A Trip to Hillsdale College, 175 years!

The first week of October, Hubby and I flew to Michigan, to attend the Hillsdale College 175th Anniversary Gala, and the dedication of the new Christ Chapel.  The weather was fine on the flight out, and we got to see Mount Rainier from above. We arrived in Detroit, picked up the rental car, and headed …

Grocery Shopping used to be fun for me.

It no longer is, due to the advance of the Bag Scolds.  You used to be able to go to the grocery store, get your cart or basket on the way in, and put your purchases in there.  Then, when you got to the checkout line, you placed your items on the movable belt to …

You have GOT to be kidding! Nope, it’s Seattle

Further insanity from the People's Republic of Seattle. First, we have the Seattle Public Schools considering a "Social Justice Math" curriculum requirement.  Yes, that's a Mandate that K-12 teachers in the Seattle Public Schools teach Math with a Social Justice slant.  (I urge my readers to click on that article-it will make you want to …

FIGHT FOR FREEDOM AND DEMOCRACY!!!

Stand with, and support the Brave Hong Kongers demonstrating, at much personal risk, in the streets of their City, for months now.  Every demonstrator is taking his or her life in their hands to do this.  Would we have such courage if we were faced with the Heavy Hand of the Chinese Communist Party? We …

Post Hoc, Ergo Propter Hoc, Seattle?

That phrase is commonly called a fallacy (after this, thus because of this), but you can judge this instance for yourself, with a couple of stories from KOMO-Seattle. First, there is this story about the low morale at the Seattle Police Department.  In recent years, there has been an increase in low-level street crime, and …

Did you know? Progressives support Slavery.

There have been many stories in the (so-called) Press in the past few years of small-business owners having their businesses destroyed because they would not engage in activities that violated their religious beliefs.  It seems that most states have "public accommodation" laws that forbid "discrimination" on the basis of race, religion, or "sexual orientation".  These …

(WA Governor) Jay Inslee wants more oversight over Private Psychiatric Hospitals

He does, does he?  It seems that the Seattle Times did a story about all the "incidents" at private psychiatric institutions in Washington. Sorry, no link here due to paywall at the Times web site.  How quickly they forget.  Just recently, there were many stories of the horrific conditions at the State of Washington psychiatric …

I prefer not to be a participant in others’ delusions.

The first Delusion in which I do not participate is the delusion of "man-made climate change", and the corollaries that demand that we abandon the benefits of plastic items like grocery bags and straws.  It makes me angry when the all-powerful Government decides for me which light bulbs I must use (and no longer may …

A Day at the Fair

Starting this past weekend, is the Washington State Fair in the Pierce County town of Puyallup (pronounced pew-allup).  We drove there from our house in Everett, which is a long drive, but it was a nice day on Sunday.  Lots of homeowners there allow their front yards to be used for parking, and local civic …
