A constituent of the vast baby boomer generation with a career which has been fortunate to know the ponderous corporate worlds, as well as the intimately pressurized, and invigorating entrepreneurial domains of high tech and venture capital, I have harvested my share of mistakes meandering through corridors of enterprise from Silicon Valley, to London and endless, colourful, sometimes praetorian points in between. The voyage has provided an abundance of fodder for a pen yielding to an inquisitive keyboard, a foraging mind, and a passionate spirit.
Whether political or business or social or economic or personal, is it not all political? It is a privilege to write, and an even greater privilege to be read by anyone, and sometimes with the wind at my back the writing may occasionally be legible. I do not write to invite scorn, nor to invite respect, but if I get really lucky the writing can stimulate thinking. I also write for the very selfish purpose of animating my own processes, and engaging the best of what life offers. Above all, whether biting fire or swatting shadows, I am grateful to be gifted the freedom to write and publish whatever flows down to the keyboard. To all those who enabled this freedom, and to all those standing guard to preserve it, I am indebted.
On August 2, 1776, in the hushed silence pervading Independence Hall’s Assembly Room, in Philadelphia, fifty six Congress members signed The Declaration of Independence. Some signed furtively, some with aplomb, …
Extraordinary and obvious madness is flooding Western society. A society privileged to have reached a stable and apparently too comfortable state of being. This state of comfort and well-being is …
President Trump is fighting to win an election with an energy that is unlike anything we’ve ever seen. He will very likely gain support from over twenty percent of the African-America vote, and probably as much as thirty five percent of the Latino vote. Those will be historical numbers for a Republican leader.
The selfish left’s tired exhibitions of envy and clamourings for violence manifest an exasperating ignorance of human nature and the reality of America’s underpinnings, which have shaped the Nation’s success.
Well into his second year in the Oval Office, President Trump has, by any objective measure of pro-freedom and applied common sense, accomplished more that most Presidents in memory. That is, “more” with respect to moving America positively forward as a successful Nation, rather than allowing it to recede into stagnant oblivion, rushing over the cliff of socialism and into the abyss of communism.
June 1, 2017 President Trump stood at a White House podium and announced that he was standing up for America, for Americans, and for American jobs. He proved he was against the globalist, no-border crowd occupying much of California and New York, as well as Europe, as he withdrew from the Paris Climate Agreement. President Trump’s stand even drew Goldman Sachs CEO Loyd Blankfein out of his globalist closet long enough for his first tweet ever, stating “today’s decision is a setback for the environment and the U.S.’s leadership position in the world.”
Uninhibited by evident, even glaring hypocrisy, Mark Zuckerberg told a fresh crop of Democrats graduating from the Harvard romper rooms this week, “We should explore ideas like universal basic …
Jeff Sessions, President Trump’s just appointed Attorney General, recused himself today from the investigation into the left’s fake pretence that Russia meddled with the Presidential elections and had ties to …
Swept-up in the energy created by President Trump’s journey to the Nation’s podium to take the oath of office, is a sea of grateful Republicans. Across America Republicans have leaped to majorities in 67 state legislatures and control of 37 governorships. Over the past eight years Democrats have relinquished 800 seats in state legislatures, relegating the party to its weakest condition in almost a century. Is the fate of the Democratic party sealed? Not yet.
The Obama departure from the Oval Office is going as expected. Landmines have been laid, grenades have been jettisoned, lies have been repeated, and “I’m the greatest President in history and I’m not going anywhere,” has been proclaimed. Bloating of the dangerously large government bureaucracy with entrenched operatives is getting some final bloating gas to ensure a protraction of the socialist mindset which will make a reversal all but impossible.
