The unfortunate crash of AMTRAK train # 188, is inexcusable. I happen to be knowledgeable railroad buff-fan-expert, or what have you, and I know that track. Trains leave Philly’ ’s 30th St. Station, and head in a northwest direction, basically following the Schuylkill river. Next it passes the Philly zoo, and then "Zoo Tower," where the track […]
A quick post office horror story; actually two related stories: A customer who regularly sells through us called me about a week after I’d sent his check out. He was rightfully concerned about the status of his payment and I checked my records and saw that the check had indeed been sent out a week […]
Slavery in any form is an awful thing. From an American perspective, the period where blacks were held as slaves, and bought and sold like cattle remains the worst stain on our existence, in my opinion. I can imagine from a black person’s perspective it must be worse! Even after slavery officially ended, being told […]
The tens of thousands who have and still are trying to leave Africa for Europe, are a sad sight. Hundreds drowned a couple of weeks ago when hundreds went to one side of the creaky ship, causing it to capsize.Hundreds of others drown, and Christians are thrown overboard by Muslims. In America, hundreds of illegals […]
There is no doubt that income inequality is a huge and growing problem in the USA. The middle class is absolutely critical to our country’s success and the wages for Middle American have been falling for over a decade. I could reel off stat after stat that proves the point, but there needs to be […]
The latest war America is involved in, is at Yemen. Of course, it’s a classic case of the Sunnis fighting the Shiites, which no one will admit to, because if it were admitted that it is none of our business, Gee!, think of the damage to the arms and ammo industry. I hope they’re still […]
There will ALWAYS be winners and losers. As much as the liberals would love to be able to wish it away, there will always be the underachiever and the achiever. As much as the government would like us to believe their efforts will level the playing field, there is only so much that can be […]
The latest outrage by the Al Sharpton groupies, is for mass demonstrations and violence, protesting cops shooting blacks. It all began when an 18 year old husky black guy, (Brown), who had just completed robbing a convenience store, tried to take a gun from a police officer in his car, causing injuries to the policeman, […]
Highway paving and repair, is a process which is done by towns, counties, states, and even the federal government. We all drive on the results. Few ever think about the various types of paving, but believe me, there are great differences! Concrete is probably the longest lived, and if done smoothly, is wonderful, and will […]
I’m convinced 90% of politicians, be they your local alderman, or US congressman or senator, are the wrong people for the job. The modern day politician cares nothing about what’s best for his/her country in the long term, only what they believe will get them reelected to the next term or to the next higher […]
