I certainly hope not! However, signs extant in Ukraine alone, not to mention other hot spots around the world, make it is obvious, that two major nations have sided with each other. Both are communist, and both have decided they want to rule the world, together or separately. Putin and Xi, are buddies, and will […]

Among the general power of Congress are, “To exercise like Authority over all Places purchased by the Consent of the Legislature of the State in which the same shall be, for the Erection of Forts, Magazines, Arsenals, dock-Yards, and other needful Buildings.”- Article 1, section 8, clause 17. Get the point? The ONLY lands authorized […]

Far too many people think that government GIVES freedom, rather than taking it from us, as is the case. I love the 4th of July, with all the red, white and blue decorations, fireworks, and patriotism everywhere. The 4th of July, is a celebration of 1776, when the Founders read the birth of freedom from […]

OLD VERSION The ant works hard in the withering heat, all summer long, building its house and storing food for the winter. The grasshopper thought the ant was a fool, and laughed and danced, gave no thought to the future, and played the summer away. Come winter, the ant is home, warm and well fed. […]

I wrote about it over 15 years ago, and I have recently begun to wonder why there have been no efforts to abolish it, since it has never been accurately followed. I’ve changed a few things, but this piece is important. The 17th Amendment was ratified April 8, 1913, and the 16th income tax Amendment […]

I wrote about it over 15 years ago, and I recently saw it on Turner Classic Movies. I changed the previous column in several ways, but it was still a great film and story! A kid’s movie? A child’s story? Was it that simple? Maybe not. Frank Baum wrote the story, and it was first […]

“What do you mean? This ship is un-sinkable. It’s got every single up-date possible, to make it fast safe, and enjoyable. I king you.” I’ve seen the three really good films about the Titanic, (the best one is in black and white and I think 1953), and went to a Titanic show a few years […]

It doesn’t look good, at least to me. I voted for Trump, sent him money, and his promises to seal the borders and shrink the government, gave him a literal ‘landslide.’ The landslide, was because he won so many states, even though he only got five million more votes than Biden. He got them in […]

“My dear Colonel Dick: I have long determined to make public the origin of the greenback, and tell the world it was Dick Taylor’s creation. I think it was in January, 1862, on or about the 16th, that I did so. You came, and I said to you: ”What can we do?” Said you, “Why […]

For over a hundred years, the French used the livre as a currency. It was not backed by gold, but since a good deal of France was owned by the Catholic Church and the nobility, it didn’t really matter. The serfs and groveling peasants got sick of the corrupt rule, and by means of protesting, […]
