"The Way to Stop Racial Discrimination... ...is to stop discriminating by race." (Chief Justice John Roberts) Last week SCOTUS struck down Section 2 of the Voting Rights ACT, which had allowed that race could be used in establishing voting districts. The Court ruled that the social conditions, which warranted it at the time, no longer exist. The Court decision means that in the future race may not be used to determine voting districts. The VRA was enacted in 1965 to proper

(Let's take a break from the war and our 11th ceasefire attempt. Return to AI, which I suspect we will do...oh about a trillion times more as its era unfolds.) Some Ways to Think About AI Let's start at the end. AI is coming, we all know that. The question is do we lead or follow China. It's that simple. Down to us or China to control the space and thereby destiny. Forget about the Europeans. They are in irrevocable malaise. First, be clear. Many don't want us to win.

Tough to Fight Two Wars at Once Iran on the battlefield. TDS ideologues at home. Leftwing elites refuse to recognize the accomplishments of a war that is less than two months old and has cost few, very few, American lives. On April 11, New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman said the quiet part out loud on CNN. He admitted that while he wanted to see the Iranian regime defeated militarily “because this regime is a terrible regime for its people and the region,” the real p

Can't Negotiate ...with someone who does not acknowledge reality. Iran still thinks it has leverage. Terrorist partners, missiles, nukes coming, SoH control. Look again. Yet they won't face reality. Finish the Job An all too common scenario is we or Israel take out terrorists then get all gooey. Grant them ceasefires. Shovel tons of aid. What happens? You guessed it, they reconstitute. Just like Hamas is doing now. Just like Hezbollah did. The media flies to the aid

First the war...Can You Spell F-R-A-G-I-L-E? (Last Friday early AM) This so called Double Ceasefire sure looks un-promising so far. Missiles still being fired. Strait not quite open. No idea who's in charge for the Bad Guys. Experts say a panel of five. All hardcore America/Israel haters. Great, huh? But most importantly of all...these lunatics are liars. So many snags. Who's gonna be in charge? How we will verify? How do we ensure no retaliation against protestors?

Mad King Blinks. ..Or Did He ? Well, the Donald granted another reprieve. A cooling off period of two weeks to cobble together some kind of lasting peace. Good luck. So Dems, the Lamestream Media and, of course, the Mullahs and their band of merry thugs would have you believe he "blinked" . That is nonsense. Only the coalition of Trump Haters could see it that way. In fact, I have no doubt they were all rooting for him to go scorched earth. That way they could finally p

United We Stand, Divided We fall Powerful words oft repeated throughout history. First in the Bible: "If a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand" (Mark). Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand" (Matthew). In March 1799, Patrick Henry, famous for his Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death speech, invoked in his last public speech. Clasping his hands and swaying unsteadily, H

Sure Hope The Donald holds an Ace. Tough sledding. So much negativity. Securing nuke-enriched uranium stocks likely needs ground troops. A big No-No to Americans even though - to date - we've lost only 13 lives. Of the 300 injured, 250 plus have been patched up and already returned to duty. Still very hard to see how this gets resolved with all strategic boxes ticked. The Mullahs and their very well paid military thugs seems to have an inexhaustible supply of figureheads

Hard to Tell Seems little question that Epic Fury combined with Israel's intrepid will has brought Iran to its knees. At least in terms of leadership and military strength. Still it is difficult to know what is next or what the final outcome might be. Clearly the Administration is under great pressure to ensure a satisfactory outcome without a protracted conflict or large scale commitment of ground forces. Either action would likely hand the government over to leftwing D

America is Drowning All relationships depend on trust. The decision to participate, to contribute, to commit typically come down to trust. Right now our country is bereft of trust. We are drowning in a sea - not of mistrust - but outright DIS-trust. Polls show we don't trust any of our news sources or our politicians, our government, most of our corporations and universities, many of our religious leaders and too many of our doctors. And we also don't trust the polls that

You have to win it History proves unequivocally, when facing enemies sworn to your destruction holding diametrically opposed values and ideologies, it is never possible to negotiate or buy a binding truce, let alone long term peace. Only winning, total destruction of one's enemy, can assure peace. That is a fact. Think Japan, Germany. War of Choice, Trump's War All day long liberals spout these aphorisms intended to signify that this is NOT a war Americans "want". Let's be

Not the One in South Bend If nothing else, the Iran mission puts a fine point on the urgency to shield America from enemy missiles. It also reaffirms the strategic necessity of Greenland access over which these missiles would likely fly. Imagine if some Woke PM in Denmark decides to pull a UK or Spain and give us the cold shoulder in a time of need. Ronald Reagan had it right 40 years ago. Call it Strategic Defense Initiative, Star Wars, Golden Dome, Iron Shield. Doesn't

Let's Try to Break It Down. .. Morally Justified? Important to National Security? I say yes. Among several reasons, there is one predominant one. You Don't Get to Kill Americans. Yes, Khamenei and his IRGC thugs massacred at least 30,000 civilians in their latest attempt to put down protests. Some say the actual number exceeds 100,000. Men, women, students, even children were slaughtered in the streets. Their own people. Yes, the regime has been the world's greatest spo

Sorry. trying to Get Problem Corrected.

Surprised? I think not. For quite some time we've been on this bandwagon. For years now, American parents have been marinating in a single, soothing cultural message: If you are gentler , more collaborative, less authoritative, your children will feel closer to you. You too can be a friend (instead of a parent). So-called "parenting" experts have warned repeatedly that structure risks rupture , that firm rules damage attachment, and that saying “no” too decisively can fract

SOTU Review - For The Dems Who Stayed Home And the Justices, although its commonplace for Supreme Court Justices to avoid the partisan theatrical. This week's SOTU: Was typically Trump long. Had a bunch of magical moments evoking pride in America. Had many no shows. Classy. Saw pettiness, insults and downright disrespect flying in all directions - signs of the times. Enumerated an extraordinarily list of things accomplished in a single year. Did nothing to heal but we all kno

(Written this for two reasons. First, I feel the urge. Second…well, there is no second.) By work is meant the investment of one’s time, energy, intellect and skill to produce an outcome - presumably of value that can be traded. In most cases for pecuniary income usable as a means of personal and family support, desires and self-esteem. In other words - a life’s work. As I threaten 80 and death becomes no longer a rumor, I reflect on the subject of work more often. I have

Foreign Policy Speech of Our Time? At the annual Munich Security Conference, an affair best-known for platitudes and navel-gazing, Secretary of State Rubio diagnosed the roots of Europe’s decline and provided a clear vision for how America and its European allies can unite to preserve the most important alliance in human history. It could not have come at a better time. Formed in the shadow of the Iron Curtain, the NATO alliance has underpinned American, European, and even g

Sorry, No Opinion ...on the Bugs Bunny show because I couldn't understand it. Lots of crotch grabbing which is always good for your 8 year old staying up for his first SB. Pretty clear it wasn't the President's cup of tea. Of course, Gavin, AOC, Kamala and every other Lib on earth thought it was the cat's meow. Not, however, the five million who watched TPUSA's show instead. But honestly couldn't have been that well received. Just saw Bugsy scrubbed 50 million Instagram

Guess Who Said This "There are those in the immigrants’ rights community who have argued, passionately, that we should simply provide those who are here illegally with legal status or at least ignore the laws on the books and put an end to deportation until we have better laws. Often this argument is framed in moral terms: Why should we punish people who are just trying to earn a living? I recognize the sense of compassion that drives this argument, but I believe such an in
