On the Brink

We are on the brink of the 2024 presidential election—which, perhaps more than ever, has us on the brink of preserving this wonderful nation or losing it.

Is it true that some Catholics still don’t know for whom they are going to vote, or if they are going to vote? What more do they need to know than they know already? Maybe a lot.

A good case can be made for not voting or voting for a third-party candidate in “non-swing” states, but I believe it imperative for Catholics to vote for Trump in swi...

Stop Using the Word Gender

Historically the words ‘gender’ and ‘sex’ had the same meaning and were interchangeable. The term gender developed in the 1400s and was synonymous with sex (the noun not the verb). This changed in the 20th century.

Somewhere in the mid 20th century, as early as the 1940s, the word gender began to take on a different meaning. This process continued in the 50s and 60s with some in the psychological community on through the 70s with the feminist movement. Gender became associated with masculine and...

Fever Dream

Do you hear that lonesome whistle blow? Wooooo-wooooo! It’s the last train to Palookaville pulling into the station. At this late hour, two passengers get on: Kamala Harris, mom jeans and blazer, rheumy red eyes, half-gone on chardonnay. . .  and an elderly gentleman with a goatee in a colorful but shabby red-white-and-blue suit, famous long ago as “Uncle Sam.”

There’s an election on, in case you haven’t noticed, imminent even. Kamala, everyone seems to agree, has blown it. Can’t answer simple q...

Will Secession Be the Real Winner in November?

It is no secret that America faces a very uncertain future heading into the November 5th elections. On one side are a desperate cadre of elites, criminals, and rabid cultists cowering at the fear of what a Trump electoral victory could mean for their exclusive clique which has run the American political system for at least the last century. On the other side are many ordinary Americans who have been driven to the edge domestically in all aspects of their lives by failed elitist policies and crim...

The Birth of ‘Irrational Exuberance’

“But how do we know when irrational exuberance has unduly escalated asset values . . .?” — Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan, “The Challenge of Central Banking in a Democratic Society,” December 5, 1996

John Law, the early eighteenth-century Scottish gambler and financier, thought the best way to revive an ailing economy was to remove the “great scarcity of money,” as he wrote in a 1705 monetary tract. A decade after its publication he took his ideas to the Continent and sold them to Philippe d’Orlean...

This Reader Supports Face Mask Wearing. What Do You Think?

In response to a piece of writing entitled “Surgical Face Masks Were Made For Surgery And Might Not Even Work For That,” a reader has written to share a reason that face masks are good to wear. A reader writes:

====

Dear Allan,

I think surgical face mask are at least an important reminder to practice sterile technique, when you have to cut away so many of the natural layers of protection against infection to operate on a patient.  There is a certain common sense aspect to it. As to how effective...

The Kims Are Coming!

After a few cat and mouse days of Defense Secretary Lloyd “Raytheon” Austin’s denials, the Pentagon finally yesterday affirmed that there was evidence of a North Korean military presence in Russia. Asked what they were doing in Russia, Austin replied, “What exactly they are doing? Left to be seen. These are things that we need to sort out.”

For days, South Korea (no conflict of interest there) and Ukraine (nor there) had been claiming that thousands of North Korean soldiers had swooped in to res...
