Hurricane Sandy, in 2012, killed 106 people in the United States, total. News coverage was 24/7 for weeks. The Federal government rushed in, as did politicians and celebrities. Hurricane Helene has already hit over 120 people, and more to come. Other than SHORT updates, pretty much Bupkis. Appalachia has always lagged behind the rest of …

But, that was then, this is now. I don’t remember that; as that was the year I was pregnant with, and delivered my first child, a lot of events were ignored. My focus was on managing the sudden chaos in my own life. During that year, we moved – twice, once just days after I …

You know it. I know it. All sentient beings know it. Assuming that Trump takes office, expect MASSIVE economic downturns! In the stock market In banks/investment banks In pension funds In the value of housing In employment (The only positive side is that, should jobs not be available, many immigrants will self-deport. It happened in …

When I saw this, I immediately thought of putting it out on Facebook. But, you know how that goes: I’d be reported for “Fake News” Immediately, the Die-Hard, Rabid Liberals/Progressives* would get in my face, telling me I HAD to show them my sources It would all deteriorate into a He Said/She Said hot mess …

But, due to laryngitis. In my previous experiences, it can take a couple of WEEKS to come back. I’m managing. I learned to use my iPad to have it speak my typed messages. I can use Alexa to alert my husband, who might be in another room. I can type a message in the app …

Don’t wanna watch TV – it’s nothing but crappy shows, and political ads so dumb I can feel my brain cells dying off. I have a nasty respiratory infection. What they used to call a cold. Not Covid, just something that filled my lungs with crud, and is now being coughed out. I really don’t …

When a lifelong Democrat, from an iconic Democrat family, who tried to run as a Democrat, and who’s running mate was a Democrat, warns you about the dangers of voting for the Democrat in this election, you should probably listen. — Dan Bongino (@dbongino) August 23, 2024

Yet another non -joyful Walz (doesn’t he look a lot like Ed Asner?) I could not find an angry looking Hillary Clinton photo. Since it’s very rare for her to look happy, not irritated, or with a fixed smile that tries to hide a seething interior, I’m gonna guess that she is either on some …

…to pick the DUMBEST INDIAN on the planet. I mean, think of it. People from the Indian subcontinent are generally thought of as leaning towards the intelligent side of the Bell Curve. Not every one is a genius (although many are, including some that are math stars), but the average Indian possesses sufficient brain power …

It started on Friday afternoon with an odd phenomenon: Flashing lights in the perimeter of my vision. Not constant, but intermittent. At first, I thought it might be reflections off the lenses of my trifocal lenses. I took them off, but the problem persisted. After an hour or so, they were not going away. I …

Should a man so tightly connected to a foreign government, who may have participated in activities at least partially subsidized by the authoritarian Chinese government (CCP) – the extent of Chinese money Walz may have accepted in the late 1990s through 2003 is not known, as it is kept from public scrutiny – be elected …

Words fail me. Look, I only had ONE Econ course, some Accounting classes, and a general knowledge of how the American Economy works. I’m no expert. I read various online pages – WSJ, Bloomberg, and FEE (Foundation for Economic Education – I highly recommend it to give you a basic, overall understanding of how world …

I’m fine. There was a storm, followed by a brief outage (about an hour). Power is back on, and I’m thrilled. This is still hot for the lakefront area, which is normally temperate at this time of year. For the rest of the week, the temps should be in the 70s. There were tornado warnings, …

Words don’t properly convey the ridiculousness of it, all conveyed in a ‘baby-talk’ voice. https://video.twimg.com/amplify_video/1817910650460581888/vid/avc1/1300×720/T6ZJ9oqrEOHc_XsW.mp4?tag=14 The game plan has been set, the operation is in process. The programming has begun. We are being directed to view this woman as inevitable, gentle, and reasoned – none of those qualities are true. Kamala CAN be beat. And, …

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 …

…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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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, …
