Did you know that there are pockets of "non-civilization" within our civilized United States? And we host them, and encourage them to continue to be not-civilized.

Civility versus Madness in Modern-day America
First the Madness. Over the past few days, three members of the Trump Administration who went out to eat in Cesspool DC were harassed, threatened, and ejected from restaurants. Who were the ones who did all the harassing, threatening, and ejecting? Progressives. The Administration members did nothing more than go out to eat, and the …

…On the Other Hand… 2017 Wrap-up
2017 was an "on the other hand" year for RushBabe49. For every great thing that happened, there was something disgusting in return. No good thing goes un-punished, and 2017 was a great example.

2015
So what kind of year was 2015? Statistically, not too bad. But statistics can be misleading (in both directions). Financially, I earned about as much in 2015 as I did in 2014, but my earnings went further. Much to my surprise and delight, I was able to sweep a fair amount of money from my …
Happy Halloween…Here’s Something to Scare the S**t Out of You
Interesting article over at American Thinker, about the safety (or lack thereof) of America's blood supply. Think Ebola is a growing threat? How about Chikungunya Fever, Cholera, and Dengue Fever. The current occupant of the White House has only just begun efforts to transform America. You aren't going to like it.
The Natural Order of Things
My hero, Rush Limbaugh, likes to point out that, through much of human history, the natural order of things in our world has been tyranny and misery. Since humans started to live in groups, the vast majority of people have led lives that were "nasty, brutish, and short". Until very recently, human life-expectancy has been …
