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 …

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.

Each one of those empty, surplus chairs from June of 2020 was from the desk of a person, an employee who contributed to the success of an aerospace manufacturer. Every empty chair represents an …

The Leftists who run Western Washington have been attempting to get people out of their individually-owned vehicles, and into "public" transportation for years. Their new "light-rail"/100-year-old technology choo-choo-train has been promoted twelve ways from Sunday, but of course the vast majority of citizens of this relatively low-density area still use their own private vehicles to …
Industrial art is tools or devices that not only work well, but are beautiful in themselves. An item that is well-designed for its task often is a thing of beauty besides. My Guru, Dr. Larry Arnn, president of Hillsdale College, teaches that anything that is the best it can be, at the task for which …
Courtesy of Joe, over at PoliticallyIncorrectHumor.com. Laugh, because if you don't, you'll cry. Can you believe that the person pictured above is the most powerful person on the planet? No, I can't either.
This week, I want to start with a design in Nature that is ubiquitous, among things animate and inanimate. When the Original Designer finds a scheme that is simple, elegant, and effective, He tends to employ that design across species and materials. That Original Design is "branching". This is the scheme used in the …
