How To Think: A Survival Guide To A World At Odds

“Science” for liberals and “fiscal sanity” for conservatives quickly get sacrificed on the altar of rationalized political expediency when convenient to whatever point of view a person wants to take, apparently.

The Two Most Important Patriots You Have Never Heard Of

"Mr. Morris: Don't you hope future financiers
will love America as much as we do?"
"Sure do Mr. Morris. I sure do"


Robert and Gouverneur Morris. No relation. Ever heard of them? 

People think George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and James Madison were the “indispensable” founders of the United States of America. 

Without financiers and fellow Founding Fathers Robert Morris and Gouverneur Morris, their lives most likely would have ended at the bottom of a noose around 1780. The Declaration of Independence would have been proven a bust and the Constitution would never have been written, which would have been a darn shame for liberty for billions of people worldwide since 1789.

The False Promise of Democrats To Pay For Infrastructure Bills

President Joe Biden, Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Majority Leader Chuck Schumer “promise” to pay for the $1.2 trillion “hard” — or real — infrastructure bill by socking it to the rich and corporations. They say the same thing about their $3.5 trillion “soft” human infrastructure bill. 

Washington hasn’t “paid for” any new legislation by cutting spending or raising taxes since PAYGO died an ignominious death in 2002. We haven’t had a truly deficit-neutral bill passed in close to 24 years. How can anyone claim without laughing out loud that any new bill since 2000 “has been paid for” when our debt has exploded since 2000?

9/11 then and now

Pentagon on 9/11
I was walking out of the door to go to a meeting in downtown D.C. on Tuesday morning, Sept. 11, 2001, when my wife told me a plane had just crashed into one of the Twin Towers in New York. “It probably was a guy who had a heart attack flying a Cessna. I wouldn’t worry about it,” I said somewhat casually before I said goodbye.

As I was driving down Route 50 in Northern Virginia with the top down on that glorious late summer morning, I noticed a puff of black smoke around 9:40 a.m. in the sky to my right.

Defeat Not Victory

President Biden is right. No matter when we left Afghanistan, it was going to be a mess. A big one.

But in the last two weeks, we’ve witnessed a failure by the United States that extends far beyond the normal chaos and calamity that defines Afghanistan and one that could have been avoided by a more precise execution of long-laid plans. 

The White House narrative blaming Afghans, the collapse of Afghan National Forces, and the traitorous, cowardly flight of President Ghani is diversionary, not too unlike the chaff being shot from our departing C-17s as a countermeasure to potential ground fire.

Santa Is Not Coming This Year

Children: you need to realize something. Santa Claus is not coming this year with a whole lot of toys and treats. 

COVID business shutdowns have taken their toll everywhere, but nowhere has it hit harder than with dear old Saint Nick’s operations at the North Pole. After all, what other business goes to every single home in the world in one night?

(thanks to long-time friend and next-door buddy growing up Russ Barringer III for coming up with this train of thought due to his frustrations as a businessman)
