Investigating the obscure

We live in an age of information. In the sea of news and opinions, there are small and often missed events that change our lives forever. These obscure events should be recognized. For example, in the Supreme Court case of Donald Trump against the state of Colorado, a group submitted an amicus brief that has…

We are paying the price for our lack of vision

Do you remember the scene in Return of the Jedi when the emperor attacks Luke with lightning bolts and says, “You will pay the price for your lack of vision”? Well, I could say the same thing about the American people today. First, we kept deciding to let someone else do the work. Often, we decide to let…

408 – Primaries, What Are They Good For?

I propose that all board elections for non-profit corporations should be run by the state at taxpayer expense. After all, we already have taxpayer funded elections for private organizations. We call them “Primaries”.

While this year’s presidential primary is pretty much a fait accompli, there are still hundreds, if not thousands of primary elections that will be held over the next few months. In some cases the race is so partisan that the primary effectively decides the race and the general election is moot.

What is the purpose of these taxpayer funded private elections? Why to limit your choices on election day of course. So why do we keep paying for someone else to take away our choices?

Threats to our Republic

Warnings of threats to our “democracy” abound. Far fewer are the warnings about threats to our republic. However, while the warnings may be few, the threats are legion. In the news lately, there have been threats coming from our southern border. Immigration, human trafficking, and drug cartels are a daily part of our lives and…

Mao’s struggle sessions have arrived in the United States

few years ago, I had the chance to talk with someone who had lived through Mao’s cultural revolution. One of the defining aspects of that time in China was the use, or should I say abuse, of struggle sessions. During these struggle sessions, people were accused of being “class enemies,” accused, publicly humiliated, and frequently beaten…

Through the Looking Glass of Washington DC

If I were searching for a book title to describe the United States today, it would have to be Through the Looking Glass by Lewis Carroll. In his sequel to Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, Alice moves through a mirror into an irrational and illogical world, which pretty much describes D.C. these days. Legislation that does…

409 – Abuse of the No Fly List

while looking through recent oral arguments at the Supreme Court, I stumbled across the case FBI v. Fikre. At first, I thought it was another simple procedural case, but something about it caught my attention. The oral arguments held before the Supreme Court were about whether Mr. Fikre’s case that his rights were violated when he was placed on the No Fly List was no moot because he ad been removed from the list. As I stated looking deeper into the case though, I found intrigue worthing of a Grisham novel.
