America’s Culture of War?
Yes, America has had a culture of war throughout American history. It is now the #1 existential threat not only to America but also to the world. So, it is time to have it fixed – now!
Parenting in America: 36 years back and 36 years ahead
Thirty-six years ago today, I became a father: My first child was born on May 4, 1987. Happy birthday, Dan!
As parents, we all want to see our children doing well. If they do, we are happy. If they do not, our hearts get broken. This is human nature, universally.
For a child to do well, all three elements must be right: parenting, self-effort, and the environment.
There has been no better environment than America over the past 36 years! But will this still be true 36 years from now? I am worried, deeply …
Tucker Carlson, the MSM, and America
What a big news story – Tucker Carlson was fired by Fox News (Fox News ousts Tucker Carlson, its most popular host)!
What was the real reason behind his firing?
The cover image highlights my speculation. Hear me out …
The battle hymn of the tiger father
In 2011, Amy Chua published a book entitled “Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother“. As a tiger dad, I felt obligated to speak out and I did, with an article entitled The Battle Hymn of The Tiger Dad. Below is the conclusion:
There are many ways to do the same thing. In parenting, between the Chinese way and the American way, I chose the latter and am very happy about it!

- My younger son Ben (Michigan, Business, Class 2011) is now the CFO of a major line of business within GE.
America’s evil MIC!
America’s MIC (Military-Industrial Complex) is the #1 existential threat not only to America, but also to the world. So, it is time to dismantle it, now!
“We the People” without them!
“We the People,” so begins the U.S. Constitution – It was a powerful slogan for a new nation founded with neither a king nor a pope.
Unfortunately, it was a lie – It was a lie in 1789, and it remains a lie today!
Not all men are created equal!
“All men are created equal” – What a slogan in the “Declaration of Independence”!
It was powerful and useful for America to defy the British King at the time. But its true validity has been in question ever since, with profound implications to date, not only for America, but also for the world.
So, it is time to thoroughly clarify it: it is false – then, now, and forever.
In other words, not all men are created equal!
Western liberal democracy is a lie!
In the 1990s, Western [liberal] democracy was hailed as possibly the permanent winner of human evolution (The End of History?).
What a joke (“The end of history,” really?)!
Brainwashing and America
In a previous post (America is a lie!), I called out America as a lie. In this post, I argue that America is the most brainwashed, as well as brainwashing, country in the history of the world!
