Hetty 1890
“He was thinking of Hetty Merton. Through vanity he had spared her. In hypocrisy he had worn the mask of goodness. For curiosity’s sake he had tried the denial of self.”
— Oscar Wilde, 1890

Shorten Pride Month
Can Pride Month end a few days early this year? Its insufferable length and signature obnoxiousness need to end. It’s not anti-gay to point out that this has become a no-class time of the year. Can we please celebrate someone or something else? The LGBTQ community is not special. It is losing straight supporters. It is turning people off. Enough. Move on. Move over.
Put another way? We need not be “all in” “all the time” in our support of anyone or anything historically marginalized. I support most things about the LGBTQ community but won’t be a mindless participant-slave in what has become a nuance-free team sport. No movement deserves everyone’s blind full-time support on penalty of being called a bigot. Or a homophobe. A racist. A misogynist. A name. There are shades of grey. LGBTQ World, please get some class. You’re blowing it with most Americans.

Debate and Destroy Antifa-BLM.
It’s ironic, but true, and no exaggeration—and frankly a brilliant ruse—that BLM-Antifa are Fascist at their core and the biggest threat to America and the West since Germany’s Third Reich. Debate BLM-Antifa—but destroy them, too. BLM-Antifa is the real enemy. They believe in “Good Tyranny” and controlling via a central government nearly every aspect of human life. Learn. Wake up. Shed your silly middle class guilt that BLM-Antifa relies on to control you. Right now? They have half of America in the palm of their hand.

Get a grip.
Scores of my family—some officers but most not—fought on both sides of the American civil war. Based on what I’ve learned, the vast majority fought based on region. I honor all of them. Every one of them. It’s time to welcome back and honor them all.
