EPIC FAIL: Green Energy Collapses in Texas It was billed as the storm of the century, with bitterly cold arctic air covering Texas, all the way into Mexico. It became a Texas standoff at the OK Corral. Mother Nature was pitted against the heroes of modern electrical production: wind and solar. Who would ultimately survive […]
Let me start by saying that I believe Donald Trump won the 2020 Presidential Election, only to have it stolen from him by the usual suspects I so well remember from my days living in Chicago: the Democrat Party. There was so much evidence of malfeasance, from statistical evidence, to mysterious dumps of results for […]
Much of what happened to America in 2020 and will likely repeat in some form in 2021 was not just bad luck; it was self-inflicted harm. And until we join together to halt the abject stupidity that has allowed endless political nonsense, disease, race rioting, economic hardship, influence peddling, censorship, and election fraud to flourish, […]
“How the Grinch Stole Christmas!” is a relatively recent (1957) Christmas story by Dr. Seuss that has a serious theme objecting to the commercialization of Christmas, while at the same time, delighting children with a happy ending. Upon hearing a joyous Christmas song, the Grinch realizes that “maybe Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more” […]
A nation “of the people, by the people, and for the people” will perish from the earth if we do not demand that everyone play by the rules that protect all citizens. That is why we have laws and additional expectations of civil behavior spelled out in the Judaeo-Christian tradition by the Ten Commandments or […]
“I have sworn upon the altar of God eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man.” Those eloquent words come from the third President of the United States, Thomas Jefferson, and are engraved in stone at the Jefferson Memorial in Washington, DC. President Trump has promised to protect that monument against […]
I absolutely loved Michelle Obama’s presentation at the Democratic Party’s Infomercial Convention. When she carried on about being an oppressed black woman, I rolled in the aisle with laughter. She was speaking to me from her twelve million dollar home on Martha’s Vineyard, off of Cape Cod, Massachusetts. That is one of the wealthiest places […]
During our late July heat wave, I was talking with a man who was sweltering, because Portland General Electric had turned off his air conditioner as part of a program to shed load during periods of peak demand for electricity. He was being paid $50 for his trouble. That may sound like a good deal […]
Most of us are very, very tired of the constant barrage of negative news. We realize that it may have some tenuous connection to reality, but is mostly manufactured nonsense, designed to keep us upset until at least the Presidential Election in November. But will it even end then? That is unlikely, because too many […]
With the Wuhan coronavirus epidemic waning somewhat in the USA and locally here in Oregon, as people become more careful about spreading it, we are close to the point where we should talk about ‘lessons learned.’ That is the process of 20/20 hindsight, where we look back at what was done and not done that […]
