Don’t Become the Monster: US Edition

The Biden Administration is a train wreck. Get out of its way. That doesn’t mean stay silent or to never criticize. After all, we’d like this particular train wreck to do as little damage as possible. No, it’s a cautionary statement to not become a distraction from just how bad the Biden Admin is all by its little self. Think first, argue later. This little gem is something the Democrats no longer do and that lack has cost them dearly. … Continue reading “Don’t Become the Monster: US Edition”

Don’t Become The Monster: Foreign Policy Edition

Look guys, being opposition for the sake of being oppositions is STUPID. So quit it. Any questions? What? Oh for Pete’s sake… We’ve spent the last forty years in American politics with the Democrats desperately clinging to the coattails of Civil Rights in the vain hope of maintaining relevance. They settled for maintaining power. That’s now ending. Yes, the whole process was stupid. Could we please not repeat it on the conservative side? No, I didn’t say Republican because I’m … Continue reading “Don’t Become The Monster: Foreign Policy Edition”

Basic Reasoning 101

No, it’s not the beginning of a logic course. Nor am I going to explain the intricacies of drafting an argument – virtually no one actually needs to know how to argue formally so why bother? There are things we can learn from formal argument like who has the right of way. Seriously, fancy term is the burden of proof. Basically, you state it as fact or conclusion, you own the burden of proving it really is a fact or … Continue reading “Basic Reasoning 101”

COVID 19 Time for Truth: US Edition

Below you will find a link to a fairly dry little video of a doctor going over the latest research out of Italy. I fully agree with him that it’s pathetic that we have to wait for Italy to do what EVERY developed nation should have been doing, most especially the US. Here’s the TL;DR: Vitamin D is shown to reduce hospitalization and incidence of death. In normal people speak, vitamin D helps you fight off C19 so that you … Continue reading “COVID 19 Time for Truth: US Edition”

COVID 19 Time for Truth: China Edition

I am a cranky old lady with 18 years disease control experience, two degrees in Political Science and no patience left for nonsense. Any questions? No? Good. The entire response to the panicdemic was botched. The WHO and ESPECIALLY the CDC knew better than the crap they were pulling. We here in the United States have over EIGHTY YEARS of successful disease intervention. We lead the charge in ERADICATING small pox. We DANGED WELL know how to handle a respiratory … Continue reading “COVID 19 Time for Truth: China Edition”

The World Can’t be America

Which works out just fine – they don’t want to be nor should they. We have this goofy idea that nationalism is inherently a bad thing. Like all isms, it can be taken way too far. Any ideology can be made into a bad thing by taking it to extremes. But BOTH extremes are bad. Do you fix a broken cup? Most of the time the answer is no but what if it belonged to your grandmother and was special … Continue reading “The World Can’t be America”

Why Arizona Elections Matter

Simple, letting cheaters get away with it is the same as destroying the system they are cheating within. See you next… Again? Okay, so let’s break it down. If you can guess which cup the pea is under I will give you two dollars. But if you guess wrong you will give me one dollar. Gambling is a lousy way to invest, just so you know. Odds favor the house or the house wouldn’t be in business. But hey, if … Continue reading “Why Arizona Elections Matter”

Between Globalism and Isolationism

Okay, so globalism bad, we should just keep to ourselves and not bother the rest of the planet, right? Yeah, that so isn’t going to work. America was born in humble beginnings – we were a podunk backwater that only attracted riff raff and no respectable person went. But we grew up into a podunk backwater with a lot of perfectly respectable folks and some really big ideas about liberty and freedom. We were by nature cocky and self assured … Continue reading “Between Globalism and Isolationism”

Ism Spectrum

We political scientists like to classify things. Put nice labels on it and shove it on the shelf where those things go – very scientific. Makes ’em easier to categorize so we can do statistics! Yeah, it annoys the heck out of the statisticians but what do they know? They were the ones that came up with the whole ‘stick everything in a category’ thing. Add science to politics and sausage making – things no one really wants to know … Continue reading “Ism Spectrum”

Protecting American Freedoms is the Best Thing America Can do for the Rest of the World

Obviously. What? That’s not obvious to you? What they heck did they teach you kids in school? Can’t do math, can’t half read, can’t pay attention – How’d you end up worse than MY generation? Seriously, we grew up on Westerns and Tarzan, roaming the neighborhoods until dark, with permanently skinned knees, hyped on boatloads of sugar and watching way too much TV – we were supposed to be the space cases, not you kids! Do yourselves a favor, try … Continue reading “Protecting American Freedoms is the Best Thing America Can do for the Rest of the World”
