And now comes the last two stages of an avoidable political catastrophe: the “search for the guilty parties” and “the reward of non-contributors.” (Adopted from the six stages of an engineering project – it’s on the web.) We don’t know how the fires started. It could have been lightning: it’s been dry in California lately. … Read more
I try to write my daily articles objectively and without emotion, especially anger. That has been extremely difficult, especially when writing about Joe Biden and any member of his administration. I find it impossible to write about Elizabeth Warren without letting anger and frustration boil to the surface. The Senior Senator from Massachusetts embodies all … Read more
In Part 1, it was clear that the tech staff developing Google’s first Artificial Intelligence offering, Bard, had decided that those who wanted to use it had to be protected from themselves. They aren’t made of strong enough material. The Woke’s “triggering” with an AI-enhanced chaser. “ONLY I can protect you from yourself!”.Yeah, enough of … Read more
The shocking news of yet another fire in California has been overshadowing the Cinderella story of the City of Angels slowly turning into the Isle of Lesbos. Were it not for the massive conflagration the country would not have learned about the humongous achievement of local first responders setting aside their personal safety in favor … Read more
America and Americans are the most generous on Earth. The government is generous on our behalf, spreading our tax dollars around the globe, and thousands of churches and charities rely on the generosity of giving Americans. Over 170 countries receive more than $70 billion every year, and this is from an America that is in … Read more
I had heard several times during the broadcast that Jimmy Carter planned every detail of his funeral. Being a micro-manager, I doubt that he would have left this detail, the front page of the order of events, to anyone else: Indeed! The Left and the mainstream media (but I repeat myself) hate any religious mentions … Read more
Almost any professional profession (sorry, just HAD to do that!) has standards that they have to follow, especially if they want some letters after their names (e.g. RN, MD, PE, CPA, PMP, CEH {heh – Certified Ethical Hacker! Really, it’s a “thing”}, AWS, CSCP). Study hard and take the exams (sometimes, multiple times, like trying … Read more
Anne Kirkpatrick got the ass end of the cybersphere handed to her on New Year’s Day and for several days following it. She looked like another clueless diversity hire, a problem she failed to resolve – much like Plan B (Kamal Harris) – by opening her mouth and speaking. People died, and her response didn’t … Read more
Food rights and federalism clash in the MAHA era Legal counsel for Amish food rights activist Amos Miller claimed victory in a recent Pennsylvania decision that permits the feisty farmer to continue selling his raw milk outside of the state but not “within the Commonwealth.” The ruling permits Miller to keep his business afloat to … Read more
I found it interesting to see the distribution of which areas of the globe have both the most semiconductor firms and their values. The Netherlands has one of the most important firms in this space: ASML. Sure, there are far more capitalized firms and far more well-known ones. Still, if you understand the idea that … Read more
We have sad moments every year when a section of our country suffers the pain of a tragedy that takes property and, sometimes, unfortunately, innocent lives. Today, we will not discuss the senseless shootings and bombings but focus on something more widespread that impacts thousands, even millions of people. The last few months have seen … Read more
Last Friday, House Republicans opened the first session of the 119th Congress by voting to keep Representative Mike Johnson (R-LA) on as Speaker of the House. Almost every Republican—including pro-establishment moderates, Trump loyalists, and even the “hardliners” that make up the fiscally conservative Freedom Caucus—fell in line behind Johnson. The one Republican who refused to … Read more
As a strength and conditioning coach and fitness trainer for over twenty years, this is the annual time when I see people recommit to their health by adopting a training program, buying that piece of equipment or joining that class they hope will help them achieve their desired goal, which more often than not is … Read more
On his way out the door, President* Biden keeps issuing executive orders. One of the most controversial is the recent order that ‘permanently’ prohibits exploring or drilling for oil along most of the US coastline. This is being reported as something that will be difficult or impossible for Trump to reverse, because doing so would … Read more
The Soros-funded social-justice experiment of recruiting progressive prosecutors who function more as a second phalanx of defense attorneys has crashed in flames. California’s Proposal 36 was supported by more than 70% of voters and reversed these ill-considered policies to correct course for public safety. Such strong support in such a blue state reveals the profound … Read more
The media has blown it for the last decade. They have destroyed their credibility to the point that pay cuts or layoffs have replaced deadlines for these information hacks. They bought in on the Russian dossier and the January 6 assault on the Capital. Yet, they missed the border fiasco, the Afghanistan retreat, the cocaine … Read more
The two sides of this latest American disaster are amazing when taken separately, and that is difficult to do with such devastation. California is such a beautiful state and probably the most diverse and rich in natural offerings, including the ocean, mountains, rich agricultural regions, and vineyards. Still, when mother nature or man-made error occurs, … Read more
It took me a few years to get my school district (SAU73) to figure out that Agents of Government (elected and bureaucratic officials) cannot abrogate a person’s First Amendment Free Speech rights. Frankly, it got frustrating at times, but the school board finally acknowledged the error of their ways (to avoid the threat of another … Read more
Ann Kuster heads out the door of the US Capitol (for the last time as a member of Congress) with what shall be, in our opinion, the defining moment of her tenure. Her lasting legacy. Context? ‘Annie’ voted not to deport illegal alien sex offenders. And I’m betting that Anne Kuster would be very happy … Read more
There were a lot of surprises on the morning of November 6th, 2024. The Democrats lost the US House, the US Senate, and the Oval Office, and the abortion issue was unable to overshadow the problems plaguing regular Americans. If Democrats can’t win with abortion, what are they going to do? It didn’t work in … Read more
