Chuck Schumer’s Revealing Display of Authoritarianism in a NYC Restaurant

…snatching defeat from the jaws of victory again, and again and yet again. (Latest example: Refusing to propose an outright repeal of Obamacare in Congress, as promised for the last 7 years). The rage and intolerance stems from the ideology of leftism itself. Think about what leftism is: force and compulsion. I won’t deny that the right is guilty of the same. But the right is more mixed. It’s a combination of liberty and compelling people to do thi… Continue reading

It’s the Literal End of America … So Let’s Run for President !!

…, you are willfully blind. After a news cycle or two, it will be like this latest cluster of 32 or 79 indictments of Trump never happened. Until the next series of indictments come out. Most assume because he’s a former President and still has a highly sizable following, it can’t happen. “Trump won’t be prosecuted and he won’t be imprisoned.” It’s delusional. I now fully understand and completely can see, feel and comprehend how Nazi Germany happe… Continue reading

Obama’s Manning Decision: Still Doubt That He Detests America?

…. It’s not only what Manning did; it’s also the precedent it sets. Obama’s latest destructive move sends a message to the military and the world that if you’re politically correct — a status presumably brought about by having sex change surgery — then you’re somehow immune from the obligation to side with the United States when you’re a member of the United States military. How fascinating. On the one hand, we’re told that Donald Trump’s presidenc… Continue reading

How So Many Millennials Became Snowflakes

…at least to some degree, in a way that the vast majority of people in the latest generation have not been expected to do, in part due to the successes of economic growth and prosperity that largely continued in America until the last decade or so. I’m not blaming the problem on capitalism, either. I’m blaming it on most parents’ inability to cope with their own material success along with the deliberate destruction of individualism and self-relia… Continue reading

Making Peace With Bullies Never Ends Well

…rategic Strait of Hormuz in retaliation for tougher Western sanctions. The latest military maneuvers got under way following stern warnings by Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, about any possible U.S. or Israeli attacks against Tehran’s nuclear facilities. It also comes after Western forces boosted their naval presence in the Gulf led by the American aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln.” This is the result of a foreign policy which a… Continue reading

And the Republican Solution is … What, Exactly?

…ows it. What does this tell you? And how hopeful should we be that Obama’s latest government spending bill is going to “stimulate” anything other than — he hopes — his all-important reelection effort? Most Americans probably understand that Obama’s “jobs plan” has nothing new in it. What nobody is talking about, and this includes Republicans campaigning for President, is what the alternative should be. Logically, there can only be one alternative:… Continue reading

The Audacity of Socialism

…’s continued growth is not inevitable, as Barack implies, not only in this latest pep talk, but in all of his policies. He rammed ObamaCare through Congress on the premise that the American wealth machine would keep on producing, no matter how much you burdened it. He pushes for tax increases on the premise that although the American economy has stopped growing under the current tax rates, it will somehow start growing again under double or triple… Continue reading

Why People Get Fixated on Social Media

…nge of addictive or unhealthy behaviors. Social media fixation is only the latest. Being comfortable with yourself means being comfortable with your own mind — indeed, with your very soul. Once you’re at peace with yourself, there’s no need to run. Social media has its place just like anything else, and there’s no need to fixate on what “the pack” is doing, because it only matters so much. Follow Dr. Hurd on Facebook. Search under “Michael Hurd” (… Continue reading

A Healthy Outlook: Part of Good Parenting (DE Coast Press)

…must know that their minds and thinking skills, not cool backpacks and the latest iPhone, are the most crucial components of self-esteem and happiness. Even the best teachers can’t completely tackle this responsibility. In fact, teachers, parents and mental health providers can actually undercut a child’s intellectual needs by labeling him and then walking on eggshells around him, providing the child with the perfect excuse to dodge any responsibi… Continue reading

The Generation that Isn’t Growing Up: What’s Going On?

…ut following through on anything other than a video game or looking at the latest pictures on Instagram. You get what you pay for, right? The tragic thing is that taxpayers are pouring billions of dollars a year into public education and what they’re getting for it is an uncertain, confused and oddly overconfident generation that votes for socialism (an ends without means ideology) without even knowing what it really is. It doesn’t bode well for t… Continue reading
