Flashback: ‘In that cause I am doing the very best I can’ (1960)

I'm the son of a Goldwater Republican. That's a story itself, but essentially the experience taught me to stand on principle -- damn the odds, damn the consequences. I continue to hold Barry Goldwater and his passionate defense of Liberty in the highest regard.

Day 300: The proper response

The Great State of Ohio has been crushed under the boot heel of ruthlessly useless Richard Michael DeWine for three hundred days now. Deb and I are well, and we’re as angry about this shit as every other Buckeye (with a brain) is. We continue to take care of ourselves, but...

Day 299: Secured

It’s Day 299 of 15 Days to Flatten the Curve and Day 59 of Ohio’s 21-day WuFlu Curfew. Deb and I are swell. The work week, so-called, ended well for us. With the familiar “wintry mix” headed our way yesterday, we...

Day 298: All on the same page

It’s the 298th day of a 15-day shutdown, and we’re wrapping up the second month of a three-week curfew. No kidding. Deb and I are perfectly fine. No kidding. Have you ever noticed that the popular media, in addition to covering the same stories in the same way, all tend to...

Day 297: Another bowl of goulash

This is Day 297 of the First Ohio Shutdown and Day 57 of Ohio’s 21-day WuFlu Curfew. Deb and I are fine today. Ernie began drawing our time and attention again yesterday. A friend and former customer of ours...

Day 296: Propaganda on parade

It’s Day 296 of DeWine’s audition for Biden and Day 56 of the curfew everyone ignores. Deb and I are ok. Honestly, I can’t remember another time when the air was so thick with wild theories

Day 295: We’re Number Two*

Today is the 295th day of “flattening the curve” (an imaginary task we were told would take 15 days), and it’s the 55th day of tucking grown-ass adults into bed by 10pm (authoritarian nonsense originally advertised to last 21 days). Deb and I are doin’ fine. If I were a fan of Alabama football right now...

Flashback: ‘We’ll see you on the other side’ (1968)

As expected this morning, Parler is down, its servers unplugged by provider Amazon Web Services. The social-media platform optimistically projects that it’ll return within a week. We’ll see. When NASA launched Apollo 8...

Day 294: ‘Wonderful little pockets’

It’s Day 294 of 15 Days to Flatten the Curve and Day 54 of Ohio’s 21-day WuFlu Curfew. Deb and I had a great weekend. Chuggin’ along. Ten-plus years before launching Ubi Libertas I had another blog, ultimately closing it down back in 2012. Its life spanned a couple of...

Flashback: ‘A very American thing to do’ (1989)

Two days, two flashbacks, two speeches by Ronald Reagan. They're the stuff of American rhetorical legend, and his 1989 farewell address — bookending 1964’s “A Time For Choosing,” which...
