I recently sat in my favorite easy chair, and looked around, thinking of the origins of all the things I know so well. The furniture, wall paper, carpet, kitchen, windows, furnace, laundry equipment, plumbing, garage doors, concrete, central air conditioning, cars, trucks, art, refrigerator, 80” TV, DVD’s, telephones, computers, food, beds, dishes, sterling silver flatware, […]

First of all, the ‘Fed’ as it is called, is not federal, and has no reserves. It was formed under rather obtuse and shady circumstances in 1914, and the first ‘fed’ or national bank, was dissolved by President Andrew Jackson.

The other morning, shown on Turner Classic Movies, was one of the all time great comedies made In 1938, titled, “You Can’t Take It With You,” staring Jimmy Stewart, who in 1938, was a pretty young guy! When I lived in Philadelphia, I was a member of “Old Academy Players,” and I played the part […]

How nice of President Trump to not allow any tax on tips! Or for that matter, how many candidates for president have promised to cut taxes? Most. Why not? It’s merely a way of purchasing votes.

Sunday had our pastor doing a patriotic sermon and we had a song fest, beginning with a flag salute, […]

Nikola Tesla was born July 9, 1856, at Lika, Croatia. Son of Reverend Milutin and Djouka Tesla. Both were way above average in intelligence, which intellect was easily passed onto their four children. At the age of four, Nikola built a water wheel, and from then on, became a problem to his parents, because he […]

The second is war. Both bring a temporary (and […]

President Trump has created a savings account for small children, to teach them to save, and so far over six million have signed up. Each child’s account will have $1,000 in it. That’s $6 billion, and as usual, it will be paid by government, and you in the form of ever decreased dollar value. I […]

I cannot help it! A letter to the editor in the Journal, published July 8th, was titled, “The Socialist Threat Is Real.” the letter says it succinctly; however the letter writer overlooks its true origin. “The Democratic Party’s current socialism didn’t emerge in a vacuum.
