Editorial #337 No Blank Checks?

I was taught there are three obligations our Federal Government was to provide.  Infrastructure, security and enforcement of laws that preserves the “Blessing of Liberty and our Prosperity”.  Does anyone care these functions cost money?  We pay elected Congressmen to make sure these three functions are carried out.  Does anybody believe that Congress is doing this? “We the people” hire that Congress whose only objective is to provide those three functions.

Editorial #336 How to Justify unjust Reparations

The BLM movement, along with illegal immigration, is destroying our country with tactics right out of Sun Tzu’s “Art of War” and Alinsky’s “Rules for Radicals”.

The first step is to agitate incessantly using the “the squeaky wheel gets the grease” strategy.  If the squeak is ignored, it will continue until someone gets the grease gun indicating they received recognition.  In any negotiations, the battle is half won when recognition is achieved,

Editorial #335 Without Wax

There are many words used to compliment a person.  Humble, honest, fair, sincere and caring are traits that are admired and appreciated. All these adjectives are in the back of our mind when interacting with others throughout our lives.

I recently attended the funeral of former Nebraska State Senator Cap Dierks.  He embodied all these virtues.  The homily at his funeral Mass used all these adjectives to describe him.

Editorial #334 The True Cost of Wars not Fought

The desire for peace and harmony is universal.  But to have peace we must be willing fight for it. Political correctness works very hard to make this fact sound like a contradiction.  Political correctness is the ‘Trojan Horse’ used to legislate, indoctrinate or litigate our constitutionally provided freedoms out of existence.

Situational ethics, abortion, massive welfare spending, equity, not equality, diversity, inclusion and gender identity are spawned to confuse,

Editorial #333 Methinks Ye Protest Too Much

The line from Shakespeare’s play: “Methinks ye doth protest too much”, describes someone who overly insists their innocence when evidence to the contrary is overwhelming.

With our current state of affairs: Afghan, the pandemic, the economy, the climate, the border and the funding bill, if their policies made sense, why is the administration working so hard to sell their plans? They insist Afghan was “a successful withdrawal”.

Editorial #332 Ways to Destroy Untruths

Nothing can be hidden from eventual truth and knowledge.  I just wish it would not take so long.

Technology is both destroying and increasing understanding.  The vital ingredient needed to make it useful is logic and reasoning.  That is something technology cannot deliver.  A hammer can’t pound nails without someone swinging it.   Technology gives answers to questions we didn’t know we had.  Technology makes no one smarter,

Editorial #331 Just Follow the Money

“Just follow the money” is a statement used to explain all the inexplicable occurring in today’s mafia-like world we thought happened only in movies.

Dysfunctional bureaucracies spawn this corruption, violating the entire spectrum of human rights and Our Constitution. They are constantly finding better ways to disguise money trails, by using propaganda, subcontractors, consultants, corporations and lobbyists funded by the richest people in the world.

Editorial #330 Has anything Improved?

We have all seen the commercial with four, terrified young people running from a chain saw murderer, foolishly deciding to hide in a shed full of chain saws, instead of getting into a running car to getaway.

This is an examples of the decision making process our country’s bureaucrats seem to be using.  Their decisions are ridiculous and illogical.  Someone with a basement level I.Q. would recognize doing nothing would be far more efficient,

Editorial #329 The Best Slaves Believe They are Free

The best slaves believe they are free. Oppression and depravity are among the oldest vices, violating all our core values and the Golden Rule. Books have been written by Sun Tzu, Niccolo Machiavelli, Karl Marx, Adolf Hitler and Saul Alinsky, who coldly describe how to use these vices to advance a nihilistic, godless society where there is no real purpose to life other than for personal gratification.

Editorial #328 Is Wanting Liberty Selfish?

A subtle tactic used in fighting any conflict is to instill doubt in the justification of the cause. Sun Tzu wrote: “All warfare is based on deception.”  This principle is being blatantly applied in advertising, social media, network news and all the movements dealing with racism, discrimination, poverty, health care, man-made climate change and illegal immigration by claiming it is hurtful, selfish, ignorant and insensitive if one disagrees.
