How can every single automaker plan to go all-electric?  This picture just blew me away.  It is from Twitter, but I could copy it without actually going to Twitter, which I despise. The description of the above situation is as follows: Green madness.  Electric cars belonging to the City of Paris.  No one will buy …

The Headline Reads: Washington Health Leaders: 70% vaccination rate not end of pandemic

That headline should read: Washington Health Nazis say the pandemic will never end, and our absolute control of your lives will never end. This just makes me spitting mad, because I predicted it weeks ago!  The Health Nazis will refuse to yield their absolute power over the sheep of the State of Washington.  Quote: Washington …

There was a Ricochet Member, nicknamed Boss Mongo.

Oh, this hurts so much, to write the word "was".  I am sitting here at my desk, with tears leaking from my eyes.  Boss was ex-Special Forces, a family man, living in Florida with "the lovely and talented Mrs. Mongo" and kids, when he was cut down by a massive heart attack.  The hearts of …

Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #156: Black and White

Sometimes, you just have to see life in black and white.  Most of the time, there are myriad colors all around you, so you can get jaded.  I am in no way any kind of professional photographer, and these days most of the pictures I take are with my iPhone.  So the pictures for this …

Guest Blogger: We are called to a Great Cause

From my Ricochet friend Rodin.  I could not have said it better myself.  Please read, and comment. The nation is in great danger and the problem and the solution is the same: party politics.
