Regarding Question 1 from my previous post on cryptocurrencies, I want to address an argument made by some proponents of cryptos. An example of this argument was made by Robert Breedlove, a popular proponent of Bitcoin, on the Mikhaila Peterson Podcast #124 (beginning at the 59:15 mark), in response to the question, “What about the […]
Until recently, I had paid little attention to cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin, because they seemed to be just another form of fiat currency—backed by nothing of real value. They seemed to be a reductio ad absurdum—a spoof—of government-issued fiat currency: If a government can declare money into existence from nothing, then so can an anonymous […]
Expel the state-run university, save your freedom. The video embedded below is an expanded version of a talk I gave on August 5, 2021, bidding farewell to Cedar City, Utah. I left this rural town because critical race theory has thoroughly infected the local state-run university, Southern Utah University. To save the town, local citizens […]
I celebrate Atlas Shrugged Day (September 2) each year by opening to a random page of Atlas Shrugged, by Ayn Rand, and reading a passage. Here is what I found today, on page 790 of the hardcover book (New York: Random House, 1957), Part III, Chapter II (“The Utopia of Greed”): Of any one person, of any […]
One afternoon last week, near the end of a physical workout at home, I felt a fluttering in my chest. I took my pulse, and it was very erratic: fast beats followed by a long pause, more fast beats, another long pause, etc. After a couple of minutes of more of the same, I called […]

Some readers of this blog may wonder why I have not written recently on politics. Sadly, the disastrous Biden administration is a predictable sequel to the Obama administration, which I blogged about for eight years. Thankfully, I live in relocated to a red dot in a red state, where Biden got less than 20% of […]
The Imaginative Conservative has published an essay of mine entitled “Abolish the Electoral College… or Abolish the Popular Vote?” The essay begins as follows: Instead of the United States abandoning the Electoral College, state legislatures should take us in exactly the opposite direction. From now on, they should abandon a statewide popular vote for president, […]
As is my custom, I celebrate the birthday of Ayn Rand (February 2) by opening one of her novels to a random page and reading. Here is something I read today, from The Fountainhead, Part Two, Chapter 5: She went out alone for long walks. She walked fast, her hands in the pockets of an old […]
I support President Trump in his ongoing fight, whether as President or not, to save America by restoring the integrity of our elections. I also commend President Trump for opposing lawlessness, whether by supporters or enemies. This opposition to lawlessness is in stark contrast to Democrats–such as Biden, Harris, and mainstream media–who have condoned and […]
