Seems to Be Back

I’d tried to log in this morning, but kept getting an error message. It’s working now, but I decided to put the post on Right As Usual – The Next Generation.

Ending DC?

Read the proposal – it’s not BAD, but I think the solution he makes is wrong. Adam Ellwanger, in his post, suggests moving most of government – at least, that which is conducted in Washington – online. Congress, the Senate, the agencies, State Dept., among others. Not a completely horrible solution to the issue of …

My Reply to Sen. Pocahontas

Stages of Societal Collapse

The ever-readable Wilder, Wealthy, and Wise blog has a particularly important post. In it, John Wilder relates the Stages of Grief to the psychological process we’ve been working our way through over the last decade. In the order, Wilder labels the stages: The Warning The Event Disbelief Panic Heroism The Cliff Disillusionment Rebuilding Exactly what …

Salk or Sabin…

…or, BOTH? BOTH varieties of polio vaccine have their drawbacks. They both have similar effectiveness, but the Salk (dead virus) doesn’t stop the spread, and the Sabin (live virus) can – occasionally mutate BACK into the nasty type of polio. My question, other than the extra expense, is – why not do BOTH? Do the …

It’s a 1st World Problem, I Know

But, the last few days have been mega frustrating. My internet has been in and out. Completely out, I could live with. You just put down the e-thingies, and go about your life. But, when it SOMETIMES works for brief periods, and then abruptly cuts off, it’s maddening. The service person won’t be here until …

Could THIS be Behind the Trip to Taiwan?

Couldn’t be in court, or available to answer questions. MUCH more important to flirt with Brinksmanship in the China Sea.

Watergate Redux – on Steroids

The use of the resources of the Federal government to target innocent, or, at least, not criminally culpable people, reminds me – a LOT – of the Days of Watergate. And, by Watergate, I don’t mean That Triumphant Ousting of a President – that happened already, when Trump backed off from an open challenge of …

Voting Integrity

UPDATE: I found this essay on The Left’s plan to keep Trump out of office. It has multiple scenarios for that effort, depending on the situation on the ground (Funny how these military phrases seem to keep cropping up when discussing Trump, isn’t it? And, by that, I DON’T mean that Trump or his allies …

International Cooperation and Competition

It’s not all – or even mostly – about love and peace and being a beacon to the world. It’s about which nations WIN. Now, that’s a hard idea for Modern Women – and their sorta-Male Allies – to wrap their heads around. Faced with a harsh reality – that, generally, nations will try to …

Disposable Women

The whole Surrogate ‘Mother’, Artificial Womb, and Tech-Driven Push to Eliminate Natural Pregnancy movement has always struck most of us as – Off. Just Not Right, in a way many of us felt, but couldn’t explain. For many, the only way they could bring a child into their family (adoption is not a possibility for …

OK, I’m a Dork

I’m on of those people who actually enjoy reading Congressional bills, and looking for the ‘Easter eggs’ – the sly little provisions that are the REAL goal of the bill. Here is my take on HR 8373.

A New Rule of Life

When it comes to problems with your water supply: It might be terrorist attack It could be a cyber attack It might be a blown water main It might be tree roots working their way into clay pipes (surprisingly common in older parts of the country) It might be a toy or something flushed down, …

World Economies Roundup

First, and perhaps most importantly – China. At this point, there seems to be no way to make long-term money from China. They have a history of bad faith: Ruling against non-Chinese companies in court (no matter what the facts of the case). Delivering shoddy products – and, that’s in GOOD times! Imagine how bad …

Preparing for the Next Battles

Yeah, Battles – plural. It’s not gonna be over soon, no matter WHO is elected, in 2022, or in 2024. Ace of Spades had a nice post today, in which he identifies some of the issues and battlegrounds. He is pessimistic – but realistic. The Dobbs decision is NOT the end of the trail. Nor …

I’m Not SAYING That I’m Falling Apart…

…but, I’m hobbling around today. My toe had a smackdown encounter with the leg of a wooden chair in my daughter’s living room. The toe lost, and is blackened and swollen. As a result of my need to place weight gingerly on the right foot, my left ankle has compensated by becoming sore and stiff, …

What Do the Changes in Supreme Court Decisions Mean?

It does NOT mean that they will be “swinging right”. I don’t seriously see the SP Justices dragging their colleagues over to the other side, in the short term or the long term. Most of them have kept their basic philosophy intact through changes in government or changes in the court. What it MIGHT mean …

So, Non-Americans With No Criminal Conviction…

Just HAPPEN to have their cases dropped – those are the cases for crossing the border illegally – just in ltime for them to be registered, and vote (or, have some OTHER person/organization do so for them) in the Congressional elections. Why, who could be against THAT? Haters, that’s who.
