The Rational Ram

Greetings! This is my first post in a long while. I had open-heart surgery last year in addition to finishing a master’s degree, so my focus shifted to recovery and introspection. I will share some insights from my recovery journey and introspection in the coming months. I thank everyone who follows my blog and I […]

Media mogul and CNN founder Ted Turner once said that “life is a game; money is how we keep score”. I don’t necessarily disagree with Mr. Turner because his comment highlights a fundamental outlook that most people have about life, at least subconsciously. However, I posit that most people let money control them rather than […]

It’s been a while since my last post. I don’t want my readers to think I abandoned my blog 😉 I saw a video on YouTube from a relatively new Tuber I subscribed to and I felt compelled to write about the video below in the comments. The channel is Daily Self Improvement Red Pill. […]

I trust that my readers are having a wonderful Thanksgiving 2021 weekend! As I am sure everyone knows, all three men charged with the murder of Ahmaud Arbery in Georgia are now convicted of that crime and all face the prospect of life in prison as they enter the sentencing phase. This blog post will […]

I’d be remiss if I didn’t acknowledge that this is my first post in quite a while. More than six months. Life gets busy sometimes, so apologies to those who follow my blog. I certainly appreciate the support from those who follow the Rational Ram! Of course, I’d be equally remiss if I didn’t take […]

As of this writing, we are nearing the end of Day 3 (rounds 4-7) of the NFL’s Annual Selection Meeting for 2021, otherwise known as the 2021 NFL Draft. I will spare my readers unnecessary explanations on how the NFL Draft works because I assume anyone reading this post already knows how the NFL Draft […]

Comedian Bill Maher is one of my favorite television hosts. Not because I find his material particularly funny, but because he found his niche in taking political satire (e.g. The Daily Show with Trevor Noah) out of the realm of satire and into the realm we all live in. Reality. Maher’s penchant for humorous, but […]

This is my first blog post since the inauguration of Joseph R. Biden Jr. as the 46th President of the United States. I wanted to wait until after his inauguration to comment on the events leading up to the inauguration, bookended by the days-long conclusion of the 2020 election and the storming of U.S. Capitol […]

The term “vote fraud” or “voter fraud” manages to enter our collective lexicons every presidential election, but I think it is safe to say that the term is more prevalent in the wake of the 2020 presidential election than in any election before it. I won’t bore my readers by repeating and belaboring the myriad […]

I preface today’s blog entry by expressing my condolences to the family and friends of Dr. Walter E. Williams, who passed away this week on 2 December 2020 at the age of 84 due to complications from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and hypertension. Dr. Williams was a noted economist, commentator, and academic. A professor […]
