[April 24, 2024] The idea that college today in America is worse than useless is not new. But since the Hamas terror attack on Israel, there has been an explosion of violent anti-Semitism on many college campuses, fueled by the pandering of college presidents to “protestors.” Extremists are now running these Woke asylums, and that is downright dangerous.… Read More »
[April 23, 2024] I’ve long asked myself this question, “Why did non-slaveholding Southerners fight in the Civil War?” Like so many Americans, I had relatives who fought and died on both sides of the war, many brother against brother opposing each other on the same battlefield. But the question is rarely discussed or just dismissed as unimportant. Fortunately,… Read More »
[April 20, 2024] The government of Iran is a bit of an enigma, combining puzzling behavior with emotionally bombastic talk. For those in the West, we often wonder why Iran would attack a nearby country with a superior military, and a will to use that military. My thinking is that there are two main reasons Iran has stepped… Read More »
[April 15, 2024] One of the lessons from life is that we must be alert to the beauty in life, for there is little of greater value.

[April 12, 2024] A week ago, I wrote about R.K. Rowling’s potential arrest for telling the truth about the “trans craze.” Now that Scotland’s Hate Crime Law is in effect for one week, there are over 8,000 complaints submitted, and the police force is in an uproar. But what is most ironic is that many of these complaints… Read More »
[April 9, 2024] Ten years ago, I wrote about the failure of the Obama Administration to protect the fledgling democratic movement in Ukraine from being destroyed by the Russian war machine. I wrote, “Since the U.S. had no strategy, policy, or leadership on the Ukraine War, that … we are accepting [read violent] behavior” by Russia (see link).… Read More »
[April 6, 2024] Yesterday, I was at a local car dealership getting repairs completed on my car and sat in the waiting room where the television was on the CNN channel. Jake Tapper interviewed ex-Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta and socialist Bernie Sanders. Tapper was questioning both, Bernie followed Leon, about President Biden’s turnaround, no longer supporting Israel… Read More »
[April 3, 2024] As a follow-up to yesterday’s article about Communism, Dr. Jordan Peterson looks into those attracted by the Marxism that powers the Communist ideology. His thoughts are particularly important since Marxism is growing in the West, alongside Woke ideology, while simultaneously, Communism is failing everywhere it is tried. “Marxism fell out of favor in the 1970s,… Read More »
[April 2, 2024] Here is something controversial: Communism is the worst political system of the modern era, according to any objective measure. Today, we can see that over the past few decades, Communism has failed both as a political ideology and economic system. Communist nations are struggling: Russia, China, Venezuela, North Korea, Cuba, and Laos. Only Vietnam has… Read More »
[March 28, 2024] The idea that no culture is superior or inferior to any other is not new. We call this way of thinking Cultural Relativism and is an outgrowth of the ideology of multiculturalism. Many firmly believe this to be true and aggressively defend that position on the grounds that morality knows no bounds, and thus, the… Read More »
