The Left After Wokeness

Sigh, unfortunately, it’s not likely to go peacefully into that good night. Or even just get off the stage. The inmates are running the asylum on the left and the Republican leadership has let them take this country along for the ride. That is about to come to a screeching halt as there won’t be another chance to interfere in the elections like in 2020. The midterms are promising to be a bloodbath for the Democrats. They have already seriously … Continue reading “The Left After Wokeness”

Roe V Wade has been STRUCK DOWN!

I don’t do multiple posts on a given day – but today is very, very special. After 50 years the worst Supreme Court decision EVER is GONE. Roe V Wade and its sister decision, Casey v. Planned Parenthood , have both been struck down in a historic, landmark, AWESOME decision today in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization. Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization will go down in history alongside Brown v Board of Education of Topeka Kansas as one of the … Continue reading “Roe V Wade has been STRUCK DOWN!”

Making America Better One Conversation at a Time

Conservatives are well aware of the concerted effort to silence dissent being made across social media and the mainstream media. Ever wonder why? Surely sharing some stupid post with a few friends, most of whom won’t even click the link, can’t make a difference, right? Wrong. Our abbreviated history lessons leave us with the impression that important stuff happens fast – which is almost never true. From the first stirrings of discontent to the first shot of the American Revolution … Continue reading “Making America Better One Conversation at a Time”

Which is More Important, Ukraine or Taiwan?

Ukraine. Thanks for coming see you… Oh, you want the long answer, huh? Okay, here it is: Ukraine has actually been invaded, Taiwan hasn’t. Happy now? No? Man, you’re a tough crowd. Taiwan produces semiconductors. Ukraine produces food. Semiconductor shortages result in a lot of complaining on social media; food shortages result in riots and starvation. Just because America doesn’t need Ukrainian grain doesn’t mean that countless millions don’t. Massive uprisings abroad do nasty things to supply chains so Taiwan … Continue reading “Which is More Important, Ukraine or Taiwan?”

American Exceptionalism Isn’t License to be Jerks

I don’t see a rational argument against American exceptionalism. There are similarities, sure, but there really isn’t anything quite like America either in the modern world or in history. We’re exceptional. We’re weird. Any way you slice it, the United States of America is unlike any other nation-state ever. Part of what makes us so exceptional is that we try to use our power for good, all over the planet. We’re the first boots on the ground of any disaster. … Continue reading “American Exceptionalism Isn’t License to be Jerks”

The Midterms are the Beginning

Americans are way too used to the idea that government can be put on autopilot. More like cruise control where you glance at your speed now and again to make sure it’s working right but otherwise ignore the speedometer. We show up on election day, vote for our party or whatever names we fancy, and go home and forget the whole thing for another two years. Civic duty done, right? Yeah, no. That’s just punching the time clock – the … Continue reading “The Midterms are the Beginning”

Warehouse Schools

The modern American school system is stupid. We cram hundreds of kids all in the same age groups with only one overworked adult to supervise them and wonder why they act like crazed chickens. How, exactly, do little kids learn good social skills from other little kids? They don’t. They learn to form cliques and to pick on weaker kids – exactly like an over crowded chicken coop. That’s not mere analogy – the similarities are striking and scary. Growing … Continue reading “Warehouse Schools”

Why I Support the AR15 Ban – Sorta

Got your attention, didn’t I? What kind of conservative would support the gun grabbing, authoritarian, crazed liberal government? Not this one. Say what? But, but you support the AR15 ban! Sorta, yeah. Hear me out. I’ve been pro-gun control since the first time I had to crawl home because some #&$^%*^*$!!!! decided to shoot at whatever moved, which happened to be me. I accept the intellectual proposition that responsible gun owners exist. I think unicorns are more likely but I … Continue reading “Why I Support the AR15 Ban – Sorta”

The World is as Okay as it Gets

The only thing that separates the 1970’s from the 2020’s is that the music was much better in the Seventies – and that includes disco. Otherwise, inflation, unemployment, smart alec kids certain that they were changing the world for the better no matter how stupid their ideas were, international conflict, internal conflict, insane presidential politics are all pretty much the same. Sure, some of the steps have changed, but the dance is still the same. I’m a Baby Boomer by … Continue reading “The World is as Okay as it Gets”

For Sale: World, Used, Slightly Muddled

Scripture never tells us to look for intelligence. It mentions reason in a few places but that’s as close as it gets. Instead, Scripture tells us to seek wisdom. It’s all about the wisdom. More valuable than gold and jewels – wisdom is where it’s at. Modern man instead spends his time proving that a raven in as smart as a seven year old human. Great, the raven can identify objects, count to ten and get itself killed crossing a … Continue reading “For Sale: World, Used, Slightly Muddled”
