    Plato's Cave and Our Current Reality

    What is reality? Do you we think we know what is true today? What if I told you, that what you think you know of our [current] reality is but a lie? A series of images projected upon a wall in a cave. Plato wrote of such a thing in his ...

    Liberals' reaction to the Texas church shooting is not about gun control

    The current clamor for sensible gun control legislation is not about gun control. Don't get me wrong – the left will take any and all advances against the Second Amendment, and our constitutional right to bear arms, but that is...

    November 4: Two scenarios

    It seems some questions were raised by my piece on AT this Thursday.  Two points specifically, and then I'll move on to Antifa's planned "protest" for today, and how (in my mind) there are two outcomes. I wrote that ...

    Harvey Weinstein is not the nastiest thing going on in Hollywood

    As more (and more) revelations come out about slimeball and (alleged) serial rapist Harvey Weinstein, there is a more sinister conspiracy still hidden in the Hollywood hills: pedophilia. It seems that, for a decade and more, courage was in short s...

    Why mass murder?

    No, this post will not discuss why there is mass murder, but what it is about mass murder that gets leftist Democrats so wound up. Let me contend that leftist Democrats care not a whit about any issue beyond how they can spin it to advance their p...

    Why high tax-state Republicans should support the elimination of the state and local tax deduction

    How about a Presidential Council on Minority Advancement?

    Why do Democrats so hate black Americans?

    Charlottesville: Where freedom of speech died?
