Hello! My name is Carter and I am a new writer here for the Bereans at the Gate. I hope you find my posts engaging and at least a little comical. Enough about me – on with the show! For most of human history, the average Joe has had very little say about how he […]

The PreCrimes of Amy Barrett – BDC Vol. 14
12 Oct 2020
The Bullington Diatribe Chronicles will run occasionally for the amusement of some, the facepalming of many others, and the inconvenience of all. The following is satire….obviously. The Minority Report (2020 Remake) Act I, Scene 8: We find our heroine, Amy Barrett, before a tribunal of the D.C. PreCrime Division. Having been arrested earlier that day, […]

I don’t believe “The” Science!
08 Oct 2020
One of the most laughable claims of politicians these days is that we must believe “The” science. Last night’s debate with Ms. Harris and Mr. Pence just reiterated this claim. It’s a weapon mostly of the left, at least this election cycle. With respect to Covid-19, Mr. Biden (and therefore Ms. Harris) says we must […]

Fear Itself – BDC Vol. 13
07 Oct 2020
The Bullington Diatribe Chronicles will run occasionally for the amusement of some, the facepalming of many others, and the inconvenience of all. The following is satire….obviously.

Preparing Financially For The Next Crisis
05 Oct 2020
While the old axiom states that nothing is so certain as death and taxes, it may be equally true to say that if we live long enough we will experience a crisis. Many readers recall living through the Great Recession of 2007/2008. Others have experienced 9/11 or the dot.com bubble of 2000, and for older […]

Ok, Bereans, now its your turn!
05 Oct 2020

Rejoice with our next President!
02 Oct 2020
First off, prayers to Donald and Melania Trump and their team that have tested positive for Covid-19. They will have the best of care, and I’m hopeful for a quick and complete recovery for all. You can sense the big Mo has definitely shifted towards Mr. Biden in the last few weeks. The NYT accomplished […]

Trumpian Tax Troubles?
28 Sep 2020
The NYT reported that it has reviewed Mr. Trump’s tax returns for years, and they suggest years of paying little to no federal taxes, as Mr. Trump allegedly uses money-losing ventures to offset earnings from other companies he owns, and he also uses his companies to fund his and his family’s lavish lifestyle. Mr. Trump, […]

It’s Amy!
26 Sep 2020
So said the headline to last night’s DRUDGE REPORT, as President Trump is expected to nominate Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court later today. I am delighted with the pick, and despite the fact that this adds fuel to the fire, I believe we have no reason not to quickly confirm Mrs. Barrett. The […]

Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg died on Friday of complications from pancreatic cancer. She was 87. As a law student, Ginsburg graduated first in her class at Columbia Law, but found it difficult to land a position. Her mentor told a judge friend he would no longer send students to him as clerks if he did […]
