How the mighty have fallen. Rogue cruise ships?

Hubby and I have been on two cruises, on the luxury line Crystal Cruises.  Both were Hillsdale College cruises, one to Alaska and one to Hawaii.  The fact that both cruises left from the West Coast was a deciding factor.  We took the Crystal Serenity to Alaska in 2016, and the Crystal Symphony to Hawaii …

[Better late than never] Last Saturday’s Wall Street Journal had the biggest bunch of crap I have ever seen in one issue.

Last week's Weekend Edition of the Wall Street Journal had a number of articles that I just could not believe.  See if you don't agree that they all add up a big pile of excrement. Starting in the Review section, the cover story was about "The Once and Future Drug War", by James Marson, Julie …

Covid Insanity. This is turning into Murder of Innocent Citizens by the State.

And no, I am not exaggerating.  Not one little bit.  There are two stories in the news today that literally make me sick to my stomach, and so angry I could ...  I don't know what.  Commit violence?  Maybe. The first story, from yesterday, is about a young father in Virginia with end-stage kidney disease. …

What is this world coming to? This weekend’s horror stories.

If you thought Western Civilization was crumbling before your eyes, you might be right.  Aside from all the crime, homelessness, shortages, skyrocketing food and fuel prices that affect us all, two stories this weekend will confirm it.

These Virginia “educators” aren’t teachers, they are Tyrants

In one of his first acts as the new governor of Virginia, Glenn Youngkin issued an executive order giving Parents control over whether their children are required to wear a dehumanizing mask in school.  School teachers (drunk with the power of their union) couldn't have that.  In private messages, many teachers have issued various threats …

A note to the bumbling incompetent “doctor” who runs the CDC: It’s NOT the messaging!

To Rochelle Walensky, who thinks the reason she's so ignored is that the messaging from her agency is not consistent: It's not the messaging, lady, it's the MESSAGE.  I read in a Wall Street Journal article today that Walensky is being "coached by a media consultant"!!!  I laughed out loud when I read that.  Especially …

How’s this for “you take the risk, we reap the rewards”?

Some companies are offering incentives for their employees to take the experimental CCP Virus vaccine booster shots.  Many companies already have vaccine mandates for their office and factory workers, and some have lost employees who quit rather than be vaccinated.  One company I read about today is offering a very peculiar "incentive" for their employees …

Washington State “Health Leaders” propose turning Washington into a Police State

We have all been appalled to see what is happening to the people of Australia, Canada, and Austria, where their governments are opening internment camps (called “quarantine camps”) for unvaccinated citizens who refuse vaccination for Covid. Our state of Washington is now proposing similar rules for unvaccinated citizens.  They are also proposing to add the …

Communist China’s Central Planners Stumped?

The most salient characteristic of communism is the government ownership and control of the means of production.  This signifies that private ownership of businesses is rare, or absent entirely.  And the economy is not the only feature of a society that communist governments seek to control.  The press, education, religion (if it is allowed at …
