Nothing says freedom like telling your citizens or local businesses what to do. But Seattle is not exactly a bastion of Freedom and liberty. And today is no different. The Seattle City Council has voted to ban plastic grocery bags. This is another win by so-called environmental groups that claim the bags fill up landfills … Read more
This is almost a palate cleanser, but then it is not. Apparently, the LA plastic bag ban was motivated by celebrity goobers with green thumbs.
The Los Angeles city council voted 13-1 to ban plastic shopping bags in grocery stores. There is a lengthy review and implementation process to follow but if all goes to plan within about 10-12 months the ban will be in force. Paper bags will still be available for a ten cent fee. I like … Read more

TGIF! To all those who are sending in memes, thank you! Many, many good ones! Please do share this post, and if you share an individual meme, consider mentioning you saw it on the Grok!
It looks like business as usual at the polls in New Hampshire, by which I mean we’ve got strange things happening. This story comes to us form the People’s Republic of Hopkinton.
This is an attempt to “break out” memes, links, and my commentary about the situation in Israel / the Middle East so as to not overload the standard meme posts that I do. My last “normal” meme post. In these Israel-related posts I don’t just have memes such, but lots of informative links as well … Read more
The People’s Republic of Vermont has a climate itch it can’t stop scratching. An irritation that persists to the point of bleeding if it were on your person. And it is. You, kind people of Vermont, will pay in ways they can’t or won’t explain.
As promised in the last Monday Memes, I have an overflow. My meme cup runneth over. Let the mayhem, mockery, and ridicule resume:
I cannot guarantee this will be done every week. Between memes, work, family, etc., I’m swamped. But still… trying to get info out as I believe things are getting to a head, and sooner than we think possible.
In 1964, Leonard Read wrote a genealogy from the perspective of a pencil, demonstrating the vast, complicated web of the structure of production that is handled by the division of labor on free markets. The pencil explained that no one knows how to make a pencil because of the myriad production processes involved: My family tree begins … Read more
I received the news while I was enjoying my morning bowl of oatmeal, raisins, and walnuts with a dab of peanut butter. That’s usually my morning quiet time when I get a few minutes to myself and meditate on the coming day.
Prof. Mike Adams was always a great read for me when his columns came out. Unfortunately, he lost his internal struggle with himself a few years ago and he took his own life. The following is one of his “biggest” hits and outlines his stance concerning the encroaching woke/cancel movement alive even back in 2015.
The internet machine coughed up a letter to the editor of the Bangor daily news. The law would update how the state pretends recycling is good for Maine or the planet. My first thought? How much carbon will they emit before it’s over?
Reuben King is an Amish farmer in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. He’s got a side hustle selling long guns to the locals. How many? When the ATF raided his barn, they confiscated 615 of them.
Care of the Hal Turner Radio Show, we’ve got their list of 100 things that disappear first during war. In other words, items you may want on hand just in case the SHTF.
First, I am merely an “enlightened amateur”. Please vet & check on your own. Caveat emptor. Consider these to be priming the pump for your own investigations. I know this is a long post; I am attempting to put out a lot of information as a resource. Read or skip sections depending on your interests.
I am here to announce a Jubilee Year in 2026. We have 3 years to get it ready — 2023, ’24, and ’25. That’s thirty six-months, not really enough but we can try.
When lefty green meanies issue mea culpa’s, it makes for good blogging, but I always remain skeptical. Take Michael Moore, for example. Planet of the Humans made it clear that neither wind nor solar was viable or capable. A fool’s errand, yet the Left has tripled down on the agenda. So, what’s the point?
Nitzakhon Note: This got very long and IMHO it’s becoming daunting to read in one go. After this one I’m going to, as length demands, start doing two such posts a week when it is called for. The Sunday one will be this full one, and then if necessary I’ll do a hump day one … Read more
