It’s Black Friday. How would you like a gift that doesn’t require cash, credit, or Apple Pay yet is worth far more than anything you’ll find elsewhere? This is one you just have to have.

Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays, because it gives us a chance to gather and truly think about that for which we are (or should be) thankful. In that vein, here is my Thanksgiving message to all of you:

Happy Thanksgiving!

There are always lessons to be learned in the aftermath of storms, and one of those is reliability of the electrical supply. Recent hurricanes have revealed flaws in the potential progress of power production.

A couple of weeks ago, I wrote about state governments going too far with their legislation and regulations in Government gone wild: https://open.substack.com/pub/curetsky/p/government-gone-wild?r=xb9l8&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web. Today, it’s time for Government gone wild: Federal edition:

Perhaps it’s never having heard or read the classics that has led so many Americans to desire Marxism. Let’s make Little Golden Books great again!

Americans have, in large part, gone off the rails over elections. The reactions from both Democrats and Republicans in the wake of November 5 further reveals something I’ve said for a long time - most Americans have little, if any, knowledge or understanding of the Constitution. Working in tech as I do, a common phrase when you want to know how something works is RTFM - Read the F^@#!*$ Manual. It’s time for all Americans to do just that. Don’t worry, it’s a lot shorter and easier to read than the end-user agreement for your new iPhone or your Windows upgrade (unlike , it’s written in plain English).

A link to a transcript of the Constitution is included in the following: https://open.substack.com/pub/curetsky/p/rtfm-america-adb?r=xb9l8&utm_medium=ios

Since the election was called for Trump, the media has been in massive meltdown mode over Our Democracy™ and how millions of people voted to end democracy by electing the anti-democracy candidate. I think it’s time for us all to go back to school and get some proper civics education.

Can democracy survive an anti-democrat?

There are many happy people and a lot of unhappy people today in the wake of the presidential election. Regardless of which candidate you favored, can we be, as Harris repeatedly postulated, "unburdened by what has been"?

Everyone is stressing about the election. Regardless who wins tonight, we all know how the story ends, and you will want to be on the winning side when that time comes.

Thomas Jefferson said, “A wise and frugal Government, which shall restrain men from injuring one another, which shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned. This is the sum of good government, and this is necessary to close the circlue of our felicities.” Those in office today seem to have missed the memo.

If you think this election isn't important, you haven't been paying attention. The fate of the galaxy is in your hands!

We hear a lot today about threats to Our Democracy™. From where do these threat come? Most would say Trump and/or MAGA. Are these threats real? What is truly in danger? What is truly at risk? Let's take a look.

We often hear cries at election time for the dissolution of the electoral college, because "a candidate shouldn't be able to win the popular vote but still lose the election." On the contrary, that was the explicit reason for the electoral college. The President isn't supposed to be elected based on a strict majority vote. Let me explain...

Who needs college?

I originally wrote about our elections back in February, but I today inserted information from additional sources to help clarify. Now more than ever, understanding how our elections are supposed to work is critical for the American people.

Whoricane Kamala tore through the south leaving lies in her wake. She thought it would help her campaign, but as far as I can tell, she blew it.

A person's vocabulary can reveal intelligence or expose ignorance. Words can help express and clarify thoughts, or they can create confusion. Sometimes, even a title or opening statement can cause us to question the rest of what someone writes or says:
