Transmigrant – I Feel like I’m American but was Born in a Third World Person’s Body
This is more tongue and cheek, but maybe not. Whoever thought they’d be demanding that men play in women’s sports or use their bathrooms? So, here it is. What if someone feels like they are European or American but were born in a third world person’s body?
Bernie Submits Bill To Ban Fracking in the US Senate (Must Want Democrats to Lose)
We’ve had a thing or two to say about fracking. Good things. Not just to piss off Democrats who bought in on the Left’s lies about this valuable process and resource. We (rightly) think Fracking has been great for America. Bernie Sanders wants to ban it.
Clapping – what goes around, comes around
It proves that sometimes, sarcasm can be used both ways and in this case, the second time it has teeth. When Nancy “Trump will always be Impeached” Pelosi did that to Trump at the end of the State of the Union, many though it was an “in your face” moment showing how politicized Govt has … Read more

BREAKING NEWS – No more witness, Trump may be acquitted tomorrow
BUMPED and UPDATED II: It’s sounding like this will be done by Wednesday.

If we have become a democracy, it is a betrayal of our founders. The founders correctly saw democracy as a form of tyranny. The word democracy does not appear in our … Read more

There was a car repair shop commercial years ago which pointed out the dangers of not taking care of normal maintenance in a timely manner. If we keep our cars properly inspected and maintained we avoid more costly major repair bills.

Cold War Era Doomsday Clock ‘Recycled’ in the Service of Climate Change
The Union of Concerned Scientists are nothing more than left-wing activists and have been decades. I call them the Union of Concerned Socialists.
