Rush Limbaugh Quote of the Week: On the Founding Fathers and Government

This quote is from 2009, when Barack Hussein Obama the Destroyer had only been in office for six months. The Founding Fathers were highly suspicious of government because they understood human nature.  And they understood the human quest for power.  They were fleeing what they thought were the worst aspects of the human quest for …

I STAND WITH ISRAEL

THIS I KNOW Islam is incompatible with Western Civilization.  Muslims in any country, other than the Middle East, Africa, or Asia, do not assimilate into their host country.  They do not adopt the values of the countries into which they immigrated.  Countries in Europe now have "no-go zones", where violence runs rampant, and even police …

Is this the End of Western Civilization?

Today, there is a story about the President of France wanting to "enshrine Abortion in the country's Constitution."  Last year, the United States of America overturned a Supreme Court ruling that had made abortion legal everywhere, however, the US never went as far as adding Abortion to the US Constitution.  That would have been a …

Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #266: Time

How do you capture time?  How do you even describe time?  That's a brain-breaker indeed. One of my favorite things to photograph is the wake of a boat or a ship.  The boat cleaves through the water, and always leaves behind evidence of its passing.  If the boat is turning, it shows you where the …

Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #259: Unbound

So, this week's challenge mentions once-in-a-lifetime events.  Visiting an erupting volcano is about as once-in-a-lifetime as it gets!  On our cruise to Hawaii in 2018, we were treated to an after-dark experience when the cruise ship hovered about a mile offshore the Big Island of Hawaii, and we get all the sensations of a volcano …

Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #254: Spiritual Sites

There are some places that just lend themselves to a spiritual state of mind.  I am always in awe of the power of Nature, especially features that demonstrate raw power.  We harness the power of high waterfalls to make electricity. I could stand there for a long time, just watching and listening to the power …

Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #253: Fragments

Fragments are parts of things.  Sometimes, you can tell what the original thing was, just by looking at the fragment. These pieces of driftwood were once trees. These fragments, all in a row, tell you that once on this beach, there was a dock for boats to tie up.  This remnant is probably from the …

Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #251: Beauty in the Buildings

I have always been fascinated by architecture, as a demonstration of man's capacity to create structures of beauty.  Cultures all over the world erect buildings that reflect their varying cultural traditions.  Aside from cultural traditions, architectural details show the artistic period when the building was built.  One day, I took my camera and went to …
