Free Citizens of Washington State: Throw off the chains of your oppression NOW! Defy the Dictator!

This afternoon, the Dictator of Washington, Jay Inslee, announced a loosening of restrictions on the long-suffering citizens of the state.  Notice, this is a loosening, not an elimination, of the Universal Indoor Mask Mandate that has been in effect since July of 2021, ostensibly to "keep people safe" from catching the CCP Virus, which has …

How the mighty have fallen. Rogue cruise ships?

Hubby and I have been on two cruises, on the luxury line Crystal Cruises.  Both were Hillsdale College cruises, one to Alaska and one to Hawaii.  The fact that both cruises left from the West Coast was a deciding factor.  We took the Crystal Serenity to Alaska in 2016, and the Crystal Symphony to Hawaii …

Dystopia in the Seattle area, Chapter Two (Chapter One can be found on the Ricochet.com Main Feed)

Dystopia is moving in on Seattle and its suburbs quite rapidly this year.  Crime is increasing, the homeless are literally taking over the sidewalks in downtown Seattle, and businesses are leaving due to the onerous Covid diktats of the Dictator in Olympia and his henchmen the Health Nazis.  Headline stories today: Seattle sidewalks overrun by …

[Better late than never] Last Saturday’s Wall Street Journal had the biggest bunch of crap I have ever seen in one issue.

Last week's Weekend Edition of the Wall Street Journal had a number of articles that I just could not believe.  See if you don't agree that they all add up a big pile of excrement. Starting in the Review section, the cover story was about "The Once and Future Drug War", by James Marson, Julie …

Put yourself in Donald Trump’s shoes. Might you feel a bit angry?

Back in 2020, Rush Limbaugh stated that "We don't go after our former Presidents".  He elaborated, describing those presidents who had all sorts of problems while in office, offending various and sundry political opponents.  President Richard Nixon resigned from office, rather than face impeachment for the Watergate fiasco.  After he left office, no one pursued …

What is this world coming to? This weekend’s horror stories.

If you thought Western Civilization was crumbling before your eyes, you might be right.  Aside from all the crime, homelessness, shortages, skyrocketing food and fuel prices that affect us all, two stories this weekend will confirm it. The first story has to do with the "vaccine mandates" being forced on citizens by various governments, both …

A note to the bumbling incompetent “doctor” who runs the CDC: It’s NOT the messaging!

To Rochelle Walensky, who thinks the reason she's so ignored is that the messaging from her agency is not consistent: It's not the messaging, lady, it's the MESSAGE.  I read in a Wall Street Journal article today that Walensky is being "coached by a media consultant"!!!  I laughed out loud when I read that.  Especially …

Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #182: Interesting Objects

This week, I'll be starting at home, to capture some interesting objects around me.  The first one is an empty bottle.  Now, the bottle itself is unremarkable, a simple screw-top container.  It's the labels on the bottle, which describe the contents, that make it interesting.  A few years ago, a coworker of my husband came …

How’s this for “you take the risk, we reap the rewards”?

Some companies are offering incentives for their employees to take the experimental CCP Virus vaccine booster shots.  Many companies already have vaccine mandates for their office and factory workers, and some have lost employees who quit rather than be vaccinated.  One company I read about today is offering a very peculiar "incentive" for their employees …

I reject the Metaverse

Big Tech has deemed that the future is in the so-called "metaverse".  This is a virtual world, where people are supposed to be living and interacting with others, as avatars.  In fact, the biggest of "big tech", formerly known as Facebook, has gone so far as to change its corporate identity to Meta Platforms.  This …
