Are you thinking of going to Medical School? Take this into account first

A couple of weeks ago, there was a story in the Wall Street Journal entitled "Medical-School Test Gets a Revamp".  No kidding!  The first paragraph reads (sorry, no link, as this is behind the WSJ paywall): "The essay section is out and sociology is in, and test-takers will need to be as familiar with psychology …

Connections…Sport fans riot; Mob rule; and Liberalism

I was reading this weekend the story of what happened in Lexington, Kentucky, when the University of Kentucky basketball team, undefeated during the regular season, lost their Final Four match to Wisconsin.  There were riots in the streets, with college students tipping over cars and setting fires, to express their anger at their team's loss. …

I am Sad Today

It has been very disheartening this week, reading about all the good people whose lives and livelihoods have been under murderous assault, both in the USA and abroad.  In Kenya, many Christian students were murdered by ruthless  terrorists, at their school.   The death toll is nearly 150!  These students were studying, bothering no one. …

It is said that if the lawsuit currently before the Supreme Court (King vs Burwell) goes against the government, the entire structure of Obamacare will collapse.  Have you given this some thought?  The complete title of the act that is meant to destroy the world's best medical-care system was called the "Patient Protection and Affordable …

What Obama Hath Wrought-is there ANY part of the Federal Government that is NOT Corrupted?

Sigh...Have you noticed lately the increasing rate of government scandals coming to light?  I have given it much thought, and it seems to me that, since Obama and his minions took power, nearly every part of the huge (and expanding by leaps and bounds) federal government has been corrupted in some way by the Democrats, …

What the Op-ed Writers Don’t Get about Obama’s Economy

Last week, Michael Solon wrote an op-ed essay in the Wall Street Journal entitled "What Democrats and the CBO Don't Get".  He was talking about how the administration's actions relating to the economy are not leading to economic growth, which is the best way to increase federal revenues and improve conditions for Americans.  However, none …
