The New York Times International section of April 22-23, contained an article entitled “Venezuela’s Unequal Socialism.” Citing the country’s many economic problems, its basic thesis was as follows: “Venezuela is increasingly a country of haves and have-nots, and one of the world’s most unequal societies….” Simple, unequivocal fact: Our species will always contain individuals willing …

Socrates, Kierkegaard, Sartre, Biden…..
As reported by The Blaze on May 13, Joe Biden recently addressed the students of the historically Black Howard University in Washington D.C.. Pandering to the assumed biases of his audience, he declared that White Supremacy was the most dangerous threat to America’s Democracy. The political Right, he asserted, was clearly intent on setting the …
Systemic Insanity!
I have before me several hundred index cards each referencing an example of the Leftist lunacy that has come to dominate our era. As I cannot possibly write an extended essay on every instance of such, I shall, for the foreseeable future, briefly cite events and individuals you may wish to explore on your own. …
Fact: “Liberals” Hate Democracy!
As reported by Tristin Hopper in Canada’s National Post of April 22: A new Health Canada report suggests public health officials should be openly advocating for the toppling of capitalism, Western society and even the very concept of “liberty and individualism.” The three authors of the paper, prepared for Canada’s chief public health official Dr. …
Is there a Vaccine for Hypocrisy?
I don’t understand. Both Donald Trump’s insistence on building a wall along the Mexican border as well as his invocation of Title 42, were widely denounced by the Left as aggressively racist in intent. A response to the outbreak of the Covid pandemic, Title 42 gave border authorities the right to simply return asylum seekers …

Having learned of Yeonmi Park via Bari Weiss’ Free Press a couple of weeks ago, I was eager to relate her story, but my computer crashed and I was forced into silence. Back on line now, I’m sure you will find her as inspiring as have I. Born in North Korea in 1993, her childhood …
C.B.D.C.s ….. Ugh!!!!
Central Bank Digital Currencies replace actual cash in hand with digital values which can be controlled by their issuers. As Central Banks operate in close consort with the reigning federal government of their land, such currencies would give those governments the ability to actually control the spending habits of their citizens. That control would be …
Populism: A Gross Stereotype
On Mar. 11 of this year, Canada’s Globe and Mail published an article by academic/lawyer/writer, Philip Slayton. Its topic was Antisemitism, its thesis more or less implied by its subheading: “The fight against mindless populism must be fought, though it will never be won.” In the third paragraph of his massive opinion piece, Slayton informs …
