What To Do Now?
Like several recent posts, I really don’t want to write this one, because I know it will make some people angry, but I must. And I write not as someone who claims to have all the answers, but as a fellow seeker of the best future for our country. The subject of this...
Declaration of Dependence
Much has been written about our 250th Anniversary by people much smarter than me. I particularly enjoy the Opinion pieces in the Wall Street Journal. Here are two really good, recent ones by Gerald Baker and Barton Swaim. I also re-read the post I wrote 13 years ago...

Trumped at the Midterms?
I’m generally a conservative-libertarian person of faith. On most issues you’ll find me in the middle of a square roughly defined by Ronald Reagan, Thomas Sowell, Charlie Kirk and Michael Youssef. I was so energized after the 2024 election, as were most friends and...
Will We Learn This Time?
The death of Alex Pretti in Minneapolis should rightly concern everyone and invite transparent investigation. Early this week the truth appeared to be coming out, as one would hope, and so far it has certainly not been on the side of the Ice Agents or the early...
Trump Wins Big by Pushing Dollar Surplus on Foreigners
In a stunning policy reversal which President Trump says he was planning all along, the U.S. has eliminated all tariffs and will encourage cheaper imported goods because Trump says he has forced foreigners to give us real things—cars, computers, steel and coffee—in...
