Putin's Plan?

To control the USA through blackmail of Trump? Nah. I don't see Trump buckling under pressure from the Kremlin. The Democrats, on the other hand, already have: FDR, and later, Truman, were influenced by the MANY infiltrators of the Federal government - Harry Hopkins, the commie-sympathizing curs of the CIA and State Department, et al. Who's dumb enough to think Kennedy wasn't blackmailed? Come ON! The most blackmailable president of the 20th century? There was a reason that the president left the Cubans stranded on the beach of the Bay of Pigs - it enabled Castro to isolate them, torture them, and keep effective opposition down. Then, JFK paid off Castro to keep the secret and let him look good to the Cubans by giving him desperately-needed medicines to exchange for the remaining living prisoners. Notice that the following president - Johnson - didn't go after Russia, and accepted the twisted logic of the Warren Commission to keep the Kremlin appeased? Nixon...

Returning From Va-Cay

It was a truly wonderful Christmas. We saw family, spent time with the kids and grands, and managed to get to mass at the Marymount convent with our daughter. I don't understand a word of it, but some of the songs are traditional Polish Christmas carols. The order used to be heavily immigrant Polish, so some of the sisters still remember those days. We also managed to sign the paperwork for the sale of the house. We made our son a good deal, giving up some profit in order that he would have an affordable house that he could manage to keep up and repair (it's had work done, but still needs some updating). He will sign by the middle of January, and from that point on, we will only have 1 house payment for the first time in 10 years (at one point, we had THREE houses!). It should make a major difference as we round third base towards our retirement. When we arrive home today, we'll return the rental car (we weren't sure of the weather we would be traveling through, and did...

VA Change That Could be Quick and Relatively Painless

I did not know this, but it makes sense. Here’s one quick fix that could save many lives and cost taxpayers almost nothing: 47 percent of VA users are 65 or older and already on Medicare. They need bypass surgery, angioplasty and hip and knee replacements, like other seniors. Often, they use the VA to avoid Medicare’s out-of-pocket expenses. Their average household income is $36,000. Enabling them to use Medicare without co-pays could cut VA waiting lists by nearly half. This is considerably more troubling. It’s not a money problem. Congress appropriated a record $163 billion to the VA in 2016, more than the department requested. The real problem is a lack of discipline at all levels. Consider the alarming increase in central-line infections — a key indicator of hospital quality. These lethal infections are totally preventable when medical staff rigorously follow protocols. Some civilian hospitals have reduced them to zero. The VA has no excuse. Whoever Trump appoints as...

Lies, Damn Lies, and Statistics

I had a hard time believing it, but the Deluded Democrats (copyright pending) are trying to pass off the idea that Trump is getting handed a TERRIFIC economy! And, it will be HIS FAULT when it craters! Oh, please. Everybody knows how bad it is for the average man (and many women). Investors, which is everyone that has savings or a retirement fund, know how anemic the economy has been. My 403(b)'s have barely matched what they were eight years ago. It has made many fearful about retiring, which makes it hard for younger people to get work. Savings are no better; I'm sitting with some of that money in savings, at 0.5 %. Can't get rich on that - can't even keep up with inflation. Housing prices have (barely) returned to where they were before the housing meltdown, in GOOD markets. In bad markets, some people are still underwater on their mortgages. For older men in those states, Bloomberg reports, inflation-adjusted pay is below the level in — wait for it — 1979. Th...

Time Magazine - We Picked Trump, But We Want to Make Sure You Know We HATE Him

The pick of Trump as Man of the Year is offset by the article about him. The Elitists of Time want to be sure that you understand, they picked Trump for the same reasons as they previously picked Hitler. They both, in the exalted view of the Elitist Class, are absolutely Deplorable - Just Awful! Yeah. They mistate facts, use slurs and innuendos to great effect, and manage to - in the Proper Elitist Way, you understand - convey that they DESPISE That Man. Remember when that phrase was used against FDR, by another group of over-privileged wanna-be rulers? Share

This Is Truly Scary!

Someone must have told HRC that she needed to smile more to be relatable. The unfortunate result is this: Phony, semi-robotic, SCARY! Share

Put Your Money Where Your Soul Is

I read this account of the making of a film that target egregious human rights abuses, and how AMERICAN companies/individuals are putting their income above their soul. One of the entities is AMC Theaters, which - I did not formerly know - is owned by Chinese companies. What they are doing is against the spirit of American values. Please read this account of the film about the practice of Organ Harvesting from unwilling donors. Then, take Action: Boycott AMC Theaters Pass this link on  - make sure that you send it to all SJWs. If they are going to position themselves as caring about Justice, then they ought to be confronted with something that should OUTRAGE them. Contact your Senators/Congresspeople Senate Congress Bring this up with your church. The churches should put this issue at the top of their attention list. Share

A Trip Down Memory Lane

Progressives, and the Media That Loves Them, are currently wondering why - oh, why? Why did those Stupid, Racist, Hate-filled, Inbred Yokels vote for Trump? And, they are Totally Surprised that those kind of questions are the reason that it happened. Ace of Spades has the Real Reason. Share
