Your vote matters every day, not just once every four years

We may feel defeated now that Trump, who many of us saw as a sort of temporal Katechon holding back the evils of a new world order, has apparently been cheated out of the election. America and the world lost a great opportunity. Under Trump, the United States could have “more gently and organically [become],ContinueContinue reading “Your vote matters every day, not just once every four years”

America Needs Couples Counseling!

Let’s face it, America. We need some serious couples counseling!

Democrats are baby killers! You didn’t put the lid back on the toothpaste! I’ll killContinueContinue reading “America Needs Couples Counseling!”

What’s wrong with being a proud boy?

A lot has been made of the Proud Boys. A teacher at my middle school where I work was ousted because a twitter group calling themselves “We will be ruthless” found out he had joined Proud Boys. The community of holy Leftist zealots kicked in full gear and made sure that the teacher was dismissedContinueContinue reading “What’s wrong with being a proud boy?”

Why conservatives HATE this bumper sticker

The problem with the coexist bumper sticker

When I was a more liberal younger self, I used to really like this bumper sticker. But now, I realize how it could be seen as offensive, especially to religious people. For one thing, the bumper sticker implies blame on religion. It seems to be saying that if religious people were as good and peacefulContinueContinue reading “Why conservatives HATE this bumper sticker”

The credo of the Left is nothing more than an attitude of platitudes

This sign is posted in the yards of many well-to-do liberals in my neighborhood. It really baffles me as to why they decided to make this their creed. The term “creed” comes from Latin meaning “I believe.” The Apostle’s Creed, which I subscribe to, is really where the term came from. “I believe in GodContinueContinue reading “The credo of the Left is nothing more than an attitude of platitudes”

Our liberal education system creates poor soil where our kids can’t flourish

After all, I would have plenty of time. From watching a few YouTube videos, I learned an easy, no-til method for creatingContinueContinue reading “Our liberal education system creates poor soil where our kids can’t flourish”

Apparently, NO lives matter

Americans have been isolated for more than two months, waiting patiently to “flatten the curve” and praying to get rid of Covid 19. Now, suddenly, it’s okay for everyone to get outside and protest in close quarters, side by side, hand in hand? Laying aside whether the “Black Lives Matter” protests are justified, how doContinueContinue reading “Apparently, NO lives matter”

Rioters and Rocket Ships: The age-old pull between emotion and reason

On Wednesday, June 3rd 2020, as SpaceX launched its long-awaited Dragon rocket towards the international space station, rioters took to our streets and began looting, setting fires to police cars, vandalizing, and shouting obscenities at our dedicated police officers. To me, it felt like we were just reliving history. Fifty years ago, on July 16,ContinueContinue reading “Rioters and Rocket Ships: The age-old pull between emotion and reason”
