A couple of wannabe Republican Presidential candidates, over the years, have vowed to eliminate the federal Department of Education if elected. Unfortunately, they didn’t win. Education is big business! As a matter of fact, the web site of the Department of Education has a place to click, which describes the possibilities of “Doing business with […]
On Sunday, Senator Judd (on CNN), said that America was going to turn into a “Banana Republic,” unless the economic situation under Obama changed. This raises the question: What is a Banana Republic? The dictionary definition doesn’t really fit, as a banana republic is usually a Hispanic country with a single crop, and bad […]
This was written by my son David Recently, a study was done which showed that Americans disapprove of the job Congress is doing, by a 4 to 1 margin. I suspect it’s been about that for decades, but the more I thought about it, the more aggravated I became. Why? because, even though 80% of […]
Why do I write these? I guess because I think I have something important to say, and I am not a well known writer, even though tens of thousands read each column. To sell gold and silver? Only indirectly. If thousands are intelligent enough to read my stuff, and realize that it is not […]
I’ll write a column. Just walked in the door after traveling probably 13,000 miles and cruising over 4,000 miles. We were in Barcelona, Monaco, Florence, Rome, Pisa, Naples, Pompeii, Ephesus, Istanbul, and Venice, and took tours in all of them. Yesterday, we flew from Venice to Denver, and were in the air for close […]
Obama and his ’progressives’ may have destroyed America or the economy in the next two weeks, but I won’t be here. We’re leaving at 6 AM Wednesday morning (9/23) for Barcelona Spain, where we will board the Ruby Princess for a 12 day cruise around the Mediterranean. While I am gone, Melissa and David […]
Obama and his ’progressives’ are doing everything they can to down play and pooh pooh all the latest Acorn videos and health reforms. (I am sure that since they were made in August, there are a lot more.) On Fox News Wednesday morning, a white guy, former ACORN member, said that the whole thing […]
Obama continues to give speech after speech. Yesterday, at Wall Street, he called for more bureaucracy. Typical. In my opinion, he’s talking himself into certain defeat in 2012, if he lasts that long. Many of his Democrats, will be defeated next year. Obama is perhaps the most secretive person ever to hold public office. […]
This is thanks to Jack S. Who forwarded it to me from Bill S. Who its original author is, I do not know, but it hits the spot! (I did a bit of editing). (1) The US Postal Service was established in 1775. You have had 234 years to get it right. It’s broke. […]
This is further proof that both Republicans and Democrats are, to put it kindly, totally ignorant of some of life’s basic facts, and even common sense. Both sides want it to be compulsory for insurance companies to be forced to insure people with “pre-existing conditions.” Think about that one, with just a grain of […]
