One Last Time: No Blue Wave

Posted on June 13, 2018 by Robert Ringer Comments (20)

I can’t understand what took conservative pundits and politicians so long to figure out that the 2018 Blue Wave is, and always has been, a myth.  I first wrote about this back on January 3rd of this year in an article titled “Spasms of a Dying Party.” Now, with everyone from Hannity to Pat Buchanan […]

The Power of Perspective

Posted on June 5, 2018 by Robert Ringer Comments (26)

I take nothing for granted.  The tragedies that monopolize our TV screens day in and day out — volcanic eruptions … gang violence … floods … school shootings … et al — constantly remind me of how blessed I am.  This daily barrage of depressing news also keeps me on my toes when it comes […]

Guaranteeing Kim Jong-un’s Safety

Posted on May 30, 2018 by Robert Ringer Comments (21)

One of the most poorly thought-out comments President Trump has made to date is when he guaranteed Kim Jong-un’s safety if a peace settlement is reached.  Good intentions, no doubt, but the reality is that it’s a guarantee he can’t make good on.  Here’s why: Let’s take a best-case scenario and assume a deal is […]

Taking Control of Your Desires

Posted on May 22, 2018 by Robert Ringer Comments (23)

A fundamental truth that I learned about desire from Harry Browne is that everyone’s desires are unlimited.  That’s not to say we all have the same desires, just that we have an infinite number of desires. Some of the more common desires include wealth, power, recognition, and, at the extreme end of the desire spectrum, […]

Status Consciousness, Your Mortal Enemy

Posted on May 15, 2018 by Robert Ringer Comments (34)

I recently ran into a casual acquaintance, Peter, in the lobby of a hotel where I was staying.  I hadn’t seen Peter in many years and almost didn’t recognize him. After shaking hands, I asked him what he’d been up to all these years, and his response reminded me of something the great Tom Wolfe […]

Why Something Instead of Nothing?

Posted on May 8, 2018 by Robert Ringer Comments (38)

I was more than just a bit interested in hearing what Mark Levin’s recent guest, David Berlinski, had to say on “Life, Liberty, and Levin.”  My interest stemmed from the fact that virtually everything Berlinski said aligns with my own thinking over the years.  Getting confirmation from someone whose knowledge dwarfs your own tends to […]

Objective Truth versus Relativism

Posted on May 1, 2018 by Robert Ringer Comments (30)

As the social civil wars in America continue to heat up, one wonders how both sides in these hotly contested debates can be so convinced they have objective truth on their side.  Actually, it raises the question of whether there really is such a thing as objective, or absolute, truth. To be absolute, a truth […]

Mankind: The Failed Experiment

Posted on April 26, 2018 by Robert Ringer Comments (31)

As I think about the havoc that has reigned throughout the world century after century, I am reminded of one of those ancient-astronaut books I read many years ago that set forth a fascinating theory. The author believed that munificent aliens from another galaxy visited the earth eons ago and created man.  After a long […]

No More Messing Around

Posted on April 20, 2018 by Robert Ringer Comments (38)

Expansion of the phony Russia-collusion investigation to include the Manafortization of Michael Cohen’s home and office is nothing short of a declaration of war.  Given that the DOJ/FBI police state has now become entrenched, it’s time for freedom advocates to be prepared to hang together or hang separately. I’ve always believed that God acts in […]

Turning Fantasy into Reality

Posted on April 10, 2018 by Robert Ringer Comments (29)

If there’s one thing I wish I had done more of in my life, it’s watch good movies.  Not just any movies, but good movies. Unfortunately, that eliminates the vast majority of junk films made over the past thirty or so years.  I’m not the least bit impressed listening to a bunch of young hotshot […]
