More than two years ago my grandson Scott sent me a copy of Sean Carroll’s book, The Big Picture.  Carroll is a theoretical physicist at the California Institute of Technology and a highly respected scientist and writer in his field.  I wrote a review of Carroll’s book on this blog on September 5, 2019. Carroll […]

With the raging heat wave in Europe and America there will be renewed calls for immediate and drastic action against climate change.  Unfortunately, nothing can be achieved over the short run.  If human activity is a prime mover in climate change, as most scientists believe, it took years to get ourselves into this mess, and […]

On July 20, 1969, millions of people gathered around their televisions to watch Neil Armstrong and Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin became the first human beings to walk on the moon.  After a few more landings, our space scientists turned their attention to things like the shuttle.  Now more than fifty years later, we are planning a return […]

The ACLU pressed the state of New Jersey to house prisoners according to their stated sexual identity.  The state agreed, at least on a trial basis.  Recently Demi Minor, a 27 year old transgender male identifying as a female, was transferred from a women’s prison after impregnating two female inmates.  Now he/she is fighting to […]

Senator Elizabeth Warren recently complained  that “In Massachusetts right now, those crisis pregnancy centers that are there to fool people who are looking for pregnancy termination help outnumber true abortion clinics by 3 to 1. We need to shut them down here in Massachusetts, and we need to shut them down all around the country. […]

Goddess of Reason Installed in Notre Dame On July 14, 1789, the Bastille was stormed by French citizens anxious to throw off the yoke of aristocratic oppression.  The leaders of the Revolution had an idealistic dream of a constitutional monarchy founded on the principles of liberte, egality, fraternite.  Within a few years the king had […]

I’m certain that many of you read that Justice Kananaugh and family were recently harassed while having dinner at a downtown Washington restaurant.  They had to leave the place via a rear door in order to evade the mob. Such conduct is inexcusable.  Democrat Party leaders should condemn it; instead, some of them cheer it […]

In 2019 Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez predicted that the world would end in twelve years.  At the time I thought she was referring to the climate crisis.  Now I am coming to believe that she was referring to the anticipated Democrat Party take-over of the Federal government.  The Democrats won control of the House in January 2019 […]

I often observe instances in which enemies of traditional values foist destructive social views on an unsuspecting audience.  This is especially true of the entertainment industry, and I believe the practice to be quite pervasive. Let me provide one small example. I enjoyed the 1990 movie Kindergarten Cop.  It was a fun show, and I’ve […]

What transpires in the bowels of the Federal bureaucracy?  Sometimes that bureaucracy is described as a swamp, but perhaps it would be more accurate to compare it to the intestines of a giant leviathan.  That would help explain the occasional leakage of noxious gases.  Something foul is being produced. Recently, Congressman Jim Banks, Chairman of […]
