This just Reinforces my Views on Assisted Suicide

My mother died last night.

We’d been expecting it for a long time and frankly, it’s a relief that she’s gone. She was diagnosed with stage 3 inoperable cancer two and a half years ago, along with a host of other failures, and had been in bed in a home ever since. She was never going to recover.

This is why I am so absolutely convinced that assisted suicide is essential. Continue reading This just Reinforces my Views on Assisted Suicide

They Keep Making My Point

So this showed up on Reddit multiple times yesterday and the second it popped up, the second that I saw it, the wheels started to turn because what you see here, we see it in a lot of places these days entirely beyond religion.

Yes, this is another case where the political left are doing the exact same thing as the religious right. Why is that not a surprise? Continue reading They Keep Making My Point

Two Lessons Learned in the Emergency Room

So last night, we rushed our youngest daughter to the emergency room. Don’t worry, she’s fine. It was a gigantic exercise in futility anyhow and we wound up walking out because they were completely incompetent. That’s not the story though, because while we were there, I got to see two things going on.

Neither of them are things that anyone ought to be proud of. Continue reading Two Lessons Learned in the Emergency Room

If You Don’t Want to Know, Don’t Ask!

It’s an old joke to be sure. “Am I fat?” You’re not supposed to be honest and say yes, yet if that’s the truthful answer, why wouldn’t you? You’re not saying it maliciously, you’re trying to save someone you care about from an uncomfortable fact when they still have time to do something about it.

At least that’s how I’ve always looked at it. Yet today, the world has gone entirely off of the rails and there are plenty of people who are only looking for validation from strangers and they don’t want the honest truth.

Well, too bad. Continue reading If You Don’t Want to Know, Don’t Ask!

I Agree with J.K. Rowling!

It isn’t often that I agree with anyone on the left, but here, I do. It’s been a couple of years now, since the whining leftist mob has been trying to end support for Hogwarts Legacy, just because J.K. Rowling said something they didn’t like. She agrees with 99,9999% of everything else the far-left says, it’s just on this single issue that she happens to agree with the overwhelming majority of everyone else.

There’s actually a biological difference between men and women. Imagine that! Continue reading I Agree with J.K. Rowling!

Maybe It’s Just Interpretation?

I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately and frankly, I’m not at all convinced about some of the claims that we’re seeing. Recently, I heard that hate crimes were up year over year and they tried to blame Trump and the conservative right.

Yeah, maybe there’s another explanation that they don’t want to consider? Maybe, it’s all a load of complete bullshit. Continue reading Maybe It’s Just Interpretation?

Quick Response: That’s not How Reality Works

I find these things all the time online, things that are just stupid, but they don’t warrant an extended response, nor are they in the wheelhouse to make a video about. I want to say something but it’s hardly worth my  time to do so.

This is one of those things which will probably blow up into a full-length response, but there you go. Details below the fold. Continue reading Quick Response: That’s not How Reality Works

Prove Your Case!

I was going to write a post on this anyhow, but it came up on a recent video in the comments and I wanted to explain my position in a way that’s really not amenable to YouTube commentary debates.

There was a recent news story that “hate crimes” are on the rise and, of course, the left-leaning media is blaming it all on Trump. What else is new?

The problem is, they can’t actually back that up in any real way. So let’s have a chat. Continue reading Prove Your Case!

Another Example of Ideological Blindness

Now I’ll be honest up front that I am not a big fan of the Friendly Atheist, just like I’m not a big fan of most atheists who routinely mix liberal politics with their atheism and he’s among the worst. This isn’t really about him specifically though, he’s just a convenient segue.  However, he put out a video talking about Candace Cameron Bure and… yeah, we have to talk about it because it’s another clear case where the left entirely ignore all of the things that their side does wrong.

So here we go again. Continue reading Another Example of Ideological Blindness
