There is an interesting trichotomy that has been created in our political landscape. One the one hand, we have a political movement that typically abhors any attempt to reduce government power, the Democrats, are clamoring for the abolishment of an entire department – Immigration and Customs Enforcement (I’m confident they really don’t want to abolish…
Interviewed tonight by CNN’s immaculately dressed and coiffured Anderson Vanderbilt Cooper, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez voiced support for the heroic firefighting efforts in California, Nevada and Utah. “Fire departments are perfect examples of socialism”, said the up and coming star of the Democrat Party. “They are paid by the collective for the good of the collective and…
The California legislature just passed a sensible straw control law declaring the following: No straw dispensers may be painted black or have any sort of handle. “Bump” dispensers what distribute more than one straw at a time may not be sold. Dispensers that may contain more than 10 straws will be confiscated and not to…
It is possible America has crossed a boundary from which there is no return. I don’t mean that to imply that Trump caused it, it is more likely that he is the product of it. I was thinking about this in conjunction with something Mollie Hemingway of the Federalist, tweeted this week: “Every now and…
In his 1942 book, “The Myth of Sisyphus”, French Philosopher Albert Camus wrote, “The absurd does not liberate; it binds. It does not authorize all actions. ‘Everything is permitted’ does not mean that nothing is forbidden…” It is important to recognize absurdity when it presents itself. If there is such a thing as a laboratory…
“Friend, either you’re closing your eyes To a situation you do not wish to acknowledge Or you are not aware of the caliber of disaster indicated By the presence of a pool table in your community Well, ya got trouble, my friend, right here I say, trouble right here in River City…” ~ Robert Preston,…
If you feel as though American civilization, perhaps the most successful variant of western civilization, is hell bent on destroying itself, you aren’t wrong. Issues ranging from the complex, i.e. concepts like “gender fluidity”, to the most basic such as pubic defecation on the streets of San Francisco seem ample evidence of a culture in…

If you listen, you will hear people on the Left constantly complaining about how our system is broken and that this is ‘proof’ that Capitalism does not work. Well, I have a different understanding of what most people mean when they say ‘Capitalism,’ but we’ll set that aside…
“I’m so disappointed in the President. If I was face to face with Putin, I would have torn him an expansive auxiliary rectum. Yessiree, Bob. You can count it.” ~ Generic Feckless Progressive (D-Fantasy Land), Photo Op Address to CNN, MSNBC and the New York Times (July 17, 2018) If the current Democrat rhetoric regarding…

Our friends on the American Left are always talking about ‘democracy.’ They want us to believe they are the Party that supports and defends ‘democracy.’ Unfortunately, nothing could be farther from the truth. The American Left wants nothing to do with ‘democracy.’ What they seek is a One-party…

One of the main reasons so many people dismiss the notion of Natural law is that they do not recognize it when they see it asserting itself in their daily lives. Well, the melt-down over Trump’s press conference after his meeting with Putin is a perfect example of…

WARNING! This post is intended for mature, rational, thinking readers: people who may not necessarily agree, but who can and will acknowledge objective truth and the rules of logic and right reason. It is wholly unsuited for anyone who does not meet this criteria. Many Americans like to…
Here’s something that bugs the hell out of me. It came to the front of my consciousness today because I was working with a colleague who has a difficult contract situation on his hands and we spent a long time reading and studying the verbiage of the contract and all its clauses and addenda. For…
Please be forewarned, what follows contains objectionable language some may find offensive.The fact I even felt compelled to write those words is an indicator of how far we have fallen as a society and a culture. First a couple of questions – how many people do you know or have heard about having their career…

OK, if you have not been paying attention for the last — Oh, I’d say 20-30 years — this is going to sound like ‘conspiracy theory,’ especially if you can’t keep enough of this in your head to start drawing the connections. However, I can assure you, this…

You can be a citizen of the United States without being an American! As difficult as it may seem for many to understand or — better yet — accept, it is true. This is because being an “American” has nothing to do with this nation. When this nation…
Humans have a natural desire to be validated – and to be valid, by definition, means to be right (not right politically, but correct). I would also equate this validation with a desire for meaning – to be seen by others as being worthy of attention and existence. Some folks seek meaning through external validation…
There were no fewer than a half a dozen letters to the editor and op ed pieces in the Salt Lake Tribune onion section that included the words “tyranny” and “racism” – referring to President Trump, of course. There are apparently a contingent of “Hair on fire” progressives in Utah who are now worried about…
As Anthony Kennedy leaves his seat on SCOTUS, the abortion debate rages anew (actually, it never stops) but as it does, I have two questions that I believe need to be discussed and it is these: Has abortion been a net positive or a net negative for women? Is abortion necessary in 2018? The “pro”…
Let’s say I am elected the leader of a group of 100 people, those 100 are made up of a representative sample of the US population – 62 of them are white, 18 are Hispanic, 13 are black and the remaining 7 are a mixture of other races. 48 of them are male, 50 are…
