Save the planet! Defund Dah Pohlease!
Normally, when something this utterly brilliant comes along, I go right to the source as I did with this particular idea. I read the WUWT article first, which I strongly recommend that you do, too. But the whole idea about defunding law enforcement is so overwhelming that I could hardly contain myself. Think of it: […]
Thursdays Are For Cooking
Again from the 1952-1960 Better Homes & Gardens cookbook comes this holiday treat, although I’ve always thought it was good any time of the year from early Autumn into early Summer. Frankly, it’s good any time of year, but when my Dad made it, he always started in the early Autumn. Fall Flying Time may […]
Pony up, Xi!
This story kind of writes itself. If there is anyone who can twist Xi JinPing’s arm, it should be our current, sitting (and frequently standing) President, but one would suppose that this might have been addressed by earlier administrations. Essentially, China owes us money. Lots of money. In fact, China owes US citizens $1.6 trillion in […]

Thursdays Are For Cooking….
This comes to us from Feast and Farm (link below): the traditional southern recipe for a chilled summer salad that is filling and nearly a full meal in itself. Be prepared to make a lot of it. Since it does best in a glass bowl, that is where you start. If you don’t have one, […]

Prepare Ye Now, Lest Ye Want for Detergent Later
Economists have started warning us of a deep global recession down the road, and the Chairman of the Federal Reserve is in favor of a second round of stimulus checks. I’ve brought this up before, when it started back in March. https://www.cnet.com/personal-finance/a-second-stimulus-check-from-the-irs-whats-going-on-with-round-2/ Meanwhile, Maxine Waters does not want small businesses reopening. She’s much too full […]
The Bitter Truth
There is some speculation that long-term unemployment may become a permanent thing. It is already exceeding 25%, which is higher than previously expected and reported, and some companies have already announced how many people they are laying off. https://www.forbes.com/sites/terinaallen/2020/05/10/3-bitter-truths-about-the-coronavirus-job-losses-and-the-economy/#4426d77267f9 The article linked is by Terina Allen for Forbes. In it, she asks if people […]
