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

HonorĂ© 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 …

Just Because

Post this everywhere you are today – Hell, print it out and slap it on the company Coke machines, the drink fountain at the gas station, the coolers that sell the Coke. Graphic courtesy of my cousin Eddie’s FB post.

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. …

Ballot Harvesting – a Long History with the Dems

I was wasting time improving my mind, when I ran across a reference that took me to this page: The Democratic Party came into prominence in the 1840s by harvesting three out of five uncast slave ballots to check the North’s attempts at abolition. When Northern Whigs and Abolitionists had enough of Democrat vote padding under the …

Killing Off the Octopus

It’s not as easy a task as “20,000 Leagues Under the Sea” (Disney version) made it seem. Google, and its parent company, Alphabet, have their tentacles deep into just about every facet of online life. The former host company for this blog, Liberty’s Torch, was Blogger – a Google company. When you sign up/into an …

Sunday Roundup of Stories

These are just the ones that have caused me to pause, reflect, and adjust my thinking over the last week. This has been a tough week for me, physically – nothing major, just the accumulation of a lot of little things: Stupid cold lingering for over 2 weeks – the first week, I felt sick. …

Some Thoughts on Class

It’s a very un-American thing to focus on class (the more nuanced Elite will, sometimes, but point out that this is just an artifact of our bigoted system, and if we just give the lower classes access to a stable income, that will all go away). The term “socio-economic class” is used, again, with the …

H.R. 484 Co-Sponsors

Here’s the list – Democrats all. Let’s put some effort into backing their opponents in the next election, shall we? Perhaps Mrs. Limbaugh can get a fund set up, and give it a little seed money, as a memorial to her husband’s life’s work. I think he would have appreciated that. Those POS’s need to …

When Even the Mainstream Media is Noticing…

…you’ve lost the battle – maybe, even, the war. The Left looks at the Cancel Culture, the Deplatforming, and the stranglehold they have on the televised news, and thinks, “We’re WINNING!” Because so many in that group are unacquainted with any of the Normals, except as 2-dimensional characterizations, they miss the essential point: PEOPLE ARE …

In the Middle of the Night

Cue one of the many great Billy Joel songs: Where was I going with this? Oh, yeah. I have asthma. One of the common issues with it is that coughing and breathing episodes tend to cluster in the early morning hours – literally, in the middle of the night. I used to think of this …

They’re Turning the Dial Up to Crazy-Ass Dictatorship

Tucker Carlson reports on the “impartial” investigator of the House Leadership, who will “fairly” poke around to find out what really happened on Jan. 6, 2021 in Washington. Well, that makes me feel safe! Via Ace of Spades, I found this link, with a person who is NOT saying anything crazy or violent or anything, …

What Means Might Stop This?

I’m thinking State-chartered Savings & Loans, Credit Unions within a single state (but, perhaps with affiliated setups in other states), and other ways to bypass the Choke Point rules. I’m looking at places to put my available money – friendly money-holders, local credit unions, savings and loans. Also, investments in individual companies (which comes with …

What Will Follow Rush?

Well, that moment we all knew was coming is here – Rush is dead, of an aggressive form of lung cancer. He was 70 years old – just slightly older than I – and, in that abbreviated span of time, he changed the world. When he started, the Leftists and their soft allies, the Liberals, …

The Only Bricks in the Wall are US

We’re it. The older generations – the parents of Baby Boomers – are too close to the end to spare the time to give the project. It’s up to US – the much-maligned Baby Boomers, who – at this point – are the only living archive of the past culture and heritage. I’ll be 70 …

Serious Stuff, Now

Now that the Clown Impeachment is over, it’s time to focus on the proposed misdeeds of the House, Senate, and Deep State regulators and administrators. Such as this plan to put the Reigning Deep State (RDS) in charge of everything, forever. But, wait, there’s MORE! That doesn’t even cover a small portion of the awfulness …

Another Great Meme Edition

I love memes. The idea of using graphics and a little text to convey a complex idea is genius! Face it – MOST people find it hard in GOOD times to follow an abstract analysis, a lengthy storyline, or a political plot. In times like this, with high stress due to the economy, personal financial …

Keep an Eye on This Committee

It’s the Republican Study Committee, and it’s headed by Rep. Jim Banks of Indiana. I took a look at what they tweeted about the COVID spending, and it’s an eye-opener (hint: print out and pass around in public places – they may be able to keep us off social media, but – so far – …
