It was the early nineties and some of my teammates and I were in a van riding to a baseball game in Southern California. I don’t remember how the conversation began but one of my teammates started in about no longer being black but rather an African-American. This was the […]

Liberals in La La Land
Liberals before the Obama “red line” in Syria was enforced: “Trump is a misogynistic, racist, homophobic, bigot who was elected because of Vladimir Putin.” Liberals after: “The bombs are beautiful (cue Brian Williams), Mr. Trump is now our President. Vladimir who?” Liberals 24 hours later: “Trump is getting us into […]
Firing with both fists
Courage is not assertion without fear. Courage is assertion in spite of fear and comes in many forms, shapes, and sizes. I was reminded of this a few days ago while having a conversation. The individual I was speaking with was making jokes after receiving yet another round of chemotherapy. […]

If you don’t know now you know.
One day in high school I was informed that someone I was already not a fan of made a derogatory comment about me and my family. The next day I found the individual in the hallway between classes and asked if they indeed did say this. Let’s just say it […]
Ninth Circuit Circus
With all the insanity and illegality happening in the courts these days I thought it pertinent to again cover how our system works and doesn’t work. The idea of Democracy is to serve the majority which eventually leads to Tyranny. This is the culmination of Socratic Theory. A Republic or in […]
