We have everything people 150 years ago dreamed of: -Running water & Electricity -A 40 hour work week -Retirement & Long life -Entertainment galore -Cheap food -Relatively safe & affordable housing Yet, most are still ungrateful and unsatisfied. It's not politics; it's us.

I challenge anyone who doesn't think boys have an advantage over girls in sports to go look up junior high track meet results Even by 7th grade, boys are far faster and stronger than girls in every event without exception Letting biological boys compete against girls is wrong

Why aren't there U.S. colleges that: -Are affordable -Put teaching before research -Value academics over athletics -Focus on serving U.S. students -Actually prep grads for real jobs Turns out, they do exist They’re called community colleges

It's 2025 and I shake hands with people, hug friends, walk around without a mask, and remain unvaccinated. All things the Covid experts said would never again be possible.

I have some background in weather forecasting. Anyone trying to blame budget cuts for the tragedy in Texas is an awful person, liar, and/or grifter. The NWS put out watches over a day before and warnings 3 hours before. The tragedy was simply caused by flash flooding at 4am.

I've heard "white male" used as a pejorative 3 times in a professional setting over the past 2 weeks. Like, "well he's just acting like a typical white male" when describing a bad behavior. This wouldn't be acceptable with any other demographic in the work place.

I want a school from the 1950s, a house from the 1960s, a church from the 1970s, a washer from the 1980s, and a car from 1990s. Technological development isn't always better.

It's amazing how good it is for you to get outside and exercise for just 30 minutes each day. It's more powerful than the majority of drugs people take for mental and physical health issues. It helps you lose weight, fight cancer, and sleep better. And it's free!

The growth of fatherless kids over the last 50 years is the greatest threat to U.S. longevity and prosperity As a father, I can't imagine not being involved in my kids lives They and my wife bring me the greatest joy on a daily basis We desperately need a cultural awakening

Healthy People don't need Covid vaccinations Non sexually active kids don't need HPV vaccinations The chicken pox vaccine mandate was a bad idea Flu vaccinations aren't that helpful for most people Healthy adults don’t need shingles vaccines

You don't get revenge through violence You get revenge through winning at the ballot box You get revenge through continuing to win the debates You get revenge by living a healthy, happy life
