What Greens don't get about volcanoes, oceans, and weather
What Greens don't get about volcanoes, oceans, and weather: Despite Green propaganda, recent Australian floods were not caused by coal, cattle, or cars. Weather is driven by winds; solar energy powers the winds and draws moisture for them from the oceans. These eternal natural rain-makin...
What beachfront property says about global warming
What beachfront property says about global warming: Global warming is a crisis no one believes in. At least, most people don't believe in it. The market shows us that. More technically, people voting in the mortgage market with their money on balance do not believe in global warming.
I was wrong about Trump
I was wrong about Trump: I recently wrote a column about why I believed Trump should not run in 2024. I was wrong. I allowed my distaste for Trump’s personality to override his virtues, which are considerable. Some people want Trump without his vices. I was among them -- until yesterday when I watched and listened to Tom Klingenstein’s speech titled “Trump’s virtues.” It was masterful and shamed me that I did not make the distinction between Trump's character and his virtues, the former being deeply flawed, the latter being almost perfect. I need to man up in my defense of the former President's virtues. The speech was among the most pointed I have heard and deserves some exposure.
The Demise of American Citizenship
The Demise of American Citizenship: From 1860 to 2000, in the largest legal migration in human history, over 61 million immigrants arrived in the United States. They were not only escaping poverty and oppression, but they were eager to assimilate and attain the most sought-after ...

A Chinese Intelligence Operation in America’s Great Plains?
A Chinese Intelligence Operation in America’s Great Plains?: The meaning of weiqi, the ancient Chinese game of strategy, is ‘encirclement game.’ But in weiqi it isn’t enough to surround enemy stones to capture ground. It’s vital to have some of your stones within enemy territory. When you then lay siege, swathes of the board fall with no fighting. China’s leaders, strategists, and generals swear by Sun Tzu and weiqi: they combine the lessons of the philosopher’s Art of War with principles of the game to win without fighting, deploying long-term plans and deception, skirmishing on many fronts, and creating outposts hidden in plain sight.

Trump or DeSantis: Who Is the Man for the Times?
Trump or DeSantis: Who Is the Man for the Times?: Elon Musk recently declaring that we need to move on from President Donald Trump is the latest example of chatter I have noticed lately on the news and conservative blogs about why we need to do an about-face to Governor Ron DeSantis as our presidential nominee in 2024.
The question is whether this conversation is from the people or manufactured by Deep State operatives.

The Leftist Strategy: Take America Down before Anyone Notices
The Leftist Strategy: Take America Down before Anyone Notices: Admiral Grace Hopper once said it's "much easier to apologize than to get permission." She's right.

The Party of Violence
The Party of Violence: Democrats are openly the party of violence and death. Their policies fail so they must advocate violence to get them implemented.
Democrats and their spinoff-isms promote and glamorize abortion, the killing of human beings. Barack Obama notoriously stated that he didn’t want to see women being “punished with a baby.” Elizabeth Warren said that women who go to crisis pregnancy centers are met by people who “want to do them harm.” Liberals clearly believe that giving birth is not desirable but killing babies is.
Homeschooling as a Safe Haven

Inflation at 9.1% now, and Democrats still can't pin that tail on the donkey
Inflation at 9.1% now, and Democrats still can't pin that tail on the donkey: Inflation has hit 9.1% now, its highest level since the post-Jimmy Carter hangover year of 1981, and there's no sign it's letting up.

The Age of Trump
The Age of Trump: One hundred years from now, historians will be looking back and calling this the Age of Trump, for Donald Trump has as much clout today in America that only the most notable presidents in American history have ever seen.
