They are Not DUMB, Merely Ignorant

If you have the stomach for it, read this article about college students, and how little they know about our form of government, who runs which parts of it, and compare it to their OUTSTANDING knowledge of celebrity trivia. OK. I really don’t expect kids to know the names of Supreme Court Justices (even if …

Time to Replace FL Man with…

…OH Man? I just saw this on the news (we have been REALLY busy this week, and haven’t watched much in the news). He had a HATCHET, at least one knife, and several weapons – at the Cleveland Hopkins airport! Now, I’ve been in places with NICER people (heck, in much of the South, even …

Stop Using the Terms “Right” or “Far-Right”

Instead, use the more appropriate term: NON-Leftist. Why is that so important? WE need to define our own classification. We, in fact, do range from Near-Libertarian to Constitutionalist to Populist to Old-Fashioned GOP of the 1950s (which did cooperate with Big Business to an unhealthy extent). Allowing them to use THEIR terms means that they …

Life is Good

I just returned from the doctor’s office this afternoon. I had seen my rheumatologist, because I had been experiencing pain and instability in my left knee. The bad news: Other than steroids, gel injection, or surgery, not much could be done at this time The good news: Although I have essentially no cartilage left, I’m …

True Enough Picture of The Working Man

I found this on Substack, on Tom Knighton’s site. It encapsulates the core reason the Blue Collar Worker cannot get excited about the prospect of Socialism. Blue Collar Workers (BCWs) aren’t stupid. Their work may not require a college education, but the better-paid members of that economic class have – generally – learned MORE than …

Expect Dirty Tricks

Assisted with a compliant media’s efforts. In fact, expect strenuous work to ‘catch’ Trump in a blooper/mistake/bad photo moment. While completely ignoring and whitewashing the ALZ Patient-in-Chief’s inability to function, either physically or mentally. People say, “Don’t bother about the Election. It’s all been planned, staged, and pre-arranged.” True enough. However, in the modern world, …

Surviving the Heat Wave and Other Disasters

It’s been brutal here in Ohio. Okay, not Iraq or other hellhole brutal – I’m not maneuvering around suspected IEDs – but terribly uncomfortable nonetheless. Keep in mind, most of us do NOT have homes or cars that are heat-tolerant (both are likelier to be dark in color, to absorb heat energy in the winter …

I Notice an Omission in This List

In this Discourse piece, much of it is admirable and reasonable. “All frameworks and ideologies should be open to criticism—true of the old creeds like Christianity and Judaism but also of progressive faiths like sexual identity and climate change. And it goes without saying—but must be said nonetheless—that we should begin by criticizing our own …

Those Who Forget History…

…will fall for the same old, tired tactics. Up early, as usual. Did NOT walk the dog, just let him out in the backyard. Between the heat, and the poor air quality (likely related), I will not be outdoors much today. It’s just as well, I have a lot of office filing and tossing paper …

That’s Right, It’s Not the ILLEGAL MEETING That’s the Problem…

…it’s how the attorney found out about it. Unbelievable. The attorney found out that he was not informed about a meeting between the judge, the star witness, and the prosecutor – which is not only illegal, but grounds for a mistrial AND both the judge and the prosecutor being brought up on charges and potential …

The Fears of the Karens – Exaggerated?

Well, Yah! See HERE for context. Look, it’s no secret that Rachel Maddow is an hysterical, self-important conspiracy theorist of The Left. But, she is not alone. All social media contains a plethora of such women (and more than a few fem-men). They LIVE on social media, thriving on the toadying affirmations their every posting …

That Seasonal Perennial

Immigration, that is. And it’s not just election season, although that IS when the rhetoric is dialed up to the highest level. Now – obligatory disclosure – I have little problem with the entrance of immigrants into this country, assuming they can both support themselves and have proper paperwork. I DO have problems with charities …

The Crane Flies are Gone, Life is Getting Better

I went to a friend’s memorial yesterday. When she died, I was preoccupied with my husband’s surgery and recovery, so tried to put it out of my mind as much as I could. I let it all out yesterday. Lots of tears, some laughter, and sharing memories with others who knew her. When I finally …

Glad to See the Others Are Stepping In

I’ve been unbelievably busy the last couple of days. I’m getting back to events for Health Insurance – mostly Educational in nature. That’s when I go to different sites, and answer questions about Medicare, Medicaid, and Marketplace plans (MMM). I also have some giveaways from the various plan marketing reps available. But, mostly, I’m there …

A Truism for All Time

“The surest way to find a lost package of seeds is to order a new one.” I’ve been catching up on my reading, and have found the Eaton Rapids Joe blog. He has a story in progress that he has been serializing on his blog, so I’ve been working on catching up – backwards. Never …

All That Because People Don’t Believe in God

Rather than accept, and marvel at, God’s unique manner of sustaining the human race – by using natural reproduction processes to generate new beings that will, eventually, replace the organisms, anti-theists are attempting to make individuals immortal. Not EVERY individual. The expense would be prohibitive. No, this will be for the favored ‘special little people’. …

Never Underestimate the Power of The Left to Screw Things Up

We’re in a bad place when the best we can hope for is that our enemies are as incompetent as we always thought them to be. But, when The Enemy are making a huge mistake (Big Mistake! HUGE!), don’t stop them. Let them wallow in the ruins they are creating. I wish I were better …

The Weekend STARTED off Well

Guys, I REALLY needed something to take my mind off the pathetic verdict in the NY-Trump trial persecution/railroading. So, when my son called to arrange the details of my Mother’s Day gift of a Cleveland Guardians game, I was ready to hop on that bus. It was an incredible game – low-scoring at first, only …

Re-Recession on the Way?

Not surprised. It’s happened, just masked with taxpayer-paid giveaways, manipulation with the dollar, and some – um, Creative Accounting. The trick for the Dems/Left is to control the timing of the actual fall/crash. Ideally, the Pro-Trump crowd would give them an excuse to let the girders propping up the whole mess, so TPTB can blame …

What I Could Not SayYesterday

I had thought I was rational and realistic about Trump’s chances. I wasn’t. I was irrationally hopeful that, despite the. Biased judge and the NY Dem jury, when they heard the actual case against him, they might have, at least, a hung jury. I was wrong. so very wrong. Now, the Entitled Etitled think they …
