Navigating Insanity
As a teenager, I learned to navigate an airplane. It was a wonderful time, navigating while my father was few. But the joy of helping came with a serious responsibility. If I did not do my job as a navigator, then we would not end up where we wanted to go. Even worse, I could…

Here’s what would happen if we treated our elections as job openings…
Most people don’t think of it this way, but every election is a job opportunity. Incumbent candidates have a job review while others are interviewing for the job. Looking at elections as job reviews and interviews would be quite healthy for Americans. Every person in an elected position takes an oath or affirmation to support…

410 – Is Refusing to Wear a Mask Unconstitutional?
I’ve spoken repeatedly about the unconstitutionality of most mask mandates. Recently, the Third Circuit Court of Appeals was asked to review two cases where people were punished for attending school board meetings while refusing to wear masks. Sadly, the cases, as described in the Circuit Court opinion, seem poorly founded, thus leading to decisions against the plaintiffs. I think a closer look will not only show the flaws in the case, but help others build better ones in the future.

He even claims to have people on tape. If what Mr. Benz says…

Silence in the face of evil
What do you do when you see something evil? Maybe it’s someone being assaulted in the street, someone being bullied by police, or someone’s car being stolen; what do you do? I’ve heard Dietrich Bonhoeffer say, “Silence in the face of evil is itself evil.” What does that say about those who video an assault…

Who do you trust, and why?
Trust is a funny thing. Trust should be earned, but it is often granted for the most ridiculous reasons because the person from the right political party gives a good speech or checks the right boxes in some perverse game of diversity bingo. Even worse is when we trust people not because we have a…

Blindly following Executive Orders and Supreme Court decisions
’ve had several conversations lately about the need to obey unconstitutional acts. Claims that the public needs to obey executive orders and that decisions from the Supreme Court are the supreme law have become common on my social media and other channels. This raises an interesting question: do the American people have a legal responsibility…
