Well, actually that is my new nickname for this boy called Arthur Thomas. We were chatting about sailing, and I started reading his book. He’s a very good writer. This story is of the travails of them sailing open water. Unbeknownst to him, after only a few chapters, I will say that this…
Here is some fun info if you’re curious…. A while back ago, we were at the Vortex Spring, and the girl signing the boys up for a dive told me that her grandma came up with the design for the Diver Down flag. My husband thought she was probably pulling my leg, but I felt…

Have you seen either of these? If not watch the videos in both links, please. Then I will share the authoritative opinion of an expert on this subject. He was an American Socialist. In fact, he helped to launch the Socialist movement in America. But first, the…

What do Teddy Roosevelt, Donald Trump, Limbaugh’s ‘Country-Club, Blue-Blood, Republicans and the Liberal/Progressive Left have in common? You just might be surprised to find out that they all support the same basic political ideology. I know, if you are a Trump Supporter or a die-hard Republican, you…
For a few days I have been debating the immigration issue with B. and Don. Basically, they say that we should send all the illegals to Mexico because they are here illegally. I’d like to ask them just a few questions related to the cost/benefit ratio of their idea as opposed to Carson’s idea. First…

Today is Thursday, August 13, 2015. At about 0840, CST, on his radio show, Glenn Beck joined the party where it comes to teaching the truth about Islam. Unfortunately, as is usual when it comes to Spiritual matters, Beck missed the mark. It’s true, he is in…

I have noticed an increase in Face Book posts from people claiming they have a ‘right’ to their Social Security. They claim that the money they paid in is theirs and they deserve to get it back. many even believe their money is in an account with…
…but since our old friend William saw fit to accuse me of being a bigot – I assume because I wrote about Michael Brown – and he challenged me to post his email, here goes: William Gates <wmgates68@XXXXXX 7:17 PM (1 hour ago) to me Write an article about a white person that was highly…
There is a legal term for what is happening in Ferguson. It is called the subornation of perjury – convincing someone to commit perjury – to swear a false oath. The original sin was the lie that Michael Brown was a gentle giant, just out cheerfully spreading the Word of God and generally helping the…
I know a lot of people like him, but I have real problems with Rubio. First, I do not believe he has given up on amnesty — not for a minute. That is enough to keep me from voting for him, but I found something else that, if it is true, makes Rubio to naive…
When Donald Trump raised his hand at Chris Wallace’s inquiry regarding which Republican candidates would not pledge to support the eventual nominee, it was far more telling than we knew. Many saw that act, as Trump himself declared, a refusal to give up “leverage” with the GOP – but I see it differently. He was…
OK, I confess: I fell for Fiorina — and for the same reasons I believe most people are falling for Trump. I like what Trump says, and I admit, I am even a little sympathetic to the way he says it, but I know he is most likely a Democrat Party infiltrator sent to work…
Donald Trump is actually executing a brilliant strategy of deception. He has the establishment GOP thinking he is all Tea Party and he has all the Tea Party thinking he is the establishment. For being critical of him, I have been called a neocon AND a right wing extremist within an hour of each other.…
Unfortunately, I missed the earlier debate, but have watched some clips. Fiorina is surely well-spoken. For me, I really dug Carson. My husband liked Trump. I argued that I felt that he was out of his league, but my husband says to me, “Kelly, if we had a squatter on our property, which one of…

I watched the ‘debate,’ if I can call it that. It seemed to me that it was more like an effort by FOX News to ‘shape’ public opinion about the candidates to fit the media’s preferred narrative of who they are and what they believe. But leaving…

I do not like it when others try to deceive people, and this definitely applies to me, too. I despise hypocrisy, especially in myself. Unfortunately, I am human, and though I try, I fail — often. Still, I try to be honest with the people in my…

Before you assume that this post is meant to bash Barack or Hillary — STOP! I did not say they are evil, I said they represent the face of evil. What do I mean by that? Well, this is not going to be easy for many of…
Oftentimes I wonder if Americans are so shallow that they will choose a person based on their appearance. I mean, look at Obama; he’s a good-looking, healthy, young man, so I just really don’t believe that a lot of Americans actually listen to what a candidate is saying. (Obviously, they didn’t with him…) On the…
Dad and Fly Boy brought up sports last night. I mentioned that I had read about this fella, Tim Tebow, getting a shot at being a QB of some team (I read sports, but I am not into this song and dance…..the Eagles, if I remember correctly?) My daughter-in-law was quite keen on all things…
