There are two radically different viewpoints about what happened in 2020. Which is the primary explanation? Let’s briefly outline each… Position #1: Some intelligent people have told me that they believe that the Dems won in 2020 honestly, because: a) they had better messaging, b) they did a better job at getting out the vote, c) they had a better candidate, etc. Position #2: My view […]
Recap: The three main elements of election voting are: The voter, The machines, and The process. All three need to be on the up-and-up to assure election integrity. One of the core election integrity debates is whether using electronic voting (machines, etc.) is a net asset or net liability? In researching this topic, I found it interesting how that key […]
Here is a super-brief outline of this VERY BIG deal – that will not be seen on mainstream media… Dr. Michael E. Mann is a well-known climate activist. e.g., he was the person who invented the hockey-stick climate graph — which intentionally conveys alarmism. Mark Steyn is a conservative, outspoken public speaker, writer, TV personality, etc. who has a […]

Mainstream media has continually conveyed that: 1) none of Trump’s lawsuits related to the 2020 election resulted in a determination that there was election fraud in 2020, and 2) Trump lost essentially all of the lawsuits related to the 2020 election. To evaluate the truth of these assertions, a detailed Report was done by independent experts. This analysis identified and summarized the […]
This is the second installment of a five part series on the upcoming 2024 U.S. elections. See here for Part 1. Those who dig into the election voting process will eventually come across the name: Edison Research. Who are they? Essentially what they do is act as a third-party, vote-reporting firm. Basically, they get ballot results from each […]
The upcoming elections have never been more important. Again. There are few things more important for us to apply Critical Thinking to than who we should elect as our next President. My take is that there are three main “P’s” that will make the difference: Policies, Politics, and Personality. Each one of these is a test case for […]

Let’s start the New Year by reviewing America’s Number One problem. Although it affects EVERYTHING — it is rarely discussed! Literally every day we are bombarded by non-sensical words and actions by many of our representatives, our government agencies, the news media, organizations, businesses, celebrities, etc., as well as family and friends! Is it possible that […]
Who is at Fault for the Transfer Portal Debacle: Colleges, or Athletes, or? Welcome to my first post in 2024. Hope the upcoming year is rewarding to you. I acknowledge I’m a fossil. I’m so old that I can remember when: 1) colleges took pride in having quality curriculums, and 2) a large factor in college athletes’ decision on […]
Climate Change proponents and real Science are often at odds. Periodically I’ll republish something I wrote prior to my Substack starting, that is currently relevant, In this case, a few years ago I was asked to write a commentary about the appropriateness of industrial wind energy for the Adirondack Park in upstate NY (the largest protected geographic […]
Last week I received an email from an editor of a national media outlet, asking for my comments on a Brown University Report regarding offshore wind energy. I found that this was put out by CDL self-described as: “The Climate and Development Lab is a student-faculty think tank informing a more just, equitable and effective climate change policy.” Note: […]
It may seem like an unusual time of year to discuss this, but I continue to get a LOT of requests for help from citizens fighting solar projects (several this month alone). Solar development is booming — not because it is a net societal benefit, but rather as it is currently politically favored. To build […]

Several appreciative readers have told me that my thought-provoking Substack commentaries here are a gift to them. They said that getting them to have a new perspective on the societal issues I cover (education, election integrity, energy matters, etc.) has been interesting and informative. In any case, it has inspired them to get more involved […]
