I’m always amazed when I hear people talk about free health care or free cell phones or any one of the other government programs designed to give people things they haven’t had to earn. What many people don’t seem to realize is that nothing is free. It might be free
A friend of mine has been hinting that I should write something about the topic of paying reparations for slavery. I think it’s time. This week, Governor Newsom signed into law AB3121 which creates a nine-member task force that will inform Californians about slavery and explore ways the state might
At the first Presidential debate, we heard Joe Biden claim that “ANTIFA is an idea, not an organization”. The next day, a friend of mine said jokingly that “white supremacy is an idea, not an organization”. Hmm. Interesting. While Joe Biden was being disingenuous (i.e. he was lying) when he

I recently read a spy novel by Tim Tigner called “Boundless Ambition”. As I read the following excerpt, I was struck by how well it parallels what’s happening today. “…all you ever have to do to lead public opinion by the nose is offer a simple alternative, preferably one that
I’m going to start out by saying that I really hate the term “the new normal”. It implies a permanence to me that I’m not comfortable with. I’d be OK with “the new temporary normal” which indicates that things will eventually get back to where they belong. “The new temporary
One of my Liberal Facebook “friends” posted a question the other day. He wanted to know if the United States was a shithole country yet. My response was, “Not yet. You need to try a little harder.” By now you’ve probably all heard people call this “Trump’s America”. The claim
