I just came across a horrifying, although unsurprising, story of a boy in Seattle sent to a children’s hospital for treatment. This 16-year-old boy was used as a pawn in a bigger political game. His father recognized the game and so rescued his son, but not from the usual suspects, not from a James BondContinue reading “Transgender Delusion”

Discussion: Systemic Racism, Unconscious Bias, and Affirmative Action
A liberal friend of mine and I have engaged in off-an-on discussions of systemic racism in American institutions. I say it was eliminated in the 1960’s. He says it is a still a problem. Below, is the start of a formal discussion of this through this forum. He presents his case and then there isContinue reading “Discussion: Systemic Racism, Unconscious Bias, and Affirmative Action”
Who are the Real Racists?
A few weeks ago I addressed the question: is the orange man (Trump) the racist his opponents have continually claimed he is? https://seek-the-truth.com/2021/04/07/who-is-a-racist/. I start today from the premise that he is not. I don’t claim Trump never said a suspect thing (he has said many), and I don’t claim he has never said thingsContinue reading “Who are the Real Racists?”
Chauvin Verdict: What Next?
I said last summer and I say again that nobody condoned the actions of Officer Chauvin which led to the death of George Floyd. After this incident, there was actually a consensus as we’ve rarely had for any issue in America. It could have been a unifying moment for the country, but instead we gotContinue reading “Chauvin Verdict: What Next?”
Who is a Racist?
No matter the verdict of the Derek Chauvin trial this month, there will likely be unrest. If he is acquitted, there will be renewed cries of injustice and probably mass riots. If he is convicted, we will hear the verdict confirms all we’ve been told about systemic racism in America; it will provide impetus forContinue reading “Who is a Racist?”
What is racism?
Today what passes for racist is often not and what is truly racist is often excused. This is because the new definition of racism, white supremacy, and the like is the action of any person with whom you disagree. You discredit your opponents and their views by calling them racist. Maybe you can shame themContinue reading “What is racism?”
What’s a Gender?
The folks that brought us the terms “preferred pronouns”, “mis-gendering”, and “reproductive rights”, are at it again. Dr. Rachel Levine was questioned by Senator Rand Paul during his nomination hearing for Assistant Secretary of Health a few weeks ago. I include the full exchange in the link below. During the five minute exchange, Senator PaulContinue reading “What’s a Gender?”
Is this Toxic Feminity?
A friend of mine sent this article with the comment that this is what people who have abandoned thought are thinking these days. He also asked if are we living in a dystopia? Some of our fellow citizens are, I’m afraid. Why heterosexual relationships are so bad for us, according to a sex researcher IfContinue reading “Is this Toxic Feminity?”
Who are we vaccinating?
There is a lot of talk about systemic racism today. I asked one of my liberal friends if this Virginia policy is an example of systemic racism. Black, Latino Seniors in Virginia Get COVID-19 Vaccine Priority as White 85-Year-Olds Wait | Judicial Watch In the next few weeks, the state will give preference to blackContinue reading “Who are we vaccinating?”
Is This Racist?
Is opening schools in California racist? One school board member says so: https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/opening-schools-racist-trustee-says I don’t like to guess at motivations, but this one is so transparent because it follows a standard playbook. The logic is simple although perverse. The new definition of racism, white supremacy, and the like is: any action which the Left disagreesContinue reading “Is This Racist?”
