I built America’s first non-smoking restaurant in 1975, in Phoenix, and it’s remains are still there I think. At any rate, one time a familiar face came in, and I immediately recognized him as Kaigh Deigh, from “The Manchurian Candidate.” He was later WoFat in some other TV show (Hawaii Five O”?), which I […]
I voted for him, even though he is no true conservative or libertarian. Maybe I voted for him because of Sarah Palin, I don’t know, but it was with misgivings. Now he’s done it again, to point out his love of big government. No wonder he’ll probably lose his bid for re-election in an […]

Please then, let me ask you, why store your assets in fading dollars? Since the Demos have greatly enlarged the deficit, which was started […]
My opinion, is that most Amendments after the first ten, do harm to America. Take the 17th, as a classic example. The 17th, passed in 1913, the same year as the Income Tax (16th) and Federal Reserve, reads as follows: “The Senate of the United States shall be composed of two Senators from each […]
I’ve written before about the incredible damage being done to our country by entrenched politicians. With this column, I’m going to delve into a partial explanation of what I believe is happening. Hopefully, you’ll pass this along to those who may still believe that their Representative or Senator is doing well by them, because […]
That is one of the most common questions asked of myself, son David, and daughter Melissa. Next week? Who knows? Next year? Is the Pope a Catholic? Will the sun rise tomorrow? Will water seek its own level? A year from now, you won’t believe how high it could and will go. Here’s a […]
The Spanish Dollar was also known as the ’piece of eight,’ because it was worth eight Spanish reales. First made in 1497, and discontinued in 1857, it became the basis for the Canadian dollar, U.S. dollar, the Chinese yaun, and a host of South American currencies.
