Not a Trace of Reasoning From Touters of Thomas Sowell’s Tenets
When it comes to ascertaining the truth — I don’t care what your cause is, who’s in the White House, who controls Congress or the courts. I learned early on in life that what you want gets in the way of what you see. There is no amount of gain you could give me to…
Thomas Sowell: Another Rollo Tomassi Running Out the Clock
Colin Powell got off easy — as did Donald Rumsfeld. But they had help from Sowell — a professional know-it-all who sold out to sell himself as something he is not. What would you call someone who shoots their mouth off without addressing the evidence — but banks on their fabricated reputation to create the…
Biden Beat Trump but Helped Put Him There in the First Place — As Did the Democratic Party
An independent thinker would not counter that claim without understanding the basis of the argument. What’s more, they want to understand and welcome what they might be missing. That requires critical thinking. While tons of people talk a good game, I don’t see any of ’em doing this when their beliefs are being challenged (as…
“Politeness & Consideration for Others is Like Investing Pennies and Getting Dollars Back”
Does it matter where that quote came from? I’m not a fan of the person who said it, but it beautifully captures the core of what courtesy’s all about. Alas, I’ve seen no such civility from his fanatical followers. Some circles are not burdened by squaring their walk with their talk. They seem to think…
America is Sinking in an Ocean of Lies — But What Lies at the Bottom of the Atlantic Since 1912 is of More Concern
I watched this digital scan of the Titantic wreckage with fascination — and that would have been the end of it until this bit below. I respect the reporting and the passion of the people behind these efforts. What I take issue with is a culture that craves detail at the depths of Titanic while…
Top Gun: Maverick & the Toppling of America
I coined Star Wars Syndrome to capture the plague of allowing nostalgia to create the illusion that a movie is far better than it actually is. In and of itself, wildly exaggerating the quality of movies is harmless. But when it becomes habit in how you see everything: Either gushing with over-the-top praise or seething with…
What I Think of Rittenhouse Running Around With a Rifle is One Thing
Weighing the matter on the merits is another. I can’t offer a well-informed opinion on it, but just from the video alone — I don’t know what the Left is looking at. And they don’t either Like the Right, they carry baggage into every issue — so the next outrage is just another vehicle to further their…
“Facts over Feelings”: It’s All Marketing
It would be unthinkable for me to refuse to look at someone’s work — and fire back with your “Where’s your facts?” refrain of an automaton because they don’t instantaneously appear. Let’s get real: That’s a stunt (like smugly slinging “I’ll wait”) — not a genuine inquiry in the interest of truth. And the only…
A Sight for Sore Eyes
Justice and decency are carried in the heart of the captain — or they be not aboard — Mutiny on the Bounty (1962) Anyone wanting to know the truth — would not behave in ways that ensure they never will. Wherever we stand on anything: It’s in everyone’s best interests to discuss issues in an…
To Claim That Iraq WMD Wasn’t a Lie Should Be Like Saying We Didn’t Land on the Moon
Part 1 of 7 In an industry where fractions of a millimeter matter — these guys were playing horseshoes with centrifuge physics. Out of 31 tubes in subsequent testing, only one was successfully spun to 90,000 RPM for 65 minutes — which the C.I.A. seized on as evidence in their favor. . . . D.O.E’s…
