Look at a satellite map at night, and see the bright lights all over the world. Except Venezuela and North Korea anyway, whose countries are as black as the surrounding night. Both are ruled by low IQ dictators who have bedazzled much of their populations and of course their militaries who obey in lock step. […]
It’s a rather bold statement I admit, but just go back 85 years, and try to picture what was NOT going on then. No Social Security, no Medicaid, Medicare, Section 8 housing, public housing, food stamps, or handouts of any kind to anyone. People worked for what they got, and there was no welfare of […]
Written by Rick Mathes, a well-known leader in prison ministry. "The Muslim religion is the fastest growing religion per capita in the U S, especially in the minority races. Not the Catholics, not the Mormons. Last month I attended my annual training session that's required for maintaining my state prison security clearance. During the training session there was […]
It’s all the rage now, and it seems impossible to avoid mention of it. It’s something never before heard of until Donald Trump was elected, and that is “Fake News.” Before the Trump election, the very idea of fake news was not considered, and wasn’t even in the common English lexicon. After all, don’t […]
( I’m ambivalent about Trump’s Syria strike) Do you have a ‘concealed permit’ to carry a gun? I don’t. Where, in the Second Amendment are there instructions for government to issue such a permit? Where, in our Constitution, does it require a gun owner to pass a mental exam or to take instructions about their […]
( I didn’t write this. It is a letter to Waco Texas Tribune) Put me in charge of food stamps. I’d get rid of Lone Star Cards: No cash for Ding Dong’s or Ho Ho’s, just money for 50 pound bags of rice and beans, blocks of cheese, and all the powdered milk you can […]
For many long years, Republicans swore about, derided, maimed, and campaigned against the health care act, known as “Obamacare,” which was passed and made into law, without a single Republican vote. Republicans passed bills abolishing it many times, obviously without success. Trump and all Republican candidates, ran on a platform of abolishing it, and replacing […]
After the Revolution, when the newly formed United States was in operation, it is quite obvious that we were formed by refugees from foreign lands. When the Founders fought Mother England, it was because of heavy taxation and rules which became intolerable. A similar situation happened when the UK voted to leave the European Union. […]
President Donald Trump woke up one day last week, and tweeted that Obama had hacked into his phone during the campaign. That started another media frenzy, which will probably not die down in the near future. I say, “So what?” I am certain that thousands of telephones have been hacked, with or without knowledge of […]
“The Arctic Ocean is warming up, icebergs are growing scarcer, and in some places the seals are finding the water too hot, according to a report to the Commerce Department yesterday, from the Consulate at Bergen Norway. Reports from fishermen, seal hunters and explorers, all point to a radical change in climate conditions and hitherto […]
