This is a question we get over and over, so I thought I’d just answer it.  (Notice that premiums of gold and silver over ’spot’ have decreased as of Wednesday!) The “Spot price” of gold and silver is at the mine, and the “spot price” of milk is at the milking station on the […]

  This is a job you can all perform.  It is of the utmost IMPORTANCE!  We’ve simply got to stop the health care bill.  The thousands of readers of my stuff can actually help to do this.  I beg you to participate!  PLEASE DO SO!  Here’s how: Go to www.house.gov/tanner/blue.htm and print it.  This is […]

  This was sent to me by Susan, and it is supposed to be from the cartoon character “Maxine,” who I can’t stand, but the following I wholeheartedly agree with, so I pass it along to you with a few changed and omissions.  The column I was going to write will have to wait! “I […]

  There were a lot of inconveniences when the Pilgrims came here and settled, not the least of which was that most of them died in the first winter!  The Jamestown Colony, a few years earlier, came out even worse.  Just imagine:  No electricity, oil, machinery, transportation, or communications, and rudimentary tools made growing things […]

  I wrote about this sometime in the past, and I’m sure you could find it in “Archives,” but I haven’t looked through 850 prior columns, so I’ll write it again.  Especially since the murderer in South Carolina, on parole, has been shot dead while robbing a home, and in this morning’s paper a 29 […]

  I don ’t know why, but the ’first hundred days,’ since FDR’s time, seems to be important in a Presidency.  So, here we go with Obama’s first hundred days.  In the first hundred days, Obama, his Democrats, and a few liberal Republicans, have: Gained control of both the mortgage and banking industries, and decided […]

  I have two favorite holidays:  Thanksgiving, and July 4th.  Both celebrate our nation, which I love.  Thanksgiving celebrates the pilgrim’s landing on our shores to get rid of Mother England and her taxes.  July 4th celebrates our freedom as a nation from Mother England and her taxes, regimentation, and harassment.  Both celebrate freedom.  Freedom […]
