Dear Friends, Mamdani’s smarmy and scolding,A proverbial wolf in sheep’s clothing,Selling absurdity,Later atrocity,And in the end he’ll inspire loathing. Barack Obama is a true hater,A rabid arrogant race baiter,Dumb as a stump,His brain is a lump,And to his foolishness they … Continue reading →

Outliving Its Usefulness

Posted on January 14, 2026 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me once a thing has outlived its usefulness, or has proven itself to be counterproductive, it’s time to retire it. That logic is no where better applied than to the Administrative State and Federal Reserve. … Continue reading →

Ivy League Reputations

Posted on January 4, 2026 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me, the progressive long march through the institutions has culminated in the collapse of the Ivy League’s reputation. We have all smelled the stench of rot emanating from them for a while. Moreover it’s long … Continue reading →

Dear Friends, Another failure of central planning,Bureaucrats in dire need of canning,But not to worry,They’re in a hurry,Corrupting laws and wrongspeak banning. The faction that wants arbitrary rule,They use our Constitution as a tool,Our rights are yanked,Theirs are sacrosanct,And not … Continue reading →

Leadership Judged

Posted on December 7, 2025 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me, the quality of the world’s leadership can be judged in three ways, prosperity, peace, and freedom. By all three metrics our world leaders are abject failures. Liberty has become a dirty word to the … Continue reading →
