Russia has invaded Ukraine and I can't help but ask: is the principle of mutually assured destruction still a valid working theory when one of the nuclear powers is run by someone who has seemingly gone mad. Music from Uppbeat (free for Creators!): https://uppbeat.io/t/cory-alstad/drift

What do my ski clothes have to do with the Freedom Convoy 2022 in Canada? The question comes from an examination of safety and security versus diminishing returns on providing that safety and security.

I’m a little late for getting a Christmas message out, but as I ponder the coming New Year, I can’t help but think about how important it is to return to the teachings of Jesus Christ to help heal our world. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Architecture can be corrupted, but it is not as easy as some other professional endeavors as ultimately, a building must be structurally sound, it must stand up. Laws of Physics govern truth in Architecture. What causes people to depart from the truth? How can we stay closer to the truth? Special credit to Dennis Regan's comedy special on DryBar. If you haven't watched it, it is really funny: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6YkNEIiy2W8&t=433s Music by http://www.bensound.com

Seems everyone is saying F#$@ Joe Biden these days. Did he inadvertently cause a massive infectious case of Tourette’s Syndrome? Or does political power corrupt people, and Joe Biden has about 50 years of being corrupted by power? Either way, government is a necessary evil, so we need to keep it as limited as possible so it can only do the things it must do and nothing more.

Governmental leaders throughout the world have betrayed the public trust. Institutions all over are failing to live up to their mission statements. What are we the people to do?

When Donald Trump used to talk about the "Deep State" it was easy to wave it off as conspiracy theories of a crack-pot. But what is the deep state? Is it real? Well, technically, it is real. Bureaucracy is the deep state. In every level of government, the staff, or bureaucrats, largely control the direction of government because they are the ones always there.

Building permits are a form of police powers by local governments to help protect the health, safety, and welfare of the public. But the Federal government is client and police, thus, no check on their power prevents abuse of the contractors who work for them. Similarly, Biden's unconstitutional executive order to mandate vaccines is the executive branch legislating, thereby usurping power from the Congress. Checks and balances are an important part of the Constitution for a reason. Music by www.bensound.com
