Anyone Here Live Near the Border?
Or, know someone who does, and is willing to spend some time. Cuz, since AOC is no longer able willing to pose near it, to bring media attention to the “plight” of people who made their own choice to commit an illegal act – crossing the border without the permission of the target country – …

Should They Stay, or Go?
Migrants, that is. For a long time, there have been several classes of migrants: Those looking for opportunities – mostly economic in nature Those looking to escape poverty, crime, and horrific governments in their home countries Those hoping to be reunited with their families in the USA, some of whom may not necessarily have legal …

Google’s Avoidance of St. Patrick is NOT New
I saw this post on American Thinker – pointing out that this year’s St. Patrick’s Day Google Doodle ignores the saint almost completely. It got me thinking, and I found that almost ALL of the saint’s day’s doodles were secular, or near enough. The closet thing to a recognition of the religious aspect of the …

Movies to Watch – Prime Video – 1st Film
I’m watching No Safe Spaces, with Adam Carolla and Denis Prager, among others. As long as you have the Prime account for the shipping, you might as well use it to both educate yourself, as well as to F*** with Amazon. You have to work to find some of the videos, and a few are …

American Stasi
It’s been here for some time. Those people who will ‘pile on’ when they detect the slightest disagreement with their views. Or, when someone who is an easy target says or does ANYTHING. Doesn’t matter what they say. Or DON’T say. Or if they apologize for clumsy wording, if it might be taken in an …

A Quick Task Before the Dentist’s Office (Ugh)
I was hearing people talk about how they wanted to participate in a betting pool on the date/time when Little Joey Biden would exit the Oval Office. So, I used a Baby Birthdate pool to create that very thing. It’s a buck a guess, proceeds to go to the DAV (Disabled American Vets). It’s only …

The Scariest Words in Biden’s Address
“We need everyone to get vaccinated. We need everyone to keep washing their hands, stay socially distanced and keep wearing the mask as recommended by the CDC. Even if we devote every resource we have beating this virus and getting back to normal depends on national unity. And national unity it isn’t just how politicians …

The Dr. Seuss Debacle
If you had asked me to predict just which writers would be banned, I couldn’t have predicted: Laura Ingalls Wilder – books said to be racist, based on common attitudes at that time towards the Indigenous People of America. Dr. Seuss – cartoon depictions of Asians and other People of Color said to be exaggerated …

I WAS Going to do Something Useful, But…
…my internet started getting flakey, and I had to re-boot, and I was using a known site (with known loading characteristics) to test it out. Okay? Okay, I have to admit it was According to Hoyt, which – STRICTLY because I was scrolling down the page to see if it loaded correctly – led to …

Tough Day Personally
I just came back from a trip to the Ortho guy – had a knee injection with a gel substance (the needle is HUGE!). Naturally, I was actually hobbling worse when I left, than when I entered. Nonetheless, in another day or two, I will be experiencing the benefits of a more fluid motion in …

Why HR1 HAS to be enacted NOW
Because, before Harris can depose Biden, she has to be able to ram her VP replacement into the job. As it takes a simple majority of BOTH the House and the Senate, the Leftists MUST win the NEXT election. Which, given the way they have pi$$ed off the Normals, and the determination that they will …

Something New
I’ve been reading a new series of essays, by Paul Graham. Well, technically, they’re not NEW – but they are new to me. This one has got me thinking – it’s about the way that writing is taught in schools, and what’s wrong with it (short answer: a lot). But, it also touches on what …

America: Default Alive, or Default Dead?
I read a lot. Mostly blogs, for the breadth of content. And, what I have found most interesting about that reading is the links. The links are an indicator of what that blogger was reading/thinking about, when they decided to put down those thoughts. In essence, the links are a cookie trail to what inspired …

How to Make Life Suck Less
I was thinking about this very thing this morning, when I ran across John Wilder’s post. I won’t excerpt it, you need to read it for yourself, along with the comments. The thing is, terrible things do happen to people – even those who work hard to live a good life, pay their own way, …

Pelosi Chose Her Military Quisling Well
Honoré was likely right about the number who are – by Pelosi’s definition – “unreliable” soldiers (not fully committed to implementing the Leftist schema). The thing is, I know people who work in that field. At one time, I taught the students of Fort Jackson’s military families (my school had about 1/3 of the population …

Did You Know This?
Obama was the second President to graduate from Harvard Law School. Hayes was the first. I’d always assumed that JFK had a law or graduate degree. He didn’t. He attended Stanford for a short while, then left without a degree. His undergraduate grades weren’t all that impressive. He was in the second tier of his …

YES! Just – YES!
Ace of Spades throws it down. And, I agree. To hell with economic philosophy, to hell with principles. Those who would primarily be personally affected would be the same ones that worked so hard to deprive the rest of us of a voice. Who treat us like $hit, then come around looking for a handout. …
