These days, you cannot pick up a product without being able to turn it around and learn how many calories it has, what daily percentage of all the vitamins and minerals in it, what the product is made of (including active and inactive ingredients), whether it meets various health, safety, and environmental standards, and so […]

It is immoral for the government to “take from the rich” and “give to the poor”.
While any individual might donate some of their money, possessions, time, or talent to the betterment of others who have less, charity is a unilateral thing… it is at the complete option of the giver. It is, […]

Contrary to what the majority of our own citizens have been taught in our schools for the past 40 years or so, the United States IS the single best example of citizens enjoying the greatest degree of human equality in the HISTORY OF THE WORLD.
Yes, despite some admitted (and corrected) flaws and blemishes, the U.S.A. […]

Most politicians think us regular citizens are fools. They will tell us lies with a straight face and expect us to accept what they say as fact.
Disturbingly, the media no longer challenges such assertions…
Not so many years ago, the “fourth estate” could be counted on to dig deep and bring the truth […]

Despite denials from about half of our own citizens, it’s readily apparent that changes are happening in the U.S… and not for the better. It’s a sad day, though, when it’s recognized by the Russians:
From Pravda-
It must be said, that like the breaking of a great dam, the American decent into Marxism is happening […]

OK, so Congress causes a problem … the financial mess our country is in … and, while ignoring or denying their involvement, assert that THEY are the only ones who can “solve” the problem. While I have very little confidence that they can (or should) do that, it doesn’t change the fact that Congress […]

I can’t believe it. The President addressed Congress recently and, while he was explaining his decision to take a certain course of action in response to the current economic problems, he lied to everyone. Just like that. No hesitation, no blinking. While looking us straight in the eye.
It’s one thing when […]

This is the most confusing time in our country that I can remember. While I have not always understood every nuance of government action, political moves, or economic gyrations, I’ve generally been able to recognize why most things happened. Not so, today.
It reminds me a lot of the investment confusion during […]

Without even knowing all the science behind it, most of us know the common sense of “cause and effect”… of probable outcomes from certain actions. If I drive a car with my eyes closed, I’ll probably run into something. If I ignore the “low oil” light in my car dashboard, the engine will eventually seize […]

Every election cycle, the topic of illegal voting comes up in the news, but it seems especially visible this time around. Typically, it’s some minor situation that gets a few minutes of air time and then fades away. That’s not the case this year. Perhaps we’ve reached the point where internet news sources, blogs and […]
