In 1979, the U.S. made a huge mistake. It tilted its support away from the Shah of Iran to whom they thought was a moderate religious cleric, the Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini. Wow! We were wrong. But instead of pointing fingers, it’s far more important to understand why. The fault was in what you might call …
Update on the Iran War
In my last post, I theorized that the initial strike on Iran wasn’t because Trump thought Iran wasn’t negotiating in good faith on the nuclear weapons issue, but it was because either Mossad or the CIA or both had firm intelligence that Ayatollah Khomenei was exposed, and there was a good opportunity to take him …
There’s A Plan for Regime Change
War absolutely sucks. No question about it. But if there were ever a regime that deserved to be bombed, it’s the Iranian mullahs who have no problems murdering thousands of their own citizens let alone the infidels in Israel and, if they could, the infidels in both Europe and the United States. Are you getting …
Update on Trump Versus Iran
If Trump weren’t so predictably inconsistent, all signs would be pointing towards the U.S. attacking Iran and reasonably soon.

This is part 1 of a two part article to hopefully explain what’s really going on there. From Abraham to Exodus …
The Pretti Shooting
Arghhhh! I was tiring of the political fighting going on in Minnesota, but can’t stay quiet in the sad goings on associated with the shooting death of Alex Pretti. For starters, everyone seems to be an instant expert based upon the few seconds of film associated with the shooting, with an almost 100 percent correlation …
The Expression Yourself Revolution
Revolution is a grossly overused concept these days. Half the products we hear about are “revolutionary.” Basically, the term has almost ceased to have meaning. There are, however, real life-altering revolutions that do happen, typically when we have an order of magnitude change. The easiest to understand are when travel went from 5 mph …
Understanding AI
Are you worried about AI? Pundits talk about how it is going to change our world like nothing before it, possibly putting millions of people out of work. If you’re an investor, the advice columns scream about jumping on the bandwagon to invest in AI companies while the opportunity is still ripe. This article is …
The Quest For God
The Most Important Truth – Part 1. The most important question of all time is does God exist? Ever since humans looked into the sky and wondered how our world got here, we’ve had a long-time belief in many variations of God. As a long time philosopher, here’s my multi-part take, stating with a fascinating …
