The early 40s were not glorious days in America. America’s military was involved in World War II on two fronts – Europe and the Pacific. My family – or should I say both of my families – paid a very dear price. As it turns out, four men in my “family” were directly involved in…
If you want to see what the tax plan is for the nation, just look to Vermont. Early in his administration, President Barack Obama realized that Vermont – with its overloaded Democrat majority State government – was the perfect place to test drive his redistribution of wealth program. Vermont also had a running start on…
I’ve used Google’s GMail for the past few years and I pay close attention to my SPAM folder. Always have. I’ve also signed up for Email with all sorts of political organizations. It’s the only responsible way I know of to consider their points of view. I’ve found very legitimate Email from several such senders…
We learned this week that unemployment – as calculated by a government that would do most anything to convince us that we’re in the midst of a great economic recovery – went down to 7.5%. By comparison, that’s great news, but that same government forgot to tell us: 1) Over 50 Million Americans (16%…
Let’s poke a stick into a hornet’s nest. Perhaps – just perhaps – a civil dialogue will result, although if it goes off the rails, I won’t hesitate to pull the entire post. This is about religion and sexuality, a subject that instantly shot to center-stage when a pro basketball player publicly declared himself a…
Obama Administration Investigates Itself – Finds Nothing Why Are We Not Surprised? Just who’s running the show here? Did someone sneak in, under the cover of darkness and rewrite the Constitution? Did the powers vested in Congress just get trumped by a gang of politically motivated State Department officials? That’s what it looks like and…
There comes a time when phone calls, Emails and various other forms of communication falls on deaf ears and we’re left seemingly helpless as to what action we can take next. I’ve never been a big fan of boycotts, but the time has come. Americans need to boycott the advertisers of ABC News, and do…
It takes many years of education and training to become a physician: 4 years of undergraduate school, 4 years of medical school, and 3 to 8 years of internship and residency, depending on the specialty selected. A few medical schools offer a combined undergraduate and medical school programs that last 6 rather than the customary…
Just a few days ago (19th and 20th) everyone was talking about “the big storm in the northeast”. By actual measurement, I recorded 15 inches of snow from this event. It was horrible, I tell you. Man-made climate change advocates pointed to that storm and declared it proof positive of their claims. Of course, they…
I’m trying hard to wrap my elderly brain around the current US Supreme Court case involving marriage and the benefits issue that married, heterosexual couples receive and gay/lesbian couples do not. It’s troubling to me on several levels. I’m Catholic and certainly don’t approve of same-sex marriage, but I’m also wise enough to know that…
