I asked this question in August 2022, nearly two years ago following the FBI raid on Trump’s home. I was alarmed then at the potential consequences of hyperbolic and irresponsible rhetoric commonly displayed. Political rhetoric has not improved since then. This past week, Victor Davis Hanson catalogs the numerous celebrities who have contemplated Donald Trump’sContinue reading “Why the Blind Hatred of Trump?”

Trump Raid Demonstrates We Live in a Banana Republic
Why was the home of former President Trump raided on August 8? Of course, we all want to believe justice is applied equally and nobody is above the law–not even the president. Nonetheless, some are still above the law. It is also clear the former president himself has been investigated more than anyone else inContinue reading “Trump Raid Demonstrates We Live in a Banana Republic”
What Just Happened in Kansas?
Roe v Wade was overturned in June and that ruling sent the decision on whether or not to allow abortions back to the states. Missouri was the first state to totally ban abortion (Missouri’s law was actually passed in 2019; there was an automatic trigger that kicked in after the decision). Kansas was the firstContinue reading “What Just Happened in Kansas?”
What Did We Learn from the January 6 Committee?
The J6 Committee wrapped up hearings in late July. If you want to know what actually happened January 6, 2021, I suggest not relying solely on this committee. We learned this committee is not intent on uncovering the truth. Many others have dug deep into the problems of January 6 (from varying perspectives); below, IContinue reading “What Did We Learn from the January 6 Committee?”
Sesame Place and the Lie of Systemic Racism
Two stories, juxtaposed in the news this week, demonstrate the lie we live with continually. America today is not a racist country. Americans are as tolerant a people as has ever lived and we live in a society as diverse as any that has ever existed. The political elites want it to be a racistContinue reading “Sesame Place and the Lie of Systemic Racism”
COVID Remains. Don’t Run in Circles, and Scream and Shout
COVID has been with us for two-and-a-half years. Life for many of us returned to normal long ago, yet, COVID still remains a topic of discussion. Why is it still top-of-mind for so many? Governments remain poised to re-institute restrictions as COVID cases remain stubbornly high in the US. Are they going to do aContinue reading “COVID Remains. Don’t Run in Circles, and Scream and Shout”
The Normalization of Delusion
Update June 2023: I first published this post July 2022 following the overturning of Roe v. Wade and the decision to affirm prayer at public school football. Since then, I spoke of the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence being honored by the LA Dodgers. what-is-sacrifice-what-is-courage-musk-swift-and-others-demonstrate. Tolerating the sisters is one thing–Americans have always tolerated individuals withContinue reading “The Normalization of Delusion”
Do You Have Hope? Where Does it Come From?
After recent posts on abortion, transgenderism, and the right to pray, I am criticized as a religious zealot, one attempting to impose my religious doctrine on others, one who believes Christianity should be advanced over other religions by our government, and one who would not act consistently to protect other faiths. My critics are oftenContinue reading “Do You Have Hope? Where Does it Come From?”
Freedom to Pray is Upheld. Why was it ever Threatened?
High School Coach Joe Kennedy was fired from his job at Bremerton (Washington) High School for praying at the 50-yard line immediately after each game. The coach engaged in this practice for nearly eight years (win or lose) until local officials determined it to be a threat to good order. Namely, they saw this asContinue reading “Freedom to Pray is Upheld. Why was it ever Threatened?”
Overturning Roe v Wade: a Return to Federalism and Democracy
I was told the following by a critic regarding the Roe v Wade overturning. It is a rather dumbfounding statement, but it represents the views of many, so I think should be addressed seriously: You are basically requiring that I explain Newton’s Laws of Motion to you. I should not have to do that. AnContinue reading “Overturning Roe v Wade: a Return to Federalism and Democracy”
