More Questions

I have more questions that our “beloved” leaders need to answer.

When did clean-burning, cheap, and abundant natural gas become the equivalent to dirty coal? How did natural gas that that helped create American energy self-sufficiency, that reduced pollution, and that provided inexpensive electricity become a pariah fuel whose extraction is a war against nature? Which votes of the people declared natural gas development and pipelines to be criminal?  Which lawmakers decided to impoverish people by outlawing the use of natural gas?

Affirmative Action & The Bar

      Comments Off on Affirmative Action & The Bar

There has been much discussion recently about the Supreme Court decision to bar discrimination in college admissions based on the color of one’s skin.  Some of the far left have said it is the end of minorities (think black and brown) being admitted to the college of their choice.

How racist is that idea?  Blacks and Hispanics cannot compete with whites and Asians without government help according to these people.

Is The Dam Breaking?

Dr. Tom Woods has published a piece about racial quotas in medical schools.  Actions like that of Dr. Wang indicate that the pendulum is swinging back.

Yes, I know we’re a “litigious society,” as they say, but it still makes me happy when a good guy sues bad guys who never expected to have to pay for their wrongdoing.

The good guy in question is Dr. Norman Wang, who until 2020 had been a mild-mannered academic who had attracted no controversy of any kind. A cardiologist, Dr. Wang was a professor at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine and director of the fellowship program in clinical cardiac electrophysiology at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. ...

The Democratic Party was inaugurated by Thomas Jefferson and at its birth was firmly opposed to a strong, central government.   Jefferson’s philosophy was based on the fundamental belief that the people are capable of self-government.  Jefferson championed states’ rights and strict constitutional interpretation.

Thoughts that run through the empty caverns of my mind.

Mitch McConnell has been absent for an extended time from the Washington scene.  Everyone has heard how he fell at a dinner and experienced a concussion.  Hospitalization followed with a stint at a rehab facility.  Was all of this an accident?  Or was McConnell taken off the chess board because he wouldn’t play nice?

A Glimmer of Hope

As most people know by now, the hero of the Ukraine, Vladimir Zelenskyy, showed up in the US on Wednesday to get more payola.  Zelenskyy spoke to Congress at length and was showered with repeated standing ovations.  Very few of the assembled Congress critters did not participate in the fawning and swooning.  Matt Gaetz (R-FL) and Lauren Boebert (R-CO) were notable exceptions.

Freedom or Subjugation

      Comments Off on Freedom or Subjugation

As we approach the end of this election cycle, it is time to evaluate just what this election is about.  The Left is screeching about the “end of democracy” if MAGA Republicans are elected to office.  Think about that.  MAGA means Make America Great Again.  Was America great before because democracy did not exist?

I do believe that we are facing a choice between freedom and subjugation, between being human or embracing transhumanism and totalitarianism.

Recently I saw a speech given by a prominent person that expressed a lot of points that are very relevant to our current situation in America.  I have cribbed some from that speech to build this post.

The approach I will use here is to simplify the choices facing the electorate.   I will focus solely on the choices involving our children.
