Have no fear, grab a beer, the Future of America is Queer

I wrote yesterday about relative morality in America. It's no longer clear what we can do, should do, would do or ought to do. Everybody is making up their own rules. If an individual or group is popular or has power, they win. If not, they are shamed, humiliated and punished. Mob rule has overtaken … Continue reading Have no fear, grab a beer, the Future of America is Queer →

Church calls on Americans to NEVER call the police

LA Times writer, Jaweed Kaleem, is a thoughtful author who focuses on trends of race and ethnicity that shape our evolving understanding of what it means to be American. Regarding a previous article of his, I pointed out the hypocrisy of the radical Left for calling to remove historical statues from America that possibly offend Native … Continue reading Church calls on Americans to NEVER call the police →

Memorial Day 2018: some serve America while most serve themselves

I come from a long line of heroes. I wrote about my great, great grandfather, Robert A. Lower, who earned the Congressional Medal of Honor at the Siege of Vicksburg. He was one of 18 survivors from a regiment of 120 union solders who fought to end slavery in America. Black Americans are free today … Continue reading Memorial Day 2018: some serve America while most serve themselves →

Ireland legalizes the murder of babies

I have been a life-long supporter of the women's movement. I incorrectly thought they would usher in a kinder, more gentle world. Instead, the crusade has led to intense selfishness and opportunism by females. The Left historically boasted of a "huge political tent" that includes everyone. Shouldn't a developing child be included as well? Aborting … Continue reading Ireland legalizes the murder of babies →

NFL does the Right Thing and bans protests

Let me be clear — Black Americans suffer discrimination in many ways. My family, such as Robert A. Lower, has been fighting for their human rights for generations. Yesterday, NYC Mayor, Bill De Blasio, directed police to stop arresting people for using cannabis in public. The city nabbed 17,880 people last year for "low-level" marijuana … Continue reading NFL does the Right Thing and bans protests →

Another school shooting as America continues to bully boys and men

Dimitrios Pagourtzis, the 17-year-old alleged shooter in the Santa Fe, Texas high school attack, left at least 10 dead and 10 more wounded. He used a shotgun and a .38 caliber handgun in the slaughter. The weapons apparently belonged to his father. I wrote previously how negligently America behaves toward boys. Some 14 boys per 100,000 commit … Continue reading Another school shooting as America continues to bully boys and men →

Take a moment to remember your mother

My mother passed a little over three years ago. Her suffering finally ended. For those of you who have lost a parent, you know the pain. She was the first one to hold me, to nourish me, and to teach me I was loved. In my many years, I've been able to watch thousands of … Continue reading Take a moment to remember your mother →

It’s not racism, it is FEAR

A mother of two boys from New Mexico claims her sons were racially profiled when university police at Colorado State pulled them from a campus tour group to question them about their identity. Was this a racist act or prudent safety concern? Both Native Americans, Thomas Kanewakeron Gray, 19, and his brother Lloyd Skanahwati Gray, … Continue reading It’s not racism, it is FEAR →

For women who wish they had courage

Huffington Post has become a portal for people, primarily women and those in minority groups, to air grievances. They provide a useful service. People who feel marginalized now have a platform where they can share experiences and find commonality with others. The downside is the publication has become Whiny Post. Editors select stories that normalize … Continue reading For women who wish they had courage →

Kanye is correct that slavery is a choice

Kanye West prides himself on being what he claims is a "free thinker." Earlier this week, the rapper said, "When you hear about slavery for 400 years ... for 400 years? That sounds like a choice." Kanye's comment wasn't popular with the African American community. Blair L. M. Kelley, professor of history and African-American studies at … Continue reading Kanye is correct that slavery is a choice →
