*What the Welfare State Hath Wrought

So many people are "on Food Stamps" that when the government is shut down by DemocRat intransigence, people literally go crazy. Starting with LBJ's Great Society program in the 1960s, and continuing until Obama and Biden actively recruited people to go on the public dole and Biden allowed millions of illegal aliens to suck at …

Yay! It’s Black Cat Appreciation Day!

It's the week of Halloween, and it's time to appreciate our mini-panthers, our black cats who rule us, sit and purr in our laps, and shed black cat hair all over the house. I have had a black cat in my home for the last about 30 years (not the same one!). Our home would …

*Masks Dropped for good. The unabashed, blatant, in-your-face corruption of King County, Washington.

We have already heard the hundreds of stories of prolific offenders released over and over again by the thoroughly corrupt judges in King County. Nothing, even the fact that their own clerks are being assaulted on their way to work in downtown Seattle, seems to dissuade the leftist judges from their belief that the criminals …

*To the Left, everything is political.

Including their pets! Aside from the fact that the radical left environmental lobby has been pushing for the elimination of all pets in the name of “saving the planet”, in the last couple of days I discovered some pet-owners who take their leftism to a whole new level.

*This might be a bit premature but, “The Great Reclamation” is underway

At this moment, the Supreme Court has before it perhaps the most consequential case regarding the Deep State (permanent DC bureaucracy that is mostly leftist). For decades, an opinion called "Humphreys Executor" has essentially handed the entire government in Washington to unelected appointees who can never be fired or lose their appointments, by any of …

*How NOT to solve the “homelessness crisis”.

The Seattle area, where I have lived for most of my 76 years, has a large and growing homeless population. People actually come here from all over the country, to take advantage of all the consideration and services lavished on the homeless. Nearly everywhere around this area, you can see homeless tents on sidewalks, in …

October is Black Cat Awareness Month (Halloween anyone?)

So it would be just the time to have some black cat fun and raise awareness that black cats are definitely NOT bad luck in any way. They are sometimes neglected at the shelter, due to superstitions that should be put to bed once and for all. In fact, when I open my bedroom door …
