Now we discover another massive scandal when it came out that FEMA workers have been directed to bypass the… Read More »
[September 4, 2024] Tim Walz is hated by the Soldiers he served with in the Minnesota National Guard; for most folks, that is hard to understand. What surprised me more is the controversy of Walz’s embellishing his service (actually lying is a better term), which is not going away. Posted on her podcast, Megyn Kelly interviews four of… Read More »
[July 25, 2024] In 2021, the White House announced the creation of the American Rescue Plan as President Biden’s $1.9 Trillion plan to “provide direct relief to Americans, contain COVID-19, and rescue the economy.”1 What could possibly go wrong?

[March 27, 2023] Due to a planned surgery, I will be offline for a week or so. It is uncommon for me to miss any day without a blog post but “doctor’s orders … stay off the computer.” As readers know, I’m the only one who maintains the site, and thus there will be no posting. I will… Read More »
