Bad President or Worse Policies?

Bad President or Worse Policies?

That’s what it comes down to in the Midterms. What a terrible choice our political system has created for us. But I believe we have to vote, and so I’ve made my choice, though I’m not happy about it, and I wish there were a third viable alternative. Despite what he...
For Such A Time As This

For Such A Time As This

And now for something completely different, and I hope uplifting. The Midterms are almost upon us, and I’m frankly so disappointed in the lack of common sense, forward-looking, constructive policies from both parties that I just have nothing more to say on those...
What To Do Now?

What To Do Now?

Like several recent posts, I really don’t want to write this one, because I know it will make some people angry, but I must. And I write not as someone who claims to have all the answers, but as a fellow seeker of the best future for our country. The subject of this...

My Attitude Isn’t Helping Anyone

My Attitude Isn’t Helping Anyone

I don’t know about you, but I badly need an Attitude Adjustment. Everything just seems to be screwed up, from the state of the World in general, to the deep divisions within our country, to I can’t clean my car’s windshield at our Shell station anymore because...
Trumped at the Midterms?

Trumped at the Midterms?

I’m generally a conservative-libertarian person of faith. On most issues you’ll find me in the middle of a square roughly defined by Ronald Reagan, Thomas Sowell, Charlie Kirk and Michael Youssef. I was so energized after the 2024 election, as were most friends and...
