It’s happening, and not just in Australia. In the USA, it’s happening via the schools, large corporations, and local efforts. The not-that-serious Omicron variant – what you and I would characterize as basically a cold – is being used as an excuse to remove civil rights from dissidents: The right to travel freelyhttps://www.msn.com/en-us/news/technology/lost-your-job-for-refusing-a-vaccination-mandate-can-you-still-collect-unemployment/ar-AAPhNht The right …

More evidence of the perniciousness of permitting the opposition to tunnel into your institutions. It’s not sufficient to defeat the partisan/ideological enemy at the ballot box; we ALSO have to root them out of our institutions. One more argument for reduction of the permanent government.

This is not a new area of research. Many biologists and other human science researchers have postulated about the seemingly viral-like nature of social memes and their spread. It’s nice to have some confirmation from research, but our Moms knew this: “Stay away from that crowd, they’re up to no good.” She knew intuitively, that …

I am settled down, for now. I had a mild panic about 1/2 hour ago; I could not find my iPhone anywhere. I asked Alexa to call me – nope, didn’t help me find it (the volume was turned down). I finally thought to use my iPad’s Find my iPhone app – it worked a …

I’m reading The Least of Us: True Tales of America and Hope in the Time of Fentanyl and Meth. It’s really well written, and has offered many details that surprised me. For example, did you know that one of the reasons that the Magic Bullet blender is so successful? Turns out that it is used …

UPDATE: The Judge tossed out this gun possession by a minor charge (not a felony, despite what I wrote below). This happens all the time in lawmaking; the zealots want to impose some restriction on citizens’ rights, and they ramrod a bill through in short order. Then, after the dust settles, they realize that their …

I’m not going to Go Ted Kaczynski, but I do have some concerns about the infiltration of technology into so many aspects of our lives. I wrote in the post above about all of the ways that I use technology in my life. Just from the things I could come up with, off the top …

I DID get the cordless snow blower, at a good price. If I were you, I wouldn’t wait too long – even at a megastore like HD, the supplies are limited, and the cheaper ones are going fast. And, in an associated note, make sure you get TWO batteries – and the charger (some boxes …

Moving. Trying to stock the new house. Transferring a business across states. Long-term physical issues. Missing my adjustable bed and electric lounge chair. Family issues. Weather. Missing my radio club activities. Escalating economic problems in America and the world. So, I’m mostly posting at Right As Usual – The Next Generation. And, making my Task …

Trevor Noah is not COMPLETELY wrong here. NOAH: “And I’m sorry, guys, but any parent who thinks their 17-year-old school’s assignment is too explicit, they need to check out his browser history, because trust me, he can handle it. It this shows you that the real dangerous ideology in society isn’t conservatism or liberalism. It’s …

I’ve been following The Gateway Pundit lately, as its coverage of News TPTB would rather bury is far above that of the Mainstream Media. Today’s link is to a story about a likely FBI plant, who appears to have instigated much of the activity for which those involved got arrested. The ‘investigative media’ has completely …

I happened to stop at a Walmart yesterday (needed a lot of diverse things – shower rod, hardware, and garden). I didn’t find as much in the store that I had on the list, so I decided to pick up a few things I’d been meaning to get at a grocery. Guys, I haven’t been …

Horizontal Relationships, and how they contribute to self-sufficiency. Many on the Right talk of self-sufficient families; some broaden that to the extended family, as well. The Left prefers to think of “The Global Village”, and have a preference for a top-down approach (i.e., “the Government” should run things”). Click on the link to get a …

I was perusing random sites, and found this one, referred by Instapundit.https://commodity.com/blog/us-local-debt/. If you look at the breakdowns, it appears that LOCAL debt is a bigger problem than state debt, for many states. That actually makes some sense, as: State governments usually have a balanced budget as part of their constitution, limiting the amount of …

How about we add a line to the tax forms? “By signing below, this taxpayer authorizes the government of the United States to raise the debt limit to spend more money we haven’t got. I realize that this means I will pay MORE in taxes over the following years.” My guess is that fewer than …

They are waving the “Bloody Shirt”.

After a very frustrating week of: Closing on our new home (signed papers in SC, found that the vital parts weren’t signed/transmitted), traveled to OH to deal with the issue in person (husband traveled all night), and finally got the keys and started moving stuff in. We had electricity, but not gas, water, or internet. …

From the list of brands affected, it looks like women and the men that are trying to impress them, Black people, and Rednecks with taste (the Rye). Frankly, any man who spends as much as Dom Perignon costs (it can run over $200 a bottle!), is either trying to score with a woman who is …

I found this on Wired. Perhaps not surprisingly, those Tech Nerds are flabbergasted at the idea that religions’ practices have practical application for modern people. As a Catholic, I come from a long heritage of scientists with strong religious convictions – Pascal, Descartes, Copernicus, Lemaitre, Mendel, Mercalli, Lavoisier, Doppler, to just name a few. Check …

The memorials – flowing water, ‘pretty speeches’ (well, if you don’t consider the politicized speech of the former president slamming the NLD (Non-Leftist Dissidents) as Domestic Terrorists), and and fervent undercurrent of “Let’s Forget”. That’s the Democratic Legacy of 9/11. It was Terribly Inconvenient of the Taliban not to cooperate in a quick and “victorious” …
