‘Fat Shaming’ is the New Hate Crime

…a bad thing, and it can actually be a good thing. On the premises of this latest propaganda masquerading as “research,” it’s just a matter of time before fat shaming morphs from yet another politically incorrect practice into the new hate crime. I can see it now. Doctors and nurses hauled off by the authorities for engaging in fat shaming. Neither Ayn Rand nor George Orwell could ever have come up with this insanity in what (during their day) was… Continue reading

Choosing a Therapist in Ten Easy Steps (DE Coast Press)

…w sessions for you to establish if this is someone with whom you can speak openly and comfortably. Look for someone who wants to understand your strengths, and who wants you to know your strong points and potential. I heard recently about a therapist who made the client feel she was on the witness stand, being interrogated to find out what was wrong with her. No thought or comment made by the patient was trusted. Behind the therapist’s every word… Continue reading

The Medicalization of Emotions Has a Price

…help you? Surely, if it’s needed. But find someone to help you at this task. Don’t find someone to “help” you merely look at yourself as a weak, helpless creature subject to whatever disease of emotions you happened to inherit. That’s not really the way it is.   Be sure to “friend” Dr. Hurd on Facebook. Search under “Michael Hurd” (Rehoboth Beach DE).

So You Thought It Couldn’t Get Worse than Biden?

…strategies. Posting cost and pricing plans publicly is a fantastic way for companies to collude to keep prices higher — all facilitated by the government. Kamala calls herself “progressive.” But her economic plan is part Stalin, part Germany’s Weimar republic and part Richard Nixon. It’s so easy for a propped up whore-puppet like Kamala to stand up and say, “I’ll pay for it.” As the meme on social media says, “There is no such thing as ‘government… Continue reading

Kamala’s The Borg from Star Trek

…you would create shortages. High prices are a symptom of low supply. In a free market, high prices are temporary because inevitably profit-seekers will get the supply increased and that will bring down costs. Millions will mindlessly say or think, “Thank you Kamala. Prices were too high. You made them lower. Now all is well.” The idiots have no concept what this will do to the market, and how this will limit their ability even to get food. Why in… Continue reading

The Price of Obama’s Exploitation of Race

…ves as a useful tool. The shot and crippled police officers are simply his latest victims, along with the people of the town who could benefit from a functioning police force. Obama is nothing more than a glorified and exploitative shakedown artist, sitting in the Oval Office with little or no accountability for anything he says or does. He uses race as an issue when it suits him. This is what happens when citizens of a free republic stop paying a… Continue reading

The Bidenistas’ War Against the American Republic Continues

…oil companies and businesses for being “greedy” andprice gouging.” What comes next? Price controls. Government forces prices to go lower than the law of supply and demand dictate. Price controls mean shortages. This means empty shelves and gas lines. Price controls are coming next. Bidenistas are already screaming price gouging. You’re about to see Communism in action, and shortages that make the present seem like nothing after executive orders… Continue reading

Restaurant Impossible’s Robert Irvine a Great Cognitive Therapist

…contradictory emotions, and then to start acting in a way consistent with reality and common sense. Whether it ultimately works over time is of course up to the particular owner. But Irvine, like any good cognitive psychotherapist, grasps that thinking (and subsequent follow-through with action) is the only way to resolve any human problem. Irvine, with his muscular stature, presents an almost comic-book hero image of the good tough guy. However,… Continue reading

The Pope and Environmentalism: A Marriage Made in Hell

…or the so-called rational intelligence behind “climate science,” let’s get real. Environmentalism is nothing more than religion masking as science. Under its highly questionable scientific guidance, we fixate on the real and alleged disadvantages of fossil fuel use, we treat theories as if they’re already proven facts, and we demean or otherwise punish people who dissent. We label people who even raise questions about the very scientific premise o… Continue reading
