I’m having trouble corralling my thoughts on this week’s Supreme Court rulings

My brain seems to be a tangle of thoughts, concerns, and emotions, given the momentous rulings handed down by the nine Ivy League lawyers in black robes in Washington, D.C.  Over the experience of humanity, for the last 5,000 years of recorded human history, those nine people have in one stroke, deemed that two people …

I Coined a new Phrase- “Going Hillsdale”

  You are probably aware that I am a big supporter of Hillsdale College in Michigan.  And that one of their main claims to fame is that they do not accept one red cent of government money; that enables them to teach the liberal arts exactly the way those arts should be taught.  Hillsdale's refusal …

Making the most of time spent in the dentist’s chair

I've had a bunch of dental work done lately.  I tried something new, to make the time go faster.  I don't know about you, but when the dentist or hygienist is working on me, I close my eyes.  I decided to start paying attention to what I see behind my closed lids.  First of all, …

What Obama Hath Wrought-is there ANY part of the Federal Government that is NOT Corrupted?

Sigh...Have you noticed lately the increasing rate of government scandals coming to light?  I have given it much thought, and it seems to me that, since Obama and his minions took power, nearly every part of the huge (and expanding by leaps and bounds) federal government has been corrupted in some way by the Democrats, …

What the Op-ed Writers Don’t Get about Obama’s Economy

Last week, Michael Solon wrote an op-ed essay in the Wall Street Journal entitled "What Democrats and the CBO Don't Get".  He was talking about how the administration's actions relating to the economy are not leading to economic growth, which is the best way to increase federal revenues and improve conditions for Americans.  However, none …

No Social Security or Medicare for Me-Do I have the Courage of my Convictions?

Yes, I do.  This post was written a couple of years ago, and updated today in 2015.  I will be 66 in April, and I just love tossing all the junk mail telling me about everyone's very best Medicare Advantage or Medi-Gap policy.  No serious illnesses, and still at my same employer after seven years. …
