The most salient characteristic of communism is the government ownership and control of the means of production. This signifies that private ownership of businesses is rare, or absent entirely. And the economy is not the only feature of a society that communist governments seek to control. The press, education, religion (if it is allowed at …

Many new laws took effect in Washington State on January 1. All of them restrict the liberty of individuals and businesses in our state. The first Income Tax (unconstitutional) will take effect, in the form of a “capital gains tax” on gains over $250,000. The new law is in litigation now, but the state will …

The unfortunate year of 2021 is almost at its close, and I wish to recount many of the goings-on which have made it so unfortunate. From shortly after the new year made its appearance, and through the entire year, the populace in America has been subjected to unrelenting tyranny, from both the political and medical …

The occupant of the White House made a speech recently, predicting a "winter of illness and death" for the Americans not vaccinated against the CCP Virus. How very uplifting.

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 …
Terri referred to metallic decorations in her original post, but I will be going in an entirely different direction here. My readers will know that I am currently working in a factory that makes metal parts for big airplanes, both military and commercial. Since I started in July, I have been impressed with the beauty …

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). The weekend after the lockdown started, I decided to celebrate my independence, and refusal to accept government …

The Left, and its Environmentalist Wacko wing, dominate all discourse here in Western Washington. The Environmental Wackos' religion believes that humanity is a blot on the Holy Planet, and humanity has the power to change the climate, degrade the environment, and otherwise foul our nest. That religion assumes that, with the proper regulation of human …
