Should We Trust your Statistics?
And, not to pick on you, but speaking of definitions, “collage” according to Webster is: “an artistic composition made of various materials (such as paper, cloth, or wood) glued on a surface.” “College” is: “an independent institution of higher learning offering a course of general studies leading to a bachelor’s degree,” or “an organized body…

Where’s the Gold?
This dude looks relaxed and laid back as he takes the Bronze. What is spectacular, in this picture, is that he doesn’t look like a cyborg. No fancy gizmos, nothing except ear plugs and prescription glasses. Why is some random ex-cop from Turkey taking a bronze in a shooting competition? The top four slots should…

Reproductive Health Care
I just do not get it. At least that’s what I keep saying. That isn’t as true as it used to be, but I still don’t thoroughly understand it. We run risk assessments all the time. Most people do a shitty job of it. They conflate probability of occurring with the amount put at risk.…

When the State wants more weasel words
The state is constantly looking for weasel words in Supreme Court opinions to further their arrogant subjugation of their subjects. We see this in how they misconstrued the language of to claim that the Second Amendment only protects militias. We see this when they misconstrue to mean that “presumptively constitutional” means that any infringement is…

Who are you going to believe?
Me or your lying eyes? For the last four years, the only time I heard about Kamala was when she had messed up, again. It is a feature of her actions, she messes up. She was assigned to close the border. Joe used Obama’s term, “Tsar”. As in “Border Tsar.” Today, I’m being told, “Kamala…
