The Problem Is Not America, It’s Americans
For those of us old enough to remember the nation’s 200th, the contrast between then and this 250th is truly startling. One is forced to ponder the difference. Given that we have essentially two days to observe this momentous anniversary…
Government Micromanagement – The Hugh Hewitt Show
The Washington Times carried a piece this week about proposed rules changes at EPA over understanding the Clean Air Act. It is stultifying and I spent my professional life dealing with those rules among others. Here is the meat of the matter:…
Do You Understand Now? – The Hugh Hewitt Show

The Day The Earth Shook
No, I’m not talking about Tuesday’s commie infested elections – I am talking about literal shaking. The day started with a moderate 5.6 quake in remote northern California. While no structural damage has been reported from that quake, there…

Ready or not, the future calls. Science fiction and multiversal stories notwithstanding, time marches on, ever forward. The future is inevitable. Do we shape the future or are we shaped by it? As I have perused the news this last few days I…
