To those of you not familiar with the German word "Schadenfreude", it means enjoying the pain or disappointment of others. Since the majority of DemocRats in America are very good at making death threats, and wishing their political adversaries pain and suffering, allow me to give them some of their own medicine. Today there are …

It just dawned on me today that the two people pictured above, the heads of two of the most powerful countries on Earth, have something very interesting in common. One of them is nearly a dictator, and the other is a dictator wannabe. But what they have in common is the drive to dismantle the …

Amid all the chaos surrounding us this year, it's always a good idea to find places and things that are serene. In the comic strip "Rose is Rose", Rose Gumbo has her "Let Things Be Tree", where she goes when the family is making her crazy. I don't have a particular tree where I go …
Joe Messerli lays it all out for you and me. All you need is right here. Thanks, Joe!! Help Wanted signs are everywhere in America. Most of our lives we've been taught that a low unemployment rate is good, but that was contingent on a society with a high workforce participation rate. In the Biden …

In this year of government oppression of the people of our country, sometimes it's hard to find anything to celebrate. I remember March of 2020, when the government locked down society (except for what it deemed "essential" activities).
