Domestic Tranquility, The Trad Wife, or Feminism – The enemy of the female and femininity

Posted on February 9, 2026 by Paul Harris

Without a doubt Domestic Tranquility [i]is the best book I’ve read on feminism. It’s subtitled “A Brief Against Feminism” because she was a lawyer by training. She was about the same age as Ruth Bader Ginsberg the feminist icon, heroine, and example. She pooh-poohs the idea that opportunities were limited for the women of her generation, and she faults feminism for breaking the woman-code and ridiculing women who could be happy with a loving supportive husband and raising their children.

A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Egalitarianism

Posted on February 2, 2026 by Paul Harris

This is a picture of one of my son’s over 30 years ago in my LBE, Load Bearing Equipment. I’m sure they have other names for this gear now. In fact in the 70s it was called something else too. Anyway, isn’t he cute, adorable, and in some sense laughable as when children try on adult shoes or clowns wear oversized ones? Continue reading →

Here’s a title to rival Lutheran sermon titles from the 17th and 18th centuries. Let’s see if I can make it make sense. Continue reading →

The Relationship Between Trophies for all and Elitism for None

Posted on January 19, 2026 by Paul Harris

All my kids (I think) played Little League in Louisiana. It was in the mid to late-nineties that one of them came home from his last game with a foot or taller trophy. I know his team was not in the running for winning, placing, or showing, what was it for? “Oh everyone got one.” He was delighted, and why shouldn’t he have been? Neither of his brothers even when winning divisions or tournaments had come home was something this big. I neither encouraged or dissed the “award”. Continue reading →

Back-Alley Abortions and Murder

Posted on January 12, 2026 by Paul Harris

Now that abortion “rights” have become a states’ issue and no longer a federal right you regularly hear rabid young women (mostly) fairly frothing at the mouth foretelling back-alley abortions and the butchering that entails. On the right, you will hear rabid young men (mostly) fairly frothing at the mouth that abortion is murder and women who get them so must be charged. Neither are right. Continue reading →

For Millennials and Gen Z who know the “Truth” about Science and Religion and Christianity’s Collusion, Approval, and Support of Slavery, Witch-Hunts, and Suppression of Science

Posted on January 5, 2026 by Paul Harris

If you think you know these things, you need to read this 2003 book by Rodney Stark For the Glory of God – How Monotheism Led to Reformations, Science, Witch-Hunts, and the End of Slavery. These are notes I took from this book of his. He passed in 2022. Continue reading →

Some Divine Truths Can Only Be Illustrated by Human Absurdity

Posted on December 29, 2025 by Paul Harris

I’ll give you an example of this: David’s overwhelming love for Absalom which leads to his open rebellion, eventually hanging by his hair/head plucked from his running horse by a tree branch, and pierced through with many arrows, illustrates God’s complete insane love for us. The kind of love that sends His Son to killers on a “Perhaps-they-will-respect-Him-whim” (Luke 20:13) to give those killers another chance. Continue reading →

A Christmas Blog

Posted on December 22, 2025 by Paul Harris

I searched in vain for the sermon of bygone years where I said we really shouldn’t be too critical of the 1969 invented holiday of Kwanzaa since our American Christmas – the cards, the tree, Santa, and the snow-covered landscape – we’re all if not invented at least embraced in America’s 19th century. The funny part to me has always been the last, the snow-covered landscape. Continue reading →

We Got Next

Posted on December 15, 2025 by Paul Harris

Have you seen the “We Got Now” ad campaign by New Balance? We’ll have I got one for Nike, Adidas, or Reebok, et. al. to respond with. It came to me when me and the Mrs. visited an Apple store for the first time. Turns out they do let people over 60 in…in limited numbers. We almost got tossed when my wife uttered the word TracFone. (That evidently is a vulgarity in Apple-speak.) Continue reading →
