Right now, the US Congress is hashing out a "tax reform" set of bills intended to change the ways taxes are confiscated from American workers and savers.  Those on the Left often refer to "tax cuts for the rich", showing their basic envy of people who actually EARN their livings in the real world.  Republicans, …

Just Who are the Haters?

Hubby and I spent the afternoon yesterday in the town of Port Townsend, on the Olympic Peninsula, collecting on the last of the Jazz package we bought at an auction (dinner at the Hanazono Asian Noodle House).  Before dinner, we walked up what seemed like 1,000 steps to check out the Uptown neighborhood.  Walking down …

As usual, the latest session of the Washington State Legislature (third "special" session) has found ways to forcibly extract more of their hard-earned money from taxpayers.  Yes, to your ostensible "representatives", all you are is a bottomless source of funds for them to spend (waste?).  And when a small tax reduction was attached to the …

The Trump/Sessions Department of Justice just did “Justice”!

The DOJ has communicated to Congress that it is ending the Obama-era corporate shakedown regime, where it forced corporations who paid huge settlements to resolve conflicts relating to the financial crisis, to pay (liberal) third-party organizations as part of those settlements.

No Kidding…The SJW* Haggadah

My followers will know that I am Jewish.  Each year, my husband and I go to my sister's house for Passover, and there are often over 12 people there.   The “regular” Haggadah my sister normally uses dates from the early 1980s, and she thought she’d bring our Seder into the 21st Century this year. …
