    No Self-Hating Name as "Indigenous Persons Day" - Keep Columbus Day

    Last Sunday, I was talking to a few of my friends, and mentioned stuff that happened over a previous Columbus Day Weekend. Someone "corrected" me, saying it is "Indigenous Persons Day." I snapped at him, saying, "I am sick and tired of being told we're bad people, that we don't belong here." I...

    What climate action to people favor or be willing to accept?

    There are a few problems. The biggest one is that no one has any idea if "mitigation" will do anything at all. This is about control, not the environment. How do you know that if we take lemming-like measures it will accomplish anything?

    Have We Surrendered to Thieves, Mobs & Shoplifters?

    The problem is that these charges, as a practical matter, are never tried.

    What climate action to people favor or be willing to accept?

    I'll tell you one thing; people who think like us need to speak up, and sooner rather than later.

    What climate action to people favor or be willing to accept?

    I wish that were true. Unfortunately I represented a "recycling company" during the early 2000's, for about eight years. Very few "recycled" items are re-used. Almost all of them go into landfill or are incinerated. There's really not much of an end-user taker. It's mostly a "feel-good" action...

    Have We Surrendered to Thieves, Mobs & Shoplifters?

    In 1975 I worked for a week as temporary Christmas help at Macy's in White Plains. One snowy night I was threatened by someone. I gave the thug $10 out of my wallet and reported the incident. Rather than walky-talky the door guards, I was fired.

    Have We Surrendered to Thieves, Mobs & Shoplifters?

    If someone gets an entry level job they make maybe $15 an hour. A one-minute shoplift can net $300 easy. That's 20 hours of honest work. The penalty used to be jail or a criminal record. Now it's a 20 minute booking and release.

    Have We Surrendered to Thieves, Mobs & Shoplifters?

    Shoplifting should be a hazardous occupation. No one promised that the worst that would happen would be a lecture from a liberal judge and non-adversarial prosecutor.

    What climate action to people favor or be willing to accept?

    During the 1997-8 Niño episode some "scientists" were blaming El Niño on human activities. What climate alarmist creates is an ability to grab larges amounts of cash to spend without any accountability. Who knows, if 2037 is relatively quiet, if the spendapalooza did any good?

    The agenda is control, not saving the world.

    Benedict Arnold - A Traitor, Burned in Effigy, Again and Again (But was he really?) I Don't Think So

    ^^^^^^ True, the British would have had to have eyes on the back of their heads to trust him. But still his disloyalty was well-earned by the Continental Congress. He laid out his own money to fund his troops and they were not grateful

    Yet Another Kennedy Assassination Conspiracy Theory Almost 60 Years too late, new book The Final Witness by Paul Landis

    The Vietnam War was not on many radars at that point, and Kennedy was against the war, in my opinion, only in the sepia-tone imaginations of people who idealize Camelot. I think he would have been better than Johnson at explaining the need for intervention. I think what got Kennedy in trouble...

    Benedict Arnold - A Traitor, Burned in Effigy, Again and Again (But was he really?) I Don't Think So

    All of us, as schoolchildren, learned about Benedict Arnold. We learned that he was a traitor. See recent article,A Traitor, Burned in Effigy, Again and Again What we were not taught was his pre-treason, heroic aspect. One thing to remember was that the U.S. was not a country, but an idea, or...
