Fearing God
It’s said that those who act decently because they fear the wrath of God and being sent to hell in the afterlife are simply terrible people on a leash. That speaks to me.
Equal Outcomes?
Thomas Sowell is not an idiot, and thus he must know that no one wants a social order in which everyone’s lives turn out the same. Does anyone truly believe that drug addicts, morons, and lazy slobs should enjoy the same fruits of prosperity as temperate and diligent people?
It would be nice, however, if all of us had equal opportunity for success. If you’re interested, Google “equity vs. equality.”
One of the tragedies of life in America today is rhetoric that is deliberately designed to cloud our thinking with fallacious logic. He should be ashamed of himself.
Advanced Rail Energy Storage
Can be done. Cost inefficient as hell. Huge energy losses.
Highly doubt the Swiss built one. They’re not morons.

Supporting America’s Veterans
We have starving veterans living in our streets and dying of treatable diseases.
Sure, the MAGA crowd hates gays and loves divisiveness, but is naming a month for our vets the very best we can do for them?

Ummm, the Vast Majority of Earth’s Citizens Want to See Trump Dead
Eric Trump is usually depicted in the press as a moron. Is this fair? Is he really this stupid?
Is he not aware that the vast majority of the Earth’s population wants to see his father dead?
FWIW, I’m a rare exception. If Trump dies before the American people have the opportunity to see how close the U.S. came to being the next Russia, China, Turkey, North Korea, or the other 50+ authoritarian regimes on this planet, we will never be able to repudiate fascist dictatorship.

The Pope Should Stick to “Matters of Morality,” But What Exactly Does this Mean?
The Pope stands in opposition to pointless, illegal wars, cruel and inhumane treatment of the poor, and criminal insanity.
That strikes most of us as “matters of morality.”
Trump: Achieving the Impossible
Donald Trump is achieving something that I would have said was impossible: alienating the MAGA base. First, he depicts himself as Jesus in a post on Truth Social (see left), then he attacks the Pope (see below).
Christians don’t go for garbage like this.
Democracy Returns to Hungary
Péter Magyar just knocked out the Kremlin’s power and authority in Europe. Viktor Orbán is out.
I’m so happy for the people of Hungary, and for Americans as well, because here’s proof that it’s possible for authoritarianism to be overturned by the will of the people.
It’s a rare example, but an example nonetheless.
Criticizing Trump
Did Jennifer Lawrence really say this? I hope not, because it’s complete stupidity.
People who didn’t criticize Hitler, Mussolini, or the dozens of other fascist dictators as they were rising to power merely ushered them into a position in which they could destroy the lives of millions of innocent people.
Birthright Citizenship
The author of the meme at left writes, “We’re the only ones.”
This is completely incorrect, not that you care about facts and truth. Over 30 countries, primarily in the Americas, offer unconditional birthright citizenship, granting citizenship to almost anyone born within their territory, regardless of their parents’ status.
