…the craftier they get in finding new ways to cheat. It’s a moving target – and, like Charlie Brown, we fall for it just about every time. The trouble is, we expect most people to be like us – mostly honest. And, that is true – for MOST of us. But, it is not true …

The 7.3 Billion Dollar, er, Person Question
—– OK, most of us have seen the above picture and know at least the outline of the story behind that monument. There are several things in the construction of this edifice that truly set my personal alarm claxons off: Nobody knows where the money for this came from. The identity of the financiers is …

This Needs to Stop
But, given the culture in the Modern Democratic Party, will not – as long as the *Resident, and much of Congress and the Senate, are in thrall to China and other countries. I’ve long been around Asians (Chinese, Japanese, Indian, and other Asian groups). It’s pretty much the standard today in STEM fields. Most are …

Pearls of expression.
In a “60 Minutes” interview the devious duo [Bill and Hillary] was trying to spin their way out of Jennifer Flowers tattling on her long-term affair with Bill. . . . Bill and Hill were supposed to come off as a normal, wholesome, devoted-to-each-other married couple instead of the more accurate picture that was coming …

Two narratives about Franken-19.
Raúl Ilargi Meijer nicely contrasts the control/manipulation v. common sense thinking about The Virus: “A Tale of Two Narratives.” By Raúl Ilargi Meijer, The Automatic Earth, 7/27/21. I still find the deception and malevolence behind the control narrative astonishing. It’s a great tragedy that such an infestation of evil thinking occurred in the United States …

The giant middle finger from the toads.
The passage of the Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act of 2005 was a classic demonstration of how America works, or doesn’t, depending on your point of view. While we focus on differences between Republicans and Democrats, it’s their uncanny habit of having just a sliver of enough agreement to pass crucial industry-friendly bills …

Quick Takes
One: The Left ruins everything it touches —– —– Our host tipped me off to this piece up about the “wokification” and corrupting of Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings which was, actually, the first true long and weighty piece of literature I ever read. In that tip our host stated (italics in original): The trend …

A giant uncontrolled experiment.
I have the feeling that the story about Covid and the vaccines is about to change dramatically . . . . That is, we will be moving from “the vaccines will save you” to “the vaccines may kill you”. And I don’t mean through unintentional and unfortunate adverse effects, though those are bad enough, and …

Collection of Covid Info
All links are presented “as is” and I make no guarantee for the accuracy / truthfulness of any. However, as a pattern of what I’ve been observing, all the links presented here – and yes, I leave many I read out (believe it or not!) – seem to me to fit into a unified and …

A Quick Alert
I’m heading out of town for a few days. The Lord of the Manor will be staying behind, this trip. We’re still trying to nail down a house: That we can afford without dipping into our retirement funds, and that will not require a bridge loan. That is big enough to give us some space, …

A concept more honored in the breach of it.
Lead Engineer: It is obvious now that the intelligence agencies are now doing more to undermine the country than to protect it. These agencies need to have a top to bottom process engineering review to see what the objectives are, how work is being managed and who is working on what. Anyone and anything not …

Pearls of expression — covid edition.
Why these [totalitarian] measures when the HCQ and Ivermectin cures are available and when the deaths and cases claimed for Covid were exaggerated in order to increase fear? Why are dissenting scientists and medical professionals silenced? The entire “pandemic” has been conducted outside the realm of evidence. That should tell you that very much is …

Quick Takes
As I attempt – between work, kidlings, and a micromanaging wife with a metastasizing honeydew/”I want” list heedless of my own job and our budget – to put the finishing touches on a couple of substantive posts so I’m happy with them and the conclusions reached I thought I’d dash out a few things lumped …

Some Thoughts on the Activism of Female-Composed Groups
They really do act differently than majority-male groups.

Pretty amazing.
But the plot thickened once German authorities realized that Franco A.’s fingerprints matched exactly those of the Syrian immigrant, David Benjamin. They then realized Franco A. and David Benjamin were one and the same person. “German army officer led double life as Syrian immigrant, planned to kill politicians.” By Joseph Fitsanakis, Intelnews.org, 5/21/21.

Lest We Forget
I know that recessions are painful – boy, do I know that! I’ve lived through decades with multiple downs to the economy. Sometimes, we would just dig ourselves out of the last downturn, only to get smacked in the face with the next one. What changed? The economy got better. We didn’t use that to …

A Super Great Morning
I got up early, texted a friend who was planning on doing POTA (Parks on the Air) and – after a quick Bojangles breakfast (I am NOT a barbarian!) – joined her at K-2883 – Andrew Jackson State Park, just outside of my city. It was a beautiful morning – not cold, but very comfortable …
