Investing in Big Window

Shortly after George Floyd died while under the knee of Derek Chauvin, rioters and looters took to smashing windows of Democrat-run cities across America. Many thought this was a visceral reaction that would stop before long and would be replaced with a more rational national conversation about where we are on matters of policing and race. However, I bet right. Nearly immediately after George Floyd died, I invested heavily in Big Window. I knew that while the nation continued to be mired in Democrat state lockdowns across America, and people were denied the right to hang out with friends,…

Coffee is ruining our donut shops

It used to be that when you went to a donut shop, you could get in, order your donuts, and move on. That is why people go to donut shops, right? Because they have donuts? It says right on the sign. “Donuts.” But ever since Starbucks, donut shops felt they needed to specialize in coffee to compete. So now, when you go to a donut shop, everyone in line takes 10 minutes to get their order because they’re not just ordering donuts, but also ordering coffee. And coffee’s not just some beverage you poor out of a pot anymore….

Doing the jobs Americans won’t do

Isn’t it funny that we need illegal immigrants in this country because they’re the only ones that will do the jobs, like farming and manual construction labor, that Americans just won’t do. Yet, we can pay Americans to run around Democrat-led cities and suburbs and destroy property, set fire, steal from businesses, injure innocent citizens and police officers, block traffic on highways and roads, and create mayhem everywhere they can. Something tells me that as a culture, we have a lot of work to do.

Voter fraud: Let me count the ways

There’s no practical way to prevent, 100%, voter fraud. So long as there are bad actors who are willing to try, there will inevitably be some voter fraud. Our only choice is to do our best to minimize it. Everyone should strongly share a desire to minimize voter fraud and keep it out of our elections. However, that’s not the case. What could possibly be the incentive of those who are advocating systems that increase the likelihood of voter fraud? It’s hardly a stretch to think they’re probably interested in either enabling and committing voter fraud or creating the…

Ferris Bueller represents white teenage boys

One of the best parts of the last four years, politically speaking, is that instead of hiding their ideology by trying to sound like conservatives (even though pursuing socialist policies), the Democrat Party has finally come into their own and is starting to unabashedly tell us who they really are. One of the great articulations is the idea that Democrats specialize in taking something that happens to one person and blowing it out of proportion as representing all people. Take George Floyd. Statistically, black males have about a 1 in 10,000,000 chance of being killed by a police officer,…

We deserve an apology

I was reading up a bit about slavery. Turns out pretty much everything ethnic or demographic group one can think of was enslaved at one point or another throughout human history. Seems like someone owes all of us an apology. Of course, each of us has their own group who owes us an apology, and it’s not all the same group owing the same people an apology. It’s going to be a lot to sort out. But at least we all know to be really angry and unable to functionally contribute to society while we figure it all out….

Racism is a matter of opinion

The fact is, there’s no way to tell how much racism is in the heart of men and women. There’s no way to know how many acts of racism happen in the United States. You can’t know what motivates people to do and say the things they do. If you think something that happened to you was motivated by racism, how do you know? How do you really know? People do things and say things all the time that have reasons and motivations behind them that are nothing like what we think they are. Because the fact is, we…

Conservative : Individual, Liberal : Demographic

One of the core differences between conservatives and liberals is that conservatives see life as a series of events between themselves and anyone else who happens to be involved in those particular events. They see individuals who’ve come together and engaged in an experience unique to them and those circumstances. They see an action and a reaction that lasts however long it does, involving whomever it involves, with unique causes particular to that incident. Conversely, it appears liberals see groups of people who all experience the exact same thing. They simplify and dumb down all of the unique, isolated…

I guess we do get what we deserve

The rest of the world appears to have had enough. While we may be under the belief that the world has essentially said Americans aren’t allowed into other countries because of COVID, I think it’s much simpler than that. I think other countries have finally gotten together and said, “Hey, America! You’re the super power around here. You’re the country everyone else is fleeing to and trying to join, and it’s time you started acting like it.” “We’ve been talking, and we decided you need to all stay in your own country, and we’re not going to let you…

White people are so arrogant

I don’t understand why more people aren’t upset about those who say “black lives matter.” I’m not talking about the communist organization, Black Lives Matter. I’m talking about the sentiment. It strikes me as arrogant to be told by someone else, especially a white person, that black lives matter. Who are they, of all people, to say? So, you’re saying, if a white person didn’t tell you black lives matter, you wouldn’t be able to figure it out on your own? Or, perhaps, you wouldn’t know if you could believe it, if not for a white person saying it?…
