The DOJ has communicated to Congress that it is ending the Obama-era corporate shakedown regime, where it forced corporations who paid huge settlements to resolve conflicts relating to the financial crisis, to pay (liberal) third-party organizations as part of those settlements. Billions of dollars were siphoned off to various Obama special-interest groups, in violation of …

Today is June 6. 6/6. It is the 73rd Anniversary of D-Day, that momentous day in 1944 when the Allies invaded France to re-take Europe from Hitler's evil forces. But that's not what I remember. In June of 1966, I was a junior in high school in Seattle. I was taking a ceramics class, with …

My followers will know that I am Jewish. Each year, my husband and I go to my sister's house for Passover, and there are often over 12 people there. The “regular” Haggadah my sister normally uses dates from the early 1980s, and she thought she’d bring our Seder into the 21st Century this year. …
Unlike many younger people these days, I don't normally take pictures of my food when eating out, or post them on social media (I am not on Facebook or Twitter anyway). But this time, on our cruise to Alaska last summer, I just had to capture this. It was the final night of the cruise, …
On April 13, 1949, a huge 7.1-magnitude earthquake hit the Seattle area. Buildings in the downtown areas of Seattle, Tacoma, and Olympia were badly damaged.
