America is at a time of noisy peril. Some of us can’t abide others of us. Teachers are permitted to share their personal sexual experiences with third-graders, but no school child is required to pledge allegiance to the flag. Sexual fluidity gets more attention than traditional values such

OK, technically it is a photo shopped photograph, and is a favorite wet dream on the Right. Hillary looks pretty good here, and I don’t think she killed Vince Foster. I forgot where I found this -- someone’s Twitter account -- and one of the commenters asked if this was

They say it ain’t over until the fat lady sings (sorry for the body shaming), but Thursday night’s prime-time, seventh broadcast of Jan. 6 House committee hearings probably will not be the last. The Democrats are having too much fun. (In fact, moments before the hearing began,
Bicycle Lanes
Considering that, statistically, no one commutes to work by bicycle, it’s amazing how much of the government's time, effort, and finances are directed toward bike lanes. City streets are more likely to be torn up for underused bike lanes than for repair. But hark! I can hear

Flatout — I love dogs. Always have. My latest canine companion is nicknamed Nut Bag, to reflect some of his behaviors and mannerisms. He’s a Shih Tzu mix, the smallest dog I’ve ever had, and the first male. My last pooch was a 90-pound female, and the smartest

I’ll keep this brief. My recovery from hip replacement surgery is much more painful than I expected. I don’t want to go deep into detail. Researching material, and even just typing, is very difficult because I can’t sit at a desk. So this means I will probably

Thanks to all of you who took the trouble to wish me well. There are so many I can’t find them on my iPad. The Wednesday surgery went off with no hitches. By 5 p.m. the nurses had me taking a few steps. As of Thursday 1:10

By the time you read this, what you see pictured should be completed. That is hip replacement surgery. Looks ugly. Glad I will be asleep. For me, it was the left one, which has been giving me a lot of problems for the past year. I controlled it with cortisone

There’s a show-biz adage about audiences that says, “Always leave them wanting more.” That is not what the House Jan. 6 committee planned Tuesday with a televised hearing that was to start at 10 a.m. and go all day long. At the last minute, they started the

It’s hard for ne to think of a government program that raises more ire than President Joe Biden’s brainstorm to give away between $10,000-$50,000 to people who have voluntarily taken on debt, and who are so young to have contributed nothing to society. More on
Journalism
Blindspot Report, part of Ground News.Com, provides a very valuable service, one that illustrates an idea I have been pushing for decades: If you get all your information from a single news source, there is a ton you are missing. Calling itself a detector of media bias -- although blindness
