Defiant
Current events make my head spin. I’m one of those oddballs that have never been satisfied with ignoring logical inconsistencies and feel compelled to address them when they show themselves. The problems, debates, positions, obvious intellectual fallacies, and our media’s reporting (or lack thereof) make a thin soup to live on. Have you experienced that […]
Have We All Gone Nuts? US Financial Crisis
Can every thinking adult finally understand US financial crisis? Our outlays exceed our receipts by 140%. The last time US financial crisis was during the Second World War, and deficit spending restraint was not optional. The American people seem to have washed our collective hands of oversight for that out-of-control spending. We used to have […]
The Long Con
We are victims of policies that sound good and even feel good but have the opposite effect, all by design. Too many examples of what amounts to malign intent should be readily visible to all. I have realized that our basic foundational teachings, our tribal law, and the social acclimatization that evolved over eons no […]
I’ve Got Your Back
Recently I had a misunderstanding with a friend. In thinking about how misunderstandings occur, which amounts to how people perceive the actions and sometimes ideas or conclusions we individually have, it’s not surprising that misconceptions arise. These misconceptions can lead anywhere from bad feelings to fractured relationships, which is the case in this instance. I […]
Tip of the Spear
Our military should be more critical to Progressives than it is to Conservatives. Why? Our military is their primary guarantee they can rail against America without fear of retribution. We have enemies (think China) that want us defanged so that American leadership worldwide becomes nothing more than a footnote in history. An America without a […]
What We Can Do to Stop Inflation
My first blush takeaway from the mid-terms is how disaffected so many of us are. Feeling poorer through inflation is just depressing. This includes the psychological damage felt when your loved ones are also hurting. Our society is inarguably in steep decline with no end in sight. But what if there was a way to […]
What Should America Look Like?
Recently, the Supreme Court decided to take another look at the question of race-based Affirmative Action. The last time the court looked at the issue was back in 1978. Central to every facet of the question of manipulating who gets into colleges that employ a diversity test is a reason behind the requirement to look […]
Lenin is Educating Your Children
Let’s commence with a simple premise: An uneducated or undereducated American population is vulnerable on multiple levels. Our standard of living, history of peaceful coexistence, prosperity, propensity to be manipulated and more are problematic. America’s Public Education System is in shambles. Covid was just the final nail in the coffin. Our public education system has […]
What You Can’t See Doesn’t Matter—At least they hope so!
Today’s article is a bit of a manifesto. It seeks to be a compact primer on the “big picture.” It covers a lot of ground with a minimum of detail to hold your attention and to get across a complicated subject in an understandable way. Everything we talk about could be put into a flow […]
What Happened to “Never Again”?
A national election is right on top of us. Since at least the 1920s, American Jews have been among the most reliable supporters of the Democratic Party, whether as a voting block or as financiers. Half of American Jews self-describe as liberal. But more tellingly, they vote Democratic at a rate of 70%. Jews are […]
