…but it’s one that brings up some points I – most of us – need to think about. How would a war affect our own situation? Like it or not, it’s probably the likeliest outcome of the desperate Dem attempts to keep Trump out of office. They’ve tried a soft, expensive, distracting war with Ukraine …

Actually, this sabotage of public utilities and essential services has been in process for some time. But, this is providing a fresh reason to Kick the Bastards OUT! And, I’m NOT assuming that this was caused by illegals. I’m at least 1/2 way sure that this is domestic terrorism (not the “We just want to …

It’s The Year of Magical Thinking, by Joan Didion. I know, I know. She IS just as ‘Progressive’ and kneejerk as it comes. She’s associated with every cause, activist, and anti-Trump mania as is possible. But she is a terrific writer. Long before I knew who she was, I read an excerpt of her work …

Well, not NEW – but both the author, and the story, are new to me. The book is The Tears of Autumn. It’s a spy novel, but that could be anything. What it is, is a book that, but for the names of current politicians, could be written today. It’s about the careless use politicians …

From NotTheBee. Look, I get it. We’re tired and busy. We’re old, and trying to keep equally aging family members from turning toes up. So, for most of us, community involvement since Covid has been just One More Thing We Don’t Have Time to Do. Tough. Make Time. I assure you The Left is.

Yes, I know it’s hard to manage expenses on a budget. But, this is WRONG. As I’ve had ongoing problems with FB and other social media, I screenshotted this post, so it would not be ‘lost’.

This City Journal article is an excellent explanation of how statistics can be ‘massaged’ beyond all recognition. Just one example: “But is the Gallup–Lumina survey reliable? We have reason to doubt it, and not only because the nonrandom, web-based sampling employed by the report invites various biases and distortions. Tucked into the survey is the thesis-destroying …

I think that’s the correct term – normally, it’s applied to public officials, but in the case of a public corporation, I think it’s appropriate. I found this on Robert Zimmerman’s Behind the Black blog. Normally, he deals with climate, space, and other science-related topics. I signed up for the $2/month subscription, and it’s been …

I was reading an opinion piece about relations between young men and women, and I had a thought: Is Social Media like a drug with women? By comparing Social Media to drugs, I refer to the addictive nature of the experience, and the way that use of that media seems to cause personality and behavioral …

I woke early, and was preparing my coffee, when I got a call from my husband’s sister. Their brother was admitted to the hospital this morning with a suspected stroke. He is my age, just 3 months older Naturally, this up-ends all previous plans. I’m checking email, packing a go bag, and getting ready for …

First thing this morning, I opened the computer and checked the primary results. I wasn’t so much looking for who won (it was NOT going to be a surprise – in the GOP primary, Trump, in the Dem primary, Biden). Instead, I was looking at the numbers of people who voted. In IL, GOP is …

Why am I writing about this? My husband had directed me, a few years ago, to put some money into GE (and a few other old-school companies, as well). I did it under my E-Trade account, so I get the news first (although he makes any decisions about the investment). I received notification about some …

It’s The Dad With a Flamethrower, about an America thrown into chaos by an electrical emergency, leading to blackouts, lessened electrical flow (making those all-electric homes and vehicles seem like a VERY bad idea), and civil disruption. It’s KU – Kindle Unlimited – but it’s also only $0.99 to buy if you don’t have it. …

This story – about women in Cambridge jailed without a trial for suspicion of prostitution – is amazing. Shocking just how long this went on without protest. UPDATE – saw this meme and couldn’t resist posting it.

Here’s the place to go for a thorough look at each one of these.

…it’s exactly what is needed. Make colleges share the risk – if their record of graduating students with job prospects – not unpaid/poorly paid internships – is good, they get more money Limit loan size for some majors unlikely to be able to get jobs that can pay those loans back Refuse to require colleges …

…this day’s posts are just chock filled with Dissident Goodness! Don’t miss the BBC “Feminist Talent”, and the non-woke newswomen’s reaction to the video!

…Nothing Will. Eight Million People. Most of them men.

It’s BAD – REALLY BAD. The reason – the ONLY reason this is being put forth now – is because even the dip$hit idiots in Washington can see that there is a good chance that Trump will be the next President. This is meant to lock him out of options for dealing with the border. …

It’s been a killer couple of weeks. My husband took a tumble down the front stairs on January 23 – put his foot on an icy spot, and his left leg folded under him. He tore his quad, necessitating a trip to the ER (which sent him home after x-rays), and – after a follow-up …
