Honestly, I can think for myself, and can easily write about my ideas and thoughts, but when a Journal piece comes around and explains what we’ve all wondered about, it just has to be a column! Ever wonder why college graduates seem to turn out to be blazing liberals, in direct opposition to the way […]
The Chairman of China Mao, (1893-1976), killed 65 million, and when he died, left China as probably the poorest, most underdeveloped, enslaved, nation on earth. There was no industry, food, or civilization, and China was literally starving. It was hopeless, to put it mildly. There were no Chinese students in America, and no American or […]
The GDP stands for the ‘Gross Domestic Product,’ and basically stands for what government and citizens buy and sell, or how many dollars have changed hands. This statistic is supposed to tell us how good or bad our economy is. If we buy a lot and sell a lot, that is supposed to be good, […]
The 10,000 ton ship “Tilawa” was built in 1924. She was a coal fired, passenger liner, had a crew of 220, and of the 732 passengers on board, most were saved, after a Jap sub sank her in November of 1942. A tragedy, and a Microscopic version of the hundreds of millions of tons of […]
Ever watch the commercials for prescription drugs on TV? After telling everyone how wonderful they are, and the models telling one and all, how their hot flashes are a thing of the past, they lost 40 pounds, sleep well, think well, have no more indigestion, have great sex, run a mile, swim laps, and a […]
“Money,” can be described as a device used to purchase something, or perhaps a compact way to store something valuable or something which represents a valuable item. Stock, is a microscopic ownership in a corporation, and I say ‘microscopic,’ because as an example, there are over a billion shares of GM in circulation or ownership […]
“Blind Pigs,” was just another name for “Speakeasies.” Prohibition was perhaps just as disgusting as are the illegal drugs today. No, I haven’t done any drugs and never will, because I want to keep my mind intact, but then I have never been drunk either for the same reason. A nip of good bourbon over […]
The following is a direct quote from a Wall Street Journal editorial page on Wednesday, April 30, 2025. “President Trump says his tariffs may raise enough revenue to replace the income tax, so who is he afraid to let Americans see what they’re paying? Instead of owning its policy, the White House has bullied Amazon […]
That’s part of a headline from Friday’s Journal on page B-10. The following are direct quotes from that piece, and I cannot disagree, or quarrel with any of it. “Gold has once again proven its nettle as a hedge against financial chaos, but it could soon also be outshined by that other, but less-adored precious […]
We are all excited about Trump’s bringing factories back to America! My question is, Can it work? In China, the average Shanghai factory worker gets $370 U.S. dollars per month in Shanghai, which are the highest rates in China. In other areas it is lower. In America, an average U.S. factory worker, makes $48,945 a […]
