Black Lives Mattered

According to FatalEncounters.org, there have been 23 black men and 1 black woman killed during encounters with law enforcement since election day.  I realize I’ve been paying a lot of attention to the whole election fraud thing, but I can’t believe I completely missed seeing all of those riots. In

Segregation 2020

Segregation is alive and well in the year 2020.  But this time it’s not race that’s separating us, it’s ideas. And this time we’re doing it voluntarily. I’ve tried to have conversations with Liberals.  It’s not fun.  In fact, it’s quite painful.  I like a good argument as much as

The Truth Will Set Us Free

Most people are bad liars.  They have “tells” that can be used to determine if they’re telling the truth or not.  I know a guy that absolutely can’t lie.  Well, technically, he can lie but he’s really bad at it.  Whenever he says something that isn’t true, he blushes.  His

Use of Force

I might be the only person in the United States who feels this way, but I believe that police officers should use more force. Because, if the police used more force, fewer police interactions would result in someone dying. The more time a suspect isn’t restrained properly, the more chances

Priorities

The Washington Post maintains a database of all police-related shootings. It’s the database nearly everyone uses when quoting statistics about police violence. However, it only contains shootings. So, for example, George Floyd isn’t in their database. According to their data, there have been two instances since May 25th (George Floyd’s

Precious Lives

All life isn’t precious. Maybe a more accurate statement is that all lives aren’t equally precious. Don’t get mad at me. I came to that conclusion by watching you. I’ll explain. The argument is that we should all wear masks and social distance because we need to prevent the spread
