A sordid tale from Seattle’s anti-religion stance.

A friend of mine sent me the link to an article on the Heritage Foundation's Daily Signal site. He is connected to the mainstay downtown Union Gospel Mission, which is facing a deadly threat from a lawsuit by a person who applied for a position there, and objected to the Mission's requirement for all its …

Maybe some Americans aren’t the Sheep we think they are-fighting vaccination mandates Updated October 11

Everyone should be aware of the two huge issues in the news lately.  One is the cascade of "worker shortages" everywhere, from local bars and restaurants to big airlines, delivery services, and trucking lines.  Everyone is having trouble hiring enough workers, now that things are opening up everywhere after government closures of businesses due to …

A pithy statement from the President of Hillsdale College

Yesterday, Hubby and I went to Bellevue, to a reception for Hillsdale College.  There were hors d'oeuvres beforehand, then a talk by my hero, Dr. Larry Arnn, then a dessert buffet later.  Dr. Arnn was supposed to be speaking about the issue on most of our minds, education and American politics.  We knew the minute …

The week’s best memes, courtesy of my friend Joe at PoliticallyIncorrectHumor.com

These are just too good to pass up.  Enjoy. Just today, Kaiser Permanante suspended, without pay, over 2,500 of their employees, because they did not submit to the invasive medical procedure of Covid vaccination. My sentiments, exactly. And, finally, one from Joe himself.  Thank you!

Curvy or Arches: Cee Neuner’s Challenge for this Week!

Ooh, this one is going to be really fun! One of the original photos I posted on my blog, way back when, is a twisty road in Eastern Washington along the Columbia River Gorge.  I have always loved the shrub-steppe terrain there. How about our kitty, curving her body to rest on our barrel chair? …

Bad news for Facebook is good news for me (and probably for society)

Schadenfreude, anyone?  It seems that the Facebook Empire was taken down today, probably by a hacker.  From this story on the Fox News web site, all parts of the company, including Facebook, Instagram, and What'sApp, were completely unavailable today, all over the world.  Rumors also have it that Facebook employees were prevented from entering their …

Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #168: Seen Better Days

This week's challenge, to show photos of places and things that have seen better days, could start with pictures of myself!  But it won't, sorry.  I will, however, start close to home.  A few blocks away from my house, along the arterial street, is a house that has definitely seen better days.  It's not that …

Just a Friday Quickie. Airport Starbucks.

At the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, we found a very convenient Starbucks at which to buy a nice drink for what promised to be an unpleasant flight (due to mask requirement, which is stupid and very uncomfortable for five hours).  I was very taken with the well-done, lighted wood wall decor there.  Some designer did an …

…and the Straitjacket tightens, again, and again, and again.

In case you haven't noticed, the freedoms of all Americans, and especially those who live in Leftist parts of the country, have continued to be more and more circumscribed.  Each day, we learn of more articles and people banned, canceled, and limited.  I live in one of those hard-Leftist states, and our freedoms are being …
