Fight for Election Integrity

I support President Trump and other patriotic Americans fighting for the integrity of our elections. For news and information on the presidential election, these are the most objective and informative sources I have been following: The Epoch Times Sharyl Attkisson Matt Braynard Specific posts especially worth reading or watching for an overview include these: https://www.theepochtimes.com/election-fraud-allegations-infographic_3605589.html […]

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; […]

Update on My New Book

Posted on

Thanks to a reader, I have discovered that my new online bookstore serves only the U.S. and Canada. I made the unwarranted assumption that a bookstore platform run by the leading worldwide distributor of printed books (Ingram) would be international. I apologize for inconveniencing my international readers. Various international Amazon sites are now or soon […]

Leftism, Racism, Death

Posted on

The intrepid Heather Mac Donald, in this excellent short article, reminds us of facts that everyone knows at least approximately: Facts don’t matter to the academic victimology narrative. Far from destroying the black body, whites are the overwhelming target of interracial violence. Between 2012 and 2015, blacks committed 85.5 percent of all black-white interracial violent […]

How I Am Spending My Spring Vacation

First, I am nearly done with my book on epistemology, which has been nearly thirty years in the making. An advance copy is now being read by colleagues. Here is a draft of the cover.

Second Chance for Rural America with COVID-19

Posted on

The best article I have read on the COVID-19 pandemic is An Epistemic Crisis, by Jeffrey A. Tucker, on the website of the American Institute for Economic Research (AIER), an eminent pro-freedom think tank. This article, however, is not merely economic; it is primarily epistemological, as its title suggests. I wish I could quote the […]
