Receiving Found Money

Estimated Reading Time: 3 minutes

During my morning routine prior to work, I was taking a break when the phone rang. At the other end was a gentleman telling me he had found money for me. From there my day changed. I sat up and listened. Who wouldn’t? I am getting free legal money not handed out by a loathsome […]

Rampell Strikes Again

Estimated Reading Time: 3 minutes

As a rule, columnists generally do not like to riff on other people’s products but rather create one’s own. Sometimes one is just forced to do so because of the message put out by others that have a significant position in the journalistic world. Those people do a disservice by providing misleading information on a […]

Real Life Effects of Equity

Estimated Reading Time: 4 minutes

The current attempt to turn our society on its head by establishing equity as the standard for advancement instead of excellence has become quite apparent. The failures are right in front of us. Two shining examples that glare at us daily are visible members of our federal government. The first is our transportation secretary. We […]

The title is a “turn of phrase” from when the Greeks provided the Trojans with the gift of a giant wooden horse. Similarly, whenever a government — in this case Biden’s government – appears to give private industry money for a directed purpose, there is a laundry list of caveats. In this case, we are […]

Transgenders

Estimated Reading Time: 3 minutes

This topic somehow has become one of the most important subjects in America. It is characterized by some as “the civil rights fight of our time.” A recent column by one of the “sterling” columnists at the New York Times finally made me address this issue. Jamelle Bouie belongs to the chorus of writers at […]

Hoorah for Hate Speech

Estimated Reading Time: 4 minutes

You, like I, certainly are stunned that there would be a day in the United States where people are talking about banning certain forms of speech and branding it as “hate speech.” As someone who is a free speech absolutist, I find the entire matter repulsive. I applaud that the opportunity to offend me by […]
