In Praise Of Frugality

Humans Have A Remarkable Ability To Find The Wrong Path In All Forms Of Endeavor, And The Handling Of Money And The Accumulation Of Property Are No Exceptions. Perhaps It Is Because We Assess The Value Of Others And Ourselves Based Not On Our Worth As Humans, But On The Amount Of Money We Earn Or Property We Have Accumulated Falsely Equating Wealth With Worth.
There Is A Correct Attitude Toward Money, And That Is To Live Within One’s Means. The Investor And Wildlife Enthusiast D.W. Barker Says, “It’s Not How Much You Make, It’s How Much You Save.”

Medical Marijuana Pitfalls (Op-Ed)

I Am Not Opposed To Legal Pot. Individual Freedom Is In Our Heritage. However, I Vehemently Oppose The Down Sides. I Have Witnessed Many Post-Legalization Issues, Some Listed Here. Lack Of Concentration. Overdoses From Edibles. Distractibility While Driving. The “Spicoli Effect” On Teen Learning. Black Markets. Illegal Grow Operations. Gang Infestation. Influx Of Competing Drug Cartels And Crime. Juvenile Accessibility. Homelessness. Profiteering. Greed By Local “Leaders” Looking To Make A Buck. Gateway Implications For Folks With Low Impulse Control Or Addictive Personality Disorders. Vaping In Schools. Unfortunately, Like Legal Booze, The Downsides Outweigh The Benefits. Although, I Still Support Personal Choice If It Doesn’t Harm Or Endanger Others.

Encouragement, 2 Rainbows, Elections & “Little” Jimmy Dickens – Brandon’s Brain

It Can Be A Drag Reporting The Truth About Tennessee Culture And Politics. Hey, I Don’t Make The News. I Just Report It. Still, Being In Conflict, Unceasing Conflict – Can Wear You Out. When You Spend Your Time Telling The Truth About Things While People In Power Would Rather Not Have Anyone Know, It’s Conflict. Very Often, I See Only Small Glimmers Of Hope For Liberty, Freedom And Conservatism In Our State. It Seems Like The Bureaucrats, Left-Leaning Corporations And RINOs Will Have Their Way.

The Mason-Dixon Line, Past And Present

This symbolic parallel has been a weapon by the North to cast aspersions against Southern culture, religious values and political ideologies. Forever and a day it has been a mythical barricade to “shelter pseudo Northern sophistication from crude Southern contamination.”
This enigmatical line continues to serve as a political and cultural boundary that defines differences in socio-political ideology between the North and South. Without discrimination towards race, class or gender, today it defines the regional strengths of the South; its culture, religious dogma, law and order, family values, respect for guns and marriage, its conservative politics and its elite patriotism.

In 2021, Our Lives Dramatically Changed. The Deliberate Manipulation By The Media And “Experts” Across The Globe To Promote Fear And The Suppression Of Dissenting Opinions From The Approved Narrative, Can Be Clearly Seen For What It Is – The Fog Of War. Although It May Have Taken Two Years, The Momentum Is Swinging. Slowly You See Many People From All Walks Of Life, Awakening From The “Fog” They Have Been In All This Time. From The Media Backtracking And The Parents Recognizing The Programming Of Their Children In Government Run Schools, The Yearning Of The Return To Conservative Principles Is Palpable.

A New Conservatism Must Emerge

America is currently engaged in a regime-level struggle that will preserve or destroy the purpose that has defined it. On one side stands the American way of life, characterized by republican self-government and the habits of mind and character necessary to sustain it. On the other side stands identity politics, which demands the perpetual punishment and humiliation of so-called oppressor groups combined with the unquestioned rule of the so-called marginalized. These two regimes are in conflict and cannot coexist.
