How far must we go down the rabbit hole of depravity before sleeping Americans cry uncle? Three college presidents testified to Congress this week, and yet again I shook my head at the spectacle. Actually, it was more than a head shaker; it was disgusting. When will this insanity end? I never expect push backContinue reading “The Poison Ivy League”

How Many More Wars?
A month into the latest Israeli/Palestinian conflict, a majority of Americans still support Israel’s actions. Nevertheless, a significant percentage of Americans are leery of any further Israeli retaliation; the impact of the media, the UN, dishonest politicians, and clueless academics are taking a toll. This shouldn’t be so hard. Without a consistent worldview, people struggleContinue reading “How Many More Wars?”
Tell Me Again: Why Should the Border be Open?
Earlier this year, Comedian Louis C.K. told Joe Rogan the border should be open because “It shouldn’t be so great here in America.” https://www.foxnews.com/media/louis-ck-calls-open-borders-end-global-inequality-shouldnt-great-here-america “My feeling is they should open it-the border, let everybody pour in, and then the answer which is ‘well then there will be all these problems.’ Yes, there should be,” heContinue reading “Tell Me Again: Why Should the Border be Open?”
If Her Daddy’s Poor (and You’re a Liberal) Just Do What You Feel
Why do so many pretend what is politically expedient is the truth and most logical course of action? It’s a constant in politics, but still the thing I hate most about politics. It took little time for Democrats to publicly ask Senator Robert Menendez to resign after being charged with corruption and bribery. The storyContinue reading “If Her Daddy’s Poor (and You’re a Liberal) Just Do What You Feel”
Government Directed (Again) not to Censor
The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution states Congress can make no law to abridge (i.e. limit, censor) speech. Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, andContinue reading “Government Directed (Again) not to Censor”
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. With 35 percent of the vote counted, 58 percent of those casting ballots voted in favorContinue reading “From Obergefell to “Let’s Trans the Kids”. What’s Going on?”
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?”
Guns and Transgenderism. It’s All About the Narrative.
We don’t yet know exactly why a transgender man (actually a female), killed six at a Nashville Christian school. She said she wanted to die and knew she would die that day (I refer to this person by her actual sex, not by the preferred one). She left behind a manifesto to explain everything, butContinue reading “Guns and Transgenderism. It’s All About the Narrative.”
Let’s Fight the Culture War. It Should be Easy Against These Folks.
Sarah Huckabee Sanders, former Trump press secretary and now governor of Arkansas, gave the State of the Union rebuttal last week. She defined the contrast in America today: https://www.marketwatch.com/story/sarah-huckabee-sanders-gives-republican-response-to-biden-full-text-11675829909 The dividing line in America is no longer between right or left. The choice is between normal or crazy. She re-iterated the point: And while youContinue reading “Let’s Fight the Culture War. It Should be Easy Against These Folks.”
