How the U.S. States Got Their Names
Following are the 50 States’ names with brief explanations of their origins. Please note, this list may have some inaccuracies, because as I researched the state names, I often found multiple explanations at various sources, many of which contradicted each other. So I had to try to choose the options which seemed to be confirmed by the most legitimate authorities.…

2026 Shooting at White House Correspondents Dinner
I do not readily accept conspiracy theories, but the social media wires are sizzling with questions about this latest assassination attempt, many asserting it was faked. After years of refusing to attend the White House Correspondents’ Association annual dinner, Trump suddenly makes a big deal that he’s going to go. This does seem like some odd timing. Soon after the…
All the Wrong Places (Updated April 23)
What we learned at school, what we see in movies and television shows, things we read, experiences we have… we all have an idea of where something is supposed to be. For example, mention of a span of ice stretching for hundreds of miles with no human in sight might make us think of the Arctic or Antarctic. But our…
MAGAs Outed Themselves on Easter (Updated April 15)

By now, you’ve seen the above screenshot multiple times on social media. I see a lot of memes with fake Trump posts. I always go to Truth Social to see if he really…

Irreducible complexity: A concept used by proponents of Intelligent Design and Young Earth Creationism (YEC) to argue that complex organisms could not have evolved gradually from more primitive forms, because they need all their interacting parts to function. If you remove one part, the other parts will cease to function. Therefore, the organism could not have started with fewer parts.…
