Honoring our Vets – Their Wives, and Their Families

(Just got this in an email... don't know the author, but it has to be shared.) It was just another harried Wednesday afternoon trip to the commissary (grocery store on military bases). My husband was off teaching young men to fly. My daughters were going about their daily activities knowing I would return to them … Continue reading Honoring our Vets – Their Wives, and Their Families

Thanks to All Veterans

I don't know who wrote it, but it's certainly worth repeating: "It is the veteran, not the preacher, who has given you freedom of religion. It is the veteran, not the reporter, who has given you freedom of the press. It is the veteran, not the poet, who has given you freedom of speech. … Continue reading Thanks to All Veterans

Questions

The first question: ARE YOU BETTER OFF TODAY THAN YOU WERE 2 YEARS AGO? We don’t let athletes bet on games they have the ability to influence. Why do we allow Congress to invest in companies they regulate? Why is it that when archaeologists find human remains, they always determine that they are either male … Continue reading Questions

Of Mice Whales and Men

If you haven't read James Patterson's book "James Patterson by James Patterson," do so. It's intriguing and entertaining, and permits a view into the life of an award-winning author. One story he tells is about a female humpback whale 26 miles from the Golden Gate Bridge. The San Francisco Chronicle carried a front-page story about … Continue reading Of ~~Mice~~ Whales and Men

The Rise of Transhumanism

Star Trek had the Borg, the Terminator series had killer androids, and The Bicentennial Man was about a robot seeking to "become human." When you look back at the offerings of SciFy (science fiction) it is interesting how some of the things that were presented as "futuristic" are now reality (cell phones, drones, and the … Continue reading The Rise of Transhumanism

Snowflakes

The College Fix is an online paper that reports on what is going on in our colleges and universities, and supports free speech, honest reporting, and responsible journalism. The things they've reported this past two years or so are indicative of the mess in which our institutions of higher education find themselves. Except many of … Continue reading Snowflakes

Age-isms

I received this in an email. Don't shoot the messenger. Unfortunately, I can relate! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ As I’ve grown older, I’ve learned that pleasing everyone is impossible, but pissing everyone off is a piece of cake. I’m responsible for what I say, not what you understand. Common sense is like deodorant. The people who … Continue reading Age-isms

The Basic Right

Since SCOTUS decided to over rule Roe vs Wade, it has been incredible what people are saying - and doing. The meltdowns are nothing if not sensational, and usually laced with expletives that would make a sailor blush. If you believe that only the uneducated use that kind of language, you would be wrong. One … Continue reading The Basic Right

One More River

I’ve had a lot of troubles and trials in my little life span; When I’m standing alone and the battle gets hard, I always do the best I can. I’ve crossed a million valleys and shed a million tears, But when I come to the River of Jordan, Hallelujah, then I’ll have no fear; then … Continue reading One More River

Leaked Draft??

There has NEVER been a "leaked draft" of a decision by The Supreme Court of the United States on any case in the past. Now the Ether is filled with reports of meltdowns by the left, warnings of impending doom for women's "healthcare" in the media, and social media so active it's probably causing server … Continue reading Leaked Draft??
