The sage comedian George Carlin said, “Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.”
Everyone enjoys a “point of view” on just about any subject or event. If you interviewed a dozen people at an intersection where a car accident took place, you would get 12 different versions of the same accident.
A number of weeks ago, Renee Good, mother of three, harassed and blocked … Read more...

You may see them tapping on their cell phones at bus stops, in the park, while riding their bicycles, while skiing, in the weight room, at the pool, on the beach, while attending a lecture, in church, in classrooms…virtually everywhere in America and around the world.
Cell phones may … Read more...

This past weekend, “Gay Pride” LGBTQ parades flourished in large cities across America. Approximately 5.5 percent of Americans identify as homosexuals, bisexuals, lesbians, queers, transgenders and other forms of sexual expressions and/or perversions. That equates to around 14 million people who live a lifestyle outside the norms of average American society.
That same group suffers horrific suicide rates: “Among gay or lesbian youth, 37% seriously considered suicide… Read more...

It started in the 1970’s with “Affirmative Action”; it continues in the 21st century with “Diversity, Equity, Inclusion.” It allowed unqualified American citizens of color or gender to gain jobs over qualified Americans who educated themselves, worked hard and proved their worth.
Those two entities proved to be the biggest cons in American history as to trying to offer equal opportunity. It started in the 1970’s with … Read more...

In the past 50 years, I have bicycled the length and width of California seven times. I have motorcycled the coast 10 times. I have driven a car up the coast 8 times. I’ve driven a United Van Lines 18 wheeler dozens of times around California during my trucking years. In other words, I have seen California from every possible angle.
I’ve visited Yosemite, Prairie Creek Redwoods, … Read more...

Mass and endless immigration out of the Third World degrades America’s, and all Western Countries’, literacy and educational standings in the world.
As a former math-science teacher in middle schools and in the inner-city, along with being a college lecturer, I discovered that IQ’s, whether high or low, define a student’s ability and/or desire to excel in academics. With an IQ over 110-120+, a student “wants” to … Read more...

In a recent podcast, a man I highly respect, Victor Davis Hanson, said, “D.E.I., Woke, and the Green New Deal are like a social hydrogen bomb hitting America. These new terms being practiced are de-civilizing California into a third world country. If other states follow California, they will end up in the same boat.”
The fires that destroyed California were preventable! But Governor Gavin “Nero” Newsom, LA … Read more...

The Every Student Succeeds Act of 2015 passed in the U. S. House and Senate this week.
After fighting this bill for almost a year, activists are wondering how it passed with overwhelming bi-partisan support.

The U.S. Senate Education Committee met with House members and approved a compromise version of the Every Student Succeeds Act last week. They plan a full vote on the bill shortly after Thanksgiving. The “Sense of Congress” as expressed in the House version, flies in the face of the 10th Amendment. Article 1, Section 8 of the U.S. Constitution lists the enumerated powers of … Read more...

E Pluribus Unum, on U.S. coins is Latin for “out of many, one.” Part of America’s national identity has been connected to the use of one language. Immigrants from many lands and language groups have assimilated into the United States. Learning English has been a large part of that process. New education legislation, passed in 2015, requires schools to test certain students in other languages, … Read more...
