By evolution. I do not mean changes within species. Long before Charles Darwin published his On the Origin of Species, dog, horse, and cattle breeders1 knew about the positive and negative effects of acquired traits in selective breeding. By evolution, I mean something-from-nothing, molecule-to-man evolution. If a scientist can’t demonstrate

The article was dated April 1, so I thought it was an April Fool’s joke. Because stories like the one I’m about to describe no longer surprise me, I checked to see if the story had been published elsewhere. “An Alabama youth minister was fined $25 for using a metal

The Montana House of Representatives advanced a bill that would ban Sharia law in the state. With a Democrat Governor, there’s a good chance that he will veto it. “Senate Bill 97, sponsored by Keith Regier, R-Kalispell, passed mainly along party lines on Monday 56-44. While it does not specifically mention

I’m not for attacking people personally. Here’s my operating premise: “Don’t give anyone the opportunity to reject your position other than the position itself.” While I do not always follow my own rule, I do my best to keep the debate about the debate. Anything else is a distraction. Only

If you are a film lover like I am, you are familiar with the “son of” films. Son of Kong (1933),  Son of Frankenstein (1939), Son of Dracula (1943), and Son of Dr. Jekyll (1951) come to mind. There was also Son of Flubber (1963), but that’s a different genre. They were cheap

While on an excursion to the Temple of Poseidon in Cape Sounion, Greece, someone asked the guide about education in Greece. She said it was free. I kept my mouth shut. The last thing you want to do on a cruise ship is make enemies. Being tossed overboard in the middle

During my trip to Athens, Greece, I stopped at the Temple of Olympian Zeus, “a name originating from his position as head of the Olympian gods,” near the Arch of Hadrian. The temple complex took nearly 700 years to complete: “The temple’s glory was short-lived, as it fell into disuse after

I’m reporting from Athens, Greece. I recommend it. It’s a great place to visit. A couple of observations before I get to the subject of taxation. As you probably know, the national language of Greece is Greek. Nearly every person we spoke with who speaks Greek also speaks English. Some

Liberals love the Bible when they think they have found something in it that supports their concocted moral, social, and political theories. Even some conservatives fail to recognize that the Bible does not support an expansive tax-and-spend centralized government no matter how beneficent the cause is said to be. Hillary

I thought it was a joke. But it’s not. Actually, it is a joke, but it’s not funny: “Some of the wealthiest New Yorkers are asking the state to raise their taxes. “Eighty people including George Soros, Steven Rockefeller and Abigail Disney wrote to lawmakers and Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo

The Duke Blue Devils lost to No. 7 University of South Carolina Gamecocks 88-81. Some fans contend that it was North Carolina’s bathroom bill that contributed to the loss since the NCAA would not hold any part of its tournament in North Carolina because of the “discriminatory” law. Because of the NCAA’s

My grandparents (both sides) were born in Italy. My mother had 11 brothers and sisters and my father had 10. My grandparents could not speak English very well. They insisted that their children learn English, and learn it well. My mother’s father sold the farm that he owned on the

Movie remakes can be hazardous. Few can compete with the originals. There are exceptions. The Man Who Knew Too Much, Ben Hur, Tombstone (a remake of My Darling Clementine), and Ocean’s Eleven. In other cases, both the original and the remake are good on their own: Pygmalion and My Fair Lady,

Governments can perform illegal acts. Not everything a government does is moral or justified. Just because a government says something is right and good does not make it so. There was a time when it was OK to enslave people. In 1973, the Supreme Court ruled that killing unborn babies

You may have seen the article that milk is now racist. It’s not racist because it’s white; it’s racist because of calcium and the way non-whites assimilate it and government nutrition guidelines. The Mother Jones article [see here] states that not only is milk non-beneficial to Africans, but following the guidelines

It seems that everyone in Hollywood is liberal. Those who don’t say anything one way or the other may be conservative. Big name stars like Clint Eastwood and Jon Voight get a pass because their films make money. There are others who make noise about their (fake?) liberal political views

The Democrats wanted to see Donald Trump’s tax returns. Now they have, and they’re sorry his 2005 tax returns ever came to light. Be careful what you wish for. Rachel Maddow believed she had gotten a golden ring to expose Trump as a tax-dodging fraud until Trump beat her to

It’s a simple request. Homosexual have been claiming that they are homosexual by nature. That is, their genetic makeup puts them in the same sexual character as heterosexuals even though the plumbing is all wrong. Since heterosexuals can get married, it stands to reason that a third sex like homosexuality/lesbianism
