Op-Ed

My Op-Ed ran today in the Moscow-Pullman Daily News.  This is a response to Steve Simasko (on Ivermectin) and Nick Gier (on destroying the world).  I want to thank Steve Simasko for taking the time to write a thoughtful response to my Op-Ed on ivermectin, and I want to respond to some of his observations. […]

My Op-Ed on my personal experience with ivermectin ran in today’s Moscow-Pullman Daily News.  I want to respond to Wade Hoiland’s criticisms of my last column. First, I haven’t voted for a Republican presidential candidate in over 20 years, and I still regret the last time I did. Just because I criticize the current Democrat

My Op-Ed ran in today’s Moscow-Pullman Daily News. Enjoy!  While SARS-CoV-2 is on the same historical trajectory as previous viruses (becoming less lethal, more contagious, and endemic), there are protests around the world against the escalating Covid accoutrements: mandatory vaccines, ever-multiplying boosters, N95 masks, vaccine passports, etc. A January 2022 Rasmussen survey of registered American

My Op-Ed ran in today’s Moscow-Pullman Daily News.  Omicron is a game changer. It is 70x more contagious than Delta, the vaccines cannot stop people from getting it, and it has a fatality rate similar to the flu. It’s time to accept that Covid is now endemic like the flu, and to move on.  Two

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
