Dealing with the Impossible
Trying to make sense of the senseless in an upside-down world In a series of essays, I am going to attempt to explain everything. As you read you will no doubt be composing essays of your own with different examples. These will make up MY observations. I am mostly of a cheerful disposition with a… Continue reading

America at a Crossroad
There is much to be alarmed about these days. In my 85 years I can’t recall being as down on our prospects for The United States survival as I was last week, watching the farce, and knowing that more is to come, to keep Trump entangled in legal problems, and bringing shadows over him for… Continue reading

Getting Things Done in Congress
Part one: A recapitulation of the human comedy we call getting things done for Congress A few weeks ago we were fascinated to watch the drawn out election of The Speaker of the House. At first I must admit I was worried because Republicans had a lot to try to undo and a lot on… Continue reading

Interim assertions
While we are waiting for the new Congress, and new Governors and other electees to step in and while we hope for the best, I will observe the following: Much as I love The Club for Growth and wish every Republican member of Congress could be a Club elected one, we all know this is… Continue reading

Election 2022 post-mortem
I said what I had to say about the faux red wave the other morning. The combination of evil Democrats* who cheat any way they can, and their base of raging lobotomized mouth-breathing imbeciles, was enough to turn the tide. In any event, here are three excellent assessments I wholeheartedly agree with, all from my… Continue reading

Never underestimate the stupidity of the American electorate
That is all I have to say. (Oh, and thank you Governor DeSantis for allowing me to live in free state…) Continue reading

A Tale of Two Speeches
It was the worst of speeches, it was the best of speeches. It was a speech of foolishness, it was a speech of wisdom. It was a speech of incredulity, it was a speech of belief. It was a speech of darkness, it was a speech of light. It was a speech of rage and… Continue reading

So, if it’s safe now, it was safe then? Ya don’t say!
My wife and I had COVID-19 in the last half of December last year. My relatively mild case — hers was worse — was mitigated by “prohibited” medicines and “questionable” treatments that the thoroughly corrupt medical establishment in our country demonized, along with those of us who wanted to choose our personal course of action.… Continue reading

1984 – Compulsory Language
Decades ago, when the first rumblings of the need for gay marriage to be legalized came about, I was grappling with the issue. At first I was okay with the idea. I understood that for a member of a gay couple it would be easier if he was married and a hospital has visiting restricted… Continue reading

Propaganda vs. Reality
One man’s reality is another’s propaganda and vice versa. Many decades ago, there was a marvelous series on TV where Benjamin Dunlap, a movie lover and intellect, wanted to pass on his own experience. He had watched certain films over and over, and saw details that would escape those who only watched those films once.… Continue reading

Roe is Overturned And the Left Thinks It’s the end of the World
In the past I have written about how one argues with a liberal. The liberal says, “Well, what about this?” You answer factually. You get, “I don’t want to talk about it” — ignoring the fact that he was the one who brought it up. Or, “Where did you hear that? I never heard that”… Continue reading

The January Sixth Committee
I did not watch all of the hearings. But I did see a lot of them and saw many of what those on the Committee would consider the “highlights”. First some observations: Not once has the Committee played the part of Trump’s comments to his supporters that we will now march to the Capitol to… Continue reading

A letter to Senator Ben Sasse
Dear Senator Sasse, As you can see I am not one of your Nebraska constituents. I am one of your American constituents. I don’t have any understanding of what you are on about when you speak of Trump and your problems with him or our “hero” worship of him. Do the country a favor, please… Continue reading

An Inside Out, Upside Down World
With Mother’s Day upon us there is the irony that a lot of ANTI mother effort exists these days. School boards impede or deny mothers the right to speak up against schools polluting their children’s minds. Pro abortionists do all they can to prevent motherhood even to happen in too many instances. We are informed… Continue reading

“News” Reporting
Here is how the left wing news reports a story. “Retired conservative federal judge says Republican efforts to overturn the 2020 election were a dry run for 2024.” I call that “news” story chutzpah, inc. Here is how I would report the same story. The headline would be: “The Democrats may steal the election again… Continue reading

A review of the Frontline on PBS from Tuesday night, April 12th
I only saw the program once and it is possible I misconstrued some things and forgot others. If I got some things really wrong, let me know. But here is my summary of this outrageous edition of Frontline: It said it was going to be about Ukraine, so even though I gave up on Frontline… Continue reading

Who Are the Real Villains Now?
I wonder these days what it was all about. Why did people I trusted as reliable conservatives decide to go away and join the Lincoln Project just to try to cancel Trump out? Why did the usually intelligent conservative Senator Toomey decide to assert the the insupportable contention that there was no evidence of widespread… Continue reading

Money and Inflation
These days more things are a puzzlement to me. As I wrote in my most recent piece, I seem to have questions about more things than ever lately. But there is one thing I have NEVER understood. I watched every episode of Milton Friedman’s Free to Choose and the one thing I could never fully… Continue reading

Certainties, Questions, Puzzlements, and Paradoxes
Certainties Herewith my manifesto. Anyone who disagrees with any of this, has nothing to say to me that could interest me: A prologue for context – On one episode of Firing Line Buckley had a liberal from Congress who was going on and on about America’s faults. Buckley let him rant without interrupting. Finally, Buckley… Continue reading

A Puzzlement?
Nah. Not if you are a thinking person. Suddenly, mandates may be ending. Why these announcements this week? Not much has changed. True, Omicron is quieting down, but much worse variants are predicted that we are warned to look out for. Yet suddenly at this very moment, we are getting promises from authorities that soon… Continue reading

Protests
There were the Tea Party protests. Ours was a party in the happiest sense of the word. We wanted those in Washington who were spending too much and trying to take over too much, and were dividing us and tyrannizing us, to understand that we were not with them in their pursuits which involved “fundamentally… Continue reading

Hasten Herd Immunity
We must first stop all automatons following would be tyrants in lockstep. They shake our nerves and they rattle our brains. The powers that be who keep telling us what to do about Covid, offer us, in turn, lies, hypocrisy and inconsistency. Yet the masses have no trouble obeying. If I try to complain on… Continue reading

Fun Covid facts and other observations
We have all seen the pictures. Those who are quick to give us orders and mandates, those who have no problem removing OUR liberties and comforts, have all been seen in fancy restaurants without masks, not social distancing, not staying home, laughing and carefree as if they are not breaking every taboo they force on… Continue reading

Everything Democrats touch turns to shit, Dennis Prager edition
As you may recall, there are two unequivocal, immutable political truths, truths as real as gravity or electricity. They are, in order: 1, LIBERALISM* IS A MENTAL DISORDER; and 2, EVERYTHING DEMOCRATS TOUCH TURNS TO SHIT. These two can be applied singly or together for EVERY SINGLE CRAPTASTIC thing Democrats do the nation. The estimable… Continue reading
About us
For lack of a better term, we are misfits, irritable, but lovable, constitutional conservatives who loathe and detest collectivists and statists of all persuasions and parties…
