My letter to the Editors of the Wall Street Journal

This is the letter I just sent off to the editors of the Wall Street Journal. My respect for their paper, and now, their editors, has been lowered a few notches. Dear Editors:We supporters of President Donald Trump, and the President himself, have, for the past four years been slimed, de-platformed, tortured, slammed, fired from …

I Value My Liberty

It's a pity that the vast majority of the residents of my state of Washington do not.  They voted overwhelmingly to continue to be the slaves of the State, both the National and the local.  They voted their State Dictator into an unprecedented third term.  They even enthusiastically purchase their own chains of slavery (masks), …

Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #121-Focus on the Subject

It turns out that one of my favorite Subjects for picture-taking is my black cat, Kikyo. She follows me everywhere around the house, so I can take her picture in all sorts of situations. However, isn't it true that it is very tricky to photograph a black cat (see what I did there? Happy Halloween!)? …
