[August 20, 2023] Investigations into what caused the apocalyptic blazes on parts of Maui will continue for years and, to no one’s surprise, the outcome will be unsatisfactory. I’ve often written that when leaders are incompetent, bad things happen. Unfortunately, early information from the Maui fire suggests an unusually high degree of government incompetence that made things much… Read More »
[August 19, 2023] I wouldn’t say I liked school. I never liked school. It’s not that I hated school or was disgusted by it. Going to class every day just wasn’t what I wanted to do. Of course, today, I disapprove of that attitude, it’s not very helpful, and it worked greatly to my disadvantage. Alas, I did… Read More »
[August 18, 2023] Earlier this year, I wrote a popular article titled, Don’t Go to College. I still stick by that advice. And I’m not the only one with that opinion.

[August 17, 2023] Overnight, Oliver Anthony became a sensation with his song “Rich Men North of Richmond.” You gotta love this guy. He does something most men talk about but are afraid to do; he lives off-grid in Virginia with his three dogs (gosh, only three dogs?). To put it gently, the song is a big FU to… Read More »
[August 16, 2023] When my brother was five, and I was seven, my father took us on a three-day camping trip down the Sabine River on the Texas-Louisiana border.

[August 15, 2023] Dr.Jordan Peterson tells us that we are mentally sane as independent beings because others will correct us whenever we do something stupid. People are giving corrections to us all the time, non-stop, and we are broadcasting sanity signals back and forth. We smile at people if they behave properly and act like we would like… Read More »
[August 14, 2023] This is really good news! The U.S. Women’s National Soccer Team was eliminated from the FIFA Women’s World Cup after losing to Sweden. This marks the earliest exit in history for the team. The U.S. team has won the tournament four times, more than any other national team. This loss is the worst for the… Read More »
[August 13, 2023] Shocking video of the UK Police violently arresting an autistic 16-year-old girl. The West Yorkshire police arrested the girl for saying a policewoman looked like her “lesbian nana.” This is deemed a ‘hate crime’ in the UK. The terrified girl was dragged away by seven police officers charging her with a “homophobic public order offense.”… Read More »
[August 12, 2023] Wow, my phone has been ringing off the hook. The wild and crazy things going on over the past day or so make it hard to dig into the details, so I am putting out one of my ‘clearing the spindle’ articles. Initially, I would write about lessons from the Hawaii wildfires that killed at… Read More »
[August 11, 2023] Convicted child predator Jack Reynolds, who spent more than 12 years in prison for molesting children in the 1980s, agreed to share his techniques as a predator (link to article and video here).
