Graphic designer, Lorie Smith wanted to expand her Colorado business to include custom designed wedding web sites, but she feared being sued should she decline to design a same-sex wedding site.

Racist Policy Finally Struck Down by Supreme Court
Affirmative action for minorities began in the 1960s as an effort to restore racial justice. Sixty years later, the U.S. Supreme Court is ending one aspect of it (hopefully). Using racism to end racism has never made sense and finally someone with authority has declared the emperor has no clothes. Affirmative action (per Wikipedia): aContinue reading “Racist Policy Finally Struck Down by Supreme Court”
Justice American Style
President Trump was impeached because his opponents said he asked the Ukrainian president to investigate his political rival. Last summer I asked: trump-raid-demonstrates-we-live-in-a-banana-republic why is the Biden administration taking steps to poke into the affairs of the man who has openly said he is going to run in 2024? Is the charge of investigating opponentsContinue reading “Justice American Style”
Presidential Election 2024: The Good, the Crooked, the Dull and Boring
The first-in-the-nation 2024 Iowa caucus is a little more than seven months away. New Hampshire, Nevada, and South Carolina vote next before Super Tuesday on March 5. Currently, there are just three Democratic candidates, an octogenarian who has held political office since his 30th birthday (President Biden) and two septuagenarians who have never held office:Continue reading “Presidential Election 2024: The Good, the Crooked, the Dull and Boring”

What is Sacrifice? What is Courage? Musk, Swift, and Others Demonstrate.
Although Elon Musk claims he has been and still is a liberal, he has become a conservative hero. I often agree with him, but I see him as merely attempting to return us to normality, sensibility, fairness, and sanity. Musk is resurrecting the notion of free speech, a fundamental concept which has only recently comeContinue reading “What is Sacrifice? What is Courage? Musk, Swift, and Others Demonstrate.”
From Obergefell to “Let’s Trans the Kids”. What’s Going on?
In 2012, North Carolina voted for a ban on gay marriage, extending a streak of thirty consecutive “no” votes in a period of a few years: https://www.npr.org/sections/itsallpolitics/2012/05/08/152297983/gay-marriage-referendum-drives-high-turnout-in-north-carolina The AP made that projection based on an actual tally of votes.

What Does the Reaction to Jordan Neely’s Death Say About our Culture?
Was the death of Jordan Neely, a homeless man who succumbed on a NYC subway train, an accident or further demonstration of white supremacy? The question should not even be debated. Rational thought can explain such events, but too many (especially those whose job it is to inform us) have abandoned such thought; consequently, truthContinue reading “What Does the Reaction to Jordan Neely’s Death Say About our Culture?”

On Church and Science: Yet Another Phony Narrative
Academics today view Christianity as a fairy tale, and those believing in it as gullible and witless. Science and religion are portrayed as mutually exclusive, but this view has gained acceptance only in the last 100 years, and can be disproven. Isaac Newton, the inventor of calculus and one of the greatest minds of allContinue reading “On Church and Science: Yet Another Phony Narrative”
