Correct Me If I’m Wrong

My “Common Sense” Gun Control Actions by Andy Joppa   There’s a “bipartisan” group of senators meeting about new firearm laws, proposals that again are being debated and discussed even before the full story of how the Uvalde shooting unfolded and what, if anything, could be done at the federal level to prevent or reduce the chances of such shootings taking …

Protection for Persecuted American Patriots by Andy Joppa   We all know the dark and sordid history of sanctuary states, counties, and cities…all being in Leftist strongholds. These areas have prevented legal intervention and deportation activities by ICE. By so doing, this has amplified the number of law breakers willing to invade our country, as sanctuary guarantees their status once they …

Universal Cures for Specific Problems by Andy Joppa   What is a, “Universal cure for a specific problem?”  As I define it, this is a situation in which a problem has been identified, or perceived, and the “cure” that is offered is to eliminate the entire class in which this problem occurs as a method to end the actions of …

Hidden Threats in The Second Amendment by Andy Joppa   I am not a “gun person.”  Though I’ve been in the military, had my fair share exposure to the M-16 in Vietnam, and been thoroughly trained for gun safety, I’m not one that has built a life style around guns…I don’t fault those that have…but that’s not me. Having said that, …

A Discussion Whose Time has Come by Andy Joppa   “Any political agenda and organization which doesn’t begin with personal responsibility is just half the argument. It’s just not going to succeed.” Peter Coyote   My wife and I had a pet Gouldian Finch for several years. They are one of the most colorful and beautiful birds in all of nature. …

“Death by Idiocy” by Andy Joppa   “A nation whose institutions are dominated by rampant idiocy cannot survive…That is the only real problem facing America. All others are derivatives of that idiocy.” -Joppa   In the fairly recent past “idiocy” was in short supply in America…although, even then, it far exceeded demand.  Idiocy, of course, occurred, but it would be …

  “Peace Criminals” by Andy Joppa   “Circumstantial evidence is a very tricky thing. It may seem to point very straight to one thing, but if you shift your own point of view a little, you may find it pointing in an equally uncompromising manner to something entirely different” ― Arthur Conan Doyle   There is an increasing cacophony about …

Russia’s Mask Against the Western “Virus” by Andy Joppa   I’ll start this essay with the obligatory condemnation of Vladimir Putin. “He’s a thug” …OK, I got that out of the way.   We are not allowed to offer any other thought without that point being made. Anything offering explanatory or mitigating statements makes you an agent of Putin…even if …

The Fatal American Error by Andy Joppa   (Note: One of the rules of my writing life is to never write and publish when I’m angry…really angry. Today, I will violate that rule because this topic deserves my unrestrained, and angry, commitment.)   Quite simply, so you don’t have to read any further unless you choose, what many Americans get …

America 2022; “1984” or “Brave New World”? by Andy Joppa   Below is an extract from the foreword of Neil Postman’s book, “Amusing Ourselves to Death” (Published in 1985).  Postman compared the futuristic projections of Aldous Huxley’s “Brave New World” to George Orwell’s, “1984”.  His conclusion in 1985 was that Huxley was proving to be more accurate.  I don’t believe Postman would …
