I call Walmarts “China Marts” because everything they sell, seems to be made in China. It wasn’t always that way. When Walmart founder, Sam Walton lived, (1918-1992), he bought American. I have a first edition of a book titled simply “Sam Walton.” (Dutton 1990). I am going to quote from parts of a few […]
We are asked or told, constantly it seems: ’Why should I buy gold or silver? I can’t spend it at the grocery store or gas station?’ Of course you can’t, and neither can you spend stocks, bonds, or CDs at the super market or gas station, hardware store, or Walmart. You need dollars. We […]
I was listening to an NPR report from some official in Maryland, who was listing the various military and government installations located in her state. Dozens of them! She was afraid that the money for them, which she thought benefitted her state, may be cut with the 85 new members of the House, soon […]
“Tis the season to be jolly.” So, will I bemoan the failed Republican votes in the historic lame duck session? Will I say that the bad Republican votes were contrary to voter’s wishes? Absolutely not, even though it is true. Will I say that Jesus wasn’t born on Christmas, and that .the wise men […]
Failed Amendment? In our Constitution? I think so. Consider Section One of the 20th: “The Terms of the President and Vice President shall end at noon on the 20th day of January, and the terms of Senators and Representatives at noon on the third day of January…” The time between electing a new Congress, […]
You want our votes mister Senator? Without our votes, you can’t possibly be elected, you know. Want us to vote for you, Mr. House member? Without our votes, you can’t possibly win, and we all know how much you love being in D.C. with that fancy office, free medical care, postage, secretarial and research […]
I’ll tell you what these numbers mean, and why the Democrats simply are so dense that they can’t get a handle on them. The first is that the top 2% of income taxpayers, spend 33% of the money. Now think about that one. They don’t have to hire anyone, or run a business. They […]
By David Stott I spent $10 to get my car washed this morning, and when it was finished, I saw that the bugs on the windshield were still there. I brought it to the attention of the workers, and they used their dry rags in a vain attempt to remove the remainder of […]
It’s Pearl Harbor Day. Fly Your Flag! Wikileaks is a catastrophe! Wikileaks puts lives in danger! Wikileaks is unbelievably horrible. So says just about everyone…except me, that is. I think it’s hilarious. Why? Because, first of all, none of it is ’classified,’ and even if it were, so what? There’s far too much secrecy […]
This is a totally true statement, although it is comparative. Locally, the hardware and jewelry stores I deal with, are owned and operated by people who do OK, but by no means could be considered “rich.” However, they are wealthier than their employees. In 99% of the cases, those who hire, have enough brains […]
