Open Letter to Beto O’Rourke

Dear Robert, Would like to throw my support to you but I need a couple of clarifications. On the open borders issue, how many “immigrants” would you like to take in – 15M, 20M, 30M. I assume we need enough to make sure Texas turns Blue and stays Blue ensuring no future Republican presidents. Right? How… Continue reading Open Letter to Beto O’Rourke

How to deal with illegal immigrants

First published in August, 2016. Slight modifications, including title change, to reflect that Trump is now president. During the campaign, Donald Trump said he would implement a firm but fair immigration policy. That hasn’t happened yet so I’ve taken a shot at some of the specifics of how to handle the illegal immigrants who are… Continue reading How to deal with illegal immigrants

Charlottesville’s – the example of Never Trump Disease

The media and everyone who didn’t want Trump to be President just accepts and propagates the media’s narrative that Trump is a racist. Where everyone who knows him denies that without reservation. The Charlottesville 24/7 news cycle is a great example of how the “Never Trump Disease” has become epidemic. Go back and listen for… Continue reading Charlottesville’s – the example of Never Trump Disease

New Media Dictionary

It seems that Webster’s will have to work on their dictionary to bring it up to date after this election. The media has successfully expanded the definition of at least three “threatening/criminal” words to cover Donald Trump. Let’s begin with xenophobe. Webster’s definition: one unduly fearful of what is foreign and especially of people of… Continue reading New Media Dictionary

Father of slain Muslim US soldier speech to Dems

No argument that this speech was incredibly moving and well placed in the Dem’s convention. It’s typical of the type of story that the Dems take advantage of over and over to solidify their base and grasp for voters outside their base. Like most people, I feel sorry for the father and understand his anger… Continue reading Father of slain Muslim US soldier speech to Dems

Is the government the new moral authority?

Has the government now become the official moral authority of the land? Let’s say I’m a business owner and I believe all citizens should have equal civil rights. So, I’m OK with same-sex marriage. I don’t discriminate against gays, lesbians, transexuals, people of color, Christians, agnostics, atheists, etc. But, I have this burning desire to have the… Continue reading Is the government the new moral authority?

Higgs Boson vs God

Every time I run across an article about the Higgs Boson I read it. There are a couple of reasons. First, I think if I read enough about the Higgs Boson particle, I might actually begin to understand what the scientists are saying. Second, I find it incredibly interesting that decades and endless amounts of… Continue reading Higgs Boson vs God

I need a time machine

Please transport me back to the non-fiction version of the USA. You know the one where the media-created bag of hot air and the crazy uncle aren’t in charge. After seeing the President’s supposed “rope-a-dope” in the first debate followed by Biden doing his best imitation of Batman’s Joker in the VP debate, I want… Continue reading I need a time machine

Can Journalism commit mass suicide again?

I wrote several pieces during the 2008 Presidential election that said in summary – “Journalism has committed mass suicide”. My logic was based on the role the media played in electing a man to the presidency that was unqualified by every rational measure. Not only did they not vet him, they attacked his opponents without… Continue reading Can Journalism commit mass suicide again?
