I Don’t See What the Problem Is
I was raised in a strict Christian, Republican household where my parents always voted Republican, and they passed their views down to us kids. My father passed away about 15 years ago, and my mom remarried—a Democrat. While I’ve mostly leaned conservative, with some occasional moves toward the center, my mom has changed a lot…

Confirmation Hearings
The world is changing. When Judge Bork was being attacked by Joe Biden and the Democrats on the Senate confirmation committee, it was something new. We had never seen a Supreme Court nominee being so maligned. It was the dirty tricks writ large and in color. Justice Thomas had another slanderous hearing. He was strong…

Target: Low Information Voters
Senator Warren is using misleading language to make her base angry at the rich. Never mind that she has become wealth from being a Senator. Social Security is supposed to be “forced” savings. The government decided that we could not be trusted with our own retirement funds. Instead, they took money from us, during our…

Things that make you go Hmmm?
For the most part, I’ve stopped writing or reporting on “mass shootings”. They happen. My initial takes are normally wrong. The information that we are fed is designed to tell a story. I hate being a conspiracy guy. My biggest error, so far, has been my initial analysis of the Trump shooting. Having said that,…

Trump Derangement Syndrome
An example — from an NYU professor: “{DJT’s holding a rally in Waco} sends a clear message…Waco has been a pilgrimage site for White power and militia movements… He is paying homage to this tradition and doubling down on his profile as leader of an extremist cult (MAGA). The stagecraft and rituals seen at this…

Let’s talk about it…
When I was a small kid, I would get in fights with the neighbor kid across the street from me. The parents were cool about it, but were unhappy with the bare knuckle part of the fighting. So, we were issued boxing gloves and went at it with all the grace of two gangly 3rd…

Cheering For the Loss
I did not want Jimmy Carter to win. Neither did my parents. When he was elected, we were willing to cheer for him to succeed. He didn’t. As much as Biden and Clinton messed up this country, no single President comes close to Jimmy. Most of the mess in the Middle East can be laid…

Tax the Rich! Tax Corporations!
Much of the noise in the MSM and social media (X) is leftist, attempting to call more than half the country “stupid”. “How could you vote for a convicted felon?” ask many. Well, we’ve just seen that case evaporate. It should never have been brought. And as Justice Thomas said, …the Attorney General purported to…

How Could You Vote For a Convicted Felon?
I have a friend who voted for Kamala. He is an intelligent person. Reasonably educated, firearms guy. I like talking to him and hanging with him. We don’t talk politics because politics stresses him. I didn’t know he was voting for until recently. I got about ten minutes of his time and asked him if…
