Cui Bono is a Latin phrase that means "Who benefits"? Seattle's far-leftist city council believes that, if they raise the minimum wage, then low-income, low-skill people will be able to earn enough at their jobs to live on. The State of Washington, which is also run by the Seattle Leftists, believes the same thing, so …

Kids today are not educated, but indoctrinated in Leftist ideology, which says that Capitalism is evil and oppressive, while Socialism is good, and involves people sharing what they have earned. And Government will give you what you need, with no strings attached. The meme above, and the one below, are just priceless. That's all I …
Maybe it's only me, but I seem to see a lot of news stories about bad things happening to people in cities recently. Like the street crime in Chicago and New York City; homeless drug addicts attacking walkers on Venice Beach in California; and AntiFa attacking drivers stopped at traffic lights in Portland, Oregon. Aside …

This week, Tina has sent us on a guided treasure hunt, with a list of subjects to capture with our cameras. I think I can find them all. Here we go! First on the list is A Pet. My readers will all know that I have a profusion of photos of our pet (owner), Kikyo …

A Ricochet friend posted the above meme on Facebook this week. Facebook actually fact-checked it, and labeled it "False Information"! Now, I'm sure my readers are much smarter than that, and can immediately tell that it is humorous. It obviously makes fun of the emails that used to be very common in our in-boxes, from …

Yesterday afternoon, I went to the local Audi dealer, ostensibly to look at a car I might be interested in buying. It turned out that the dealer had exactly the model and color that I wanted. So, we took a test drive around the neighborhood, and I decided to buy it. Since our Dictator has …

If he could see the desecration of his never-before-played crystal flute, he surely would be. The Library of Congress let a fat pig rapper, also known as "Lizzo", play his flute. EWW! Sorry, but this cannot be "unseen", so I did not put it on the front page. I guess it's a good thing the …
These two photos have absolutely nothing to do with each other. The first one was captured at a used-car dealer I visited this afternoon. The car next to me pulled in just as I was turning off the engine. It belongs to an employee there. The dealer does not handle cars like this one. Isn't …
At age 73, I still don't think of myself as "over the hill". However, I have taken some hills in my long life. Here in Western Washington, we are hemmed in by the Cascade Mountains to the East, and we cross them often. On the way to Stevens Pass, the road winds by Mount Index. …

If it looks to you like America is going to Hell in a hand basket, you are not alone. Today's news seems to contain numerous stories of deteriorating conditions in our cities, including huge increases in homicide, carjacking, organized retail theft, kidnapping, explosions, and just general mayhem. Nearly every day, I see a new story …
