Ever wonder what does it take to be in the 1% or the .01% in the US.  Well I've done some research.  The average income needed to be in the 1% in the US is about $450K a year, with that varying state by state.  From a low of $226K to a high of $650K.  This group consists of occup…

Adam Smith’s landmark book, Wealth of Nations, published in 1776, is a 500-plus page treatise on economics, oft cited bur rarely read, except by economists and masochists like me.  If you can overlook Smith’s sing-song style, his tediousness, repetition, generalizations, vague and …

On another WB thread, I have been having an interesting discussion with another WB contributor. It is time to put the summation of this discussion into its own article.   On one hand, the WB contributor is rightly concerned about the social issues surrounding USA's illegal immigrants. On the ot…

What was the "real" reason the electoral college was originally established? Slavery. In a direct election system, the South would have lost every time because a huge percentage of its population was slaves, and slaves couldn't vote. But an Electoral College allows states to count slaves, albeit at …

A man with a female body can conceive, give birth, and breast feed a baby. If advancements in medical technology made it possible for surgeons to transplant your head to the body of a man, would you then view yourself as a woman with a male body or would you then view yourself as a man?   Femal…

Many know absolutely nothing about how climate disruption works. There is already a certain amount of global warming baked in from the greenhouse gases we've already emitted & which will stick around in our atmosphere & oceans for decades & centuries to come. It will adversely affec…

“Politics isn’t like war.  It is war.”   President Lyndon Baines Johnson   On Nov. 8, 2016, voters rejected the status quo candidate named Hillary Clinton.  Against all odds, Donald Trump stood against the devil and spit in her eye.   This was only th…

Are horses smarter than a Democrat? I think in many cases that is correct. When I was raised it was on a small farm of 100 head of cattle and we also had two horses. My father used them for deer hunting in the fall. He would put a couple of handful of grain in a bucket and the horse would come…

The eagle is sick. Some kind of disease has infected its brain. I believe it is a parasite. I have isolated this invader called internet. It fools the brain into thinking it is alone in thinking, and doesn't need the body made of conflicts. Conflicts that require compromise to function. The left win…

WB has seen it's share of liberal males.  They are pretty easy to spot.  They are the ones who wisely parrot what the liberal schools and media sagely tell us is so, and when you disagree and point out reality and facts, proceed to call you a bigot, a homophobe, an Islamophobe, a sexist, a…

Being the longest day of the year, Mrs. Junior and I packed a picnic and took our old Golden Retriever, Chauncey, out to our private Inverness in Santa Ysabel, California.  We play a childish game to celebrate escaping the city as we drive through the cattle, sheep and goat ranches.  There…

...they think that by not allowing American citizens to own guns, it will stop radicals from killing... well, think again. Radicals WILL ALWAYS have weapons, and by taking weapons away from the rest of us, it makes TARGETS out of the young, and everywhere that armed protection is absent.   RESP…

If you're family is starving and you get arrested for shoplifting and you have your kids with you, they will be taken away from you before you get taken to into custody.  If you get busted driving under the influence your kids will be taken from you before you are taken into custody.  If y…

I was on my way to a meeting with the Army Corps of Engineers in the Green Zone. We went from Camp Victory, close to Baghdad Airport, down route Irish . We were protected by South African Mercenaries, similar to Black Water. The last armored vehicle, a modified Ford Explorer, housed a heavy machine …

I don't like demoncraps libtards. Thing is they are soooooooooooooo damn stupid and no matter what Trump does they try to spin it in a negative way, including the recent summit he had with Un. When I see some of those leftist comments sometimes shown on FOX I wanna reach in and really hurt them caus…

The subject of my high praise is but a fictional character.  Yet it was the imagination of Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra that brought to life the ingenious gentleman, Don Quixote de La Mancha.  Born in the sixteenth century, Cervantes was an avid scholar of the romanticized epics of such he…

Imagine if I bought a Hummer, a high-end, very expensive Hummer or some other very expensive vehicle only the rich can afford.  You know them… the kind of vehicles that cost as much as a small home in fly over country.   Hopefully you said… “We’ll, that’s your…

Recently, someone advocated the dissolution of the federal government of the United States, insisting that the states could manage themselves. It also suggested that the federal government has usurped power and taken away the rights of states. Let’s consider a few things.   There is no do…

Yesterday, while embarked on the usual commute, I was almost killed by a large SUV that was kamikazically-driven by a Barbie Doll-like hot blonde floozy that ran a red light. The offending vehicle immediately entered a gas station that I was coincidentally going to as well. Being somewhat pissed, I …

...Full stop. Not legal or illegal guns. The vast majority of murders with guns are spur of the moment "crimes of passion". Some loser gets mad, pulls out a gun and shoots some other loser over a girl or that he was cut off in traffic. No gun no murder.    I have never been robbed, ne…

Imagine, you are hosting a garden party, its been going on for a while. People come in through the front door, and walk to the back, helping themselves to food drink to carry out on their way through your sliding glass doors and into your backyard.   You don't like everyone there but want to ha…
