The “ do as I say and not as I do” policy no longer fools the public
As the fourth Covid-19 (Delta variant) wave grips the country, the Federal government daily urges everyone to get vaccinated. How then do you explain that there is no policy mandating employees of the…
Two recent “accicental” cases of miscounting highlight why people don’t trust the media or government
The Texas Tribune erroneously reported 5800 children were hospitalized in the state the first week of August. It turns out this number was since the start of the pandemic. That’s not a small error. Yesterday…
I have created this new publication to facilitate Conservative thought and dialog on Medium
“We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union…” are the first words to the preamble to the US Constitution. I understand that the statement of “a more perfect union”…
When you are not setting an agenda, you are perpetually reacting to the other side
There is an adage in the NFL and other sports that defense wins more championships than a good offense. Sure, you have to score points. But the more you can prevent another team from scoring…
From your favorite peanut butter to no furniture, it’s the supply chain stupid
In 2020, there was a standard reply to my inability to reach a phone customer support person. I would hear at almost every voicemail, “wait times are longer than usual due to Covid-19.” After a while, I…
I do think both parties are to blame and both full of hypocrites whose only moral compass is political expediency. However, I have never understood the hatred for Citizens United. You can’t say that corporations should be excluded from giving political donations but it’s ok for unions to. Neither are individuals.

Also the DOJ now wants to pursue potential domestic terrorists while ignoring the illegal ones pouring across the southern bitter. And the FBI largely ignored Antifa inn2020 while Portland burned ever night.
It is a classic philosophical question, and you might be surprised by the answers
Benjamin Franklin wrote, “those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.” Many progressives would argue that they would give some liberty up for permanent security. And…

- I know how to read an analog…
Upon further review, I still feel that his vaccine mandate will not survive a court challenge
Earlier this month, I opined that the federal government does not have the authority to enforce a Covid-19 vaccine mandate. Some readers took issue with this and insisted that I was wrong. I am…
The typical fish fillet or steak sitting on ice in the glass cabinet may have been removed from the ocean weeks before you buy it
I have unfond memories as a child of bad smells in my house. My Internist-father had a strong family history of early heart disease, stroke, and sudden cardiac death. The diet theory of cholesterol became popular in the 1960s. This theory said that meat and eggs were bad for the…
