I am currently on a cruise ship, the Crystal Symphony, in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, heading east toward Mexico, in the company of a large contingent of Hillsdale College supporters and employees. On our sea days, we have been presented with a group of the best speakers known to conservatives. Self-identified Democrat Pat …

An Open Letter to the Owners of Kroger Corporation, and Makers of Products Sold There
Dear Kroger: I am a buyer by trade, and I can spot cost-cutting, and price increases a mile away. I and many of my fellow grocery customers, have noticed in recent years, the shrinking of package size on many of the items we purchase in your and other grocery stores. It started with ice cream, …
Civility versus Madness in Modern-day America
First the Madness. Over the past few days, three members of the Trump Administration who went out to eat in Cesspool DC were harassed, threatened, and ejected from restaurants. Who were the ones who did all the harassing, threatening, and ejecting? Progressives. The Administration members did nothing more than go out to eat, and the …

The continuing saga: Is the Wall of Stupid starting to crack in Seattle?
A short while ago, the city council of Seattle unanimously passed an “employee hours tax,” more commonly called a “head tax” on businesses with $20 million of gross income earned in Seattle. The tax was intended to pay for more “services for the homeless” whose plight were supposedly caused by all those disgusting, high-paying jobs …

By Permission of a Ricochet friend, “Progressive Thought”
Gender is a social construct; there are no differences between the sexes. All men are bad. Race is a social construct; there are no differences between the races. All white people are bad. No culture is better than another. Western Civilization is bad. Diversity of skin color is good. Diversity of thought is bad. Religion …

Part Two: Welcome to 21st-Century Seattle
Just when you think it can't get any weirder, it gets weirder. Welcome to the city that values homeless people who contribute little to society except dirty needles, trash, and feces on the street; more than it values the companies who provide high-wage jobs to thousands of its tax-paying citizens. The city council passed the …
Amazon Calls Seattle’s Bluff-Three Cheers!
Most of you have heard of the new "Head Tax" Seattle is about to enact to hit business in the city. They are about to approve charging big companies up to $500 per employee per year, in order to pay for more services for the increasing numbers of homeless people in the city (maybe brought …
This Used to be My City..Welcome to 21st Century Seattle
I have lived in Everett, 20 miles north of Seattle, for eighteen years. Each passing year makes me happier that I moved out of Seattle. There are constantly stories in the local media demonstrating how the cost of living in Seattle has increased so much it is pricing residents out. People who live in Seattle …

Whirlwind Trip to Colorado, Hillsdale National Leadership Seminar
Last week, RB49 and Hubby flew to Denver for a Hillsdale College National Leadership Seminar. I usually have an aisle seat on an airplane, but this time I had the window seat, and I saw some beautiful scenery below. We picked up the rental SUV, and drove south to the city of Colorado Springs, where we …

Guest Author on Calling-all-RushBabes-Trolling in Downtown Seattle?
My hubby has done an absolutely hilarious post over at Ricochet, and I just had to let my followers here see it. The new mayor of Seattle is seriously considering imposition of "congestion pricing" to discourage people from driving into the city in their own automobiles, and "reduce vehicle emissions" to counter "climate change" (as …
