Will Expats Decide the Election?

October 21, 2020 By David Franke

Both sides have their favorite disaster scenarios for the upcoming election.  Let me add a new one.  It’s far-fetched, I know, but in this unusual day and age, who knows…. In a close election, American expatriates—citizens living abroad—could conceivably make the difference.  There are more of them than you might think, particularly in Canada but […]

Good Satire is Hard to Find

October 20, 2020 By David Franke

If you’re like me, you stopped watching the “comedy” shows on TV long ago.  They are barely disguised leftist political and ideological propaganda in our politicized and polarized age. And if you’re like me, you sorely need some good laughs as the election approaches.  I have a suggestion for you. I think that really good […]

My Fearless Election Prediction

October 19, 2020 By David Franke

After the 2016 election made such fools of the pollsters, even Democrats are afraid to make firm predictions this year.  The “mainstream” media are nothing but propaganda conduits for them, and the polls continue to be nothing but propaganda conduits for them, still The Atlantic quotes as stalwart a Democrat as Rep. Debbie Dingell saying: […]

A Modest Proposal for the Presidential/VP Debates

October 8, 2020 By David Franke

I watched about 15 minutes of the vice presidential debate—about the same amount of time I spent watching the first presidential debate.  I cannot stand more.  I don’t have heart problems or high blood pressure, but I might if I watched an entire debate. They just don’t make any sense.  Their only benefit is to […]

Lockdown-Weary? Come to South Dakota!

October 6, 2020 By David Franke

In Custer, SD. I had had it with my state’s liberal Democrat governor and his Covid-19 lockdown edicts, so I headed for a much-needed vacation in South Dakota.  Now that I’ve been here a few days, I invite you to join me.  Freedom is still valued here in the heart of the Heartland! Kristi Noem […]

‘Dracula has come to America’

October 1, 2020 By David Franke

Originally posted October 29, 2020. The belief that face masks will protect you from COVID-19 is based on superstition, not science. I have been perplexed by the prevalence of face masks in my community, being familiar with the medical and scientific literature showing that they are ineffective—and perhaps counterproductive—as a tool in protecting against the […]

The Medical and Scientific Evidence Against Face Masks

October 1, 2020 By David Franke

Originally posted October 29, 2020. In my previous article, ‘Dracula Has Come to America,’ I argued that the belief face masks will protect you from COVID-19 is based on superstition, not science.  This companion article presents the evidence that led me to that controversial position. When I delved into the medical and scientific literature, I […]

Safe Places in the Pandemic: How Does Your State Rank?

September 22, 2020 By David Franke

Covid-19 is no respecter of ideology—it’s more interested in your immune system.  Geography is important, but what we’re really talking about there is population density, which is a very important demographic factor.  You would do well to take this into consideration when selecting your Safe Place. How does your present state rank in regard to […]

Portland’s 100-Plus Days of Riots and Violence

September 10, 2020 By David Franke

This is what living in a Democrat-controlled big city is like In normal times and under normal circumstances, Portland, Oregon—the “City of Roses”—is an idyllic place to live.  It has hilly terrain with beautiful neighborhoods and suburbs, but is not as expensive as San Francisco or as rainy as Seattle.  And you’re within easy reach […]

The Civil War Inside the Democratic Party

September 4, 2020 By David Franke

The mainstream media (MSM), ever loyal to the Democratic Party and the Left, magnifies every possible fissure in the Trump ranks.  Any assistant dogcatcher in the GOP bureaucracy who breaks loose and supports Biden-Harris is hailed as the latest proof that, for all intents and purposes, the campaign is over, with Trump vanquished.  The only […]
