Why am I writing about this? My husband had directed me, a few years ago, to put some money into GE (and a few other old-school companies, as well). I did it under my E-Trade account, so I get the news first (although he makes any decisions about the investment). I received notification about some …

Reading an Interesting Book
It’s The Dad With a Flamethrower, about an America thrown into chaos by an electrical emergency, leading to blackouts, lessened electrical flow (making those all-electric homes and vehicles seem like a VERY bad idea), and civil disruption. It’s KU – Kindle Unlimited – but it’s also only $0.99 to buy if you don’t have it. …

And They Say That Americans are Obsessed with Sex!
This story – about women in Cambridge jailed without a trial for suspicion of prostitution – is amazing. Shocking just how long this went on without protest. UPDATE – saw this meme and couldn’t resist posting it.

The Bill Probably Hasn’t a Chance in He((, But…
…it’s exactly what is needed. Make colleges share the risk – if their record of graduating students with job prospects – not unpaid/poorly paid internships – is good, they get more money Limit loan size for some majors unlikely to be able to get jobs that can pay those loans back Refuse to require colleges …

And now I can see
Had the surgery on my other eye yesterday. After a lifetime of bad vision, the fact that I can wake up, open my eyes and actually SEE is somewhat awe-inspiring. What a fascinating modern age we live in. Although the eye drops aren’t much fun, but they’re only temporary.

I Would Prefer to Pick Just ONE Link, But…
…this day’s posts are just chock filled with Dissident Goodness! Don’t miss the BBC “Feminist Talent”, and the non-woke newswomen’s reaction to the video!

The Proposed Border “Fix”
It’s BAD – REALLY BAD. The reason – the ONLY reason this is being put forth now – is because even the dip$hit idiots in Washington can see that there is a good chance that Trump will be the next President. This is meant to lock him out of options for dealing with the border. …

Sunday Miscellany – 2/4/2024
It’s been a killer couple of weeks. My husband took a tumble down the front stairs on January 23 – put his foot on an icy spot, and his left leg folded under him. He tore his quad, necessitating a trip to the ER (which sent him home after x-rays), and – after a follow-up …

It’s amazing what happens when you enforce the law
Texas shows how it’s done .It shouldn’t be a shock that when you enforce the laws and shut down the border, illegal criminals stop coming through. And we all know this, even the National Socialist Democrat Worker’s Party, who is now being stymied in their goal of flooding the country through mass illegal entry. Of …

What Has Been Said And Heard Cannot Be Unheard
Apparently, media company iHeart Media, previously known as Clear Channel, has been erecting some “controversial billboards.” There have been a couple of stories about this already, particularly concerning billboards that proclaim that “voter fraud is a felony” – which it is. I’m a bit baffled that merely proclaiming what’s written into the black-letter law …

The Resistance is Accelerating
If I were a Washington employee, I’d cash out of my pension, re-locate to a place FAR away, and hope the retribution doesn’t follow me. Now, I am NOT saying that Team America will be exacting a well-deserved punishment. It’s just that the sooner people re-establish themselves in another career (NOT related to politics or …

The Value of Contrarians
I was reading in the middle of the night (our dog is sickly, and I was keeping an eye on him), and happened upon this Substack post about dissident thinkers. For those who aren’t aware of Substack, it is the platform that first gained some traction when they allowed people to seamlessly ask for, and …

Blinding Flashes Of The Obvious Dept
Today’s fearless probe into the wilds of cause-and-effect reasoning comes from Roxbury, Massachusetts: As this CBS “journalist” summarizes the issue: “Why do you think Walgreen’s is targeting black and brown neighborhoods?” She refuses to ask anyone about rampant looting putting this store out of business. “Predominantly black neighborhood.” Okay, got it. …

Winter is Here!
And it’s never difficult to get kids from the North out of bed when it snows. They do so, because the School Closings start early. But, those of you from the South, it has to be a LOT more than a light dusting. One to three inches is unlikely to shut a school, unless it’s …

What Could Possibly Justify This?
Someone should clue me in, because I’m drawing a blank: In a viral video, this woman and her boo were confronted with this screen at the most unexpected place—the grocery store. In the TikTok, Ev (@incrediboii) explained that she and her boyfriend stopped by a small “bougie” grocery store in Austin, Texas …

Busy Weekend
I know that I haven’t been posting as much as I should. My apologies. Tomorrow (or today for those on the East Coast) I’ll be driving my mom to my uncle’s funeral. I’ll be back on Monday. I’ve been to far too many funerals this year, or last year, however you want to calculate it. …

Personal Update
I’ve been struggling for many weeks with a respiratory infection. Yesterday, when I went to my new doctor, he immediately ordered me to the emergency room. I’ve been increasingly fatigued, congested and, as of this weekend, breathless. The ER checked me out, prescribed antibiotics and a medication to reduce coughing (I’d been spending most of …
