After losing power for the entire weekend, we joked that we were doing it as the Founders did – no lights, no running water, no air conditioning – but who are we kidding? The Friday before the Fourth of July my lovely wife and I did something we almost never do: Went out for dinner… Continue reading America at 250, the heat was both literal and figurative

America at 250, why does progressive politics define the lives of so many of our fellow citizens, making them almost completely miserable?
As even Vox.com was honest enough to note, America in 1976 was in a far worse place than today, and yet Americans felt better about the country and the future. Before the results of the 2024 election were known on the evening of November 5, I encouraged everyone to remember their Billy Joel.
