The ubiquity and frequency of the word fascism have grown significantly in recent years to the point that it is now used as a weapon as opposed to a philosophical argument. Declaring that another is a fascist is a way to discredit the accused fascist and silence debate about the topic at hand. For most, this logical fallacy was obvious and showed that true intellectual dialogue could not be contin...

Two shoe salesmen were sent to a new territory to assess its market potential and report back to their company. The first salesman reported back, “There is no potential, nobody wears shoes here.” The second salesman reported back, “There is unbelievable potential, nobody wears shoes here.” This story is a concise example of a situation that may be viewed both as an obstacle or an opportunity. A fe...

In 2025, Health and Human Services (HHS) has implemented changes in vaccine recommendations for the COVID vaccines, the MMRV combination vaccine, and potentially the Hepatitis B vaccine. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) has aligned with Big Pharma to incentivize blue states to defy the CDC’s vaccine recommendation changes, and the AAP has stated intent to lobby against religious exemptions...

For the past decade, medical freedom has been my primary issue. Historically, medical freedom was a non-partisan issue. That changed with the controversy over the pandemic mandate of an experimental vaccine. Medical freedom unites allies who are Republicans, Democrats, Libertarians, and Independents. These friendships have given me a unique perspective on the messaging weaknesses of the Republican...

I remember hearing a story about a young man who seeks advice from his teacher after repeatedly failing to reach his goals. The teacher gave him the task of carrying a lit candle to a tree a few feet away without its flame going out. The young man tried several times but each time, the wind extinguished the flame. The teacher explained that the flame represents the young man’s mind and his focus,...

As any parent of a toddler can attest, it takes an act of bravery or a momentary lapse of judgement to give an open-ended question with no restraints to a toddler. What do you want for dinner is promptly met with what everyone would expect of limitless options: cake, ice cream, popcorn, and all the delights that most certainly do not make for the most nutritious of meals. This also extends to the...

Colorado’s three-day waiting period is built on a presumption of guilt. It assumes that every law-abiding buyer who passes a background check is a potential threat to themselves or others, and so the state imposes a blanket delay before a constitutionally protected arm may be delivered. That premise is not only offensive to due process and common sense, it fails the Supreme Court’s Bruen test and...

In 2022, I wrote Protecting Senior Citizens from Asset Theft by Collusion of Doctors and Judges and this is Part Two. This theft occurs when a doctor declares that a person does not have the mental capacity to make medical decisions and then colludes with a judge to appoint a court ordered guardian. The guardian then takes control of all assets of the victim who is placed in a conspiring facility,...

In ancient Mesopotamia there lived a king by the name of Gilgamesh who went on an adventure to find immortality. On his journey he discovered that his true immortality does not rest on eternal life, yet on the impact he makes on others and the legacy he leaves behind. This is an old story about character, curiosity, and communication which leads to connection through personal reflection, and the i...
