The Screens Are Killing Your Children

I was recently made aware of an 8-year-old with an addiction to pornography. I will repeat that: an 8-year-old with an addiction to pornography. In fact, I will repeat it again because I worry that we have become so desensitized that this statement will not elicit the shock and horror that it should. Recently, I was told of an 8-year-old, a small child who hasn’t even hit puberty, who is addicted to watching hardcore pornography—you know, the really vile kind that cries out to heaven.

I heard th...

China Might Not Want Russia To Lose, But It Might Not Want Russia To Win Either

A Russian loss would be catastrophic for China’s security, while a Russian victory could end the discounted energy bonanza that’s helping it maintain its economic growth amidst the slowdown, not to mention accelerate the US’ “Pivot (back) to (East) Asia” for more muscularly containing it.

The South China Morning Post (SCMP) cited unnamed sources to report that Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi told his EU counterpart that China doesn’t want Russia to lose in Ukraine because the US’ whole focus mi...

‘The Network’ in the Worlds of the Elites

Is there something about liberal elite networks, you should understand?

Half the country is up in arms about President Donald Trump’s inexplicable decision to mock his base, because many are appalled that Attorney General Pam Bondi seems to be orchestrating a coverup of a serial rapist of children. Bondi’s Justice Department released a memo last week: “The two-page document said the department found no evidence of an Epstein client list and that no additional files from the investigation would b...

No Escape From Washington’s Fiscal Doomsday Machine

If you don’t think Washington is in the maws of a Fiscal Doomsday Machine, think again.

And the place to start is with the 30-year CBO projections—expressed as the dollar increase from the current $29 trillion level of publicly held US Treasury debt.

To wit, if Washington does nothing except leave current tax, spending and structural deficit policies in place (i.e. baseline policy), the publicly-held debt will grow by $102 trillion over the next three decades, reaching a staggering 154% of what ...

Why the Covid Conspirators Won’t Be Held Accountable

One hot, early August, 1973 Sunday afternoon, I was walking alongside my big brother outside the third-base side of Shea Stadium before a major league baseball game. That since-demolished stadium had open sides, with vertical cables that supported a scattered array of ornamental sheet-metal blue and orange squares, displaying the home team’s colors. From the concourse’s upper decks, one could behold a vast, open-air panorama, including Flushing Bay and LaGuardia Airport.

One could also throw thi...

Face It, MAGA: Donald Trump Lied To You!

Donald Trump’s MAGA supporters are much like the evangelical supporters of Israel. (In fact, a large percentage of these two groups are one and the same.) Evangelicals defiantly refuse to believe that Cyrus Scofield (and their Dispensationalist pastors) lied to them; and MAGA supporters defiantly refuse to believe that Trump lied to them. But the peace and prosperity of America just might depend on MAGA facing the reality that Donald Trump has indeed lied to them.

Six months into Trump’s term in...

Fire at Lake Cushman Human Caused

LOL!  The video below is from Seattle TV news about a fire at Lake Cushman in the Olympic Mountains west of Seattle. The idiotic announcer says that Mt. Olympus is seen from Seattle and shrouded in smoke from the fire. LOL! You can’t see Mt. Olympus from Seattle. The peaks shown in the video are called “The Brothers.”

Decades ago, I’d take the kids out to the Olympics to go hiking. The highway goes by Lake Cushman. It’s a beautiful lake, but the logging trucks were constant. I ...
