Continuing my commitment to write a new op-ed piece each week of 2025 (or aspiring to anyway), news and commentary website American Thinker - a site I can't recommend nearly enough - has just published my latest.In 'It's Time to Cleans the White House Press Corps", arguments are laid out for why the gaggle of journalists assigned to cover the president and his affairs should be thoroughly pruned down. Not just because too many...

Some new writing this past week
I like to think that I'm getting my mojo back as a writer. This past week saw four articles of mine getting published on a couple of outlets. That's a bunch more than I'd previously been capable of writing. Maybe I'm finally getting adjusted to both bipolar disorder and the medication to treat it. Especially the meds. Can't escape feeling like they've sapped a lot of ability out of me these past several years.But for...

"Slouching Towards Fantasyland": My new article at American Thinker
American Thinker, a site I often go to for insight and commentary, this morning published my latest piece for them. This essay addresses the leftist fantasies about so-called "green energy" and eliminating emissions.From the article:And then there are other considerations about the fallout from the
failed fantasy. Which would you rather have in an emergency,
say, evacuating...

Mah Na Mah Na! New article at American Thinker
I might have broken whole new ground in op-ed writing by using the word "Pufnstuf". But anyhoo, American Thinker this morning has published a new article by Yours Truly. "And then they came for the Muppets..." delves into Disney's slapping an "offensive material" disclaimer on several episodes of The Muppet Show.A sample from the piece:These declaimers are micro-sermons...

New article at American Thinker: Disney's cancelling of Gina Carano
I have a new article up at American Thinker this morning. "Cancelling Gina Carano: Work Worthy of an Evil Empire" addresses what happened last week in regard to Disney firing one of the lead actors of its series The Mandalorian (image: Disney). Gina Carano made a post on social media that some allege was anti-Semitic and overly controversial. But was it really? ...

To the young lady who came to the blog from the American Thinker article and asked if I was taken...
Kindest miss,Good lady, you make me blush furiously!Sad to say, I am not taken. But I would never stop thanking God if he did bring into my life some wonderful lass to court and woo and come to be joined in matrimony with.Anyone wanting to inquire further can reach me by email at theknightshift@gmail.comWhat I'm looking for in a lady is not much: someone who loves God more than she would love me, won't mind that I'm a Star Wars...
New article at American Thinker: respect for a fraudulent president
American Thinker this morning published my latest article. "Must We Respect a Fraudulent President" says what it means and means what it says: in light of the significant amount of evidence that chicanery most foul took place during the November 3rd election, how can anyone in Joseph Biden's position claim to have a mandate to be the leader of the free world?Here's a clip:The matter of unjust measures is brought up at least nine times in the...

Look! Second article at American Thinker in 48 hours! Not kidding!
Just think: a few years later chunks of that wall were being sold at K-Mart.
Friends, I have a secret to tell. I've waited decades... decades... for the chance to use the word "perestroika" in a written piece. Not even during college and my senior history thesis - about the Russian space program and how it had tracked with that country's politics since...

New article at American Thinker: My six months at Amazon
The days after Thanksgiving once signaled training season for Christmas caroling. Recent years have instead heralded the shrieks of entire choruses of Maynard G. Krebs: “Work?!?”
The past few weeks have been no different and once again the squalls of disdain have almost invariably diffused from those tan arcologies of Internet commerce: the Amazon Fulfillment Centers.
Well,...

Chris addresses the Brett Kavanaugh confirmation and declares war against hate at Elon University... with his FIFTH article for American Thinker!
Hmmm... let's see...
This past week has seen the writing of my second-ever work of short story fiction (while stranded in a motel room along with Tammy the Pup during Hurricane Florence) after trying for decades to crack that art, work begun on a one-act play, finally started plotting a children's book(?!?). And now, it's article #5 written for American Thinker!
Has the...

New article at American Thinker: "The Pursuit of Happiness in the Trump Economy" PLUS: Photos of my knife-making father!
To those of you arriving at my blog today from American Thinker, greetings! And I have something to show y'all a bit further down.
Yup, my fourth article (so far) for American Thinker is published today. "The Pursuit of Happiness in the Trump Economy" is some musing about how the biggest payoff from the decreased taxes and rebounding manufacturing is that more...

Look! New article on American Thinker! Word you've never heard before within! Free toy inside!
Okay so truth be told, I lied about the free toy. Maybe I was driven to madness by the bowl of Lucky Charms that I am currently enjoying. Along with the orange juice and banana, everything that a growing boy... errrr, grown man(??) needs. Anyhoo...
I am very grateful and honored that American Thinker, a commentary site that I have long admired and respected,...

Got a new article up at American Thinker
"Frankenstein's Body Politic" is about something I've been pondering for some time: that the two major parties have each in their own way been self-destructing these past few years. Except in contrast to my prognostication four years ago, the Republicans have avoided that fate (for now), while the Democratic Party is coming apart in drastic fashion.
An excerpt from the...

My new op-ed piece is up at American Thinker (and about Star Wars and Kelly Marie Tran...)
The last time I wrote an op-ed for publishing other than on my own blog was more than ten years ago. Certainly hasn't been for lack of wanting to. This is a kind of writing that I first attempted on the cusp of my senior year of high school and it's a craft I devoted myself to developing further in college and beyond. Then all of the general wackiness of...
