Thankfully, capable intellectuals are fighting back against the neo-Marxist “woke” ideology, which encompasses critical race theory, intersectionality, LGBT ideology, queer theory, gender studies, feminism, postcolonialism, disability studies, fat studies, and social justice. For a partial list of counters to the woke coalition of malcontents, see my recent blog post entitled “Farewell, Cedar City.” With so […]
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.

The book, in paperback listed for $13 and as an ebook listed for $5, is available on Amazon and in other bookstores through Amazon’s expanded distribution. […]
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 […]
