I take umbrage with the idea of taxes as an investment. Given the opportunity, even the two-faced Dems spouting nonsense about our patriotic duty to let the government rob us would put their money into something else. Even just your own pocket is likely to produce better results in both the short and long term ... Read more

Wasting some time on MS Now this morning gave me a dose of Mika, sitting and bobbing her head; Mike Barnicle, who, like Biden, made a career out of plagiarism; and Cory Booker, who has turned his career into video clips and sound bites.

It’s no secret that our country is deeply divided today. One side applauds our president and his efforts to keep our citizens safe and make our country stronger. But the president’s opponents despise everything about him, his administration, and his policies. They bitterly resist everything he stands for. It’s not the first time that America’s ... Read more

Another Major League Baseball season will soon be upon us, which brings me to the Czech Republic. And the Holocaust. And Hollywood. I’ll explain. Sports are ubiquitous. They’re everywhere, and they create common ground to connect world travelers. This notion was affirmed during a European trip I once enjoyed with some academicians, “Following Freud’s Footsteps” ...

People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (MEK) is a parasitic anomaly. To call them Iranian is a tactical error and a historical lie. They are a cult of ideological mercenaries who severed their veins from the Iranian motherboard decades ago. They do not represent a political movement; they represent a decommissioned weapon system, repurposed by foreign ... Read more

I run with the logo CALIFORNIA REFUGEE. Simple reason: I lived most of my life in California.

I read the Vermont Democrats’ post-mortem report following their 2024 election debacle, in which Republicans picked up 19 House seats, 6 Senate seats, and the lieutenant governorship (the first time an incumbent LTG was ousted from office since 1815), ending their supermajority status in both chambers. The key insight in the document leaves me wondering ... Read more

Should America, or the United States government, pay reparations to African Americans for slavery? I answer emphatically NO!
