We were Pioneers!
Yes, way back in the Dark Ages of 1962, my family were Pioneers. It was Seattle, and a World's Fair was coming in June. My parents looked around, guessed at how crowded the city would be with tourists, and decided that we didn't want to be here for the deluge of visitors. My mother had …
Perhaps not the best day to drive to Mount Rainier…Smoke on the water, in the sky, in the trees…

The sky was already smoky when we left home, and this was the freeway on I-405 going southbound. Smoky Skies, I-405 South The …

Most of them are solidly middle-class, and they are leaving farms large and small, businesses, and homes they have lived in for generations. To come to a new country, where they will literally have to start …

And the Decline of Europe Continues Apace
The un-elected tyrants at the European Union, along with the Parliamentary-system elected officials in individual countries like England and France, continue to apply the straitjacket to their indigenous population, while welcoming in and supporting all manner of illegal migrants from the Third World.
