Well, I had every intention of writing a blog this week about either God, the transcendent human condition, why I really like gefilte fish, or the demographic catastrophe about to manifest on the European continent… But, a funny thing happened on the way to the forum, so to speak. We got a victory in federal court...
Sitting back in my office chair, I watched the video on my computer intently. Security footage showed the famed “QAnon Shaman” casually walking through the Capitol, seemingly being escorted at times by the Capitol police. This video was one of thousands Speaker McCarthy had released to Tucker Carlson of FoxNews and was now being...

This last week has been, well… a “week” for my family. Last Wednesday (as you were hopefully reading the blog), Sandy, Carolyn, Chaney and I, along with Sandy’s extended family, were at Rose Hills Cemetery laying Sandy’s father to rest. I want to talk about her father, my father-in-law, and the girls’ grandfather, in a bit...
