Five Hints to Make Your Second Career a Reality

…ear. Don’t fall for false alternatives. Years ago, a man told me he really wanted to become a presidential press secretary. And if that didn’t happen, he would have to end up as a greeter for Walmart. After I picked myself up off the floor, I realized this guy genuinely believed that there was simply nothing in between. In reality, there’s everything in between. All he had to do was to take off his blinders. Beware the foolish false alternatives!… Continue reading

Why Repealing the Patriot Act Won’t Fix America

…s, the onus is on the government to prove that a particular law actually accomplishes that, and only seeks to accomplish that. But the government as we know it is not a rights-respecting government. No, it’s not a dictatorship, but it’s moving more and more in an authoritarian direction. It has become much worse since Obama, but it has been going on since at least the time of the New Deal and the Federal Reserve, when government began to take on p… Continue reading

Democrats & Leftists: Preparing Us for Dictatorship (Theirs, Not Trump’s)

…ted. It’s hilarious. It’s pathetic. It’s also sad and dangerous. Democrats are halfway there with the cultural and psychological climate for a dictatorship. It’s the other half of us who will have to be dragged kicking, screaming, and whatever else it takes to come around to their point-of-view. And it will still never happen.   Follow Dr. Hurd on Facebook. Search under “Michael Hurd” (Rehoboth Beach DE). Get up-to-the-minute postings, recommended… Continue reading

HATE is Where the Left Is

…k out what Antifa just did to Trump supporters at a San Francisco rally. The hate is ALL on the left. I don’t know what resistance under a Biden-American Communist regime would look like. I hope not to find out. All I know: Maybe Joe and his smug totalitarians shouldn’t be quite so complacent.       Follow Dr. Hurd on Facebook. Search under “Michael Hurd” (Rehoboth Beach DE).

Enough of the Chronic Complainers!

…e who see the negative first and only, in everything. They’re the type who complain about technology. ‘It dehumanizes us,’ they complain. But if the power goes out, or the Internet goes down, they’re the first to complain about the loss of Facebook and whatever else. ‘I feel so disconnected from everyone,’ they complain. They’re the type who complain about government—not the presence of government, but its absence. Everything that ails the world c… Continue reading

Obama Exploits a Compliant America

…is not in question. Plenty of ‘rights’ exist in dictatorships—to those who comply with the ruling authorities. U.S. Senator Rand Paul, one of the few Americans who appears to be awake on this issue, puts it well.  He’s stating what should be the obvious. Paul says the government should be using a specific warrant, not a general warrant, to get the data required to prevent terrorist attacks, arguing the Fourth Amendment prevents unreasonable search Continue reading

Edward Snowden: Traitor by What Definition?

…ent cannot—without due process of law, warranting a criminal investigation—simply take your phone and computer records, without your knowledge and consent. Edward Snowden exposed, at the very least, the Constitutional and due process injustices of the Patriot Act, the bill politicians in both parties use as rationalization for doing whatever they wish. At the very worst, Snowden has provided evidence suggesting that the U.S. government is violatin… Continue reading

Exercise your Memory! (DE Wave)

…. Whatever my perfectly good reason had been for taking those eleven steps simply vanished into thin air. I skulked back to my office and decided to turn my annoyance into something useful — like this week’s column. Everyone has endured the vanishing keys, the elusive password or that pesky oven that might – or might not – be on. Or the front door that might or might not be locked. What is it about our mental storage and retrieval system that can… Continue reading

Life and Death in America
