America May be a Bit Crazy, But the Crazies Don’t Speak for America

/ Unless you’re a Democrat, of course. How’s that working out for ya, Bud Light? Do you really think a Super Bowl commercial is going to make any difference to the people you refuse to apologize to? You know, you customers? Oh. let’s be fair. There are plenty of Republicans who are convinced that arguing on Facebook is a blow for freedom. Well, okay, so maybe it is, a little, but really, do you think calling people names on social … Continue reading “America May be a Bit Crazy, But the Crazies Don’t Speak for America”

Flooding Impoverished Areas with Criminals

Now, call me old fashioned, but this seems like a very bad idea. Evidently, it’s all the rage in progressive circles. The idea goes something like ‘law enforcement disproportionately affects minorities therefore it is racist so we should end this racism by defunding and blaming the police.’ I’m not even trying to be funny; this really is pretty much the way it is described. Needless to say, this hasn’t done any favors to the communities that have tried it. Police … Continue reading “Flooding Impoverished Areas with Criminals”

Can’t Never Could

I used to roll my eyes halfway back into my head every time that my mother said those words to me. It’s a wonder I can still see as many times as I did that. Anytime I was stupid enough to say to my mom “I can’t” she would turn around, look me in the eye and remind me that ‘Can’t never could’. My eyes hurt just thinking about it. Those of you under thirty who are still convinced your … Continue reading “Can’t Never Could”

Fixing America

If you want to make the world a better place, start with the funny face in the mirror. It’s no different for nation states. If you want a better world, start with the stupid country you’re living in. It’s great to shoot for the stars – but pick the low hanging fruit on the way up! Yes, I mix metaphors for a living. Okay, so let’s get the easy stuff out of the way. There is no energy crisis. There … Continue reading “Fixing America”

Is the World Important to America?

That this question needs to be addressed is a testament to the abject failure of modern education. The answer is yes. And now you want to know why, don’t you? Kids today. When I was their age if I wanted to know something I had to walk all the way to the library, uphill, in the snow, both ways! They have the entire Encyclopedia Britannica in their pockets and can’t look up how to spell ‘boo’. It’s B-O-O. Seriously, what’s … Continue reading “Is the World Important to America?”

Hey, Ben and Jerry’s! Give Back the Land You Stole!

Virtue signaling is the stupidest thing since bell bottoms for men. But our leftist friends don’t seem to let that bother them so here we are. SIGH! Here’s a little bit of law school for ya – you cannot legally purchase stolen goods. If it was stolen, it remains the property of the person it was stolen from no matter how much you paid for it. There are all kinds of messy situations where it is very hard or impossible … Continue reading “Hey, Ben and Jerry’s! Give Back the Land You Stole!”

America Needs to Reopen for Business

No, I don’t mean getting back to whatever normal is from the panicdemic. I mean it’s past time America stopped strangling its businesses. Red tape and regulations serve large corporations, not small businesses. Small businesses, not large corporations, employ most Americans. Overregulation is one of the chokeholds on the Middle Class. Take your foot off the brake, America. Oh, stop that nonsense. Sure, there are some valid regulations but that doesn’t make all or even most valid. If you can’t … Continue reading “America Needs to Reopen for Business”

The Best Defense is a GREAT Offense

Castles are defensive, right? I mean the real ones, not the ones that only house princesses and occasional fairy tales. Hulking big fortifications designed to hide whole cities from the Big Bad Wolf at the door, right? Wrong. Castles are some of the nastiest machines ever invented. Yes, machines. Castles kill invaders. It’s what they are designed to do. Get too close and you get dead unless you are on very good terms with the occupants. Those massive walls are … Continue reading “The Best Defense is a GREAT Offense”

Politics are About People

Politics is just groups of people making decisions. We stink at it which makes the political world hilarious and tragic. It’d be a great sitcom. The problem is that the political world affects real people all the time. Every day. Every hour. Every minute. So the answer to the question of why you should care about those idiots in Washington or on Goat Hill or down at the county courthouse or in city hall or on the school board is … Continue reading “Politics are About People”

Why Governmental Politics Matters

Okay, for those of you who are wondering, yes, there are types of politics that don’t involve government. All politics really is is the process of groups of people making decisions. So when you and your friends spend ten minutes deciding between Italian and Chinese, you’ve participated in a political process. But what those idiots in Washington do, that’s different, right? Nah, more power and a lot more rubber chicken, but not really any different at its core. There’s the … Continue reading “Why Governmental Politics Matters”
