Words and Deeds

President Trump opens himself up to the media in an unprecedented degree, and in his exchanges with reporters he often expresses his thoughts in a disorganized manner. He also resorts to frequent hyperbole and braggadocio. I wish he was more articulate. I wish he was a great orator. Instead, we have a leader who suffers […]

Therians

Yesterday I wrote a blog in which I described Therians as persons who identify themselves as some sort of nonhuman animal – cat, bear, wolf, etc. Perhaps professionals have another term for this sort of madness, but I don’t know what it is. For the moment, I will stick to Therian. It seems that Tyler […]

Madness 2025!

Recent news reports indicate that Charlie Kirks assassin had a roomate who identified himself as Transgender. Also, it appears that both assassin and roommate had some sort of obsession with animal identities. This caused me to think of an blog article that I wrote last year about a strange form of gender insanity. It appears […]

A Spanish Pirate

It was recently announced that the rotted remains of the Spanish pirate ship Fortuna had been found along the shore of the Cape Fear River not far from Wilmington, North Carolina. I told the story of the Fortuna several years ago. Here’s a repeat: Interesting bits of history are often discovered in unusual places.  In […]

Changing Times

A few days ago the Texas legislature, after many failed attempts, passed a bathroom bill. It effectively blocks male transgenders from accessing female private spaces. There appears to no corporate kickback or public shaming. What a change from 2016, when North Carolina passed similar legslation. When North Carolina passed a so-called “bathroom bill” in 2016, […]

Shatterd Icons

In their war against traditional societal norms, leftist progressives sometimes elevate deeply flawed persons to near iconic status while villifying their perceived oppressors. Nowhere is this illustrated more clearly than in the case of George Floyd. Floyd was not an evil man, yet he was seriously flawed. Reading a brief biography, it appears that he […]

Cleaning Up the Capital

About two weeks ago President Trump announced a temporary federal takeover of the police department in Washington, DC.  He also stated his plan to clean up the city, remove homeless encampments, etc.  Since Washington is a federal city, Trump is authorized to do this.  However, his time for action is limited unless Congress votes an […]

Self-Evident (Redux)

Our Declaration of Independence begins with the words “We hold these truths to be self-evident.” What were our founding fathers saying?  They were asserting that certain  fundamental rights are God-given, not subject to the laws of parliament or the whims of magistrates and kings.  These wise men also realized man’s fallibility.  They therefore devised a […]

Dead Horse?

There’s an old saying, “No sense in beating a dead horse.” True, but perhaps the horse is not entirely dead. On several occasions I have witnessed a Democrat legislator browbeating a Republican witness or testator by asking “Who won the 2020 election.”   The obvious intent is to force the Republican to admit that Biden won […]
