, an average of 42,000 deaths per month for two full years. The monthly death rate has declined by 69% (to 13,000 per month) the last 11 months.

Let’s Fight the Culture War. It Should be Easy Against These Folks.

Sarah Huckabee Sanders, former Trump press secretary and now governor of Arkansas, gave the State of the Union rebuttal last week. She defined the contrast in America today: https://www.marketwatch.com/story/sarah-huckabee-sanders-gives-republican-response-to-biden-full-text-11675829909 The dividing line in America is no longer between right or left.   The choice is between normal or crazy.  She re-iterated the point: And while youContinue reading “Let’s Fight the Culture War.

Everything is White Supremacy, even When it is Not

Rev. Al Sharpton said that Tyre Nichols, beaten to death by Memphis police last month, would not have been beaten to death if he were white. How does he know that? “There is a certain class of race problem-solvers who don’t want the patient to get well, because as long as the disease holds outContinue reading “Everything is White Supremacy, even When it is Not”

What is Extreme About Being Pro-Life?

VP Kamala Harris recently spoke about rights caguaranteed us in the Declaration of Independence, perhaps the greatest document ever written. However, Harris didn’t quote its well-known phrase correctly, and not by mistake either. https://www.newsweek.com/kamala-harris-omitting-life-declaration-rights-speech-sparks-debate-1775880 Harris delivered a speech in Tallahassee, Florida, on Sunday to mark the 50th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, the Supreme Court case that for decadesContinue reading “What is Extreme About Being Pro-Life?”

Unconscionable COVID Acts

Dr. Fauci was interviewed by CNN journalist Major Garrett upon leaving his post as NAIAD director. Reminiscent of the character in Casablanca who was “shocked” gambling was taking place, Garrett too was “shocked” anyone linked vaccines with the Monday Night Football incident (when Buffalo Bills player Damar Hamlin suffered two cardiac arrests during a contest).Continue reading “Unconscionable COVID Acts”
