Misplaced Ire

Most Muslims are good people.  As are most Catholics, Jews, Lutherans, Baptists, Taoists, Buddhists and <insert your own religion here>.   Most white people are good people.  As are most blacks, yellows, browns and reds. Whenever I see a meme or headline complaining about Muslims, I’m amazed of the ignorance of

Finding Bigotry In America

We’ve been told that there is systemic racism in America.  People have literally (and I use that word correctly) said that everything is racist.  That’s the whole concept behind Critical Race Theory. Here’s the thing.  There are very few people left who are actually racist.  We used to have a

A Coercive Workplace Environment

Let’s say one day I wear my favorite “All Lives Matter” t-shirt to work.  I’m sitting there eating my lunch and someone wearing a BLM t-shirt starts harassing me for wearing my shirt.  Now, I was just quietly eating my sandwich, not bothering anyone, and then this person starts yelling

The Sound of Embarrassment

Remember last summer?  Sure you do.  There were a bunch of people who hated President Trump and a bunch of people who loved him.  For every person criticizing every move he made, there was someone ready to fire back with an equal amount of praise for his policies. Both sides

Pay Your Own Damn Student Loan

Yesterday I saw one of the most foolish things I’ve seen in a very long time.  It was a post of some text that made a very Liberal claim about forgiving student loans.  Here’s what it looked like: Naturally, the Liberals were falling all over themselves to agree with it.

An Alternative to Tax Hikes

I’ve got a whacky idea that might just work.  I know, I know, some of my ideas are pretty far out there.  But I think this one’s a winner. Instead of increasing taxes, how about if the government just spent less money?  I think this is one of my better

Mistrusting the CDC

CDC stands for “The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention”.  The “and Prevention” part was added years after the “CDC” part which is why their acronym isn’t CDCP.  I guess they already had the business cards and letterhead paper printed so changing to CDCP would have been a big expense.

A Lesson in “Assedness”

Since we’re seeing an unprecedented number of “noncitizens” entering out country, I thought it might be handy to give them a quick lesson on three essential words.  Especially since they’ll be using them a lot after they’ve been “integrated” into our welfare system. The three words are: dumbass, smartass and
