That was the title of Chapter 15, page 39, of a book I wrote (started in 1985), before, but finished and published in 1992, after it happened, and that was when the Soviets went bust, and communism was dead.  “I Hold These Truths,” is the book’s title, and here is paragraph one.  “Anything written about […]

Before I go any further, World War Two, had several phrases and idioms, one of which was “Kilroy Was Here,” and you have to be ancient like me, to remember that one.  Another, was “SNAFU” which meant “Situation normal, all f…k.d up,” which stood for ‘forced unwanted carnal knowledge.’  The Japanese were “Japs,” Germans were […]

This is a true story, and it happened last week.  I was sitting in my easy chair, reading the Wall Street Journal, and the phone rang.  “Are you the guy who deals in gold and silver?” “Yes, what can I do for you?” The conversation went on for a long time, but it turns out […]

Silver, has become a hot item for Colorado Gold.  Why has silver become so popular?  Probably, because compared to gold, it is sort of “cheap,” since the ratio is 90.69 to one.  In other words, one ounce of gold, will buy, the price equivalent of 90.69 ounces of silver.  Since the historic ratio between the […]

Ever wonder how many stores there are, or how many restaurants, gas stations, tractor-trailers, there are?  I often do.   I just looked it up.  There are 160,000 gas stations in America, over two million tractor-trailers in America with 300,000 on the road at any one time, and there are 660,000 restaurants in America, employing […]

You know the end, I am certain.  “The Full Faith and Credit of the United States Government.”  That sums it up, in ten words.  Last time I checked, my credit score was 815, meaning that anyone wanting to see if I am worthy of credit, that number says it all.  I wonder what the credit […]

Life is full of measurements.  Life may exist without measurements, but without them, life and civilizations even, would not be healthy, friendly, or in way convenient. Just imagine a life without temperature degrees for the weather, cooking, baking, boiling, car engine, or even body temperature, to determine one’s health or whether one has recovered from […]

I want to cover a couple of things here, and the first is Ukraine.  I think it may be too late.  Here’s a quote from a Charles Krauthammer column of March 28, 2014.  About eight years ago!  Obama was in office.  “Russia should be no match for the American superpower.  Yet, under this president, Russia […]

There has rarely been a delay in delivering for what our customers order and pay. The silver delay, is because there is a lack of mint capacity to manufacture it.  Our supplier’s mint in Indiana, is working 24/7, and the delay, is as long as a couple of months. If there is a shortage of […]

 There have been a rash of shootings of late, and last weekend, there were more.  To Buffalo and Uvalde, have been added Philadelphia, New York, Chattanooga, and others.  Naturally, the liberals and Democrats are writing new gun laws they will attempt to pass.  Nothing new here.  Maybe I can help them, if they read this.
