Hmmm. And the NBA?

We should be a country of equal opportunity, not equal outcome.

Sotomayor, not so much: “I thought part of what it meant to be an American is that our institutions are reflective of who we are as a people….These are the pipelines to leadership on our society. military, business, law. If universities aren't racially diverse, then all of those institutions won't be  diverse either.”

Who is immoral?

Well the Biden administration is actively supporting and promoting gender conversion of children, other parts of the developed world have reversed course from this approach (UK, Sweden, France, Finland)


Another month of broken border

Biden’s immigration policies are a mess, put many innocents at risk AND allow Mexican cartels to get rich.

I support immigration. A lot of immigration. But legal immigration, with a mix of merit based  (engineers, scientists, entrepreneurs, doctors, mathematicians, etc.) and opportunity-based (people who want to work hard, adopt American values, and get ahead). 

(Note-The numbers are the apprehensions. We do not know how many people get through without being apprehended)







Where is BLM? Oct 24, 2022





Where’s the outrage? Where’s BLM? Where’s Lebron?

Another week and more lives lost. Until the Democrats stop propagating the false narrative nothing will I change.

Black lives matter - I support the words but cannot support the organization because it propagates the false narrative that systemic racism is the primary cause of the disparities(murders, incarceration, teen mothers, fatherless households, income, wealth, etc.) between blacks and whites.

Racism exists (though not widespread), it’s bad, and we should continue to work to reduce it. Excess police force exists (though rare), it's  bad and we should continue to work to reduce it.

BLM organization’s positions and policies do not address the problems (murders, fatherless households, teen pregnancy, lack of agency) and do not address the key root causes (it’s not excessive police force or systemic racism.)

Will Biden investigate/prosecute this hate crime

A black man blindsides and shoves a white man onto the subway tracks in Brooklyn for no reason. I wonder if Biden and or Merrick Garland will investigate this hate crime. 

What kind of society and/or  culture isn’t outraged by this?

Restoration vs Annihilation


Democrats aren’t “pro­gressives” caught up in “woke” agen­das. They are power-seek­ing lovers of big gov­ern­ment, spending and creating dependency tied to ex­trem­ist views, who have wrought infla­tion and eco­nomic chaos, adopted a di­vi­sive, left­ist agenda, and given us a laugh­ingstock of a bor­der. They created a rot that eats at Amer­i­ca’s great cities with crip­pling price in­creases, crime, lag­ging schools, deadly drug use, home­less­ness, and are destroying meritocracy, the foundation of America’s greatness.

Restore American Exceptionalism

Biden. Stop dithering. Lead. Stop Putin.

Biden Breaking Piggy Bank

Biden is discouraging US oil production, hurting US oil producers and helping Putin.

Maybe worse, he is taking oil out of the Strategic Oil Reserve in a desperate attempt to reduce inflation and help Democrats win elections, but increasing the risk to the US economy if there's an oil disruption.

US Debt is Scary!

The level of US Government debt as a ratio to GDP has reached historically high levels (~1.2), similar to WWII levels (Source: fred.stlouisfed.org.)

However, what is really scary is the ratio of debt to GDP  (~8) if you include the projected shortfall of  income and expenses from Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid in today's dollars (Source: US Treasury Financial Report of the United States Government..

How will the US pay this debt back?

I should pick tomatoes for Pelosi?

In the late 70's my sister-in-law to be had one of her art students draw a characterization of me.  What did I do when I saw it.  With only a picture and my last name to go on he drew a cute picture of me as a tomato picker. Was I triggered?  Was I hurt?  Did I look for a safe space?  Did I think badly about his stereotype of someone with my last name? Nope.  I laughed, understanding how uninformed this young student was, and continued my studies to be a chemical engineer (and by the way I never considered trying to get a Professor fired for being too difficult) and have always happily and proudly displayed it.

Last week the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Democrat Nancy Pelosi,  commented on why the US needs more immigrants: "to pick our crops."

Maybe things really haven't changed (at least for the uninformed.)





And then...OMG.  Notice what Google search results I received when looking for a screen shot of Pelosi.  Goggle is trying to soften/deflect any negative effect on a leading Democrat.



Biden Not Producing

 US still lags crude oil production and Biden is doing little to help.

Where are the BLM protests/riots political?

Does anyone else recall the summer of 2020 with all of the riots and protests?  I wonder why we’re not seeing these protests now with even more police killings. Do you think politics might be a factor?

Police killed at least 881 people through September 30, 2022. Police killed more people over the past 9 months than at any other point in the past decade.

What is navigable water?

There appears to be as much confusion over what is navigable water as there is to what is a female.

The Supreme Court is listening to arguments regarding what waters the Clean Waters Act has jurisdiction over: Sackett v. EPA

The Clean Water Act (CWA), encoded in 33 U.S.C. Chapter 26, controls "navigable waters" which has been interpreted to include wetlands adjacent to navigable waters.

The EPA has now tried to expand their jurisdiction to include any waters that have a "significant nexus" to waters of the United States.  The Biden administration and several justices of SCOTUS appear to be supporting this position and arguing that any water (including ground and subsurface) that has any connection to any navigable waters should fall under the EPA Clean Water Act. 

So, if Biden and several SCOTUS justices have their way, I am potentially exposed to criminal prosecution by the EPA for anything I do in my back yard (2) such as water lawn, backwash pool, fertilize,  that may impact a creek (3) that is in my backyard and is dry unless there's a lot of rain that continues for ~1/4 mile (4) to the East Branch of the DuPage River, a navigable water according to the EPA.

Ignore Trump


While there were several important accomplishments under Trump (SCOTUS judges, lower taxes, javelins for Ukraine, WARP speed), he is intellectually lazy, lacks gravitas, is coarse, petty, insecure, bombastic, inarticulate, and, as a result, can’t beat a Democrat and is therefore bad for Republicans.

And while there were irregularities in the 2020 election (votes in key swing states that did not meet their state legislature’s requirements and MSM burying the Hunter Biden laptop story) and Trump was treated unfairly by the MSM and administrative state propagating false narratives (Russian collusion and system racism), he lost the election. 

Please ignore Trump like a crazy uncle at Thanksgiving and hope he goes away.
