  • The SAVE Act

    I had previously quoted a professor of mine that if someone offers you an oversimplified solution to a complex problem, either they are a fool, or they are taking you as a fool. The SAVE act is a very good example of the scenario in that quote. I will explain, but let me start by…

  • Not Just a Right, But Also a Responsibility

    To those friends of mine who did not listen to their wiser friends and voted for a lunatic communist Marxist in 2024: I kept telling you that voting is not just a right, but also a responsibility, but you laughed at me and told me things like: “what else? now I am responsible for what…

  • Senate Confirmation Hearings

    I’m tired of seeing the Democratic senators asking, during their confirmation hearings, Trump’s sycophantic nominees for cabinet positions or federal judgeships or other important positions of power, that “who won the 2020 presidential election,” only to hear the rehearsed response that Biden was certified as the president in January 2021, or more recently, even outright…

  • Bias Blinds

    Sometimes ago, a friend of mine expressed, with awe and astonishment, that during the Iranian uprising of 2009, he had witnessed very smart and knowledgeable colleagues support Ahmadinejad. And wondered how it would be possible for someone capable of solving very complex problems in their field of expertise, to not see through the deceptions and…

  • Hope

    Three things that keep me hopeful about the future of the country, and humanity in general: Long live the King!

  • Is the Left Losing Their Mind?

    In a recent court filing, several leftist lunatics have accused the secretary of homeland security and the immigration and customs enforcement agency of violating their first and fourth amendment rights. As their ridiculous evidences, they have submitted sworn affidavits, some claiming that ICE agents have told them that, by protesting or monitoring their activities, the…

  • States’ Voter Data

    Consider the following scenario: You receive a letter in the mail, a few days before a November election, stating that some irregularities have been noticed in your voter registration, making it invalid, and that if you vote in the upcoming election, you would be committing a crime punishable by fine, incarceration, or both. The letter…

  • Minimum Wages

    My rather extreme liberal political and socio-economic leanings are no secret. But, like most others, I have very close friends with vast amounts of knowledge on different subjects and impeccable critical thinking abilities in their professional field, but somehow obsessed with the following two things: And, in recent years, this obsession has gone insofar as…

  • Prizes

    When I was at grade school age, there were no private schools in my town, probably not even in the entire country where I grew up. Back then, you didn’t need to have rich parents to be able to go to decent public schools, and even kids from middle class families could find their way…

  • Facts, Opinions, and Misunderstandings

    In a previous post from over a year ago, I had tried to highlight the differences between facts and opinions. Even back then, my feeling was that that writeup was mostly redundant and unnecessary, as I assumed pretty much every reasonable person knew the difference. So it came to me as a huge surprise when…
