I just re-read “1984” by George Orwell, who wrote it in 1949. It’s depressing, to put it mildly, although a few sentences, and even a paragraph or two make sense, and allowed me to see a few things a bit more clearly. You can’t read too many books! I read 30-40 a year, and […]
Bubbles are, basically, a ball of air, surrounded by a liquid, such as soap, or whatever, but they are certain to burst when they get so big, that the air leaves it quickly. A bubble is marvelous, can be beautiful, and in a way miraculous that a thin film can hold a big amount […]
For years, I have been harping about “Neutrality,” and I even wrote a chapter about it in a book I wrote over 20 years ago, (1998). Never, has there been a more sensible thing to do, than to be like Switzerland, and be absolutely neutral. Here’s parts of that 1998 chapter, and see if […]
Muslim males? What kind of column could this be? Maybe not a column, but some facts which were sent to me by a friend a couple of weeks ago. You digest them, and see if the facts may worry you, as they do me. 1. In 1968, Bobby Kennedy was shot and killed by […]

“The Crime of ’73,” has often been overlooked, when most regard “The Crime of ’93” as being far more important. Both are important, but we should refer to the Constitution, which says that the Congress has the power to “Coin money and regulate the value” of it. In 1792, following the advice of Alexander […]
I have never liked, nor watched commercial TV. By ’commercial,’ I mean sit coms, and stuff the networks carry endlessly. The canned laughter and shallow plots, make me ill. I watch PBS, and my favorite channel is Turner Classic Movies. I do watch History, Travel, Fox Business and Fox News, and this brings me […]
I do like to get value for dollars spent, as do you, I am certain. That’s why we buy gold and silver on dips, look for sales at the grocery store, and check gas prices, looking for cheap ones. The entire merchandise profession, businesses, retail stores, and every place we buy things, tries to offer […]
I don’t often post someone else’s writings, but parts of the following Appeared in the Las Vegas Review-Journal on April 3rd, and is by Wayne Allyn Root. I pass on some of it, and you decide for yourself. “Barack Hussein Obama is no fool. He is not incompetent. On the contrary, he is brilliant. […]
“War is the greatest plague that can afflict humanity; it destroys religion, it destroys states, it destroys families.” – Martin Luther. There are about 600,000 troops who have come home from Afghanistan and Iraq, with brain damage from concussions gotten from exploding ammunition, roadside bombs, and explosives of all types. X-rays of brains of […]
