On Life and Everything Else

Remember when they banned alcohol and people stopped consuming alcohol? Remember when they banned drugs and then people stopped consuming those drugs? No? Yeah, me neither. Why are Guns Treated Differently?When a drunk driver causes a car crash and kills the occupants (almost 32 per day, 12,000 per

Abortion has been a polarizing topic in this country for at least 50 years, and the recent leak of a draft opinion from the Supreme Court overturning Roe v Wade hasn't changed that, nor can it. And while abortion is murder and morally abhorrent, banning it is the wrong move.

If you're paying attention to the mainstream corporate press, you'll see glimpses of the Biden Administration trying to set up a path to move on from COVID. For example, after getting beaten by the Supreme Court on the OSHA COVID jab, rather than lobby Congress to pass a law granting

Remember 2 weeks to flatten the curve...? At this point that statement of locking down and heavily restricting our normal behavior for the "common good" to make sure the hospitals have time to prepare for the influx of COVID patients feels like it was said in an alternate reality. After

If you've followed me on Twitter for any length of time, you'll know I'm no fan of mask mandates, or masking in general, yet this is the first time I'm really writing about them in detail. Masking has become like a religion. I doubt many (most?) people who fervently wears

On May 13th 2021 the CDC changed its guidance regarding the behavior of vaccinated people, with it effectively killing COVID and returning to where they started. UPDATE: If you are fully vaccinated against #COVID19, you can resume activities without wearing a mask or staying 6 feet apart, except where required

Despite cases being down in States that have opened up (Florida, Texas, Mississippi, Georgia, etc), our resident King of the Shifting Goal Posts is still saying we're not ready to move on. In fact, Fauci is still claiming we won't be close to normal until next Mother's Day, 2022. 2

TIME Magazine openly admits Trump was right all along, that the 2020 election was rigged to ensure his defeat.

This is Part 2 of a 2-part series on the events at the Capitol building on January 6th, 2021. In Part 1 I talked about the double standard of the treatment of those who rioted at the Capitol vs those who rioted in the streets. In this post I want

The events of January 6th, 2021 will likely be a very significant event in this country's history. It had been a couple hundred years since the Capitol building in Washington, D.C. was stormed, and Trump has this unique ability to both inspire his supporters and anger his critics to

Joe Rogan is probably the best interviewer in the US right now. I imagine that's a big reason why he has the most popular podcast in the country. I have a tough time making it through the 2-3hrs necessary for each of his podcasts, but every so often he interviews

Swiss Policy Research Center released their June meta-analysis update on COVID-19. Here are some of the highlights that I found most interesting: On COVID-19 lethality: Due to its rather low lethality, Covid-19 falls at most into level 2 of the five-level pandemic plan developed by the US health authorities. For

There were many examples that could have been used to illustrate this point, and this guy chose the best one.

The premise of the various State lockdowns was to reduce the potential overburdening of our hospitals. Sometime within the last couple weeks, though, the talk has shifted from "flattening the curve" to stopping the virus by remaining closed or heavily restricted until a vaccine or cure is discovered. I understand

The death rate per 100,000 residents is so much worse in New York (really New York City) than everywhere else in the country. As of April 29, the death rate from COVID-19 in New York is 25% higher than the next closest state, New Jersey, which itself is 25%

We're told to "listen to the experts" when it comes to COVID-19. Every day we're bombarded with the numbers of new cases and how many people have died from the virus, but has anyone ever asked what it means to die from COVID? Reasonable people would assume that if a

MSNBC’s Brian Williams reads a tweet: "Bloomberg spent $500 million on ads. U.S. Population, 327 million. He could have given each American $1 million" NYT Editorial Board Member Mara Gay: “It’s an incredible way of putting it. It’s true. It’s disturbing” It'

I can't turn on the TV or pull up Twitter or Reddit without being blasted with information about these impeachment hearings. I find the entire thing to be a sick joke. First, the unfortunately-necessary disclaimer – I'm not a Trump fanboy. Quite the opposite in fact. I find his loose relationship

The narrative the 2020 Democratic hopefuls are presenting, is effectively that the government can give everyone all this "free" stuff by taxing "the rich" and "mega corporations" their "fair share" in taxes. I put all of those items in quotes because nothing is free, how much you have to earn
