RACE ISSUES: March 2, 2023

I have long held that when the left gains control of an entity — whether it be a city, a university or even a simple educational project — it loses all awareness of what the initial purpose of that entity might have been. It brings the city or the university or the simple educational project to foozle, that is, to ruin.

GOVERNMENT: February 23, 2023

Politicians are rarely competent writers. In fact, they are rarely writers. That is why they have speechwriters. John F. Kennedy was supposed to be a great writer. He actually won the Pulitzer Prize for his book “Profiles in Courage,” though Ted Sorensen wrote the book. Sorensen was one of his speechwriters, of course.

Greetings from a small town in Florida

AMERICAN CULTURE: February 16, 2023

There is a phenomenon that has been creeping across America for at least the past 30 years that I have yet to comment on. Social scientists, however, have been writing on it for a long time. It is the phenomenon of people on the right moving into neighborhoods that are already heavily conservative. On the other hand, people on the left end of the political spectrum tend to stay in areas that are traditionally left-wing. This phenomenon has led to the increasing polarization of American politics.

Defunding the far left’s agenda

EDUCATION: February 9, 2023

I have long held to the belief that the most conformist institutions in America are its universities. More recently, I have come to the conclusion that high schools are joining the ranks of universities in regimenting thought among their students. Now, more alarmingly, I have come to the conclusion that grammar schools are turning out goose-stepping student bodies, and even kindergarteners are getting into the act.

Bring on the tanks

UKRAINE: February 2, 2023

I have been following the pledging of combat tanks to Ukraine by the European allies. It is impressive. I do not think it is an exaggeration to claim that Vladimir Putin’s war of aggression in Ukraine has roused all Europe’s wrath. Even little Portugal has gotten into the act.

Are you a boy, or are you a girl?

GENDER: January 26, 2023

The song, now almost an anthem I believe, begins thus:
“Are you a boy, or are you a girl?
“With your long blond hair you look like a girl.
“Yeah, you look like a girl.
“You may be a boy (Hey) you look like a girl.”
Etc., etc.
