The last time I addressed the election, I hoped we could avoid a re-run of 2020 : trump-vs-biden-say-it-aint-so. What can we expect now that primaries are basically over? First, it appears a sizeable number of Americans still wish for another alternative. Biden’s RCP job approval (average of fourteen polls) has slipped below 40% several times.Continue reading “Trump vs Biden Redux”

Maher Admits the Truth About Abortion
Bill Maher recently said something so obvious, yet so very hard for pro-choice folks to admit. It eases the pro-choice conscience to claim abortion is merely a choice. It is also reassuring to say pro-lifers have nefarious intent by opposing abortion: they want to repress women, oppose freedom, are extremists, absolutists, etc. Maher, while stillContinue reading “Maher Admits the Truth About Abortion”
Transgender Holy Days Encroach
March 31, 2024, Easter Sunday, coincided with transgender visibility day. The White House Press Secretary stressed it was merely a coincidence the two days overlapped this year. Yes, that’s correct, but it is not out-of-bounds to wonder if the proximity to Easter is by design. Since the new transgender observance day was established in 2009,Continue reading “Transgender Holy Days Encroach”
Free Speech Advocates Fight Back (Finally!)
Last month, the Supreme Court heard a case regarding censorship of regular Americans: Vivek Murthy (U.S. Surgeon General) vs. Missouri. Two lower courts ruled the government violated the First Amendment by pressuring social media to remove posts regarding COVID policy and the 2020 presidential election. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/supreme-court-government-pressure-social-media-free-speech A U.S. district court judge said White House officials,Continue reading “Free Speech Advocates Fight Back (Finally!)”
The Search for Meaning: The Beginning of Our Eternity
We are in this world for possibly a century, not enough time for many to contemplate what, if any, meaning is attached to their own existence. Other concerns distract or occupy their time. I have certainly contemplated life’s meaning myself, but haven’t fully explored the matter–nor will I ever. We should never stop asking questionsContinue reading “The Search for Meaning: The Beginning of Our Eternity”
Corruption Alert: Journalist Arrested for January 6
Friday, a Blaze TV journalist, Steve Baker, was arrested for his part in the January 6 riots. A journalist was arrested for filming the event? Why was he arrested? There were many journalists on Capitol Hill that day (more than sixty per Baker, including several journalists who went through a broken window). https://www.cnn.com/2021/01/06/media/congressional-reporters-capitol-hill-riot/index.html New YorkContinue reading “Corruption Alert: Journalist Arrested for January 6”
The Legacy of Jon Stewart: Avoiding Debate
It is relatively rare for people on the Left and the Right to engage. Most TV shows and podcasts have guests of the same political persuasion as the host; we have constructed echo chambers intended to confirm the current opinions of the target audience. Challenge opinions and subscribers might abandon you for a provider willingContinue reading “The Legacy of Jon Stewart: Avoiding Debate”
Are There Actually Renewable Fuels?
Fossil fuels: wood, coal, oil, natural gas, etc. are limited resources. The earth’s supply will eventually be exhausted. However, will we even need fossil fuels by the time they become scarce? Humans have a remarkable ability to adapt to changing circumstances. Will humanity adapt or be caught flat footed? We are more likely to beContinue reading “Are There Actually Renewable Fuels?”
Florida COVID Grand Jury Speaks (and Ivermectin the Silver Bullet)
Unfortunately, few are still talking about problems that arose from COVID policy. Thankfully, a Florida grand jury has been investigating COVID policy since late 2022. The grand jury provided a brief (33 pages) preliminary report last week; the complete report is still months away. full-report-florida-grand-jury The state of Florida also established a Public Health Integrity Commission with severalContinue reading “Florida COVID Grand Jury Speaks (and Ivermectin the Silver Bullet)”
What Does an Insurrection Look Like?
I predict we will hear much regarding insurrections this election year. Democrats have one example, one they repeatedly re-cycled, exaggerated and over-hyped. We cannot elect a guy who started an insurrection, after all, right? Well, maybe we can. There was indeed a riot January 6, 2021. However, no police officers or government officials died and none were seriously injured. TheContinue reading “What Does an Insurrection Look Like?”
