Memorial Day is the American holiday to remember those who died in service to our country. In recent years, it has been stretched to remember those who serve. This incorporates more people but steps away from the intent. One area of service life that has seen an unfortunate emergence is the rise of military suicides….

Shock Doctrine Comes Home
Whether on the streets or on social media, no one can miss the fried mental status of Americans. Some of us have carried on with normal lives during covid lockdowns or the scare, but we see millions living lives of fear and hysteria. It does seem overblown. Using a framework from a pre-financial crisis pop…
Reworking the Military & Friday Reads
As the Biden administration took shape, the Secretary of Defense initiated a stand down to purge extremism from the ranks. The 1/6 Capitol Protest was the excuse. As subsequent details have revealed, it is about a public reworking of the US Military culture and make-up. Any concerns about an immediate conflict with China or Russia…
5 Book Reads
In the interest of cribbing off of Ryan Landry’s 5 Friday Reads, I’ve put together a short review of 5 books and my thoughts on them. In past articles I’ve done full blown articles on books I’ve read, but honestly, that gets tedious. I’m not sure if it’s always helpful, either. For one, someone interested…
Fertility Is A Cultural Thing
The baby bust is here. There are news articles that comment on the lower fertility rate in not just Europe and Japan but in America. Fertility is now around 1.6 for the United States.

For The Love Of Dog
Bestiality means never having to say you’re sorry. I embrace being a social pariah when I share my opinion on pet ownership. Not liking dogs has become the moral equivalent of baby seal clubbing. When I see the dog park being a main social attraction to meet others, I know we are at some strange…
No American Chernobyls & Friday Reads
In early ‘20, there was chatter if the corona outbreak would be the Chinese Chernobyl. It was not. China’s leadership passed that test with a combination of ruthless lockdowns and competence for handling outbreaks. We will never know their true numbers, but their recovery blows away the West. Corona isn’t an American Chernobyl either. America’s…
The Cruel Jenner Joke
Submitted by Oxnardian Governor Newsom faces a recall election in California. He faces no threat. There is no challenger to his throne as the California machine is behind him. The GOP has no shot at unseating him. This is not 2003. The GOP has decided to get behind trans Olympic gold medalist Bruce/Caitlyn Jenner. This…
Friday Reads
On a family vacation right now, so no time for an essay. I do have links to share. Nicholas Wade has a report that covers the idea that covid was man-made and escaped the lab. Evidence mounts up but procedural outcomes will be manipulated to prevent a full audit. The struggle against the Great Reset…
The Left’s Paradigm Shift
The left loves to talk about the path of progress as a never-ceasing arc of history. There is a linear progression to everything. One is either on the right side of history or an evil obstacle to inevitable progress. This is a hustle as Gaetano Mosca noted that most of the rationale of democracy promoters…
