This “Uncle Scam” series will end now with this one, because I don’t want to bore you. Let’s consider Afghanistan and Libya. Both total absurdities, and both guaranteed to make Arabs and Muslims hate us. We’ve been in Afghanistan for ten long years, with nothing accomplished, other than spending hundreds of billions of dollars, killing […]
This “Uncle Scam” series can go on for maybe 250 episodes, but I’ll try to think of something else eventually. Meantime, one of the most glaring of Uncle Scam’s iniquities, is the fact that he refuses to accept the horrendous damage he has done to everyone of us. How? By refusing to admit that […]
New Orleans suffered $75 billion in flood damages when 1995’s Hurricane Katrina struck. As usual, the media portrayed it as a record storm, doing record damage. The second is correct, but as far as being a record storm, forget it. Katrina came ashore as a category one, and airport wind speed was 98 Miles […]
There is a nest of scalawags, which headquarters are in Washington D.C.. These scalawags have convinced an entire nation of 300 million, that their deeds, legislation, utterances, and purposes, are of the highest order and righteousness. They are Republicans, Democrats, a President, Cabinet, plus thousands of bureaucrats and federal employees whose numbers multiply like […]
England and Scotland are absolutely beautiful. Charming little towns, huge cathedrals a thousand years old, and I am glad we took the tour. But I was shocked at their economic situation, and it is so easy to compare theirs to ours. British gasoline is $9-$10 per gallon, and they drive around in these tiny […]
Just got back from England and Scotland, as you all know. Made a few discoveries, in addition to having a great time and seeing wonderful scenery and life styles. Will talk about them in future columns, but the main one, is that most manufacturing has left Britain and Scotland, as it has here, only […]
Obama’s wanting to subsidize so-called ’green’ industries and power generation, made me think about the obvious, and that is: ANY SUBSIDY IS AN ATTEMPT TO RIGHT A FAILURE. Should this be Stott’s law # 2? Now, think about all of the subsidies there are. Subsidies are everywhere! The first example is at anyone’s home. […]
There have been literally hundreds of revolutions in history, probably beginning when the Jews revolted against Rome, or even before in China possibly. The Scots revolted against the Brits several times, as have the Irish. The Philippines revolted against the Spanish several times, and in 1848, there were revolts and revolutions all around the […]
The government is out of control, with debts, interest, and bureaucracy, killing us. All true. How can we, as a nation, survive? It won’t be easy, that’s for sure, and for America to be saved, many will have to suffer. I think I have devised a plan which will save America with the least […]
The work ethic, is one of Americans’ best characteristics and assets. It comes from our Founders’ wanting no kings or absolute rulers to worship, and pay homage and taxes to, for some mythical ’protection.’ Americans, in days of yore, had to make it by themselves or fail by themselves, with no help from other […]
