I was having lunch with Bonnie, my wife, Saturday, in a local Thai restaurant, and a man and his wife took a table near us. They looked prosperous, but ’liberal.’ Know what I mean? I really believe that liberals have a certain look, which I can’t describe, but it is there. Then, we began […]
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 […]
I am as disgusted as anyone with the performance of Obama. He appears to be worse than we expected him to be. He runs over the Constitution with abandon, and seizes powers never allowed him by that sacred document, and his Democrats and 8 Republicans allow it. At my tender age of 75, I […]
The ’Two Guys,’ are both construction workers, probably in California, often called “Mexifornia,” for obvious reasons. One of the guys, Joe, is a legal American. The other guy, Jose, is an illegal from Mexico. He came here for a better life style, and probably has his wife and several kids with him. Joe, the […]
Do you remember that in my last column, I mentioned a book by Joe Scarborough, titled “The Last Best Hope?” I have finished it and in turn loaned it to a friend. Parts of this column will be quotes from pages 213, and 214. The quotes will show how, in my opinion anyway, there […]
Do you admire a bank that has the most branches, the company that sells the most widgets, or the largest pizza chain in the world? Ah! To be the biggest! I actually don’t like the biggest in anything. I like the small, individually owned restaurant, the individually owned bank with a five star rating, […]
The latest figure is 48,000,000. Not dollars. Not the unemployed. Not the deficit. 48,000,000 Americans who are uninsured. No medical insurance. Now, isn’t that terrible? Doesn’t it give one nightmares? Funny, but I can sleep at night in spite of the figure. Obama and his Democrat stooges plus probably a lot of Republicans also, […]
The dictionary defines “invest,” as, “To put (money) into business, real estate, stocks, bonds, etc. for the purpose of obtaining an income or profit.” This is the objection many have, when advised to ’invest’ in gold and silver. “Gold doesn’t pay any interest.” True, and I am well aware of that. However, when someone […]
