A Day Late

I continue to be baffled why people claim there is no possibility of vote-by-mail fraud.  The system is so full of holes that I believe it should be banned.  Here’s another reason why. Each state has their own rules on when a mail-in ballot must be delivered in order to

Vote-by-Mail Fraud is Real

I was riding my bike the other day and I found a wallet on the side of the road.  It contained just over a hundred bucks, some credit cards and a driver’s license.  I was on the backside of my ride and only a few miles from home, so I

Pants on Fire

I received a voicemail the other day.  The caller left this message: “We spoke about refinancing your home a while back.  It wasn’t the right time for you then, but you asked me to check back with you at a later date to see if we could work together.” But

Meme Manipulation

There’s a meme that took off after the Vice Presidential Debate earlier this week.  It shows two “quotes”, one from each participant. Pence- “Trump and I trust the American people to make choices for themselves and their families. Harris and Biden want to mandate how you care for yourself“. Harris-

The COVID-19 Hoax

We’ve all seen the media reports of Trump calling the coronavirus a hoax.  Except he didn’t.  What he did was compare the Democrat’s attempt to impeach him to their criticism of his response to the virus saying, referring to their criticism, “this is their new hoax”.  Let me put that

Prison of Beliefs

I like to understand how people think.  Not necessarily what they think but rather, how they come to their conclusions.  Lately, I’ve been working to understand how Liberals think the way they do. A few days ago, I wrote an essay entitled “Willful Ignorance” which described the feedback loop of

Cultural Assimilation

They say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.  If someone copies or emulates you, then that person is paying you their highest compliment.  America is often called a “melting pot” because we assimilate the cultures brought here by immigrants.  Assimilating cultures is extremely American.  It’s what we do.

Nothing is Free

I’m always amazed when I hear people talk about free health care or free cell phones or any one of the other government programs designed to give people things they haven’t had to earn.  What many people don’t seem to realize is that nothing is free.  It might be free

Thoughts on Reparations

A friend of mine has been hinting that I should write something about the topic of paying reparations for slavery.  I think it’s time. This week, Governor Newsom signed into law AB3121 which creates a nine-member task force that will inform Californians about slavery and explore ways the state might

The Myth of Racial Division in America

At the first Presidential debate, we heard Joe Biden claim that “ANTIFA is an idea, not an organization”.  The next day, a friend of mine said jokingly that “white supremacy is an idea, not an organization”.  Hmm.  Interesting.  While Joe Biden was being disingenuous (i.e. he was lying) when he
