Comments were closed on this post by the time I’d seen it. Hey, it was my anniversary this weekend! No fancy stuff to celebrate, I was battling a respiratory infection. So, not a Whoop-de-doo celebration. Just rest and recuperation. And a lot less online stuff. I used to be a quick up-and-out person in the …

One Week to Go
And, we’re just holding our breath, praying that our Official Enemies don’t decide to launch a war. Who are the official enemies? That would be China, North Korea, Iran, along with their lesser allies – those who have not declared themselves publicly, but would be happy to jump onto the train, should they perceive the …

Perhaps a bit heartless, but perhaps not.
Just for the record, I agree with this 100%. I do not care how many people lose homes in Los Angeles. Especially in Pacific Palisades, or Malibu, or Santa Monica. Because I’ve lived in LA, I’ve been to those areas, and I know without a single doubt that damn near every single person living there, …

For Anyone Who Has Been Wondering Where I Was
When I offered to help Fran with this blog, I set up a separate email account for it. Then, promptly forgot that I had done so. I reactivated it today, and have been working to take care of business. If you’re having problems with commenting/registration, I’ll be looking into it this week. I can only …

The Future of Books
I was catching up on some feeds, and I ran across this – about how information is moving to a “Packetized” format. What is a packet? It’s the organization of some information into a small package/format, that can be quickly disseminated to a wide audience. For example, the news used to be in newspapers, tabloids, …

How Can Men Of Decency Not Be Angry Beyond Measure?
Yes, I’m still fuming of over the commutations of death penalty in the name of the President of these United States. And in the process, those in authority had the audacity to claim it was in keeping with religious faith as if they themselves wouldn’t like to kill off so many more of us today. …

Miscellaneous Stuff
Here’s a link to some worthy quotes, many of which I had not seen before. It’s been a strange Christmas season, so far. At Thanksgiving, my grandson (taking a semester in Iowa) was diagnosed with pneumonia. The campus was one day away from shutting down, and that included dining services. We all rushed around, sending …

Worth your time
I’ve seen clips of Shawn Ryan’s show for a while now, but this is the first time I’ve ever stopped what I was doing and sat through an entire episode. Fr. Dan Reehil is an exorcist here in the United States, and listening to him describe his job is like having Einstein explain math to …

ONE Change That Will Have Wide-Ranging Impacts
If, as some think, the federal income tax will be abolished, there will be MANY industries affected. Among them include: The entire accounting industry. That portion of what they do for those whose only contact with them is filing taxes once a year will likely just about disappear. If there is no federal income tax, …

Daniel Penny Found Not Guilty
On the second, and last count. This is good news for him, and scary news for the rest of NYC. The expectation is that the ‘Peaceful, but Fiery’, Outbursts of Calls for Just-Us will commence by the weekend. Well, the Leftists have to have some time to organize these spontaneous outbursts.

Crazy Conspiracies
I’m not one to spend a lot of time correcting people. Unless I have personal knowledge to the contrary, or the misstatement/claim/lie is particularly bad, I tend to think Bull$hit, and move on. But this truly irritates me. Vox Populi, one of those “I’m SUCH an Ultra Male, that when I pontificate, don’t even QUESTION …

The Tantalizing Lure of Gnosis
Knowledge is Power. A little Knowledge is a dangerous thing – which implies that Greater Knowledge is not. Education is the Key to a Good Life. We’ve all heard similar sound bites before – all of them glorify knowledge as the most important aim of humanity. One of the slurs against Christianity is that it …

I’m on it, Fran
I just read a previous post from yesterday, in which Francis laments the death of his laptop, and asks Ragin Dave and I to carry on. I’m typing this from bed. I woke in the middle of the night with digestive upset, and, feeling a little light-headed, went back to bed. I briefly climbed out …

Gearing up for the big meal
We’ve invited some friends and neighbors to come over for Thanksgiving. One of those families is a clan of Vikings from up the road. And I mean this literally. The dad is 6’5″, and not a single one of his family is under six feet tall. Even his teenage daughters. We’re expecting more than a …

Forcing AI To Work For You, Not The System
The other day I simply couldn’t recall the name Hydroxychloroquine. So I did a Brave search. “Off-label drugs to treat Covid.” Neither Ivermectin (IVN) nor Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) turned up. So I tried “two off-label drugs to treat Covid.” Again, only the System approved drugs turned up, and neither were “off-label” to boot. So I then …

In Societies Open To Repentants, Schemers Lose A Major Cudgel
The following Tucker video exemplifies a solution to a problem I repeatedly bemoan. When the number of handles is few, a single or multiple slanders are given life, amplified by all the vassals of the schemers. In an unforgiving society, too many are ready to presume that where there is smoke there MUST be fire. …

Not Just the Russians…
…Chinese. Before you poo-poo this, remember that sworn enemies can act in concert to achieve a mutual goal. Just as Germany and Russia made a pact with each other, is it possible that Russia and China have joined forces to both weaken the United States and their allies in the EU? Sure seems like it …

Some of the music that helped form me.
I don’t know why I can’t embed it. I blame my lake of skill, as well as the fact that I tend to loathe modern technology, which probably explains my lack of skill. But… Go have a listen. I grew up with classical music, big band, and jazz from my father. When we moved to …

Home Again, Icing My Knees
I went to PT today – my knees are REALLY feeling it. My Dear Husband brought me two ice packs, bless him. I saw this on Don Surber’s Substack site – www.donsurber.substack.com. Click the link – I swear it’s worth it. The week since the election has been the most relaxing in YEARS. And, the …
