Calling Out Absurdity

Posted on December 26, 2025 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me, the collapse of morality in the world coincides with the decoupling of Christianity from the public square. This has allowed previously absurd questions to be asked. Like, a girl can have a penis, gay … Continue reading →

Hubris Leads To Destruction

Posted on November 21, 2025 by john

Dear Friends, It seems the acme of hubris to me, for someone to think they should take over that which they could never have created. We see this in armed robbery, hostile takeovers, and nationalizations. When someone who was unable … Continue reading →

Limericks

Posted on November 11, 2025 by john

Dear Friends, Some say it’s wealth that you should flaunt,Others say it’s looks that makes them gaunt,Here’s the gist,It comes down to this,Women just don’t know what they want. Business and politics are wed,That’s how politicians are fed,A revolving door,A … Continue reading →

Ethical Failure

Posted on November 9, 2025 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me, a nation’s government can only work when all factions hold themselves to some rational set of rules. If a faction will not, and uses those rules to expand its power, that nation will soon … Continue reading →

Defining An Evil Faction

Posted on November 5, 2025 by john

Dear Friends, It seems absurd to me to expect a faction that’s tyrannically violent, believes itself our betters, holds itself above the law, and even civility itself… will deliver anything but poverty, crime, and despotism once in power. It’s like … Continue reading →

Double Standards Destabilize

Posted on November 2, 2025 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me, the extraordinary double standard we accept without a thought is destabilizing our society. Apparently, members of Trump’s cabinet have to live on military bases because of the overt threats and attempts on their lives. … Continue reading →

The Unethical Faction

Posted on October 12, 2025 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me, a faction that wants to get rid of all limits to power, like a constitution, can exploit that constitution to be a tool of its own destruction. This is because would be despots won’t … Continue reading →

Limericks

Posted on October 11, 2025 by john

Dear Friends, As politicians prattle on,With nothing but a yawn,Are you a freak,That’s wrongspeak,And now your rights are gone. The elite all wear a frown,Running her out of town,Lies need a buttress,Nothing says justice,As when the powerful do punch down. … Continue reading →

Natural Justice

Posted on September 12, 2025 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me, dogs embody justice and fairness innately. They recognize unjust treatment and act accordingly. Anyone with more than one dog has witnessed their sense of justice. This proves that justice is a state of nature. … Continue reading →

The Power Of Silent Prayer

Posted on August 31, 2025 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me a woman in Britain has been arrested several times for silently praying, which tells me, silent prayer is very powerful… else the elite wouldn’t have arrested her for it. Otherwise who cares if she … Continue reading →
