Election 2020 The Aftermath
What does the left really want?
It is not norms that the left wants to return to. It is not decency. It is not fewer bad tweets. It is not white supremacists the left fears as they so often posit as the worst danger we face. It is not Nazi behavior of Trump and his followers that we must stop. It […]
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. […]
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 […]
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. […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
“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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
