Organized sports is a positive influence on America’s youth, not because of those at the pinnacle of those sports, but in spite of them. Working as part of a team, learning that one’s limits are not immutable, the thrill of competition, the joy of winning, and the misery of losing; all of these are valuable….
The Morning Report 10/1/20
Good morning, kids. Thursday and the fallout over the orchestrated media attempted high tech lynching of President Trump, otherwise known as the first presidential debate, continues to rain down. As in virtually everything, with time comes perspective and even just 24 hours to reflect on something is enough. While those who had their hair on fire…
The Morning Report 9/30/20
Good morning, kids. Wednesday, and of course last night’s “debate” if you could call it that is in the lead. Obviously both sides are going to claim their candidate (or in the case of the Left, their hormone-injected gibbering dementia patient) won, but the one, for lack of a better word, “unifying” element of the…
The Morning Rant
The Democrat party constantly accuses Republicans of being racist, jingoistic haters; driving America back to nativist sensibilities. Apparently the secret goal of everyone in America to the right of Alexandra Donkey-Chompers is some agrarian idyll in which everyone is lily White, Protestant, hunts wetbacks for sport, and hates everyone even slightly different. And yet…the vitriol…
The Morning Report 9/29/20
ood morning, kids. Tuesday and tonight, supposedly, will be the first Trump vs. shrieking rutabaga debate. The Dems have nothing except Biden’s 47-year career of enriching himself and his family at the expense of the taxpayer and the dissolution of our society. That’s why the goniffing pervert dementia patient will just pound his shoe and…
The Morning Report 9/28/20
Good morning, kids. Start of a new week and wishing a blessed Yom Kippur and an easy fast to all the members of the Tribe. The big story of course is the President officially nominating Amy Coney Barrett to fill the vacancy at the Supreme Court. I am still of the opinion that there should…
Yes, We Are Better Off In Many Ways Than We Were 50 years Ago, But That Entirely Misses The Point
“Cafe Hayek” is a reliably consistent website that faithfully carries on the legacy of Friedrich Hayek, a vociferous defender of free markets and classical liberalism. He has always impressed me because he moved from socialism to free markets, just as Thomas Sowell did, as he learned more about the world. That says something about the…
Science Isn’t Dead, But It Is Ailing
Science faces a crisis of confidence owing to its politicization and the replication crisis. The latter, which intersects with concerns about scientific fraud, is the subject of this post, a matter on which I’ve previously commented. (OK, ranted.) Part of the impetus was from a study by Amgen, summarized in Wikipedia as follows: Out of…
The Morning Report 9/25/20
Good morning, kids. The weekend is here and there are a number of things potentially flaming skull-worthy (sounds like a 19th century pen name) all popping at once so lez-be-on our way. First, with Ron Johnson now openly calling Goofy Joey Bivalve the wonder nominee a liar with regards to his son’s criminal behavior, Rand…
The Morning Rant
I can rant and rave all day and all night about the many systemic problems we have with law enforcement in America. Too militarized; too isolated from the the people they are supposed “to protect and serve;” far too willing to protect their authority over absolutely harmless people…up to the point of shooting them; part…
