A brief rant on P.C. and its oft traveling companion, our culture of apology, and on situational ethics. Political correctness is a particularly insidious and ravenous cancer of the intellect. It has done more harm to all aspects of our society and our lives than any despot could have. Think horizontally and vertically of the devastating effects of P.C. on every aspect of our lives. From ordinary freedom of expression to the absurd: science and...

Success defies a universal definition. It is a complex paradigm. It is always defined both qualitatively and quantitatively. It is unique to individuals, people, groups of people, and populations. Regrettably, success or lack of it, is often dictated by necessity rather than choice. On a macro basis, definitions of success differ widely, based on a variety of factors: societal, station and chronology in life, ethnicities, economics,...

Two months ago, I was introduced to a wickedly smart, uber-cool, wonderfully articulate, super-successful podcaster (top 2.5% globally!!) and top-tier media brain. She also makes hyper-expensive stilettos paired with off-the-rack sweats look really good. It is a joy to chat away for hours with Denise Griffitts. She is a great introduction by another super-slick-in-all-ways-and-my-PR-guiding-light-and-conscience-lady, Devon Blaine. Hmm....

I always have and will always capitalize the word Holocaust. To not do so, would be an intellectual and moral failure. I grew up with the Holocaust, the German one, front-and-center in my then-recent history, and, consequently, upbringing and education. Both my parents were survivors of the camps. Very few of their extended families survived. They survived but never entirely overcame the scars. To this writing, I have not been able to explain...

A serious admonition, and a challenging aspiration. Also guiding principles in life, by your humble scribe, Steve Manning.      You can perish in the flames generated by the heat of your own passions. And, yet ...      A Life Without Passion Is Not A Life Worth Living. Now, to the perennial New Year’s dumb-as-owl-poop resolutions. This upcoming calendar-page-flip, for very few of you paper rather than digital, will bring about certain,...

How uneducated, limited, and stupid can you be? An astounding 55% of college students have zero clue what Socialism is. Yet, over 50% assert that Socialism is preferred to the dastardly capitalism of the US. 90% of college professors who assert to be liberal, love Socialism. Alas... The privilege of the worst disease ever beset on heretofore “higher education”: tenure! Just as another astounding aside, 57% of liberal identifying students...

The one Biden said last week that he fixed in April... I opine the Biden regime needs to get out a bit more. See “stuff” for themselves. I further opine that all those “reports” read by Biden and crew, those the regime foolishly parrots AND alarmingly relies on, need at least a minimal edit by an average college junior econ. major. Wondering: does anybody know who the low-ranked pukes are who write that balderdash? We know who does not read...

Not so many years ago, AT&T along with GM and very few other of the behemoths were the most frequently taught models of corporate governance in many/most top MBA programs in the country. AT&T served millions of businesses in what was then their core telephone business. An AT&T customer, my company’s international business chewed up a fair bit of telephone dollars; a significant expenditure for us. In the grand scheme of AT&T’s...

Yo, COVID virus! Got a minute? Mind if I remove my 17¢ life-saving blue paper mask so that I can better “see” you and “hear” you? Oh. OK. You could care less... Question for you: can you like jump out of an open window of a moving car and bite me when I am walking on a sidewalk? ‘Cause, you see, I see soooo many people walking, alone, on sidewalks all over the country wearing those Fauci-clown things on their faces. Just yesterday, midday, I...

Yes! The Fourth Reich: the PEOPLE’S REPUBLIC OF CHINA. And one of its elite enablers: NIKE. Setting this up, an acquaintance of many years asked me why in my book, Pimps Whores And Patrons Of Virtue I wrote about NIKE with loathing, and without explanation. He fancies himself as a genuine intellectual and uber informed. On reflection, his claims are absurd and pathetic, respectively. Allowing myself the conceit of truth: I am not a racist, do...
