The familiar adage, “the longest journey begins with the first step,” is so true and very applicable to today’s American decline. Particular to my life, I now consider the Supreme Court’s ruling that banned prayer from our nation’s classrooms as being that first step to America’s downward spiral. I suppose that for me, the importance … Read more
Harvard is one of many universities pissing and moaning about the Trump Admininstrations opposition to the discrimination embdedd in DEI programs. They must divest themselves of the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion cult to get future federal funding. After all, this is the sort of top-down, swift-acting, executive-mandated government you asked for, and DEI is one … Read more
The cleverest of clever people are convinced that they can continue to peddle their discriminatory cultural Marxism if they change what it’s called. And why not? They’ve been doing that successfully for decades. Global Warming is a four-decade-old project to undermine free market capitalism by claiming that the Western lifestyle is destroying the planet. It’s … Read more
Women on the political left have defended public school grooming, drugging children despite parental objections, cross-dressing men in garish caricatures of women (to read to children at the library), and guys joining girls’ sports teams as girls despite the inequity of it all, and the dangers. They hate themselves or you or both, and they’re … Read more
How is it that everything will be proper when the Supreme Court rules? Theoretically, it should be so, but when questions nudge the public’s curiosity, remaining silent is not the answer to possible judicial abuse or this anarchy. If anything, the past contains a record of the high court renderings which have often differed from … Read more
We use many catchphrases to talk about the America we conservatives want to return to. The America of Old, My Father’s America, and the Trump favorite, Make America Great Again, are a few, but what do they really mean? Before we define our America, let’s distinguish what it is not. America is not a global … Read more
Snow White, the live-action version cobbled together by Disney, opened over the weekend with devastating reviews and empty theaters coast to coast. In my community, there were no sellout crowds on opening day and the thinning turned to zero tickets in the final afternoon and evening of the weekend. No showings are scheduled past Wednesday. … Read more
The D.C. establishment seems confused about why President Donald Trump and his administration are doing so well with American voters. Still, if they had been paying attention, Vice President JD Vance explained this months ago. A post from a left-wing account came across my X feed over the weekend. It included a screenshot of an interview with … Read more
I’m not certain why we still have a US Department of Agriculture. To pay farmers not to grow stuff. To grow some stuff instead of other stuff. To kill healthy chickens so they don’t get bird flu (farmers get nothing if the birds die on their own, or so I hear). It also wastes millions … Read more
Ludwig von Mises called the universities of his day “nurseries of socialism” because of the inevitable socialist bias of all government-funded universities. He also said that there is always a remnant of students, however, that does not buy into the endless drumbeat about the alleged wonders of socialism and the “imperfections” of free-market capitalism. It is this … Read more
Whatever one’s interests might be, whether it’s religion, family, education, or American culture, the enemy’s effort to devalue and eliminate is obvious! Considering this as anything other than a coordinated agenda is delusional and dangerous. Also, this approach suggests that your education misled and your most truest source, the family, was successfully outspoken or devalued. … Read more
WE’RE USED TO HAVING PEOPLE IN THE USA WHO DON’T WANT TO BE AMERICANS – WE CALL THEM PROGRESSIVES: Go ahead, give me the names of “Progressives,” in this partisan environment, that agree that the America that our Founders envisioned is the one they want – and legislate. I doubt very much you’d find many, … Read more
I have nothing against labor-saving devices. However, I don’t include “thinking” as labor that should be saved. Back in the ‘70s, pocket calculators were a new thing. Everybody got one. And then we raised a generation of children who could not add 2 and 2 without a calculator. There is a world of difference between … Read more
Why has the United States’ government become so politically dysfunctional? How can it be that the nation—partially founded on John Locke’s principles of liberty and Montesquieu’s concept of separation of powers—today has such a corrupt and oligarchic federal government? As the young political union that it was in 1781, based on the Articles of Confederation, the United States was unique. Unlike the nation-states of the … Read more
Diversity Equity and Inclusion (DEI), and its misery loves company pals Critical Race Theory (CRT) probably figured that, after people fell for COVID, they’d fall for anything. Having Joe Biden’s cultural Marxist puppeteers in the Oval Office for four years helped. On what BLM begot, they profited. Anti-racism is racism. Orwellian, anyone? America could save … Read more
And that we are obligated to act in ways to protect everyone else – even those that we don’t know. There are times when I wonder why I don’t quit earlier but then I remember why I sally forth to confront some of these WAY Leftist folks. Sure, I like the debate, and the more … Read more
The many flavors of communism promise a lot while appealing to peoples’ envy. With your support, they will “stick it to the Man” only to turn around and become the “Man,” leaving nothing to envy. From X, a compilation by WretchardTheCat: What a sell job – a snow job, a promise of everything to everyone, … Read more
Anne Kirkpatrick got the ass end of the cybersphere handed to her on New Year’s Day and for several days following it. She looked like another clueless diversity hire, a problem she failed to resolve – much like Plan B (Kamal Harris) – by opening her mouth and speaking. People died, and her response didn’t … Read more
It is no secret that Wikipedia is part of the #woke media complex. Its editors are a cabal of Pharisees, and the content is increasingly suspect, even on topics like science. What was once intended as an encyclopedia by the people is one by certain people with a very narrow left-wing sense of meaning meant … Read more
Aside from the obvious charms of the state’s natural beauty, its variety of coastline, lakes, hills, and mountains, its plentiful ice cream shops, and its abundant maple syrup, humans have created additional benefits of living here. Below are five man-made reasons to be thankful for calling the “live free or die” state home. Capt. John … Read more
