I found an interesting statement in a Wall Street Journal review of a new book of the letters of Laura Ingalls Wilder, writer of the "Little House" series about her childhood in the Midwest and on the prairie. It seems that, in her eighties, she did a radio broadcast, to the "Children of Chicago", and …

Celebrate our Beautiful Country
Every day, I give thanks to have been born in the Greatest Country on God's Green Earth. Our country is one of the most beautiful on Earth, with terrain ranging from blazing hot deserts, to grassy prairies, to high snow-capped mountains, to chains of beautiful blue lakes. The American people are the most generous in …
Black Lives (Don’t) Matter
What about this Black Life? Did you know that over 60% of black babies are aborted? Yes, SIXTY PERCENT! This evening, I discovered an interesting Web Site called Black Genocide. Give it a look. This simple fact shows that so-called Progressives do NOT believe that Black Lives Matter. In truth, the fact that Abortion is …
Who is more important to the president? Brutal dictators? Or you?
Let's see. In the past couple of years he has met with, and praised: The Brutal Dictator of Russia, Vladimir Putin. A Saudi Prince, of a kingdom that represses its women, stoning them to death for "honor crimes". He has done his best to release "detainees" (brutal terrorists) from Guantanamo Prison, allowing them to return …

Weekly Photo Challenge…Harmony…My Heritage in Pictures, and Music
In 2007, my husband and I went to Israel with Michael Medved and his family (he is based and broadcasts from KTTH 770 Radio in Seattle). One morning, I took a solitary walk to the Old City in Jerusalem, and visited the Western (Wailing) Wall, the remaining remnant of the Second Temple. Jews come here …

Weekly Photo Challenge: Time
I was finding this topic pretty difficult-how do you picture Time? The original description over at The Daily Post cited Matt Haig's "Reasons To Stay Alive", and he states that a way to stop time is "Read". Aha! On my trip to University of Cambridge, we went to the Library at Gonville & Caius College, …

Terror in Istanbul – The Turkish People Are Being Kept in the Dark!
Yes, it's true. You have perhaps heard or read about the suicide-bombing this morning, near the Blue Mosque in Istanbul. Shortly thereafter, it came out that the perpetrators were probably ISIS. Due to their Islamist-leaning government, the Turkish people have had their internet access cut off, and web sites of news organizations blocked. A friend …

2015
So what kind of year was 2015? Statistically, not too bad. But statistics can be misleading (in both directions). Financially, I earned about as much in 2015 as I did in 2014, but my earnings went further. Much to my surprise and delight, I was able to sweep a fair amount of money from my …
Out-of-the-ordinary Christmas music
I am a Jew who loves Christmas music. All year round, my internal tape has carols playing. Since 1991, I have collected CDs of unusual Christmas music. I try to buy something new each year, and I have accumulated quite a collection of those outdated compact discs. My collection ranges from medieval and Renaissance music, …
