This ad appeared in one of the emails I get from a conservative Web site. My readers know I'm intending upon never going on the public dole (including Social Security and Medicare). Freedom? Medicare is supposed to be Freedom? To my way of thinking, Medicare brings these conditions with it: Medical treatment confined to "What …

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 …

Thank President Trump this Labor Day
My thanks to GOPUSA.com for publishing this cartoon. As a result of lower tax rates for businesses, and the Trump Administration's attack on regulations, there are more open jobs in our country than unemployed workers. Pretty much anyone who wants to work can find work. Especially blacks and Hispanics, whose unemployment rates are the lowest …
Non-Civilization in our Civilized Country
Did you know that there are pockets of "non-civilization" within our civilized United States? And we host them, and encourage them to continue to be not-civilized. We spend significant federal dollars on maintenance of these pockets of non-civilization. Those pockets of non-civilization are called Indian Reservations, and they are everywhere in the United States. One …
What was that I said about Entitlement in Seattle?
Good grief! The infamous "Tent City 3", run by Seattle's "Homeless-Industrial Complex" representative SHARE/WHEEL, had to make an "emergency" move. The article I read mentioned that this homeless camp has been in existence for 20 years! Now, if the 60's radicals who run Seattle tell you that they are working to end homelessness, please do …

Blacklisted by Google! Whee!
It seems that the Great Internet Monopoly, AKA Google, has a list of web sites that they have "blacklisted", to try and bury their content and prevent casual web-surfers from seeing what they deem "dangerous" writings. Herewith, from a Ricochet post, is the Google list of dangerous sites that you should be discouraged from viewing. …
This is what Entitlement means in Seattle
The much-pampered homeless in Seattle feel that they are entitled to erect their filthy tents on public property anywhere in town. So, when the city "cleans up" their illegal encampment, they just move on. Say, into the public Park nearby. Remember, in Seattle the vagrants who camp on public property do not have to move …
