Before getting to my annual reposting of Calvin Coolidge’s speech on the “Inspiration of our Declaration of Independence”, and to the Declaration itself, I first want to make two points. The first, which I went into a little bit of detail yesterday, is…
The motto of The United States of America: “E Pluribus Unum – Out of many, One” – is a truly great sentiment, which indicates the way by which any person, no matter what religious, ethnic, racial background was left behind in coming to America, is able…
There’s a serious problem with trying to fight CRT (Critical Race Theory), on the basis of what its proponents define it as being (which I’ll be diving more in depth into in the coming weeks), and the problem is that whatever definition it is that you’…
I’ll close this series of posts out, by going back to our beginning, noting that America’s exceptional ‘system’ was originally no system at all – at least not as economic policy makers think of such matters today. In America’s founding, their primary c…
If you mistake Regress for Progress, how long can you hope to escape the consequences of having done so? I was told yesterday, and I hear it often, that things can’t be as bad as I say, because they could be so much worse than they are… which sounds …
American war dead, Flanders Field, BelgiumRemembering, once again… Memorial Day… it is enough to remember today those who have fallen in defense of our nation. But it’s not all we can do, for them or for us, and to leave it there, I think, dep…
If you want to put America first, you’ve first got to figure out what in the hell it is that you think America is, and what it resulted from, and what it requires in order to continue to exist. If you don’t want to bother with doing that, then you are …
In the last two posts (here and then here), we’ve gone over how the apparent differences of Left, Right, Libertarian, Populists, who are economically severed from any principled contact with reality, producing only an indistinguishable growth of g…
The previous post went into how the unifying nature of the Administrative State’s partisan divides, takes in the bitterly divided positions of the Left, Right, Libertarian, Populists, and their desire to ‘do something!’ for or against ‘Capitalism’, and…
Here’s something you don’t hear every day: An Economy is not the result of Economic Thinking, and Economic Thinking is not the first, but the last stage in a long train of philosophic thinking (about what is, how you know it, what you should do about i…
In yesterday’s post I pointed out how considering ‘The Ship of Theseus’ paradox, reveals how easily surface changes can falsely appear to be significant, while a too shallow consideration of seemingly small changes, can fundamentally alter, and even co…
Isn’t “That just isn’t true!”, one of the more common reactions we have towards nearly everything we’re faced with today? If it were just lying liars lying, it wouldn’t be quite so bad, but as terms which were once understood to have unchangeably fixed…
Sir Martin Rees is the former Astronomer Royal of Britain. We probably need to establish his scientific credentials no further.
In 2002, Sir Martin wrote in chapter six of his book, Our Final Hour: How terror, error, and environmental disaster threaten…
No need to update this – the environmentalist’s warnings are still the same silly lies they’ve always been. The underlying meaning of Earth Day, a day that was chosen to coincide with Vladimir Lenin’s birthday, shouldn’t be all that difficult to realiz…
Because it seems as if ‘The shot heard ’round the world’ needs to be heard again, a repost: The shot wasn’t heard around the world to protect an adolescent desire to do whatever you please, it was heard and echoed on down through the ages to give …
