All of our trick- or-treaters were polite kids, with parents on the sidewalk.

But some truck-or-treaters in Louisiana spoiled the Halloween experience for everyone around. Their second big mistake was stealing all the Halloween candy, AND some pumpkins from someone’s porch, within sight of the wide-angle doorbell camera. Their first and biggest mistake was using their work van with the company logo and information in bold letters on …

Far-Left Seattle Corruption revealed in Mayoral race. Yawn…

We all know the incestuous relations among Seattle legacy media, “alternative” media, and corrupt Seattle politicians. This year’s mayoral contest takes it to a whole new level.

Neither hubby nor I had ever been to the Carolinas, so when we received an invitation to a Hillsdale College Economic Forum in Charlotte, I jumped at the chance to visit. What clinched it was the fact that one of the speakers would be the young database guru who goes by the X handle of …

*How NOT to solve the “homelessness crisis”.

The Seattle area, where I have lived for most of my 76 years, has a large and growing homeless population.
