Consent, independence, and fireworks. We’re one year away from the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. It remains one of the most impactful and revolutionary documents ever written. While our horrific leaders still pay infrequent lip service to it, they obviously don’t remotely believe in the sentiments expressed by Thomas Jefferson. […]
Warriors against reform In the past few days, Los Angeles has been awash in protests, rekindling fond memories of Rodney King, and the long, hot summer of 2020. Well, to be fair, there is a whole lot worth protesting about America 2.0. I mean, what with the overreaching corruption, the taxation without representation, and the crumbling infrastructure. […]
“Hate” in a free society It has become obvious over the past few years that more and more Americans are questioning not only the wisdom behind our unwavering support of Israel, but Jewish power and influence itself. The artist formerly known as Kanye West played a large role here, as did other prominent Blacks like […]
Siberia here we come I have to confess to being a lifelong “denier.” At a very tender age, I recognized that pretty much every authority figure I interacted with was deeply flawed. When you’re a critical thinker, your curiosity being countered with “ours is not to question why, ours is just to do and die” […]
When we last checked in on our dashing hero Donald Trump, he was enthusiastically salivating over the chance to sign the “Take it Down” internet censorship bill. A few days ago, he did indeed sign this very Orwellian legislation. Most of us don’t deal in “revenge porn,” whatever that is, but we have good reason […]

With that “Socialist” word in there, you’d think that it designated some kind of far Left, Bolshevik inspired movement. But from the very beginning, the Nazis- as they came to be known to […]
Recently, a young Black male killed another young White male. This is hardly news, seeing as how every day, young Black males kill. It’s a ‘hood workout. The apparent motive in this case, was that the young Black male felt “disrespected.” In ghetto culture, you don’t accept “disrespect.” You have to respond, too often in […]
I was raised by much older, chronically sick parents. I saw far too much of hospitals as a youngster, which gave me an early insight into the healthcare system. My father was a hospital patient as often as he was at home with his family. For instance, as a seven year old rock and roll […]
Jimmy Carter has died. The first president to hit 100 years of age. In 2015, he’d been diagnosed with stage 4 brain cancer, which had spread to his liver. That’s pretty much a death sentence for mere mortals. But not the 39th President of the United States. The presidents all live to ripe old ages […]
