Stolen. “If it walks like a Quack and Talks like a Quack”

Thanks to a Ricochet friend for bringing this excellent quote to my attention.  It belongs in a prominent position, since it perfectly expresses the horror of the "Covid-19 Lockdown" mentality that has taken over the brains of so many state governors/mini-dictators.  From Dr. John Rao: Our Socratic forbears taught us through their “Seeds of the …

Washington Governor Inslee: Ho Ho, Hey Hey, How many lives have you ruined today?!

The so-called governor of Washington State has "extended the stay-home order through the end of May", while supposedly outlining "reopening plan".  This is a politician who literally holds his subjects' lives in his hands.  I want to know how many suicides this order will cause?  I want to know how many MORE businesses will close …

I Defy

I defy the authorities who tell me that, as an over-70-year-old person, I should be staying home and not leaving my house.  I defy the Government Authorities who say this:  The CDC guidance comes as two top infectious disease experts with ties to the federal government have advised people over 60 and those with underlying …

Who does NOT suffer from the shutdown of the Washington State economy?

The only ones not suffering are the exalted ones in Big Government, especially in DemocRat-controlled Washington State.  They can wave their magic wands, and put thousands of people out of work in an instant.  Their jobs are not at risk, and they have little care for those who have been cast aside, ostensibly to protect …

For Who Will Record the Truth…

...in these days of Darkness?  Who will write down, for others to read, exactly what happens?  Who will write the History of events in all the turmoil?  Who will record exactly what is said, and meant, by President Donald Trump?  How will posterity know exactly what kind of President he was, when the recorders are …

Proven right again-Hollywood

It has always seemed to me that Hollywood movies these days have been aimed primarily at an audience of 14-year-old boys.  I have noticed a steady stream of new releases that are based on popular comic books, young-adult novels, and other youth-oriented subjects.  This week, an article in the Wall Street Journal has proven me …

Dispatches from Furlough, Day Ten

Well, it's the final day of my enforced "vacation", and I guess the last vacation from work I will take in my working life.  Boy, that thought just hit me.  I have had some time to think over that voluntary-separation offer I received, and I am now planning on some negotiations with my supervisors.  I …

Dispatches from Furlough, Day Eight

As usual, I spoke too soon.  Yes, our factory is re-opening next Monday, which is a good thing.  Although I expect things to get pretty uncomfortable when we have to call or email our suppliers to cancel or push out deliveries on numerous orders.  Believe me, that is the most difficult task for any buyer, …
