We are not in a Pandemic

Reprinted with permission of the Idaho Freedom Foundation I feel like I have been under house arrest for the past 10 months, and for what?

The article below my article was the headline in today’s Idaho Statesman. It was taken down at 12:00pm. Can you guess why? Economics is the study of the allocation of scarce resources that have alternative uses. Today in our country we are seeing the various forms of resource allocation being played out as the lines […]

The Great Covid Caper

While I don’t believe we are heading for what Aldous Huxley described in his book “Brave New World”, I do believe that if Joe Biden is installed as the 46th president of these United States, we will see the beginning of the end when it comes to our constitutional freedoms. We saw the beginnings of […]

The Pandemic and Priorities

No matter what the project—a business venture, a scientific experiment, government funding of grants or infrastructure, or one’s own family, it is always wise to take a deep breath and look at what our original goals were, and to see if we are marching toward those goals, see what changes need to be made—adopt and […]

A Great Reset IS Needed

Standard of Care / Standard of Practice

As a young child growing up in Philadelphia, I early on became interested in the lives of our Founding Fathers. My curiosity continued and when I was a young surgical resident I was given as a gift a book entitled PHILIDELPHIA MEDICA.

Public Policy should be based on Facts not Intuition or Emotion
