I’ve been listening to the audio book “The Road to Serfdom” by F. A. Hayek.  I guess I’m about halfway through.  I’m shocked at how well he rebuts the statements made today about democratic socialism.  It’s like no one has read his book. But the thing that leapt out at me was his discussion of […]

I talked to both of my kids over the weekend about 9/11.  They are 9 and 13 years old.  I asked them what they had learned about what happened.  My youngest said “That’s when the towers fell.” We had a good discussion about it.  While it’s true that the towers fell, those words don’t do […]

The American government was designed to be a government of the people, by the people and for the people.  The collectivists don’t and can’t see it this way since they want a government that is separate from and above the people.  They claim to be for the people (collectively), but in reality, they benefit the […]

I had a friend in my county that would say “Vote early and vote often” on every election day.  It was obviously a joke.  In rural Nebraska it would be obvious if people were doing that.  I grew up in northwest Indiana and got to hear Chicago news every day.  It was well known and […]

Introduction: DNA testing is an important way to know where you fit in the intersectional matrix, but there are things that it can’t do.  DNA testing cannot accurately predict life expectancy.  Too […]

I watch way too much TV.  Not much of a confession since I don’t plan to change things.  Lately, I’ve been really offended at the woke left pushing their religion on me.  A comedy pushed their views on race and privilege on me.  Several dramas with very honorable police officers as characters preached about their […]

Over the years I’ve enjoyed a British comedy named Keeping Up Appearances. It’s from the early 1990’s, but reruns still show up on PBS. It’s the story of Hyacinth Bucket (pronounced “Bouquet”) who is a lower middle-class woman who pretends to be high society. Her lower class family and their problems are a continual problem […]

I work in IT and got an email from Homeland Security with the subject “Secretary Mayorkas to Provide Remarks on Cybersecurity Vision for DHS.” It’s about an upcoming webcast. Here is how the message started: “The U.S. is confronted with unprecedented cybersecurity challenges, and confronting them is a top priority for DHS under the Biden-Harris […]

I really enjoyed reading the thread on watching the various Star Trek series.  I have fond memories of the shows and it’s fun to see others enjoying them still. Another fun show from that era is Hogan’s Heroes.  I love how they mocked the evil Nazi’s in the height of the cold war.  If the […]

Isn’t it illegal to promise someone something if they will vote for a candidate?  Didn’t Joe Biden do that Monday, promising a check for $2000 if Georgia voters voted Democrat? Seriously, didn’t he cross a legal line and break election law?  Or was it just sleazy?
