What’s happening to Education under the Union/Democratic regime
I have to say, I had a great time on Tuesday night. I spent 2.5 hours in front of my computer, participating in the live chat with my Ricochet friends. There must have been over 200 of us, from all over the world, chiming in and giving reports of how the voting was going in …
My readers will be familiar with my magic three weeks in Cambridge, England in 1991, from my post on that trip. Thinking back on my long life, those three weeks are the only time in my life that I can say I'm nostalgic for. I lived through the hippie 1960s and 1970s, and I'm not …
Songs on the Death of Children. In his book The Devil’s Pleasure Palace, Michael Walsh opines that the German Romantic Movement of the late 19th and early 20th Century, foretold the decline of Western Civilization. Two stories in the news today perhaps reflect how far we have fallen. Both stories are horrifying. Dad Admits Killing …
Just about the smartest thing I have done in recent years (aside from starting this blog) was to join Ricochet. Through the Center-Right Community of thoughtful, smart, and welcoming people, I have made new friends, expanded my knowledge, and partaken of some of the world's best humor. Doesn't it seem to you that much of …

Yeah, I'm way behind on my podcast listening. The one I listened to today was the end of July sometime. He recited a list of "what the Democrat Party is", entities and causes that many people don't know were Dem strongholds. He started with the ones that are most obvious in today's news: Black Lives …
Hubby and I went on the Hillsdale College 10-day cruise to Alaska, aboard the Crystal Serenity. We spent about three years' worth of travel budget, but we sure got our money's worth, and more. Hillsdale does a big cruise every summer, and this was our first time. There were "Seminars at Sea", with noted speakers, including …
July Fourth is a day to celebrate. But what do we celebrate? Funny, but a man-on-the-street survey found that the average person does not know why we celebrate on the Fourth of July. This is depressing. If Americans don't know why July Fourth is important, how are they going to appreciate their country, and how …
In this 1983 cartoon tribute to D-Day, Charles Schultz takes his Peanuts gang to France. I thank the people of Truth Revolt for the link to this. May we never forget the brave soldiers of America and England who gave their lives so we could be free. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7-SC890E75g
In May of 2013, I organized my first Seattle Ricochet Meetup, a physical meeting of Ricochet members, around a Hillsdale College National Leadership Seminar held in Seattle. Ricochet members are always up for a meeting, and many Seattle members support Hillsdale College. I posted an invitation on the Member Feed, and asked for advance notice …

For most of my life, I have had a revulsion reaction to people whose bodies are deformed, or whose behaviors are offensive in public. I believe this revulsion is probably hard-wired into human beings from prehistory, as a survival characteristic (others whose looks or behaviors are not "civilized" might be foes); so I'm betting that …
