Overcoming Tragedy
How do you overcome great tragedy? Suppose that you have been personally affected by a horrible crime, or an event in history leaves you horribly disillusioned. What do you do? We live in a tough world with events that occur beyond our control. In the past day, eleven people were murdered in a synagogue. You watch…

Shut Them Down
For the good of the country and the world, Harvard and Yale must be shut down. Why not? We shut down criminals. We shut down companies that engage in rampant fraud. Why shouldn’t Harvard and Yale be held accountable? They should be. The problem with these schools is that they promote elitism. Their near exclusive…

Our Way of Life
Sometimes I worry that I won’t have anything to write about. But then a knucklehead shows up on television from either the right or left to say something stupid. If you are young, let me save you years of frustration. All politicians are knuckleheads, and very few of them have the guts to ask critical…

The Bond Scam
What would happen if we got rid of the bond market I’ve been looking at the bond market for over 35 years, and it’s as confusing today as it was 35 years ago. It shouldn’t be confusing for a bond is just a loan. Yet economists have gobbledygooked bonds into a state of incomprehensibility. They…

The Bombs
Today, according to the MSM, pipe bombs were sent to various Democratic Party leaders and sympathizers. Bombs were sent to CNN as well. CNN contributors are already champing at the bit to blame Trump. Oddly, none of the bombs went off. Not so oddly, no one in the MSM has offered the possibility that these…

Rethinking Israel
What can Jews and Christians do to prevent another Holocaust? Not what they’re doing now. The current thinking is to have a homeland, Israel, where Jews can find safe haven. It seems like a good idea. And I would say that it would be a good idea if man were smart. But if man were…

The Circus is in Town
Hey, I thought the Ringling Brothers Barnum and Bailey Circus shut down. Apparently not because the circus is coming to Houston today. Well, it’s a circus of sorts. Donald Trump is showing up at a rally with Ted Cruz. He’s speaking right now, lying his ass off, tooting his own horn, hurling insults. Trump, of course.…

It’s Your Republic
When Ben Franklin exited Independence Hall, he was asked what type of government we would have. He answered: A republic if you can keep it. That’s an odd reply. I guess he must’ve known something. I guess your Founding Fathers must’ve known something. Indeed they did. The Founding Fathers – unusually gifted men who stand as…

Conspiracy Theorists
I’m wondering why the Washington Post cares about what really happened to Jamal Khashoggi. The Saudis say that he was accidentally killed after engaging in fisticuffs with an unspecified Saudi citizen. Afterwards, they say, he was cut up into pieces and disposed of to disguise what really happened. Several patsies, er, culprits have been arrested.…

Death and Resurrection
Venezuela is dying. The country lived large a few years ago; it was making a helluvalota money in oil with which it lived large. Unfortunately Venezuela didn’t follow the advice of Ben Franklin who would have advised them that a penny saved is a penny earned. Or to save for a rainy day. Instead Venezuela…
