Putka I don’t know what percent of the world knows that Russia invaded Ukraine, but I’d guess it’s pretty high. I’m fortunate in that I’ve traveled through Europe extensively, as there was a period in my 20’s that I backpacked Europe for a year and have been back many times since then. During those travels,

Left Wing Violence in Minneapolis and Beyond

Peace-Full? On May 25, George Floyd was killed by a Minneapolis police offer while being arrested. A 911 complaint said that Floyd used counterfeit money that day in a local business and was “pretty drunk”. When police initially approached Floyd after the complaint, he was inside a vehicle in an area a few miles SE

A New Way Forward?

Forward? One of the reasons that I love to travel is that I use it as an opportunity to tune out. When I travel, I usually don’t watch tv, read newspapers, or keep up with current events. In the constant stream of (almost entirely left leaning) 24/7 media in our country, it’s nice to separate

UPS, Immigration, Crime, and Sweden

I took this post offline for awhile, because it seemed to be very controversial. People in the U.S., including myself, are overwhelmed with political messages and stories.

My Encounter With Radical Islam

Bueno Buenos Aires In 2010 I was in a bit of a lull. The economy was terrible and still very much inside the country’s recession. I was in between jobs and wasn’t sure what was next. After looking at some travel options, I decided on a 5 month trip to South America. The trip in

New Zealand Trans Weightlifter Dominates

Girl Power? There’s some tension in the weightlifting ranks in New Zealand. A 39-year-old weightlifting champ who was born male, and who previously competed in men’s national weightlifting before his “transition” during his mid-30s is dominating. Unfortunately that dominance is in the female division. That dominance is se...

Car Burnings In Sweden

Echo Chamber There aren’t many conservative media sources in Europe. Conservative media is like a needle in a haystack, and that haystack has been emptied on the ground in a large barn and then mixed in with 100 other bales of hay. Although I love being in and traveling in Europe, it’s is an echo
