Peter Zeihan recently released one of his daily videos entitled Delusional Biden and Demented Trump. He fairly accurately captured what many of us are concerned about – “this is the best we can do?” The electorate is divided into three groups (at least) – people like Vivek Ramaswamy and MAGA Republicans who are going to…

As the entire world knows by now, Donald Trump was convicted of 34 felony counts this week. The internet is blowing up as both sides of the political divide are attempting to leverage this event into political advantage. More Spock attempts to look at things rationally rather than emotionally, but I’ll admit that one human…

I recently returned from a trip to the Netherlands. When traveling around that country, one can’t help but notice the wind turbines. They are everywhere! I don’t believe there was ever a time when I couldn’t see a cluster of them on the horizon. A quick Google search revealed that there are 2,144 turbines on…

In 409 AD, the Visigoth King Alaric began a siege that would lead to the sacking of Rome. It was the first time in 800 years that Rome had been occupied by a foreign army. Alaric didn’t stay long, choosing to move further south into Italy to continue sacking and pillaging. But another Germanic tribe,…

In 1517 Martin Luther published his 95 Theses in Wittenberg, Germany, criticizing what he considered to be corrupt practices of the Roman Catholic Church. This event would cause ripple effects in Western Civilization that are still being felt today. From the middle of the 16th century through World War I, the European royal lineages were…

The whole idea behind More Spock is to minimize our emotional responses to the issues of the day and attempt to analyze them using logic and reason. But as a human, I couldn’t help but be sad on Wednesday, March 6, 2024. On that day, our choices for the 2024 presidential election were pretty much…

I’ve become a fan of Still Standing!, a Canadian television show where comedian Jonny Harris visits small Canadian towns and villages that often experienced a boom in the past but are struggling in the present. The boom might have been related to timber, mining, or simply a strategic stop on a railroad. Harris does a…
Continue ReadingIs Donald Trump a Fascist?
One of the favorite narratives of left leaning media personalities is that Donald Trump is a Nazi Fascist determined to make himself America’s dictator-for-life. He does make it easy for them to paint this picture of him. Language he uses to describe illegal immigrants is not unlike Hitler’s language describing non-Aryans, especially Jews. He enjoys…

Whenever a sports team becomes dominant in its league, other teams seek to figure out the secret sauce and replicate it. When the San Francisco 49ers began to execute what they called the “West Coast offense” in the 1980s and went on to win three Super Bowl championships that decade, we began to see multiple…

I don’t care and I don’t understand why so many people do.
