For several weeks I’ve been watching Fox news commentators slamming Muslim societies for not permitting, among other things, gay marriage and special protection for the transgendered. It is strange indeed that our media “conservatives” should be loudly championing culturally leftist causes, an advocacy that is becoming integral to how they define themselves politically. About ten years ago I also started noticing neoconservative journalists defending gay marriage as a “family value.” In the Republican New York Post, editorials have been calling for turning Stonewall Inn, the pub in NYC where gays in 1969 demanded a right to party and to enjoy … Continue reading →

Beyond the sunshine, the palm trees, and Hollywood, if there is one certainty in California, it’s that a massive earthquake will strike at some point. But when the Big One hits, a recent report says, the western state is ill-prepared and local officials, as well as major businesses, need to face that reality to ‘prevent the inevitable disaster from becoming a catastrophe.’ Drafted by a group of business and policy leaders, the report identifies several key areas that need to be addressed before a quake as strong as a magnitude 8 happens, notably aging infrastructure, water supplies and the risk … Continue reading →

Dr. Derek Cunningham has recently introduced a new intriguing theory to archaeology that many geometric patterns seen worldwide are a form of ancient text, with the angular writing based on the astronomical values used by astronomers to measure time and predict eclipse events. In this theory it was noted that many geometrical patterns seen throughout the archaeological record align to angles matching the circa 1 degree sidereal motion of earth as it travels around the sun; the 5.1 degree angle of the moon’s orbital plane relative to Earth, the 18.6 year lunar cycle, and the 27.32 day sidereal month. One … Continue reading →

After the massacre of five Dallas cops, during a protest of police shootings of black men in Louisiana and Minnesota, President Obama said, “America is not as divided as some have suggested.” Former D.C. Police Chief Charles Ramsey, an African-American, says we are “sitting on a powder keg.” Put me down as agreeing with the president. For when a real powder keg blew in the ’60s, I was there. And this is not it. In 1965, the Watts area of Los Angeles exploded in the worst racial violence since the New York draft riot of 1863 when Lincoln had to … Continue reading →

Peggy Noonan writes in the Wall Street Journal that Trump fans (like me) should quit comparing the Donald to the Ronald because the two Republican standard bearers were really quite different: Reagan was suave whereas Trump is often brusque; the former was the two-term governor of a major state, whereas the latter never held elective office (no, he was too busy creating a multi-billion company and lots and lots of jobs.) As a four-time supporter of Ronald Reagan (1968, 1976, 1980 and 1984) and veteran of his two administrations (Departments of Defense and State), I must respectfully disagree with my … Continue reading →

Ben Bernanke is one of the most dangerous men walking the planet. In this age of central bank domination of economic life, he is surely the pied piper of monetary ruin. At least since 2002 he has been talking about “helicopter money” as if a notion which is pure economic quackery actually had some legitimate basis. But strip away the pseudo-scientific jargon, and it amounts to monetization of the public debt—–the very oldest form of something for nothing economics. Back then, of course, Ben’s jabbering about helicopter money was taken to be some sort of theoretical metaphor about the ultimate powers of central bankers, and especially … Continue reading →
