Larry sat at the polished walnut conference table, his wife seated beside him and beaming with excitement. There would be these final agonizing moments here inside the title company and they would take possession of their first home. There were three others seated around the table; the att…

  Titus 2:1-15 reveals something beautiful that we can sometimes forget as we go along in our busy lives. As older women, some of us have become accomplished, educated, experienced, etc., and there is much we have to offer others. A barrier is there is a cloud of deception in the air, and not o…

I might not believe in god but I reckon Jesus was a real historical figure. He is mentioned (briefly) in Roman historical documents from that time as being the leader of a small Jewish cult.   However I am not so much interested in the spiritual or religious aspects of Jesus as to his politics.…

What if DC did not win the civil war. How would the world have looked? So let's go back to 1862 when a Confederate Soldier carrying order # 191 (play on 9/11?) was shot and the orders fell into Union hands: The American Civil War and Order # 191- the invasion of Pennsylvania A special order to …

      I watched that doc yesterday on Youtube, and, you see, I'm not shocked or touched easily. But I had to stop watching and forget my dinner (I planned to eat some pork chops). When I was in Mazatlàn, Mexico, 1980, I had a wild pig as a "watch dog". They grow BIG and can ch…

Here is a question for you: Who has the authority to define sin and morality? Recently, Apple CEO Tim Cook (who in 2014 declared "I'm proud to be gay" and become the first openly homosexual CEO of a Fortune 500 company) received the Anti-Defamation Leagues' first ever Courage Against Hate Award for …

My father told me that on the island he was born on the people under Teto, communist Yugoslavia, complain about when the STATE is going to take the rock out of the road, likely in the middle of the village. The state said they would take responsibility for the roads, all the services of the village.…

Take a serious look at both sides of the debate (it's painful reading sceptical stuff when you instinctively reject it). I went to all the usual climate alarmist blogs and asked questions evidently I shouldn't have been asking. I was met with a barrage of abuse for even asking them, really nasty stu…

I mean, seriously. Setting aside religious differences. What do they do as a group?   The work hard, invest, make good decisions, educate their children and raise them in close families with 2 parent homes and they go out and succeed in the business world. we should be reading their success man…

Oregon On Track To Statewide Rent Control  reads the headline. Meanwhile, the 30 plus years resident Oregon single mother who has worked all her life without welfare as a first responder and more recently in Oregon Department of Social Services is looking towards her retirement. She has no…

We live in a world that appears to be a bit unhinge.  Our social justice warriors have taken us beyond any means of what is fair and appropriate.  Instead we now supposedly live in a world of predators and victims, with now unintended consequences.   Example one transgender rights whe…

China’s emergence as a world power, since the 1990s, has been done by improving the lives of over a billion people outside of China. China’s OBOR (One Belt One Road) system is hard wiring Eurasia and uplifting key nations in the Islamic world (Pakistan, Iran, and Turkey) to fir…

Basic economics.   I didn’t learn this from a text, I didn’t learn it from a class, I learned it from being in business dealing with other businesses for over forty years.   You can look around the world. Every prosperous wealthy country shares one characteristic that no poor c…

When I first read the bare details of that vicious, racist, sexist, anti-Semitic, homophobic attack on Z-list black hebe fag actor Jussie Smollett, I laughed out loud. OK, let me get this straight....soooo, two white MAGA-hooting Trump goons decided to go out at 2 in the morning during a brutally co…

Currently in the US we are in the throws of another "maga" attack hoax.  After the high school kid that was supposedly taunting an Indian (with no job and many addictions) while banging his drum.   In this latest caper a "C" list celebrity by the name of Jessie Smallette claimed two white …

    Just watched Putin's "Address to the Nation" on RT today. And - Putin is right. I know that here, on a US site, people will call me a commie or socialist again without using geostrategic knowledge but based on hearsay, old prejudices, MSM propaganda, or because they sent their sons …

Years ago I was trying to understand why so much inflation. Why my father could buy a beautiful new car with bells on it at $5,000 and my car cost $30,000. Why my first new home cost under $50,000 and now was $200,000. The article was quite lengthy , so I can up with this fast quick version to help …

If I were in charge of things, I would have more enemies than Donald Trump.  I would discriminate against everyone equally.  I would start with the budget and eliminate deficit spending.  Last year’s revenues would be this year’s budget limit.  This would infuriate ev…

Models. Supermodels. Actresses. Oh, I meant actors. Beauty pageant contestants. Besides being female, vain, and gold-digging whores and prostitutes, they also increasingly have another thing in common. Most of them are ugly enough to scatter a leper colony. Like everything else these days, the ugly …

Debts are issued in the present to consume resources in the present that would have otherwise been "still in the ground" for generations to come. So not only do we rob future generations of their wealth, we rob them of the future resources that would be available to generate such wealth.   If c…

A bizarre start to a Thursday evening. Chicago, southwest, undisclosed location. Cold as fuck. I sat in the back seat of some ubiquitous crossover of unknown manufacture, what passes for a sedan with four doors and a hatchback. I am there with a couple of local associates of a sometime associate of …

Quick post here. Saw a documentary yesterday about the effect of cannabis (marijuana) in fighting cancer.    I was very skeptical but the guy was talking to actual people doing this. Marijuana can be prescribed along with Chemotherapy to help with the effects of Chemo. So that is how this …
