Happy 116th Birthday of Ayn Rand

As is my custom, I celebrate the birthday of Ayn Rand (February 2) by opening one of her novels to a random page and reading. Here is something I read today, from The Fountainhead, Part Two, Chapter 5: She went out alone for long walks. She walked fast, her hands in the pockets of an old […]

Fight for Election Integrity, Continued

Posted on

I support President Trump in his ongoing fight, whether as President or not, to save America by restoring the integrity of our elections. I also commend President Trump for opposing lawlessness, whether by supporters or enemies. This opposition to lawlessness is in stark contrast to Democrats–such as Biden, Harris, and mainstream media–who have condoned and […]

Anti-Trumper for Trump

Posted on

I did not vote for Trump last time, but I will this time, because the Democratic Party has turned against civilization. A clear sign that both candidates—and both major parties—have betrayed liberty is that both parties unequivocally want the government to continue requiring health insurance for pre-existing conditions. Just a decade ago, half the country […]

Artists, Take Your Stand

Posted on

I posted this message on Facebook in August 2018 and again in August 2019. The message is especially important in 2020, with civilization under assault. Are you an artist who loves beauty, not ugliness; virtues, not flaws; heroes, not mediocrities; integrity, not contradictions; clarity, not ambiguity; aspiration, not futility; romance, not promiscuity; eloquence, not vulgarity; […]

Book Recommendation: Effective Discipline the Montessori Way

Posted on

In a recent article in American Thinker, my good friend Charlotte Cushman writes,  Choosing popularity instead of reality leads to the mob mentality we are seeing today.  The educational approach that is used in schools is highly influential in the choice the child makes. Much has been written to explain how “progressive education” indoctrinates children […]
