Enhancing Pedagogy In Cambodia (EPIC) I just participated in an education conference in Siem Reap, Cambodia. I was pleasantly surprised by a genuine desire to improve Cambodian education, by government officials, NGOs, and foreign agencies. Notably absent was any input from private schools, as though they were not interested in enhancing education. Why? When I […]

TOXIC MASCULINITY IS GENDER DYSPHORIA
What? I’ll bet you never heard anyone make that claim before. But hear me out, as I make my case. My understanding of Gender Dysphoria The basic dilemma is that some people’s physical sex is male, while their mental make-up (gender) is female. Most transgenders will state that they have always been that way; there […]
IT’S NOT RACISM; IT’S RACE HATRED
‘Alligator Auschwitz’, the concentration camp built in the Everglades, really brings out the race hatred in Trump and the MAGA world. Did you see the smiles of jubilation when they described alligators eating 65 million immigrants? While liberals are aghast at the cruelty of the concentration camp, MAGA folks are rubbing their hands in glee. […]
COULD TRUMP PERMIT SLAVERY?
The Courts could not stop him. Suppose Trump suddenly issued a royal decree declaring slavery legal. That’s clearly unconstitutional. How could anyone stop this? The obvious answer should be that the courts should step in and say, “That’s unconstitutional. You can’t do that.” However, the recent SCOTUS decision states that courts cannot do this. So […]
TRUMP’S INSIDIOUS PLAN FOR EL SALVADOR
By dismissing charges, he could keep them there forever. Trump was under pressure to bring Garcia back from El Salvador, but needed an excuse to save face. He conjured up a grand jury to indict Garcia on some charges, knowing that ‘a grand jury will indict a ham sandwich.’ Trump’s TACO image is on full […]
DON’T CALL THEM ILLEGALS
I shouldn’t feel the need to write this, as everyone should be aware that ‘undocumented’ is not the same thing as ‘illegal’. Most of these immigrants crossed the border and applied for asylum. Because of the huge backlog of cases, they are released – legally – until their asylum hearing, which may be a year […]
WHAT’S GOING ON IN GAZA?
I wrote a couple of blogs over the past year, with the following hypothesis: Hamas staged its massacre of Israelis in order to goad Israel into destroying Gaza. This would outrage the international community into finally wiping out the Zionists. To add to this strategy, Hamas stationed its troops in schools and hospitals, forcing Israel […]
TARIFFS AND DEPORTATION — SCOTUS MAY DECIDE IN TRUMP’S FAVOR
The United States Court of International Trade ruled that President Trump did not have authority to “impose unlimited tariffs on goods from nearly every country in the world” and blocked Trump’s prized tariff program. Normally, only Congress can enact tariffs, but Trump had argued that the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) gave him the right to […]
CAMBODIA’S S.T.E.M. PROBLEM
Let’s face it – STEM education in Cambodia is terrible. First, some statistics: Countries the world are ranked by PISA scores of 15-year-olds in math and science. Of 81 countries measured (Africa excluded), the average score is 472, while Cambodia scores 336 in math and 347 in science – in both cases dead last, far […]
WAS BIDEN TREATED?
First, I should say that I find the many attacks on Joe Biden in bad taste. He is no longer a political threat to anyone, so there is no reason to drag his name in the mud. Let’s just drop the matter. Here’s what I, along with most average Americans, have concluded about the Biden […]
