The Lost Generations: Today and Yesteryear
The Baby Boomer generation can be blamed for not relinquishing political power, for passing on massive problems (huge national debt, failing social security, etc.), and most importantly, for failing to instill their values in the next generations. Ronald Reagan said each generation has responsibility to the next: Freedom is never more than one generation awayContinue reading “The Lost Generations: Today and Yesteryear”
COVID Vaccine Games
COVID originated in Wuhan, China in late 2019. Wuhan was locked down on January 23, 2020, a futile attempt to stop the spread. The first US COVID cases were reported February 15, and the first US deaths were a week later. The original SARS virus, also originating in China, killed fewer than 100 people inContinue reading “COVID Vaccine Games”
Let’s Kick Butker
Kansas City Chief placekicker, Harrison Butker, raised himself from relative anonymity with a commencement speech at Benedictine College (Atchison, Kansas) last week.

Poison Ivy Spreads. Biden Nods.
Last December three Ivy League presidents refused to categorically condemn a hypothetical call for the “genocide of Jews” to Congress poison-ivy-league. The October 7 attack on Israel was actually “exhilarating” per one Cornell professor. As we have witnessed recently, the poison ivy ideology has clearly trickled down from administrators and professors to the privileged youthContinue reading “Poison Ivy Spreads. Biden Nods.”
Trump vs Biden Redux
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!)”
