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?”

DEI: Censorship and Indoctrination

DEI, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion is never what it seems it should be. Dr. Jordan Peterson, Canadian professor at the University of Toronto and practicing clinical psychologist has become the poster child for daring to challenge DEI nonsense. He has been punished for the good deeds of defending truth and freedom of speech. He is cogent and easyContinue reading “DEI: Censorship and Indoctrination”

DEI Dystopia

The term DEI, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion implies Non-diversity, Inequality, and Exclusion. DEI’s application is never consistent with its pitch. Anyone bragging of diversity today is probably a phony or doesn’t know the contemporary meaning. Those committed to diversity today are not committed to doing the best or promoting the best. DEI is committed to promoting those whoContinue reading “DEI Dystopia”

Dr. Fauci’s Faulty Internal Compass

Recently, my friend told me his internal compass is a standard for right and wrong. Dr. Fauci apparently has his own internal compass as well: https://www.msn.com/en-us/lifestyle/lifestyle-buzz/fauci-says-he-doesn-t-need-church-anymore-claims-his-personal-ethics-on-life-are-enough/ar-AA1lkleN “First of all, I think my own personal ethics on life are, I think, enough to keep me going on the right path,” he said, adding that the “organizationalContinue reading “Dr. Fauci’s Faulty Internal Compass”

Trump vs Biden in 2024? Say it Ain’t So.

The nation appears headed for a rematch I hoped we could avoid. Biden is already half dead and has projected feebleness on behalf of America the last three years. Trump did better during his four years, but Trump is not the person he was in 2016, has accumulated far too many enemies, has alienated far too manyContinue reading “Trump vs Biden in 2024? Say it Ain’t So.”

Pope Francis: What Do You Mean?

Politics often intrudes into the moral sphere. For instance, abortion has been a political issue the last fifty years, but the Catholic Church has consistently opposed abortion as immoral. The world’s standard is in direct opposition to God’s standard; it violates the sixth commandment. Abortion advocates say it is inappropriate to preach on this political issue and shouldn’tContinue reading “Pope Francis: What Do You Mean?”

The Search for Meaning: 1989 vs 2024

Let’s call this a discussion on the meaning of life.  My friend and debating partner led to this discussion with his skeptical questions regarding my biblical worldview. He also outlined his own value system, one that relies neither on God nor Marx, today’s favorite philosopher. Standards I cannot alter God’s standard to suit myself. It stands aboveContinue reading “The Search for Meaning: 1989 vs 2024”
