What we should have learned from the zoo

It’s only Wednesday, and in the past three days, I’ve heard four separate stories about people who made the deliberate decision not to go to work because they’re making more through the COVID unemployment than they would if they went to work. There was plenty of concern about this in conservative news outlets. Why work for $100 when someone is going to come along and give you $200? As usual, the worst marketing department in the history of marketing departments (that would be the Republican Party’s marketing department) is completely missing the opportunity to teach on this. First off,…

One of the fundamental differences between liberals and conservatives

Yesterday, I noticed California Representative Eric Swalwell liked this tweet from Michael Skolnik: The question. The chosen image. The participation. They all illustrate one of the fundamental differences between conservatives and liberals. Conservatives understand that people are fundamentally flawed. That when we say people are capable of anything, we mean anything – good or bad. The Founding Fathers understood that people are not angels and cannot be trusted with unchecked power. That is why they structured the government with checks and balances – dividing power three ways. Liberals, however, have a very different view. They believe that some people,…

The Democrat’s Limbaugh miscalculation

We can’t know what’s in the hearts and minds of another, but I think there’s plenty of evidence to strongly suggest the Blue State, or Democrat governors, are continuing their state lockdowns in the interests of furthering the economic pain. Why would they do this? Because, as we discussed yesterday, the Democrat Party is unified in everything they do. And their number one goal remains to remove and destroy Donald Trump, by any means necessary, as soon as possible. Unfortunately for them, they made one big miscalculation. By making everyone stay home – whether they’re working from home or…

When groupthink is an advantage

One of the hallmarks of liberalism is groupthink. You don’t hear much disagreement or dissension amongst liberals because they all read from the same script, get their instructions from the same playbook, and expect everyone else to do the same. It is no secret the Democrats own the mainstream media, culture, and public schools. No matter where you turn in America, you can’t avoid the Democrat message of the day. If they decide Trump said everyone must ingest disinfectants, there will be one press release written, and every news outlet, politician, and celebrity will echo it. If a black…

A word to Airpod users

We’re in the age of Airpods. Since we’re no longer interacting in person, we find ourselves in a continual state of Zoom or phone conversations. As a result, I’ve had more exposure to Airpods than I ever thought possible. Airpods are great. Don’t get me wrong. They block sound, the speakers are great, and the mic is outta sight. Especially the mic. In fact, they’re so good, I wanted to share one piece of advice to those who use Airpods: Can you please stop eating or drinking when you’re having a conversation over Airpods. Especially drinking. When you swallow,…

Assigning protestors

Every day, more and more people are turning out to protest state lockdown orders. People can see what’s happening around them. As much as the media keeps their running death toll in our faces, people know that the real patient is our country, and we’re on life support. As people turn out, the media and Democrats, continually refer to these people as “Trump supporters.” The intent is to make them look like country rubes who are too stupid to realize how much danger they’re in by not locking down. What the media Democrats aren’t realizing is that many of…

Big sunflower is taking it on the chin

With Major League Baseball shut down, I’ll bet big sunflower is taking a huge hit. In fact, I’m guessing big bubble gum is in even more dire straits. If you’ve ever seen the sheer quantity of gum, candy, sunflower seeds, and other small pack chewables that get delivered to major league baseball fields during the season, you’d know this has to be a significant hit on all of those businesses. While most of the baseball players can probably take this hit, I’m guessing many of the people who work in and around the stadiums of professional sports are facing…

We all count, but we’re not all essential

Earlier today, I was walking around the neighborhood and saw a Census 2020 poster with their slogan: “We all count.” My guess is this campaign was conceived before the coronavirus pandemic, because we’ve since learned we’re not all essential. In fact, I believe, speaking of counting, that we’ve determined 36 million Americans don’t count. That’s the number of Americans who’ve lost their job since the start of the lockdown. That number coincides with the workers who’ve been told by their governors that they are “non-essential.” Not surprisingly, the Census, a government-run organization, will learn, when the counting is over,…

When is an economy a President’s economy?

Man, being a Democrat must just get harder and harder all the time. It’s no secret the Democrat Party goal of the last four years has been to remove Donald Trump from office, no matter how great the barrier or how untoward the act necessary to get it done. But some of the things Democrats are saying in public these days are truly amazing, if you’re paying attention. It’s been well-covered that one of the first things President Trump did when we started to understand the coronavirus outbreak was to shut down travel from China. When he did, Democrats…

Lessons from Mom

Today is Mother’s Day, and I can’t help but reflect on how valuable my own mother has been in shaping the person I am today. Growing old is fun and interesting in so many ways. One way is how the way you start seeing your parents changes. As you get older, you stop seeing them as parents, and start seeing them for the people they are, and the people they were. You start to wonder what they were really like when you were only seeing the “parent” side of them. You start to wonder how they would fit into…
