A post in which I detail a little amateur social experimentation. A few days ago, I conducted a little social experiment. While looking for something I referenced in the past, I ran across something I did and documented about a decade ago. During a debate about the increasingly intrusive actions of government into our daily…

There are forces these days, acting in the open, the aim of which is to destroy America. One argument often heard is that since the Founders didn’t abolish slavery in the Constitution, the lofty ideas in the Declaration of Independence – and those in the Constitution itself – are all lies, and America’s founding is…

“How dare you?!” cries the Biden administration. I know I cannot state empirically that our societal and commercial interactions have taken on a somewhat coarser edge, but anecdotally, I can cite some recent experiences that seem to indicate our society has changed and is continuing to change, and not for the better. The first happened…

“Lower your expectations” is cover for failed policies. “Lower your expectations” is more than the demand from the Washington Post to cope with Biden’s disastrous economic policies, it is the theme of the entire Biden presidency. After a lifetime of begin taught to expect more, to be more, it is very difficult for me to…

“Lottery in June, corn be heavy soon.” The question of whether mankind is inherently good or evil is an interesting one, and it gets even more interesting when one overlays that good/evil dichotomy over the top of systems of governance. Many in the psychological community argue that humans are born amoral, neither good nor bad,…

Perhaps the most dangerous aspect of what the Democrats have done over the past 15 years or so (and continue to do) isn’t really the process or the damage they have done to our governing institutions. While that was and is devastating, the fact they have actively encouraged and condoned actions which, under a Republican…

Given that America is already paying for Biden’s agenda, I think it is appropriate to ask: What has America gained for what it has cost? And keep in mind, the big hammer hasn’t even dropped yet. There are massive spending plans working their way through a Democrat Controlled Congress that are on top of Covid…

Anybody who has been paying attention over the past eighteen months or so, and especially to the reaction to the decisions made by Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema to oppose the Democrats’ proposed trillions in “zero cost” spending binge can identify several things about the behavior of the Democrat Party faithful: Complete and total fealty…

I’ve been thinking and feeling for a while that since the results came in from the 2020 election, our existence has felt a lot like an occupation or an exile in our own land. I know what I write is generally pessimistic, sometimes I exaggerate or enhance as tools to increase attention, but I do…

It can be argued the revolution against collectivism will begin in the sanctuaries of our churches rather than in the streets of our cities. Socialism, and the authoritarianism that follows, is on our doorstep. It is being forced upon us for our own good, so we are told. Capitalism has failed, freedom is for suckers,…

If two DC Republicans have a disagreement over where to go for lunch, the Democrat/Media complex screams “Look, America! The GOP is engaged in a civil war! An existential fight for their party’s soul!” And yet, a true civil war for the soul of the Democrat Party rages unabated and in the open, and nobody…

A post in which I combine observable cues, McDonald’s, dementia, my family, and Joe Biden to make an amateur diagnosis. When people face new or unfamiliar situations, they seek ways to define and therefore, understand them. In many cases people search for and find enough data to process so they can place the situation in…
