Three Times for Trump. No Regrets. Not One. "Daily Dose of Reason"
Everything Donald Trump is doing is what I voted for. For the first time in my life (I am nearly 63) I do not want my vote back. I have no regrets whatsoever. However, I do think people with my perspective will look back in 5...
Individual Rights are Not Negotiable "Daily Dose of Reason"
It's wise to have boundaries. What's a personal boundary? It's a non-negotiable. It's what you refuse to permit or participate in, as a recognition that you alone are sovereign over your life.
You communicate boundaries pr...
America Is Not a Nation of Immigrants "Daily Dose of Reason"
America is not a nation “built by immigrants.” America was built by settlers. There’s a difference. Settlers ventured out into the wilderness to build a civilization from scratch. The modern immigrant comes to a place t...
"Greed is what's wrong with America. Now give me 90 percent of your income," say the "democratic" socialists.
It's already happening in New York City. Mamdani is transferring ownership of private property to government han...
Communism means the government owns everything. Anyone in office gets to decide what he wants to do with anyone's property. All property is public. Have you thought out the implications of this for your own freedom, Democrat ...
RINOs and Leftist Totalitarians vs. Freedom "Daily Dose of Reason"
The last remaining freedoms standing in America will be: The First and Second Amendments. Freedom of speech, and the right to bear arms. Democrats and RINOs come for the Second before the First, for obvious reasons. Watch Vir...
Outlaw Capitalism? Outlaw Life As We Know It "Daily Dose of Reason"
The people who make bread are told that profit is evil, and are taxed into loss. On top of it, the more efficient and effective they were at making bread, the more immoral they were declared to be. We're told that you're not ...
Why Trump’s Approach on Iran is the Only Approach "Daily Dose of Reason"
I understand Trump’s position on Iran. You cannot negotiate with terrorists. But you also can't "regime change." You cannot give the Iranian people liberty and freedom. They don't necessarily want it, and they don't necessa...
Socialism Inevitably Leads to Violence Because Socialism IS Violence "Daily Dose of Reason"
It's entirely logical, and was always inevitable. Collectivism--Communism, socialism, fascism--requires violence to be enforced. They'd like to make it look like you chose it. "Democratic socialism" is a ludicrous contradicti...
In a post on X from Wednesday, South Carolina Congresswoman and candidate for Governor Nancy Mace pointed out that Democrat Reps. Ilhan Omar, Shri Thanedar, and Pramila Jayapal, are “all born in foreign countries, none were...
File This Under Self-Esteem "Daily Dose of Reason"

America Will Not Go Down Without a Fight "Daily Dose of Reason"
If I read it accurately, every single candidate endorsed by Trump has won against a RINO opponent. In a way, this is bigger news than Republicans beating Democrats. Why? Because a big part of the reason Republicans lose so mu...
Don’t Celebrate Socialism Until You’ve Tried It "Daily Dose of Reason"
They shout that socialism is better than capitalism, while choosing to live in a capitalist country. And never having lived in a non-capitalist country. They say guns are evil, but they depend on guns to arm the government au...
Small Town Advice: Keep Your Business to Yourself "Life's a Beach!"
In spite of the summer hustle and bustle of our beautiful Delaware beaches, there’s still that “off-season” time of year when our resort yet again becomes a small town. This is when I start hearing one of the most commo...
Time to Let Go of the Federal Government? "Daily Dose of Reason"
You see these maps again and again. The overwhelming majority of America, based on counties and towns, is Republican. Only cities -- primarily huge cities -- are Democratic (and are overwhelmingly so). The rest of the country...
"Texas and Florida get the most attention from conservative talk show hosts and other observers as the locations where residents are moving to avoid the high costs of blue states, but the latest data shows that South Carolina...
If Karen is a member of the middle class, she will be the first and hardest hit when her beloved socialist policies take effect in her new red state.
Why? Socialist policies create inflation, because of the massive governm...
Republicans are Dysfunctional; Democrats are Totalitarians "Daily Dose of Reason"
When you say, as a white person, that white people have greater rights under the law than black people, and you imply that white people are superior to black people, because of genetics--you are a racist and a racial supremac...
“Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark in the hopeless swamps of the not-quite, the not-yet, and the not-at-all. Do not let the hero in your soul perish in lonely frustration for the life you deserved an...
