Most people who work for large American corporations have been dragged (sometimes kicking and screaming) into some sort of seminar or class or program explaining how all of us {well, middle class White people mostly) are irredeemably racist or sexist or classist or religionist(?), and only by admitting that we have a problem can we…

The “Historic” Abraham Accords Are Exciting, But They Are Not Everything
As much as I want to believe that this is the beginning of the end of the Arab world’s vituperative mania and hatred of Israel, The Abraham Accords are more of a shift of geopolitical connections and enemies, rather than a meaningful decrease in the global threats against Israel. That does not diminish the significance…
The Morning Rant
As much as I support and admire the stance of Pastor John MacArthur in his fight against the thugs and fascists of California state government, he (and others who use similar arguments) are accepting the government’s position that religious worship threatens the health and well being of the people, and therefore can be controlled by…
Looks Like We Are Back!
There was a bit of a tear in the space-time continuum, but it has been repaired and we no longer identify as a new-age nutrition guru.
The Morning Report 9/11/2020
Good morning, kids. Friday and 19 years ago today nothing would ever be the same again. Many things became crystal clear that day and among them the fact that the Democrat Party was no longer the loyal opposition but the opposition. Today, it is starkly evident that they’ve gone even beyond being the opposition. In…
The Morning Rant
They can’t help themselves. The left is evil, amoral, simply disgusting and perverse, and yet they have no capacity for introspection, and assume that normal people, deep down in their hearts and minds, feel the same way. Well, most people do not find the sexualization of children to be appealing in any way, and Netflix…
“Hostile Workplace” Is In The Eye Of The Beholder
“Sippican Cottage” is the blog of one of the most amusing people I have ever had the pleasure to read. If you poke around the blog, try to find the beginning of his multi-part series on fixing a rather significant plumbing problem in his about-to-fall-down house in Maine.* Unfortunately he writes in fits and starts,…
The Morning Rant
We fought a war to free ourselves from the tyranny of a monarchy, which is nothing more than a caste system. And what is that? There are some who are better…more important…more deserving…than others. And all based on birth, or titles granted by the existing high caste. What a vile and disgusting idea that is!…
The Morning Rant
This guy beats the simile to death, but it is amusing and apt. And his recap of the evolution of our current mess is enlightening. Revolutionizing the New Global Order: The Godfather Wars I’ll cut to the chase, but the article is worth a read. As the United States and China become more insular, both…
Different Moral Universes Include Different Levels Of Politeness
Ace wrote about Ron Coleman’s recent epiphany, and it struck me that the difference in morality is not confined to the current political insanity in which we are immersed. I am sure that there are philosophical arguments to be made, but “The Golden Rule” is one of the bedrocks of a moral life and a…
