Op-Ed

Here is my Op-Ed on the collapse of the Covid narrative. The wheels are finally coming off the bus.  This ran in today’s Moscow-Pullman Daily News.  As long-time readers know, I have been highly critical of the government’s handling of the Covid outbreak since the beginning. In April 2020, I argued for a targeted approach to […]

In this Op-Ed, I compare the disastrous rollout of the swine flu vaccine in 1976 to the Covid vaccine today.  In today’s Moscow-Pullman Daily News:  Doug Call’s response to my last Op-Ed completely missed the mark. There are no anti-vaxxers in the military. Zero. As I mentioned in that Op-ed, the military has a set

I examine the parallels between the rollout of the Anthrax vaccine in 1998 and the Covid vaccine in 2021.  I’ve seen both first hand.  This ran in today’s Moscow-Pullman Daily News.  20 years ago, I retired from the US Navy. In those final years of serving on active duty, there was also an experimental vaccine

My Op-Ed on the Kyle Rittenhouse trial results ran in today’s Moscow-Pullman Daily News.  Last month, I discussed examples of the legacy media covering to promote the progressives’ metanarrative. The most recent example of their propping up the progressive agenda is their reporting of the Kyle Rittenhouse debacle. This case should never have gone to

My Op-Ed on how to avert a civil war ran in today’s Moscow-Pullman Daily News.  The University of Virginia’s Center for Politics recently conducted a poll to explore the differences between 2020 Trump voters and Biden voters. Director Larry J. Sabato says that “the divide between Trump and Biden voters is deep, wide, and dangerous.

My Op-Ed on the downfall of the legacy media ran in today’s Moscow-Pullman Daily News.  Trust in the legacy media is plummeting. According to a recent Gallup poll, only 36% of Americans said they had a great deal or a fair amount of trust and confidence in the mass media to report the news fully, accurately,

My Op-Ed on natural immunity ran this morning in the Moscow-Pullman Daily News.  I want to revisit President Biden’s unconstitutional Covid vaccine mandate. Just as with the flu shot, the choice to get the Covid vaccine belongs to the individual. I am not universally “pro-vaccine” or “anti-vaccine”. I am merely stating that I am pro-freedom;

My Op-Ed on the failure of higher education to compete with Vo-Tech ran in today’s Moscow-Pullman Daily News. For decades, demographers have warned about declining birth rates and the impending education enrollment cliff. In the 2020-2021 academic year, U.S. colleges and universities had 1.5 million fewer students compared to five years ago, and that’s not strictly

My Op-ed ran in today’s Moscow-Pullman Daily News. John Adams wrote “Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious [Christian] people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.” It is an exercise in futility to try and cajole democracy onto Islamic fundamentalists who prefer a Sharia utopia. I am against

My Op-Ed on the Moscow School District ran in today’s Moscow-Pullman Daily News. Enjoy!  I appreciate Moscow School District (MSD) superintendent Greg Bailey taking the time to respond to my two previous Op-Eds. In order to effectively respond to him, I spent last month reading 30 years of news reports in the Moscow-Pullman Daily News

My Op-ed ran in today’s Moscow-Pullman Daily News.  This Op-ed is personal for me. I put myself through college working at two nursing homes. I still remember the names of some patients, having become friends with them and their families during those years. Bear with me as I revisit the early coronavirus timeline and the

My Op-Ed ran in today’s Moscow-Pullman Daily News. This is the expanded version (the Daily News limits Op-Ed’s to 650 words). In my last four Op-ed’s, I discussed Emsi’s free eBook, “The Demographic Drought” (https://bit.ly/3b7teIE) and the effects of the collapsing birthrate. “The Demographic Drought” discusses the sansdemic that is upon us. Sans meaning without; demic meaning people. Due to the pandemic,

This is part 2 of my Op-ed concerning the Moscow School District. It ran in today’s Moscow-Pullman Daily News.  Two weeks ago, I mentioned the effect that the dropping birthrate is having on the Moscow School District (MSD). Emsi’s eBook, “The Demographic Drought” (https://bit.ly/3b7teIE) discussed the effect of fewer children enrolled in schools and universities. As

My Op-ed ran in today’s Moscow-Pullman Daily News.  A March Gallup poll asked Americans their opinions on various COVID-related topics. One question was “what are the chances somebody with Covid must be hospitalized?” The correct answer is between 1-5%. The self-proclaimed “follow the science” Democrat crowd performed significantly worse than Republicans, with 70% giving answers wildly off the mark.

I’m taking a break from COVID posts to discuss the demographic earthquake. The following ran in today’s Moscow-Pullman Daily News: I have been fascinated with demographics ever since reading Paul Ehrlich’s 1968 “The Population Bomb” in high school. In my Feb 2020 Op-ed, I discussed the enrollment cliff facing higher education. There was a precipitous drop in the

My Op-ed ran in this morning’s copy of the Moscow-Pullman Daily News:  I appreciate Doug Call (His View, 21 Apr 2021) responding to my Op-ed. I also appreciate the Daily News for allowing me to voice what I’m convinced will be the vindicated position in the long run. Because the media megaphone is controlled by

My Op-ed ran in today’s Moscow-Pullman Daily News:  Two weeks ago, I wrote about the demise of the media acting in their role as the Fourth Estate. Right on the heels of that article, NBC Nightly News anchor Lester Holt was awarded the Edward R. Murrow Lifetime Achievement Award in Journalism from Washington State University. Making my point

Back in the 1960s, economist Arthur Okun promulgated Okun’s Law, that for every 1% increase in the unemployment rate, gross domestic product (GDP) will be about 2% lower than it would have been. Okun also created the “Misery Index” which is still used today as a simple measure of the well-being of the public. Because

My OpEd ran in today’s Moscow-Pullman Daily News.  Echelon Insights, an opinion research and analytics firm, released their February Verified Voter Omnibus Survey that demonstrates how completely differently Democrats and Republicans view the world and where the future of the culture war is going. Echelon asked the following question of Democrats and Democrat-leaning voters: “how concerned are
