Half Canadian: I need to begin by mentioning that my mother was Canadian. She was a missionary in Japan after the Second World War, and there she met my dad, an American naval officer, in the course of his involvement in the Korean War. How they got together is quite the story, but let us …
An Election With More Rigging Than a Five-Masted Clipper Ship
Introduction I have written on this topic before, but the need continues. This is because presidential elections are not one-off historical events, like the Norman Conquest or the invention of the printing press.

A Biblical Defense of Fake Vaccine IDs
Introduction: It is certainly tempting to simply make the case by saying that a fake pandemic should have fake papers to accompany it, but that would be too easy, far too glib. I already have severe critics who struggle with their tendency to be censorious, and that would frankly not help. So I won’t start …
A Gallimaufry of Random Observations
Inspired by the spirit of our times, I have decided to throw together a gallimaufry of random observations.
